Army Tankers Use
Explosive "Snakes"
To Destroy Mines
Fort Hood, Texas The Army is us
ing snakes to clear minefields.
Not trained, seeing-eye pythons, you
understand, but a long aluminum tube
that gets its nickname from its simi
larity to the proportions and flexibili
ty of a snake.
The "snake" comes in a kit equipped
with five-foot sections of aluminum
tubing which can be joined together
to any desired length up to 1,000 feet.
Fully armed with Bangalore torpe
does, a 400-foot snake carries 1,500
pounds of explosives.
Upon contact with an enemy mine
field, the snake is attached to the
front of the tank and pushed through
the danger area. The tank then bocks
off, fires on the snake, waits for the
dust to settle, then proceeds over the
15-oot path the explosion has cleared.
When. the First Armored Division
maneuvers with the snake, its fangs
are pulled. As the Army puts it, the
explosives are "simulated."
They who delight to be flattered,
pay for their folly by a late repent
ance. Phaedrus.

Jesus declared, "Seek ye first His
Kingdom and His righteousness, and
all these things will be added unto

Soldier's Slingshot
- Is Deadly Weapon
It Lobs Grenades!
Korea A tough U. S. Army serg
eant has devised a slingshot that
would have helped David make a
quicker job of Goliath it throws ex
plosive grenades instead of stones.
The ingenious but potent innovation,
made of two leather boot laces 30
inches long connected to a wide pouch,
is a descendant of the slingshots from
the Kentucky boyhood of Master Serj
eant Roy,L. Sutherland, of Paynes
ville, Ky.
Tryouts with the sling have been
remarkable,' more than trippling the
distances expert grenade tossers can
throw, v Sutherland has hurled a 21
dtmce practice grenade 167 yards with
a high degree of accuracy. In sling
tosses of 150 yards, he has landed the
missile within a 20-foot radius of the
