Chinchillas On Thursday, February 4, 1954, Mr. Harold Hunnicutt, a local chinchilla breeder, brought one of his chinchillas to the fifth pe riod biology class. He told us of the chinchillas' diet, how they bathed, and gave a brief history of the chinchilla. Mr. Ilunnlcutt told us the story of Mi. Reginald Chapman, an A merlcan engineer in South Amer ica, who quit his job In order to hunt for chinchillas that were considered to be extinct. He hunt ed with a group of native Indians who took him into the high Andes in searcji of the chinchillas.

B. S. NEILL. Trustee. , Davis & White, Attorneys. 'MR? m U r Chapman and his company' of natives searched for three yeara and finally found thirteen chin chillas. Mr. Chapman had some trouble getting the chinchillas back to the United States. The Peruvian Gov. ernment did not want to let him take them out of the country. Finally, he persuaded the govern ment to let him bring them to the United States. Mr. Chapman brought the chinchillas back to the United States on a Japanese freighter. This was a small boat, and the chinchillas were to be kept below deck. Mr. Chapman and his wife spent all of the re turn trip to the United States fanning the chinchillas becauste of the heat ?>elow deck. After ail this trouble, the chin chillas lost all of their hair, but eleven of the small animals were saved from death. Mr. Chapman bought some pro perty in thfe mountains of south ern California, and here he set up his chinchilla ranch. The chin chillas multiplied, and chinchilla ranching began to spread all over the United States. The chinchilla is a small hearty rodent with very thick, valuable fur. It has eighty-seven hairs in each pore as compared to a hu man having but one hair in each pore. The quality of the hair is found by blowing into it to see if it is in prime, Prime means that the hair is .at its best quali ty. Th \t time comes between Jan. uary and February, depending on the climate. The N. C. B. A. (National Chin rhilla Breeders' Association), Mr Hunnicutt said, is the association to which he belongs in connec tion with :.ls raising of chinchil las. This association prints and distributes to its members, ma terial on the care of these valu able animals. The association al so handles all pelts from these animals; in this way- it makes possible a chinchilla fur industry, instead of individual ranchers trying to pc'dle their own few pells. Mr. Ilunnicutt related that even though only chinchilla ran chers can belong to the associa tion, 4any rancher would he fool ish not to 'belong because of the many opportunities it offers. The chinchilla that Mr. Ilunni cutt brought was a female which brought -honorable' mention In the chinchilla show last year ar Win ston Salem. These shows are held each year in one city in either North Carolina or South Caro lina and are open to all breeders in the United States, though It Is only the North Carolina anil South Carolina Show. Also each year in Washington, D. C., a Na tional Chinchilla Show is held. The growing value because of their rapid reproduction and be cause of high fur value, make these animals a very profitable TRUSTEE'S SALE OF LAND Under and by v4rtup of the au thority conferred by that certain Deed of Trust executed by Oliver Falls and wife to D.
