Snake Stories Are Likely Myths
Stories about snakes
seem to grow more fantastic
as the summer
grows better. "Some
stories are myths even
though they are commonly
held as fact,"
says Dr. Gary San
Julian, extension wildlife
specialist and assistant
profession of zoology
at North Carolina State
University.
Here are three of the
myths about snakes that
are often passed along
as being true:
Myth: The milk snake
will milk a cow.
Truth: This myth
probably arose because
the snake prowls stables
and old buildings
searching for small
rodents, its favorite
food.
Myth: The hoop snake
will take its tail in its
mouth and roll along
like a wheel or a hoop.
Truth: The snake may
assume a circular
position when resting on
the ground, and since
the snake is a shiny
black, it may look like a
bicycle wheel or a hoop,
but in no way is the
snake going to roll like a

wheel.
Myth: A snake that
has been cut up can reassemble
itself.
Truth: This myth may
be based on an unusual
lizard that has no legs
and is called the glass
snake. To escape capture,
the lizard's tail will
break off if someone
grabs him by it. The
lizard can grow another
one. If the person who
tried to catch the glass
snake sees the same one
later, he may have concluded
that the glass
snake retrieved and reattached
his tail.
Guilt, Grief Can Attend
Second Saying Of Vows
Guilt and grief may be
uninvited guests at a
second wedding. This is
especially true if there
are children from a first
marriage.
"One or both parents
may feel guilty about
breaking up a former
marriage. And children
may feel guilty, rightly
or wrongly, about
breaking up their parents'
marriage or trying
to break up the current
one," says Dr. Frances
Wagner, extension
human development
specialist, North Carolina
State University.
If stepfamily members
cannot discuss
their feelings with each
other, they should be
encouraged to talk with
someone outside the
family. A minister,
counselor or close friend
can help a person to be
realistic about the
situation and help
resolve guilt feelings.
Newly - constituted
step-families must also
deal with grief. Parents
mourn the loss of the exspouse
and any children
now living with others;
children mourn the lost
or absent parent and
siblings now living elsewhere.
Even the formerly
single stepparent
may mourn the loss of
iu.i u-;
single permits.
"It appears that
remarriage triggers
mourning for some
family members who
have not exhibited it
during the months
before the marriage.
Remarriage signifies, in
a formal way, the end of
the previous relationship,"
Dr. Wagner says.
Children sometimes
grieve because they feel
they are losing the
parent who is marrying.
This grief may be expressed
in anger.
How does one help?
"Allow the person to
talk about it. Allow the
preservation of
memories and some
keepsakes. Gently lead
the person to consider
the reality of the present
and help him or her
initiate plans for dealing
with the current
situation," Dr. Wagner
says.
When there is a computer
in the home, who
is most likely to use it?
Dad, say researchers,
followed by the kids and
' then Mom.
Use New Times
For Tomatoes,
Cooks Are Told
Tomatoes can be safely
processed in a boiling
water bath, but only if
newly recommended
times are used, reminds
Dr. Nadine Tope, extension
foods and nutrition
specialist, North
Carolina State University.
The hot pack method
calls for peeled and
quartered tomatoes.
Bring them to a boil and
stir in two teaspoons of
lemon juice or half a
teaspoon of citric acid
per quart of tomatoes.
Pack the tomatoes to
half an inch of the top of
the canning jar. Wipe
the rim carefully, and
adjust the lid according
to the manufacturer's
directions.
Process the jars in the
boiling water bath.
Pints need to be processed
for 35 minutes and
quarts for 45 minutes.
"Make sure you are
mring a water bath canner
with a top and a
rack. The open kettle
method is not safe," Dr.
Tope says.
Processing time for
tomato juice has also
been increased to 35
minutes for both pint
and quart jars.
To save time, use a
pressure canner. Pint or
quart jars of tomatoes
or juice only have to be
processed for 10 minutes
in a pressure canner,
the extension specialist
says.
"Never shorten
processing times below
USDA recommendations.
People who do run
the risk of spoilage and
food poisoning," Dr.
Tope says.

on the safe canning of
fruits and vegetables,

economist at the county
agricultural extension.
Lack Of Depth Is Problem
For 1984 Football Edition
Lack of depth is one of
the major roadblocks
standing in the way of
Warren County High
School having a good
varsity football year.
That is the opinion of
head coach Bill Frazier,
who hopes to guide his
Eagle squad to a firstr
place finish in the
Roanoke River Conference.
"If we can stay away
from injuries, we should
have a good team,'
Frazier said. "We lack
depth in most
positions."
While lack of depth is
regarded as a chief
weakness this season,
Frazier rates the offensive
backfield as the
team's foremost
strength.
This year will mark
Frazier's 23rd year in
coaching. He has coached
in Warren County for
the past 13 years. His
overall record is 153-578.
Last season's squad
compiled an 8-3 record,
finishing 5-1 in the conference
be"hind conference
champ Northampton
West.
Eleven lettermen will
be returning for the
Eagles this season.
They include:
—Quarterback Anthony
Russell, a 6-0,182pound
senior.
-End Mike Mitchell,
a 6-0,179-pound senior.
-Back Derrick
Davenport, a 5-11, 178pound
senior.
-Back Oakley Green,
a 5-9,168-pound junior.
-Center Joel Valentine,
a 6-0, 196-pound
senior.
—Tackle Chris Williams,
a 6-1, 231-pound
senior.
—Guard Steve Henderson,
a 6-0, 189-pound
senior.
—Guard Steven West,
a 6-0,215-pound senior.
—Defensive Back Clifton
Terry, a 5-10, 152
pound senior.
-End Wayne
Durham, a 6-0, 172pound
senior.

Recovery Tank
A properly functioning
coolant recovery system
keeps air from entering
the radiator. This reduces
the chance of corrosion
and also creates
pressure that will promote
coolant circulation
in the radiator. Check the
recovery tank often and
keep the fluid level on
the mark.

State Has
Written Will
It may be human
nature to avoid thinking
about unpleasant things.
"Many North Carolinians,
perliaps overwhelmed
by the complexities
of estate planning,
simply ignore the
problem and hope it
will go away," says
Nathan Garren, extension
economist, North
Carolina State University.
But unless an estate
plan is developed, it is
entirely possible that
your property will be
divided among surviving
family members
contrary to your wishes.
This is because the state
provides a "will" for
you if you don't write
one yourself.
"When a person dies
without a will, any property
is divided among
surviving heirs according
to the rigid specifications
of the North
Carolina Intestate Succession
Laws. Only property
such as insurance
policies with designated
beneficiaries and property
owned jointly with
survivorship rights are
not affected by these
laws," Garren says.
State law controls distribution
of both real
and personal property.
All personal property,
wherever it is located, is
subject to the North
Carolina laws of distribution
if you live in this
state. Only real property
in the state is
distributed according to
state law. Real property
outside the state is
distributed according to
the laws of that state.
''Division of property
under state law varies
depending upon which
family members survive
your death. No one
is required to make a
h? e** person
sfx>uld be aware of the
Provisions the state has
made for the distribution
of his property
''wold he fail to make
out a will," Garren says.
Along with determining
the distribution of
property, a will allows a
person to name a guardian
for any children and
to *lect an executor,
the person or institution
which will cany out
the will's provisions.
