Snakes are plentiful all over North Carolina and here In Perquimans County. The Lake Road area along highway 1231 Is perhaps one of the most rattlesnake Infested areas of this state and Virginia, The Dismal Swamp area is a rattlesnake haven and perhaps many of them migrate to the adjoining tars, especially 1231. W. Talmage Lewis, told this reporter, that within three days he caught three rattlesnakes on his farm. Two of these are shown in the above picture. One of the snakes had seventeen rattles. Mr. Lewis says, rattlesnakes are tittle like cats or dogs and do not lay eggs. The rattlesnake pilot Is believed to be the fe male and is often closely fol lowed or escorted by a rattlesnake.-; ''--'!'......';.,. ;',.-..:;. Considering the toxic fatality of the rattlesnake very, very few people are bitten and most all survive. Thanks to modern scientific medicine and vacine which,- if hot too late, are sure life safers. . ' : Since this Is the snake season, and maybe this little word of warning might help "remain as calm as possible, take first aid, do not exert yourself, and seek transport their children to and from school and ltwlll be manda tory that parents arrange to have their children picked up at the school not later than 3:45 p.m. on days the program is in opera tion.
