EOMUNOGINN-JOANWEIDOH iH Schreiner Institute has just received a gift of 150 mounted wildlife specimens from the private collection of a Kerrville man, D. J. Bullock of 607 West Main St. Dr.

Andrew Edington, president of the school, formally accepted the gift at the Bullock home on August 15. The specimens are being 1 taken over by the school's Biology Department headed by R. W. Garden. In addition to proving a valuable source for students in that department, the specimens are to be open to the public inspection at stated times.

Schreiner hopes to build a Science Hall in the future in which a room will be provided for display of the collection. A sative of Johnson's Creek, Texas resident 23 years and Kerrville citizen for three years, Bullock seceral years ago donated more than 1,000 specimens to St. Mary's University, San Antonio, where they have attracted wide interest. A visit with the donor reveals that he is a soft-spoken, mild, spare man with sandy gray hair, and a memory that holds an amazing amount of details about ilie specimens he has collected, in spite of his SO years. Fascinated a tnxiddermist he watched with boyish interest, Bullock started his hobby at age 11.

"My first specimen," he relates, "was a Blue Jay, and it pave me much of the usual beginner's trou- es." Since then he has collected more than 3.000 birds nnd mammals from more than half a dozen states, and nearly all in recent years from Texas. Many of these were not mounted but were retained as skins by the University of Michigan. He recalls that in the early years of the century in southern Minnesota ducks were so plentiful, "Their flying overhead would sound like thunder and they would stop us in the road." The absence of bag limits permitted him arul other hunters in liorse-and-luigKy days to kill Mallards arid sell them at $2.50 per dozen to eating "Prairie chickens were plentiful enough, too, to shoot and sell by the dozen." Ducks are his favorite to mount. "You can make them do almost anything but juack." Biologists and taxidermists may, secure a government permit to take birds and animals that would otherwise be forbidden. Before coming to Texas, Bullock was a third generation hardware dealer.

For five years he "traveled on the road" for an early hardware wholesaler. He considered himself retired when he moved to Brownsville, in 1933. He believes that a word of advice to hardware retailers, as applicable now as in his day, is to maintain as varied and complete a stock of merchandise as possible. He found Brownsville to be a collector's paradise, and he indicates that a great quantity of wildlife there helps Texas to compare with California as two states having over 600 species. However, he finally wanted to get away from the hot weather in the valley, and since leaving Brownsville has resided at Buchanan Dam, Burnet and San Antonio.

After presenting over 1,000 of. his mounted specimens to St. Mary's Institute he brought the residue to Kerrville. The collection he gave to Schreiner Institute included more birds than mammals, most of them Texas species and many of them seen in this area. In the Schreiner gift there is a Snowshoe Rabbit from Minnesota, Flying Squirrel from North Carolina, Ant- eating Woodpecker, Golden-mantel Ground Squirrel, Sooty Shearwater from California, and Wall-eyed Pike from Minnesota.

Interesting Texas specimens include Kangaroo Rat, Greater Yellow-legged Snipe, Yellow Crowned Night Heron, and such migratory waterfowl as Canada Goose. "My rarest specimen," he says, is a Swallowtail Kite which I killed in Central Iowa 50 years ago." It is in the St. Mary's collection. His chief tools are scissors and and he uses excelsior and tow to stuff most specimens. He has taken most of his specimens by shooting.

At his comfortable home, Mr. and Mrs. Bullock are likely to remark to visitors that the mornings, as well as the nights, are cooler here than where they previously lived. And when he discusses his extensive collection, indications are that he be- 'lieves the gift to Schreiner Institute is in good hands. Schreiner officials consider the collection a very valuable one and are loud in their praise of Bullock for his contribution.

Mrs. Margaret Hadden Page, Interred Friday Services were held Friday at Glen Rest Cemetery for Mrs. Margaret Hadden Page, 84, who died in Oklahoma City earlier in the week. Rev. Don Anderson officiated and interment was beside her husband, James L.

Page, who died in 1910. The family had resided here for many years, later going to Oklahoma City. Her survivors include four children, Mrs. Sherman Smith, Oklahoma City; Mrs. L.

W. Hadlet, Atlanta, Mrs. J. M. Crowell, Tulsa, and Guy E.

Saturday night, however, she went to dance with Spencer Brown and Lynn Wtldman. She is a member of the Methodist Church and takes modeling lessons. From this and other descriptions given, you should all get to know and like her. Also, Linda Phillips will go to Tivy this year. The other day at the Horse Races at Junction were Gay Wiggins, Judy Smith and Bill Bocock.

Bill came home Saturday, but Qay and Judy stayed for a wonderful dance, and then back home, Down at the coast, and having more than their share of fun were Spencer Brown and Lynn Wildman in one party, and Judy Smith and Rosemary Honea in another party. They went to dances, had beach parties, and toured all the popular spots like Buffalo Point. Now what would you do there? Lois Kullenberg has been visiting Jackie Lewallen in Austin this week. Esther Bode is wearing an engagement ring given to her by Donald Schreiber. Oh happy day! Susan Mahan is in Amarillo visiting friends and casing the town.

Brad Rhoden has been in Houston for the past few days. What's Rosemary doing? Haven't seen her around lately, mayben she's in a little town called Houston visiting, too? Julie Mosty is coming back today from a Nurserymen's Convention, which has been conducted since Sunday. Sunday, Martha Fletcher and Betsy Baldwin scraped their fingers raw and bopped off their feet when they cleaned up a record shop that Betsy had goofed up previously. Brenda Jones is taking pride in her new beach sandals that she just bought. A brief sketch would be white with frilly flowers in the front.

If anyone has about three small part Dalmation puppies in the back seat of his car, the tell-tale guilty ones are Francelle Robison, Brenda Jones and Mary Nell Nesbitt. Who else would do such a thing to get even, with a poor helpless male? Help! Scream! Get him a doctor! Were sounds when Jerome Alexander was rushed off to the hos pital last Friday night after the dance. The reason no one really knows. Maybe you can figure it out. There have been some awfully wild stories about what was wrong.

Virus? Going crazy? COLLISION Police officers investigated a minor collision in the 900 block of Garden Wednesday evening, August 16, when a 1961 Chevrolet driven by Mrs. Irene W. Guthrie collided with a 1949 Ford owned by William Mosel. Officers said Mosul's car was parked at the curb nnd the collision occurred as Mrs. Guthrie backed out of her driveway.
