NEW RABBIT TRAP
INVENTOR REWARDED (kec. 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 27. For inventing in his spare time a trap, which kills rabbits painlessly, Frank Sawyer, a Wiltshire water bailiff, received a cheque for £3OO from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animate. Sir Robert Gower, chairman of the society, making the presentation, said “We have been searching for 40 years for a trap like this. It will be produced on a large scale.”
Sawyer said he made the trap from old perambulator parts. The rabbit treads on a steel plate and is caught round the throat by two arms.
