D.C. "1 REMEMBER BY THE OLD TIMEBS From Adolph Link, Roselle, Illi nois: I was born in Davies Co., Illi nois, in 1885. Our first home that I can remember was rough board, one room. There was no plaster on interior walls or ceiling. This shack was located nine miles from the closest railroad town, where we bought most of our supplies. When just a boy I carried a bas ket of eggs more than a mile to a country store, for which we re ceived 6 cents per dozen. I can re call a neighbor selling his potatoes (and they were very nice potatoes) for 35c per bushel. My father walked to work on a farm which was a mile from our home. He was paid $1 per day. His work days were from 10 to 12 hours long and he received no board or lodging. He was employed only half of the time, as he was needed to help out with seasonal work. My mother did all of our washing by hand and our wash tub was our only bathtub. We had a shallow, hand dug well which usually went dry during the summer and fall months. Then we had to carry water from a spring a quarter of a mile away. There were no telephones or autos around us. When we needed a doctor some one would have to drive 9 miles to call the doctor, who had to drive his horses 9 miles to our home. We often hear people prate about the good old days. Give me the present with our modern conven iences.

AMERICANA Cities Te See Sarasota, Florida Resort City Aerial View—Sarasota, Fla. Gay, colorful, cosmopolitan Sarasota, Florida, bills itself as "Flori da’s Entertainment Capital." Favored by nature with 35 miles of fine, white sand beaches, an unexcelled climate and major tourist attractions, this Gulf Coast city attracts thousands of visitors annually, both winter and summer. They come for a vacation and, falling under Sarasota’s siren spell! often establish a permanent home. Since 1950 Sarasota has more than doubled in population and assessed valuation. Building per mits in 1956 reached the $12,000, 000 mark, making Sarasota one of the fastest growing cities, on a per capita basis, in the Sun shine State. During the winter season the population swells from 35,000 to more than 70,000. There are over 13,500 accomodation units and 300 restaurants in the county. While there are some 100 light industries in the county, and the area is nationally known for its celery farms and cattle ranches, it is primarily a resort center. Its attractions range from car nival to culture and sre varied to suit every taste. Of widest in terest, probably to young and old alike. Is die winter quarters of Ringling Bros., and Baraum and Bailey Circus, open to the public the year round. Sarasota boasts several muse ums and an extensive colony of artists, i writers and musicians. Two museums were left the State of Florida by circus magnate John Ringling; a third was created in his memory. Sunshine Springs Water Circus and The Circus Hall of Fame are great tourist attractions. Sunshine Springs, Satrasota’s answer to Cy press Gardens, is a man-made lake with 15 miles of water front Four water ski shows are pre sented daily to thousands of spec tators in a grassy amphitheatre. Swan boats wind through canals in the beautiful tropical gardens. Still relatively new is a $150,000 “Gay Nineties’ building especially designed to house a collection of more than 65 antique autos. Writers often like to picture the birds and animals of the great world outdoors in a singular light— /Some are killers, others are friend ly; some are wise; others are fool ish. But, birds and animals are like people—there’^ a little bit of bad and little bit of good in all of them. We are usually concerned, of course r with the matter of whether certain animals, fish, reptiles, or birds are beneficial to the aims and needs of humans. And perhaps this is why we are often misled by the picture that artists and writers sometimes draw for us. For instance, many people think that the owl is a wise, kind old bird that never brings harm to anything except pesky rodents that we do not need anyhow. This is generally true, with one exception—the. great horned owl. It would be a rare in stance if you find a wildlife author ity who would not admit that the great horned owl does more harm than good. Ranking just behind the eagle as a powerful bird of prey, the great horned owl has a distinct liking for game birds and animals. The badger is usually pictured as a vicious, surly animal. He is mean, in deed, when prodded and has been known to take the measure of as many as four stout-hearted dogs at one time. A member of the weasel family, the badger usually digs for his dinner, and the fare ranges from mice, gophers, and snakes to squirrels, rabbits, liz ards and skunks. Experts say Badgers mate for life and the male helps raise the young. Stinky, the skunk, another mem ber of the weasel family, is always pictured in a bad light because of his defensive weapon—an amber- colored, of highly displeasing odor, which he can spray for about 15 feet. But Stinky is a friend to man, eliminating rodents, snakes and insects. costs lasts little longer aluminum awnings ONLY FLEXALUM prnMtt nft tbtn •xslathm tatans*— • Parmanant Ftnlsfc • Complato Ventilation c Waathor Protection • Glare-Free light For FREE estimate without ob ligation CALL 993.
