"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.

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.
