Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt 385-5689 Find Snakes In Lake Are Non-Poisonous Anyone who read the last column, should remember the warning I put in, concerning i he snakes in the lake. We had a brave soul who caught several snakes from around the entire lake. He is a herpetologist, who knows snakes. The snakes he found are known as Queen snakes. They are a non- poisonous breed, but should be left alone. They will bite if antagonized. Several other types of snakes were caught -- also non-poisonous - they are a breed of water snake. If you or a member of your family is bitten it would be advisable to contact your family physician. VISITORS Ruth Kroncke entertained Pamela and Glen Gyon and their six week old son, Scott Douglas. The Gyons are from Belleville, 111. Also visiting Ruth were Patty and Gene MeNaughton of Cahoakia, 111. Gene MeNaughton is the herpetologist who caught the snakes. Thank you for relieving our minds.

Joe and Toni and their two sons first stopped in Cherry Valley to visit friends. From there, they arranged to meet the same friends at the Buffalo River State Park- where they went canoeing. While on this water excursion, the canoe tipped and Toni lost her camera in the river. At the time, it was a frightening ex­ perience but a laughable one now that they look back on it. From the state park, they visited Bull Shoals and then on to Mountain View. On down the line to Eureka Springs where they saw the Passion Play in an open amphitheatre. They then toured a few of the local museums. Somewhere along the line, Andre, the oldest, got himself a case of .either poison oak or poison ivy. It wasn't severe but pretty interesting of vacation. Quick get the calamine!! The family then went to Beaver Dam and Devils Den State Park-where there are underground caves the tourists can go through. The wine making plant in Altus, Arkansas, was the next stop. That sounds like a fun place to visit! Holiday Island, which is a new community, was another tour stop they made, and then it was on to Bronson, Mo., for some repairs on the camper. The trip was then resumed when they went to the Merrimac Caverns and White River, where Toni gathered polished stones from a working spring. Toni explained that you have a bucket with about 30 ft. of line attached. You then throw the bucket into the water until you hit the spring. The bucket is pulled down and when you pull the bucket back, there are beautifully polished stones which you may keep. Toni said that it was a fun experience and one of achieving a memorable keepsake of their vacation. Then, as vacations do, it was over and time to head for home. The Yerkes family arrived home safe, tired, and happy for the memories that will stay with them.

Some of you mothers ought to sneak a peek at what your kids are doing while they wait for the bus. I was shocked to see these kids going all over other people's property and literally, destroying lawns, bushes and trees. They throw stones at each other, not thinking of the consequences As the trucks, from the trucking company, go by, the kids throw stones, gravel and chunks of wood under the wheels. If anyone says something to the kids', the < kids smart something off and the language that is used-by the kids-is not to be believed. As the bad weather approaches the younger ones are snowballed by the older "bullies". It's really a shame the kids have to experience something like having their new clothes torn just because one of the bigger kids gets his kicks out of teasing them. As any mother knows, clothes are expensive. After just buying the new school wardrobes-it should be fresh in your memories how those dollar signs keep popping up. Why not talk to the older kids and try to explain to them why they shouldn't do these things. All it will cause is a lot of trouble, a bad name and reputation if it keeps up like this for the rest of the school year. If the damage to the private property continues, it will eventually mean bringing in the police or county sheriff. Is that what you want for your kids9 How does one replace a child's eye that is lost from a stone gone astray? That is something that is irreplaceable - either by artificial means or monetary settlement. A word to the wise should be sufficient. GET-WELL WISHES Go out to Jessie Corbett and Arden Heald.

The city of Venice, Italy, owes its origin to Attila, as it was founded by refugees, who sought safety in the swamp, found it wasn't so bad, and stayed on.
