IT'S A
FACT
Do Snakes Charm Birds?
There is an old belief that snakes can charm or hypnotize
birds and small animals. All experiments conducted in captivity with snakes
indicated that snakes possess no occult powers . The odd antics of birds
around snakes comes from the fact that the birds are trying to distract the
snakes from either their young or their eggs by going through queer capers.
Are Oysters Edible In Months With No R In The Name?
Oysters are always edible but during the spawning season of May
through August they are stringy in texture and flat in taste so their sale com-
mercially has been discouraged.

Wi as adults, are responsible for
those following in our footsteps
Can we as adult leaders let them

looking to us for guidance and
leadership, and we cannot let them
down It is entirely up to us to
provide adequ,.tr facilities for the
education of our children, and
grandchildren.

taken backward. when we should
be going forward.
Our children and grandcliildren
were denied the privilege of a

by a margin of seven votes. I only

You can laugh at my optimism if
you want to. but I want to lie abli
