ASK ME
ABOUT
NATURE
by Doris B. Kwasikpai
Dear Mrs. K;
I asked my mother why my frog can see under water.
She said, “Ask Mrs. K”. So please give me an answer.
. Louis
Dear Louis:
Your frog has thin “see-through” coverings which it
can pull over its eyes. The coverings protect its eyes
and allow the frog to see under water.
Dear Mrs. K:
How does the crocodile differ from the aligator? My
friend and I have a bet on the right answer. - Mr. Percy
Dear Mr. Percy;
The crocodile differs from the alligator by having a
more pointed head and snout and is more agile and
aggressive.
Dear Mrs. K:
Why can’t people eat box turtles? - Betty Barnes
Dear Betty;
It is not safe to eat the box turtle because it eats
poisonous mushrooms. The poison stays in the turtle’s
body. People sometimes die or are very ill after eating a
box turtle.
Dear Mrs. K;
What happened to the passenger pigeon? My
grandfather used to talk a great deal about them years
ago. - Mrs. Jackson
Dear Mrs. Jackson;
The last known passenger pigeon died in 1914 in a
zoo. Man destroyed these beautiful birds by killing
them and shipping them to the market.
Dear Mrs. K;
Is it true that the boa is called the most beautiful
snake in the world? -Joyce
Dear Joyce:
The Hound-headed Boa (Boa canine or Coralles
canine) is believed to be the most beautiful snake in the
world.
Dear Mrs. K:
What are sensitive plants? -Charlie M.
Dear Charlie;
Sensitive plants are some grasses, legumes and
mimosa which curl up or seem to wilt when touched.
There are so many things to learn about Nature.
People want answers but are afraid to ask. Well, don't
be.
Just put your questions in an envelope or on a post
card and mail it to me in care of this newspaper. (The
Tribunal Aid, P.O, Box 921, High Point, N.C. 27261),
and I will answer it in this column. Be sure to include
your name and address. If you do not wish your name to
be included when your letter is printed, indicate it in
vour letter. Keep your letters coming.

Un-flatlon. That’s a word you won’t find in any dictionary. But, you will find it at Lowe’s. It's
an uncommon word we use to describe an uncommon phenomenon: More for your money.
We can't say that everything we sell has gone down in price. But we're using our 130-store
volume purchasing power and hard-nosed buying (knowing WHEN and WHERE to buy Is just
as important as knowing WHAT to buy) to keep prices as low as possible and to increase
your buying power. That's Un-flation. It's more than a word. It’s a true value for your dollar.
And you’ll have to admit... that's Un-common.
