snakes are not poisonous and fulfill de

also rattlers, cottonmouth moccasins, and
copperheads. The Highlands Biological
Station, which is the parent organization
of the Highlands lluseuiu, conducts Nature
Study classes for children, through the
>iusem« These classes, which started on
Tuesday, June 21, instruct the children on
such subjects as this. The instructor
takes them walking and shows them tj^ical
danger spots, as well as teaching them
where to look for birds’ nests and rabbit
warrens and chipmunk houses. It*s fun,
and it’s also a very sound form of insur
ance.
The Hudson Library, which is next to
the Episcopal Church and across from Potts
Market, makes a point of buying best
sellers. Hovrever, the budget does not
stretch to several copies of each smash
hit, A lot of our summer residents bring
books with them, so we wondered whether,
when the books have been read, they might
like to donate them to the Library, for
the futxire consumption and pleasure of
others.

The Highlands Town Council meets ev
ery first and third Monday at Town Hall.
These meetings are not only open to the
public, but the Coimcil would welcome the
attendance of property owners, therefore
taxpayers* The Council works to make
Highlands better and more pleasant for its
residents, and it is a sad fact that most
of our summer residents are not even aware
of the names of our tovm governors, much
less the v/ay in which they work. Having
attended a recent meeting, we recommend
that those v/ho are truly interested in
Highlands do the sane.
Speaking of the Town Council, and re
flecting the. ccaiFuents of. our readers,
wouldn’t it be nice if there v/ere side-
v/alks on the approaches to the Post Of
fice? The new Post Office is a real
pleasure (in dry weather). Ho^^rever, when
it rains, and one is walking to and from
the Iiail, it is necessary to walk either
in the street or in mud. Even a truckload
of crushed rock on either side of Fifth
Street, as a temporary measure, would
pleasure the increasing number of mail-
receivers.

^t any hour of the day or night, there
is a police car on alert at the center
of town. One citizen answered his tele
phone at a beyond-midnight hour, and
heard the voice of the patrolman on duty
saying: '’Sorry to disturb you, but the
lights of your car are on, and if you
don’t turn them off, your battery will
be pretty dead in the morning.” It’s
very reassuring to feel so well cared
for.

The Crane Riding Stable is again
open, at the corner of Fifth Street and
Bearpen Road. As we gave you the rule
of the road for cars, we give you the
rule of the road for horses: First, the
main passengers on horses are children,
therefore, proceed with caution in any
case. Next: Horses (with passengers)
always veer to the right v;hen cars come
