Those glorious summer days

About this time each summer, thoughts of the fall season start popping into this reporter’s mind no matter how much I try to ignore them.

Plutonium and N.Y. water NEW YORK — Plutonium was discovered in New York City’s drinking water after the city received an anonymous letter threatening to contaminate the water supply if charges against accused subway gunman Goetz were not dropped officials said recently.

It Happened in — King Arthur's Town

GRANDMOTHER SAYS, “For years America’s advertisers, entertainers, theaters, authors, publishers and broadcasters have sowed the seeds of illegal, unnatural sex, pornography and violence. Now we are reaping a harvest of: disease, abortion, crime, physical abuse and child molesting, and stealing. All it takes for bad things to flourish is for people to say and do nothing.” HAPPi BIRTHDAY to: Phyllis Sheline, August 2; Orpha Foster and Brian Rose, August 4; Russell Johnson and Catherine Bause, August 5; Becky Boyer, Amy Barton, Norma Sliger, Heather Waldrop, Frank Wall and Sonja Kimmel, August 6; Sandy Harris, Marian Signorelli, Audrey Stuart, Dorothy Snoke

things that can only be done during warm weather. Already I find myself wishing we had planted a few more things in the garden, invited guests for a few more cookouts, spent more time swimming and had gone on some short trips. Last January, we could hardly wait till summer was here so we could do “everything.” But, for some reason, when the opportunity comes we are always busy doing something else and we forget about plans made last winter. We started last fall tossing things into bags and boxes for a nunmage sale this June. What had seemed like a large quantity of items proved hardly enough to make a decent showing by nunmage sale standards. This reporter’s sister can put on a rummage sale that would put a discount store to shame. She has a real “knack” for knowing what will sell, how to price it and how things should be displayed. Next time we will leave Sister in charge of rummage sales while this reporter and Hubby turn their attention to antiquing, flea markets and visiting places of historical interest. Hubby has a real passion for auction sales. This reporter has never understood how he can stand for hours, in the blazing sun, just to bid 50 cents on a hammer or screw driver and then say he had a good time. Os course he usually looks at me with raised eyebrows when I tell him I spent all day shopping and had a good time. There are always extra responsibilities during the summer : painting the house, lawn and garden care, looking after the boat and repairing the pier, bird houses, picnic table, fences and etc. Last week, for the first time since the baby owls left their nest in the wood duck box in the front yard, we heard screech owls calling. We keep watching to see if the adult owls will be spending a second winter in the wood duck box. Now we have a “fleet” of about 30 wild ducks that cruise the lake and frequently feed in our yard. They are a constant source of entertainment. Visitors always seem so surprised when they see that we have ducks, squirrels, rabbits, turtles, a large assortment of birds and even an occasional raccoon, opossium, snake or deer right in our yard. It’s easy for us

The convention is being broadcast, via satellite, from Fort Worth, Texas. The church is located on Robert Lewis Drive, on the west side of Irish Lake. Anyone who is interested in hearing Rev. Copeland is invited to attend and may call 594-2290 for further information. DON’T MISS the North Webster Public Beach Fund Auction on August 10. It will be held on the lawn in front of the International Palace of Sports. Phil Fidler is serving as auctioneer. MABLE DOYLE, Woodside, Calif., formerly of North Webster, died unexpectedly on July 29 at her home. She was 73 years old. Her husband, Thomas F. Doyle preceded her in death on April 12,1975. She is survived by one son, James C. Doyle, Woodside, Calif., and two daughters, Mrs.

to forget that people who live in the city aren’t blessed with an abundance of wild life. Playing Dead One night, just as Hubby had turned off the garage light and stepped out the door into the yard, his foot landed on something that made him quickly step back inside the garage and turn on the light. When he looked out he saw an opossium “playing dead.” He came into the house arid told me what had happened. At first he thought he had stepped on the cat But we all know what kind of a sound a cat makes when it gets stepped on and sometimes when it doesn’t. We decided to go check just in case Hubby really had scared the opossium to death and it wasn’t “playing dead.” We found no sign of it around anywhere and this reporter would not be surprised if it is still running. Fortunately Hubby only had to come as far as the house or he might have overtaken and passed the opossium somewhere along the road. We will never understand why the poor critter didn’t bite him. When Hubby’s aunt, who lives in Pittsburg, Pa., heard of the incident, she was shocked. She couldn’t understand why we would want to live in such a wild, uncivilized place. We assured her it wasn’t really so bad. About the only muggins we ever have around here are when the cat catches a mouse. There are some remodeling projects in the house we hope to finish before the snow flies. Dragging lumber in and out of the place is always easier when it’s warm and the back ' door is already open. This reporter can say that because it’s her job to hold the door open for people carrying ladders, buckets, boards, etc. Hubby discovered some years ago that I am a disaster looking for a place to happen when I get a hammer in my hand. He has the scars to prove it. So I am assigned to less hazardous duty away from the construction area. It’s a good thing the cat has chosen to spend her summer draped across the cushions of the back porch settee. The two days it rained ast week she stayed in the house and had her own “demolition derby’’ going throughout the downstairs. This reporter picked up magazines, rescued upset vases of fresh flowers, repeatedly chased her off the clean bed spread, soothed
