One of the pleasant things
about "people watching" around
these parts is to come upon a
bus load of Senior Citizens do‘ing their travel thing thru our
foothill country. Groups of this
type do not limit their trips to
the summer months only; one is
apt to see their special charter
buses at any time of the year
up here. . . rain, shine, sleet
or snow. These fine older. Citizens bring with them an unbounded enthusiasm for sightseeing,
good food and souvenir buying
that is downright amazing. And,
their energy is incredible. . .
any one of them could no doutt
easily "outwalk" the writer any
old time! As a goodly segment of
our society, they are doubtless
better acquainted with notable
points of interest cross-country
than many of the natives in any of
their "ports of call."’ They really know how to make the most
of their Golden Years and more
power to them.

The mail frequently brings us
nice things. . . a case in point
of recent date was the warm
and complimentary note from
Anne Peterson of Spring Hill
Manor in reference to the Business Profile on that fine establishment in the Sept. 20 issue of the Nugget. Thanks, Anne
for them kind words.

There are some awfully good
, books available for your late
‘Fall and Winter reading sessions
this year. . . I'd like to call your
attention to a few of them. "Sir
Francis Drake,’’ by George Malcom Thomson is a stirring account of the great hero and pirate who died in 1596 off the
Panamanian coast after a "'career" which almost defies description, Thomson has done a
remarkably colorful job of
bringing the man and scoundrel
to vivid life again.
A particularly readable novel,
for those interested in the activities of a trial lawyer, is "The
Lawyer" by Albert Gerber.
Within its pages the reader is
taken thru the central character's education for his chosen
profession, his earliest beginnings in a law firm, his first
appearances in a court of law
and the gradual development of
an exciting legal career. There
is great suspense and much
dramatic action. . providing
the reader with a book which,
once started is not to be put
down until the last word is.read.
"Voices From The Big House"
by 10 authors, edited.by Frank
Earl Andrews and Albert Dickens who are serving terms of
67 and 51 years respectively
includes stories covering practically every facet of prison
[Notes off the Cuff”
By P. L. Smith
life in largely fictional form.
The authors are convicts serving anywhere from a minimum
of 30 years to a maximum of
life in New Jersey's prisons. The book will keep the
reader fascinated for several
hours of pleasantly informative reading.

There's a great big black
cat in my neighborhood.
easily twice or more the size
of any "average" cat.. who
has a deadly vendetta going against blue jays. All summer
long he tried, in vain, to bring
at least one of those feathered
[
fiends to "justice" and usually
ended up with nothing to show
for his efforts. A lot of the jays
have left the area, but a few
mornings ago Mr. Cat had "his
day!" After a determined bit
of stalking across lots he made
his move — like greased lightning — afd came off the winner
. . of one big tailfeather. It
was very amusing indeed — to
see him walking back home high,
wide and handsome, . . as tho’
wearing Seven League Boots. . .
carrying the feather so proudly
in his mouth. It made his day,
and no doubt gave him something to think about all winter.
