Not so, however, for the wife of one of our reporters, To her, the world and its peo ple are a constant source of entertainment. She thinks everyone -and I do mean everyone - looks like sort of animal. Not even her husband is spared. He, she says, looks like a rabbit. (Let's hope he doesn't take himself too seriously. The pop ulation problem is bad enough the way it is.) All our newsroom staffers, the lady continues, bear strong resemblances to some non-hu man creature or other. Our staff, as seen through her eyes, includes another rab bit, a polar bear, a seal, a ca nary, a chipmunk, a panda, a beagle hound, a Siamese cat, a mole and an ostrich. I found her observations in teresting, to say the least. And all things considered, I think I came out of it pretty well I'm the chipmunk. No complaints, though. I'd rather be a chipmunk than a mole. Or a beagle hound. Chipmunks can be pretty nice people. Or should I say people can be pretty nice chipmunks? Anyway, feel free to drop In and see us sometime. But no peanuts, please. Rules, you know.

Response Wat Good Myers said Willi the excep tion of a few children giost of those who attended the recre ation prcgram lived within walking distance of the school.

A 'Shocking' Day For Williams Cows By ANN KATZENBACH Mail Tribune Correspondent Williams-July decided to nd up with a "shocking" wallop for the Wliams area this year - especially for some cows. Late Sunday afternoon, huge raindrops started fall ing and then developed into a raging hailstorm accom panied by thunder and lightning. Lightning struck on the Orval Lewman ranch, near lhe barn, during the storm. At a result, one of his cows wat knocked down in the stall by the electricity. Lewman and his father, R. F. Lewman, and his daugh ter, Tj-esa, were doing the milking when this occurred. They were able to get the cow out of the stall and saved her. Within a few minutes, down went two other cows, which they weren't able to ave. The cause was discovered to be the electric water heafiL-rs on both the Lev man and John Katzenbach ranches, which were short- Qed out by the lightning. Dom lamines received shocks by using their fau cets.
