A w riter in the B in^am ton Press fears rattlesnakes £u?e com­ing up edong the E ast Branch "Val­ley. One was kiUed last week a t Shinhopple. This is not imusuaL An occasional ra ttle r has been kUled in th a t section for many years.

is the good old summer

A wUd turkey’s nest with 11 eggs has been discovered in a hay field on the mountain north of the village. Mother turk is sitting on the eggs. A flock of young turijs and a m other hen were seen in the Huckleberry brook region last week. If the young­sters -survive the coming winter, this section msty be suppUed with wUd turkeys in a few years.

This time!

• • ♦These are the days we dreamed

about in January and February and on th a t cold morning when the mercury stood a t 30 below.

* « *These are the days of baying,

fiUed summer boarding houses and many hotel reservations.

* * *These are the days when garden

“sass” begins to be food, more deUcious than money can buy.

» » •These are the days of vacation,

of foUowing smooth dirt roads into far away valleys, of hiking cool mountain traUs, of picnics beside a mountain stream where an old bridge completes the scene for an exceUent photograph.

* ♦These are the days to sit on the

porch after the sun has gone down and dream or visit, the days of famUy reunions, of young love, of the old swimmin’ hole, of heavy morning dew—^pure distiUed from the air, of kids selling lemonade along the streets.

• • * 'These are the days of the year’s

most comfortable clothes, of cool mountain nights, of sleeping bags and tents, of tours, of Canada fishing, of days a t the seashore of visits to grandfather’s farm.

* * •These are the days of fishing,

be it a seven-inch trou t from head­w aters of a mountain brook or a 700-pound tuna off the New Eng­land coast, days of air condition­ing in a hot metropolis or leaf con­ditioned shade underneath a taU maple on a mountainside.

• * »These are the days of idleness,

days to re trea t to the mountains, days which sUp too rapidly into the past. A summer and a creek are alike in the way they are so soon gone and we Uve to wonder why we did no t grab more of the pleasures they offered.

• • •These are the days when the

wUd is happy. Food is every- \»iiere for aU the creatures, wheth­er it be an osprey circling far up into the sky on rising currents or a chipmunk gathering cheeks fuU of seeds and smjiU fru it down on earth.

These are the days when the wUd has no concern for the future which occupies so much of man’s time and thought. A chuck has but to dig a burrow in a clover patch and eat sweet food for a w inter fattening. He has no deep freeze to fUl—a far better plan, Ues down and sleeps the winter away.

4> « •These are the days when there

is singing and chattering in the wUd, calls which man has never fathomed, other Ccills a t a pitch which his ears never hear. WUd creatures eat their fiU each 24 hours. P art fly south when days shorten, others take a long v ^ - te r sleep, the remainder Uve aU winter in the forest feeding on what nature offers.

* ♦ *These are the days of great

green mountains where the trees have hung out a miUion awnings to keep the forest floor in shade. Here a deer may enjoy a cool summer vacation, no charge for room, bed or board.

• « *There are no deer thermometers

and it is possible a deer, under the tree awnings, may never know about hot weather. There are no streets in the foi*est, no traffic signs. I never saw a sidewalk in the woods.

• • *AU the forest is quiet, except

th a t hen-sized inspector, the pUe- ated woodpecker, who regularly visits each tree to be certain all is in order or to take out large chips in search of an intruder, he, by some mysterious process, knows to be present.

• • •These are the days of moonUt,

warm nigjits when myriad fireflies try to give l i ^ t in damp places. I have seen stars faU but never witnessed the faU of a “lightning bug.” When the firefUes Ugjit the swampy places, bats with a radar, put in action before man came to the world, devour blood-letting mosquitoes and other insects which are a ir borne.

• * *C5ty folks who come to the Cats­

kills know Uttle of moonUght on a forest floor, whether the moon be in fuU glory, half Ught or quarter iUumination. I suppose the first quarter of the moon gives one- fourUi the iUumination of the fuU face. But I have never attem pted to measure the Ught. My scien­tific outdoor instruments consist of a wind gauge and a rain measure.

PhU Green and Steve PeduUa, two smaU boys, nearly caught four-pound brown trout under­neath the post office bridge one day last week. Steve had the monster out on the bank and was endeavoring to haul it to the top when his line broke. ITie trout slid back into the binnekiU. There was another lunker in the w ater of about the same size.

Los Angeles, CaUf. July 5, 1957

To The News:Thank you for the prompt reply.

Your article on page six of the June 28 issue “Mountain Dew” was most interested and certainly brought back nostalgic memories of my own boyhood in the Cats­kills. I t was in my opinion, a fine editorial and my congratulations t othe author. I am looking for­ward to each issue of your fine paper.

Very truly yours,James Hickey

Pine HiU, July 6, 1957 To The News:

I have been vacationing in the beautiful vUlage of Pine HiU this past week. I read in yoiu- current issue about the viUage having the o p ^ rtu n ity to buy the w ater company.

To me the one thing needed in Pine HiU is a pubUc svwmiAing pool. Two or three local hotels have their own pools for their private guests. The place where I am staying doesn’t "have any pool. The large lake is also pri­vately owned and restricted.

I should think it is now a won­derful opportunity for the viUage to have its own pubUc pool sup­pUed by its own water.

Sincerely,Rose Bauff

Out-of-town motorists, especi­ally those using route 30, continue to be confused by the route 28 detour signs at Bridge street and atop the Fair street hiU although Main street is leopen and need for the detour is passed. Over the Fourth of July weekend there were more than 50 cars misguided by the signs. Entering the bade road frwn Bridge street, they would continue past Fair street bcause the sign tiiere covers only the route 28 detour. The signs should be removed.

There are many roadside springs along CatskiU highways, pouring out dear, sw ^ t water. A service d ub or organization like the Cto- tra l CatskUls assodaticm could make these springs attractive by buUding smaU concrete catch- boxes and b«iches. The Halcott C olter road has these.

Many folks who come to the Catskills for a day’s ride like to picnic. Outdoor fireplaces along route 28 would be appreciated by many. There is no sudi place along route 28 from Kingston to Oneonta.

New York buUt rest o r picnic places on both roads around the Pepacton reservoir. They are ap­preciated by those who travel around the pure w ater lake.
