APGAR-Mrs. Walsh tells us
"One morning shortly before New
Years, we looked out of our front
window and saw a very tall bull
moose standing by our driveway
The radio was playing music anc
he was standing very still as
though listening.
ga noise from the house caused
him to turn and trot off among
the trees. The radio was still play
ing and in a short time we looked
out again and he was coming uE
the trail toward the house. He
came close to the front window
and stood there very still except
that he would tilt his head toward
the house as though trying to
locate the sound. He stood that
way for some minutes and then
turned and walked away.
81 am sure he was attracted by
the music. 1 know that cattle and
deer will work up close to a house
to listen to music and it is quite
probable that moose have an ear
for music also"
Mr.. and Mrs. Walsh spent

into the tape recorder. They al
did pretty well but we found lots
to criticize.
END OF SHIPPER
We were sorry when we went
over to the schoolhouse Sunday
and found little chameleon, Snip
per, dead in the terrerium. Snip
per was the gentle one and would
let you take him up on your fin
ger. Snapper, the larger one, IS
very wild and doesn't want to be
taken up. We did find one fly on
Christmas day and gave it to Snip
per, but for the most part we have
Just had to put bread and half an
orange in the terrerium, and hope
for the best. Well miss Shipper.
We took little Skipper, our more
than dollar-sized turtle, turkey IL
yer as planned for Christmas, but
Skipper just turned up his blunt
little nose and refused to eat any.
We tried to tempt him to eat little
bits of that liver for several days,
but he still refused. We finally
gave up and opened a can OF
shrimp, Shippers favorite food.
