Vacation Lands
NORTH PALM BEACH — For journeys to new Places,
during vacation time the pubtir library here displa.%% books
which map routes to anywfiere .
Mrs. Jacqueline Uborski, chief librarian, tells about
some of the away-frorn-ft-all vacation spots descriW by li-
brary books.
W. suggests a look at Juneau, Alaska for Palm Beachers
who would like to find a cool spot in July. Juneau s tempera-
ture, she reports, seldom rises above SS aegTeeS in July an4k
Sometimes drops to 48 degrees.
A vacationer isn't likely to run into heavy crowds in
Alaska. either, The population of about 3DO.000 is o* about
four-tenths of a person a square mile.
For mountain peak buffs, Mt. McKinley the tallest peak
on the North American continent is, also in Alaska
Travelers wandering -around the northern areas of the
continent can also drop in at Neva Scotia in Canada and see
the highest tides in the world.
For men who want to get away from ' the everyday life,
Mrs. Zaborskj mentions Mt. Athos- a free republic governed
by Greece, on the Chaicidice peninsula, it's populated only by
2,687 Greek Orthodox rnonks — and no women are pcirrmtted
there.
A Right to the southeast coast of Africa off the Indian
Ocean will take a vacationer to Mauritius. she says. It's a 791-
mile square island that's one of the newest of the. independent
African republics. There, travelers can meet a newly indepen-
dent people who are. emerging into an industrial world.
And then. she says, there's Mexico- Slany travelers would
like to W that dramatic, colorful land but want to avoid the
tourist el ic hes of Acapulco and Mexico nity.
In the southeast of Meyice there's the Yucatan peninsula,
now the Mexican state of Yucatan. It's off the Gulf of Mexico
and is not too long a flight From Miami.
Visitors will learn, if they want to, that only the most
expensive and North Americanized hotels provide really good
beds —roost Y uca tecarks sleep in hammocks.
A trip to a village markets will show a colorful display of'
bright handwoven hammocks. They're made by the Yucatecan
fishing folk who weave hammocks from the sarne hernp they
use for their fishing nets
The hand-carved fishing boats, painted in brilliant shades.
are similar to those portrayed on the walls of Mayan ruins

Education About. Alligators
NORTIf PALM BEACH - North Palm Reach chil-
dren are having fun this summer w1ule learning.
Last Thursday. as part of the Razzle Dazzle Reading
Circus at the North Palm Beach Village library, about 35
youngsters received real-five lesson about alligators,
Edwin Froelich, a Lake Park alligator farmer
talked to the children about alligators and brought along
a baby alligator.
All of the children found the experience satisfying,
as each had the chance to hold the baby 'gator.
"I wish I bad one for a pet," said one boy.
"It isn't that bad, '' one girl told her friend- "It's soft
and nice."
After seeing a film on Mligatorq. Froelich answered
the children ",_ questions.
"Alligators can live as long as 85,-90 years," Froelich
said. "They can get up to 10 feet in length."
Froelich, who is chairman of the Southeastern
United States Alligator Association, said alligators are
shy creatures.
"The alligators, which enter the communitios
through the canals can pose a. danger if the people feed
them,` Froelich said. ''After they are fed, the alligators
lose their fear of humans."
Froelich said he has been around alligators all of bis
fife. He considers himself one of the foremost experts on
alligators in the United States.
The past year, he has talked to various social and
civic groups throughout the state about the conservation
of the alligator.

IFT
And T Facility Gets $63,500 From State
By SHARI FiF;FtOFiO'k1
5ia41 W71ter _
NORTH PALM BEACH — Only three grants for
library construction were awarded by the state this
year. North Palm. Beach was the happy recipient of one
for $63.5W.
To Jackie Zaborski, village librarian„ the grant will
mean completion of the library.. something she has
awaited since 1969.
From the outside, the forth Palen Reach Library is
a beautiful, spacious building. Two sets of stairs lead to
the second floor past metal sculptures of pelicans amid
plantings of native Florida greenery. The second floor
houses 25,000 volumes, It also houses all the offices and
workrooms — in fact. the whole library, for'the first
fluor of the structure has never been i urnpleterd due to
lack of funds,
North Palm Beach will be adding 11033,400 to its
state grant in order to complete the library pro *t,
Where there are now bare concrete floors and
walls, lighted lnr naked light bulbs, there will soon be a
new children's Mlibrary- a technical processing depart-
ment, a conference room and a multipurpose room
with a rapacity- for 130 persons.
The second floor then will be renovated with a new
office for Mrs. Zaborski. two new typing rooms For pub-
lic use and conversion of the present children's section
to adult use.
''Right now we are below state standards in work
area available,'' said Mrs, Zaborski, "but we will be in'
compliance with the completion of the first floor.- site
added.
The library will be able to add another 10,0W wol-
umes to the children's library and 5,009 to the adult
section when the project is completed.
''We are also hoping to add more programs for the
public, "L Nirs. Zaborski said,
The library sponsors monthly senior citizen pro-
grams; book reviews and films.
Mfrs. Zaborskl said she is hoping to arrange an un-
usual reading Area for the children's section.
''Right now I am looking at animal- shaped lounge
chairs_ We will also have an exhibit area,.' she said.
Another feature, while not so different, but cer-
tainly utilitarian, is restroom facilities close to the chil-
dren's
section.
:Firs. Zaborslu said she is also asking for two addi-
tional employes. The library now employs six fulltime
and three part -time workers. Two teenagers also volun-
teer their time to help with desk work and shelving
books -
The village is now advertising for bids for the li-
brary construction - Bids will be awarded Aug. 12 with
construction to begin sometime in September, accord-
ing to Village Manager Paul Itiicoletti.

Youngsters Get 7'o Know
`Some Creepy Friends'
There were a lot of new experi-
ences for youngsters who attended
the conservation workshop series at
the North Palm Peach Library last
week. Among them was the oppor-
tunity to get a close logic at a snake
(above right) and even touch it if
you were brave enough. Kim Car-
ter, 9, (left), found out that even
lizards aren't such horrible mon-
sters, but their toes can be
scratchy when You try to hold
therm. Turtles, too, are interesting
creatures, but John Pol4ak„ 8,
(above, left) learned you have to be
careful while looking at thtern. Now
that the children have had the op-
portunity to learn about reptiles,
the importance of conserving there
has mere meaning. The wvorksbops
were sponsored by the Junior Wom-

NORTH PALM BEACH — Around

ing to be a new look at the city li-

several sections designed and
built last year in what had been
the building`s empty basement_
To paint the murals and graph-
ics on the walls of the new
roam, the hoard members chose
Joanne Evans, an art teacher
and mother of two daughters,
She had to present a series of
drawings and designs before be-
ing chosen to do the work.
Every step of the way, Mrs.
Evans had to submit her draw-
ings and only after the particu-
lar graphics and mural designs
were chosert could she begin
work.
The colors chosen for the art
were earth colors, orange, yel-
low and brown. The graphics
take up three of the walls in the
library and on the fourth a re-
movable center panel was add-
ed. On it will go one of four in-
terchangeable acrylic murals,
"Someone recommended Nirs,
Evans to us and I must say she
has done a wonderful job," ,airs.
Ziborski said, "The graphics are
just what we asked far, modem
abstract. They're beautiful.
