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 mi).-e than 2.1]04 years ago.

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. Times Photos By Max Kaufmann §- s� ■ « rill iwIt w � FZ A i., .
