prtimately 230 acres have already
Dalzell said many houses are being
built en lots now and one family has
already moved into a heme. Other
homes have been sold and additional
residents should be moving in shortly.
Although individual builders are
designing and constructing the homes
Debvel! handled the sales on all
residential lots. "There is an ar-
chltectual control of the whole
development to provide an uniform
pleasing array of homes" be said.
Apache Homes Alamo Homes and
Diamond Construction are three of
more than twelve well-known builders
involved in the project
Dalzell said be thought the sub-
division was being built by some of the
finest builders in the region. Homes
range in price from approximately
$6Seeo to $109080 for homes on regular
size lots and between $150000 $280000
for special custom homes built on large
lots.
Dalzell Realtors will feature a special
Information booth for ACU visitors
during Homecoming weekend. Dalzell
said "We are going to try to offer some
kind of dlseeunt offers en lots for those

Zoo
Animals live
yMtCHCUEMUWHY
OfrtdnMSMf
Fantastically colored exotic birds
crocodiles and a variety of other
animals greet visitors when they enter
Nelson Park Zoo.
Covering approximately 53 acres the
Abilene Zoological Gardens house more
than 400 animals In an almost cage-free
facility that has won national and state
awards for Its low-profile garden
design.
People are probably quite surprised
at discovering a top quality zoo in a city
the size of Abilene. The zoo began on 13
acres in 1966 without theme or pattern.
It was simply a menagerie of exotic
animals carefully tucked away behind
bars.
Today however the impressive
collection of animals is Incorporated
with the newest innovative animal
display techniques Many of these are
now being adopted by zoos all over the
country
Upon entering the zoo a series of
open pits give the appearance of
planters at a city park but actually
they contain a variety of North
American mammals Including por-
cupines beavers and badgers.

The cry of sea gulls or the call of a
snowy owl draws visitors to watch
various types of birds in their natural
settings
Snakes frogs and lizards of many
species can be found in the her
petarium. From the most deadly snake
to the brightest green tree frog
children will delight in a close-up view
of these usually scarce cold-blooded
creatures.
American history is remembered as
visitors view the majestic buffalo in
their natural habitat. One finds himself
wondering how the Indians were able to
kill these giant beasts with mere bows
and arrows.
One favorite of visitors Is the giraffe
exhibit; Visitors can walk around the
exhibit or If they prefer to get a birds-
eye view of the long-necked animals
the exhibit features a walkway over the
giraffe pen where visitors can feed the
animals through the fence.
The antics of the California sea lions
animals usuaUy mistakenly called
seals by zoo visitors may be viewed
from the ground or from a special
platform built above the animals' pool.
