Q—Where do most Colony residents
read local news regularly?

Current estimates indi-
cate that at least 23 mil-
lion Americans are func-
tionally illiterate. They
lack the reading, writing
and comprehension skills
necessary to learn new job
skills and make progress
in their lives.
America's third most pop-
ular hobby—after coin col-
lecting and photography—
is tropical fish.
The amoeba is considered
the lowest form of animal
life.

HEARING BUT NOT LISTENING!
John Steinbeck wrote an interesting novel entitled
East of Eden." One of the characters is Lizzie
Hamilton, a very religious woman. She read the Bible
because of its poetry and historical lessons. She learned
about people, morals, and salvation but never let the
Scriptures come alive in her life.
She never studied the Bible or imspected it: she just
read it. . . And finally she came to the point where she
uneyit sowell that she wen t right on reading it without
There are many Lizzie Hamiltons in our day. They
value the Bible but pay little attention to it. They search
the pages only to find evidence for their opinions We

approached in reverence!

Local Realtors held a
luncheon and conducted
tours of the city Nov.
5 for Denton, Collin and
Dallas County Realtors
in an effort to better
aquaint area agents with
the marketability of the
Colony.
Over 100 real estate
agents spent the day in
the Colony as part of the
city’s first Realtors Day,
designated as such by the
city council in 1986. Invi-
tations were sent to agents
in seven area cities. They,
along with representa-
tives from each local Real
Estate Companies, were
treated to lunch in the
city’s new Recreation Cen-
ter on North Colony Boule-
vard.
Hosting the Day were
Linda Story and Ann Kel-
ley of Ebby Halliday Re-
altors and Vivian Bedell
of Classic Realtors, all
of the Colony. “We were
so excited,” said Story.
“The turnout was great.
Our purpose was to edu-
cate or update other Re-
altors as to how much
the Colony has grown and
on how much there is to
offer; new city facitlites,
new schools, new retail
and restaurants. We be-
lieve we did just that.”
They arranged for six
area title and mortgage
companies to sponsor the
luncheon. These sponsors,
from Dallas Title Com-
pany of Carrollton, Hin-
ton Mortgage Co. of
Lewisville, Lawyers Ti-
tle of Lewisville, Safeco
Title of Carrollton,
Shawmut First Mortgage
of Carrollton and Troy
and Nichols, Inc. of Dal-
las, also attended.
Following the lunch
Councilman Marlene Poole
and City Manager Bill
Hall led groups in tours
of the new city facilities
