Watson did a super job of
setting up the hunt to run
smmothly. I'm not sure who
had the most fun - the kids
or their parents! (Or maybe
it was Layton Black, who
had a most unusual method
of hiding some of the 1500
eggs. I think his method is
called the ole Aggie dip and
sling!]

this matter.
FIRST, we citizens could
demand more strict law en-
forcement on the part of our
Sheriff and the courts;
SECOND, parents could
clamp down on their
children who drive our
streets illegally on scooters,
mo-peds, go-carts, or in
cars; and THIRD, we citi-
zens could join together to
construct a “track” where
at least the small motor
vehicles could be driven by
the children and at the
same time they could be
taught strict safety pro-
cedures.
It may be possible for all
of us who feel this concern -
including parents of the
children involved - to meet
together and work out some
common rules of behavior
and begin action on a track.
I would hope that it would
not need to be forced by the
issuing of tickets and
passing of sentences to
require parents to cooperate
for the lives of their own
children.
For our children,
