Queens Visit
Bastrop County
if you were one of many
Bastrop County people who saw
a large brown wasp like in-
sect with wings swarming, con-
gregating arwind lights or bur-
rowing into the ground, you will
be glad to learn that they are
the queen of the town ant, also
known as Texas leaf cutting
ant with little need to control
them as they pose no problem
to man or vegetation and queen
survival is poor, reports County
Agent lid Migura.
As in bees, the queen is the
mother of the entire colony.
They are harmless and few
survive. During the month of
April after a rain is usually
when they swarm, Migura said.

Noah's Ark Is
Attraetion At
Sea-Arama
GALVESTON — Noah s Ark
was launched recently at Galves-
ton's Sea-Arama Marineworld.
The ark, measuring 57' long and
27' wide, weighs approximately
10,000 lbs. or 20 tons. Even
though it was overcast for the
launching, the rains did not bo-
gin.
The Galveston marine attrac-
tion launched the ark into the
park's existing ski lake. The ark
will be used as the stage area
for a new show at Sea-Arama
ailed Noah's Ark featuring Fat
Albert, the Elephant Seal, and
a score of other animals.
A spoof on the biblical story,
the theme of the show will re-
solve around the trainer playing
Noah and Fat Albert as his help-
< r The only problem is that
"Fats" has a problem in organiz-
ing all of the animals.
"We feel this will be one of
our best shows after we get it
rolling," said Ed Moore, execu-
tive vice president and general
manager of Sea-Arama.
The training for this show has
already begun; and it is a
mamo'ith task because it involves
the trnlning of some 15 different
animals, ranging from Fat Al-
bert, the Elephant, to other seals,
donkeys, birds and other assorted
animals one might find on Noah's
Ark.
It took one giant crane and a
crew of 6 men to launch Sea-
Arama's ark.
According to the Bible, the
original ark was 300 cubits long,
50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high.
A cubit is approximately 18":
therefore, the original ark was
450' long, 75' wide and 45' high.
You might call Sea-Arama Ma-
rineworld's ark a mini-ark, but
officials at the Galveston attrac-
tion do not forecast any rains or
a world-wide flood.
The new show is scheduled to
begin June 1, 1971.

Not Change Firearms Law
"The proposed revised penal
code now being studied by the

ing of Austin has issued this
statement in response to a flood

Herring is a member of the
joint Senate - House committee
which held a public hearing on
the code |aM month at which

strike out a section that prohi-
bited possession of a loaded nun

"Evidently the National Rifle
Association has la-en distributing
information to the effect that
this proposed code revision sev-
erely restricts the present gun
law," said Herring. "Obviously
the NRA has not yet been made
aware that the loaded nun sec-
tion has Ih i n deleted "
Herring said he has received
doz< lis ol letters and numerous
phone calls every day on the
nun section "The section has
been removed The code will
have no effect whatsoever on
the present firearm laws"
