O o EIGHT MEDFOHD (OSSGOV) Is That So? Of all animals. insects alone have adapted themselves to evrrj climatic and topographical condition. You'll encounter them Qjlmost everywhere, crawling, creeping, and flying up to alti tudes exceeding 15.000 feet; from the north polar regions to the Antarctic on glaciers, in hot springs, in fresh and brackish waters, and even in caves where daylight never penetrates.

Clausen's fascinating book, Insect Fact and Folklore (Mac- millan, N.Y.) Here are some check off those which you have met before: The butterfly that brushes against thorns will tear its wings. The beetle is a thing of beauty in the eyes of its mother. Kneehigh to a grasshopper. The cockroach is always wrong when arguing with a chicken. About the common fly seem ingly most pestiferous but ex tremely important as a pollin ator there are many. Even a lion must defend himself against the flies. Flies are easier caught with honey than vinegar. Where there is honey, there will the flies swarm. No fly gets into a O shut mouth. A fly before his own eyes is bigger than an elephant in the next field.

Sen. Warren Gill of Lebanon said the, matter was experimen tal, but one purpose was to de termine if such a committee could not cut down on the num ber, of interim committees sub sequently needed. Sen. Monroe Sweetland of Milwaukie expressed apprehen sion that the resolution was too broad, giflng the committee the right to examine all things. Sen. Donald R. Husband of Eugene said he feared it would be a full time job for members of the committee. He said the scope was so wide he didn't think the committee would be able to do any good on anything But Sen. Walter J. Pearson of Portland pointed out that this would be merely an experimen tal move and if it was found unsatisfactory in any way, it could be abandoned at the next session of the Legislature.
