By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Spiders are widely misunder stood, much as snakes are. To many, the very word "spider" brings to mind a horrendous in sect, sitting in the middle of a web, ready to pounce out and bite them. This picture is wrong in almost every detail. In the first place, a spider is not an insect: it has eight legs; and insect has only six. Another major distinction, it has only two major body divisions the head and thorax are merged in to one unit, beside the abdomen while the insect has three. And still another distinction, the spider unlike the insect has no antennae. Furthermore, spiders pounce only on something they want to eat, that is, flies and such in sects; they do not feed on hum ans as do the more dangerous but less feared fleas and female mosquitoes. Of course, if you frighten or hurt a spider, it will bite you if it can but the skin on a man's hand is usually much tob tough for a spider to pierce, but it can get through in softer areas, and when a large spider finds itself squeezed between you and your clothes, it may try to rink its fang. True, nearly all spiders have fangs and poison glands not just the commonly feared tar antula and black widow spider. In some, the venom is more po tent than in others. And strange to say, some of the medium and small-sized spiders are more venomous than some of the larger ones. In general, spiders use their fangs and poison only to quiet their prey so they can eat it. And since their prey in cludes many of the insects which are 1 pest to man, it is more realistic to consider spiders our allies than our enemies. To go on. Not nearly all spid ers spin webs. Although all can produce silken strands, com paratively few spin the com plicated and beautiful orb webs. But each species does spin its own characteristic silk - lined nest. Spiders get around. They in habit all land areas, large or small, from the tropics to the polar regions. From jungle swamps to arid deserts; from plains to mountain tops even to the very limits of perpetual snow, there they will be found. A few, in fact, live in the water. How have they managed to get so widespread without wings? They have done the next-best thing: they balloon. The spider lings climb to the top of a blade of grass, and let out a fine thread. A breeze wafts it aloft, and off goes the spider. When he wants to come down he simply begins to nibble on his balloon. Of the 30.000 species more than 2.000 of which are in the U.S. the largest is found in the Guianas of South America. It attains a body length of ZVz inches. The smallest in the world, in contrast, are only 130 of an inch in length when adult the Orchestina and the Cepheia longiseta. A jumping spider one of the world's commonest which jumps backwards, forwards or side ways as it hunts has been found living at an elevation of 22,000 feet on Mt. Everest making it, perhaps, the highest permanent inhabitant of the earth. Spiders also live deep down in caves.

Atlantic Vessels irlinq South To Avoid Icebergs New York -JW Ships sailing the North Atlantic are skirting south this summer to avoid one of the worst recorded armadas of "killer" icebergs and huge hidden chunks of ice called "growlers." One veteran captain said the situation is worse than it was in 1912 the year the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. The International Ice Patrol, which normally stops operations by July 1, still is going full blast. Its planes and ships are charting, tracking and reporting icebergs and growlers by the hundreds. The growlers are par ticularly dangerous because they are almost totally submerged and extremely difficult to spot. Number Exceeds 460 Coast Guard headquarters in Washington said the number of icebergs crossing 48 degrees north latitude the point from which they can be expected to enter the shipping lanes al ready exceeds 460, the highest yearly total since 1950. Only 80 were reported last year. Headquarters spokesmen said that they expected this year's total would challenge the 1929 record of 1,351. In addition, they said, there are growlers by the hundreds among the icebergs. A Coast Guard officer at the Boston, Mass., headquarters for the patrol said the patrol boat Acushnet is tracking the south ernmost iceberg. What is old age for fish? Two to three years to grow up and four to five year's exposure to angling is typical. Few live long er than that. Friday, July 12, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THEE Vacationers Warned To Use Caution In Presence of Rhus Toxicodendron BY DOC QIUGG United Press Correspondent New York HP Brothers and sisters, hear me now. So you're going on a vacation? All right, go, but listen to the voice of sad experience. Namely, mine. Take rod and reel, if you will. Take tent and mosquito net and whatever implements you judge will help you tame the great out doors, but take also this caution in the presence of rhus toxi codendron. Lack of caution will get you District Landowners To Be Contacted in IV ' Cave Junction At an execu tive board meeting of the Illi nois Valley Water Resources group Monday evening plans were made to contact most of the landowners in the proposed Sucker Creek Irrigation district. Not only does the board want a cross section of viewpoints on the dam proposal, but money for the district election must be raised from contributions. It was recently voted by the group to petition the county court for an election as soon as money becomes available and a legal description of the land is completed. Some $2,000 is need ed, and will be sought through contributions of interested resi dents of the valley. A total of 1.200 landowners is included in the district which will be served if the Sucker creek dam is built by the bu reau of reclamation. , the bleariest mess of bilious ex terior this side of the horrors of hades. That is, unless you're a newborn babe and according to some medicos, resistant to the ravages of Rhus T. which is the scientific name of poison ivy. Better Beware Everybody else had better be ware. You may think you're im mune. That's what I thought all my life, up until last month. Brother . . . what a total disillu sionment. I say total because during my bout with poison ivy the poison reached a totality of spread over my beautiful pink body. Immobility set in. For two weeks, I was a mottle of itchy decorum. While thus pinned down, you have plenty of time to think. When you have poison ivy, you think about only one thing yow own itching. Well, what kind of sensation is it? Widespread poison ivy is an army of angry ants goosestep ping across your skin to a rock 'n' roll beat. It feels the way burning leaves sound. It is a terrible thirst that slakes itself in Tabasco. It is a myriad of tiny explosions like popcorn endless lv popping. No Scratching Allowed It is the supreme example of the kind of sensation that sets afire the desire to scratch. But with poison ivy you're not sup posed to scratch. Mustn't touch. Scowl and bear it. That brings us to the c omplex of the large itch" that isn't scratched. When a massive, total itch is denied the historic remedy of the scratch, it gets moody and turns inward on it self. Ten thousand demons are set loose at skin level. Panic grows. You get the cold sweats in re verse. Crawling chills and under skin shivering rattle your frame. Just thought you'd like to know how it feels. Had a wond erful time on vacation. Wished you were there instead of me. WATER REGULATIONS MEDFORD WATER COMMISSION WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT Now that the summer months are here, we art asking you to be conscious of the water you use, particularly on hot- diys and dur ing dry periods, and to avoid unnecessary wastage of one of our community's most valuable assets. For better utilization of the public water supply and assurance of ample quantities of water at proper pressures for domestic, com mercial and fire fighting needs, the regulations governing the uso of water are as follows: WHEN THE FIRE SIREN SOUNDS, a neighbor is in distress and you can help him. Turn off your lawn sprinklers and ether non essential water uses during the emergency. OPEN HOSES ARE NOT ALLOWED. An open hose robs pressure from your other sprinklers and from your neighbors' houses. WASTE OF WATER IS PROHIBITED. You can stop waste and save) money by being careful not to allow water to run to waste down sidewalks, streets or gutters as a result of sprinkling lawns, gardens or parking strips and by repairing alt plumbing leaks and closing faucets when they are not actually being used. Wasted water costs just as much to deliver as water that is put to use. SPRINKLING STREETS. The use of water through a hose for sprinkling streets is forbidden under all circumstances: In addition to the above regulations, the following hints may bo helpful in your use of water: WHEN SPRINKLING YOUR LAWN, get the most for your money use water wisely. Experts say that it is better to soak an estab lished dawn to a depth of several inches once or twice a week than to give your grass a light sprinkling daily. They also suggest watering only in the cool hours of the day. As the heaviest demand on the water system comes in the late afternoon and evening, it is suggested that you sprinkle in the early morning. WATER FOR AIR CONDITIONERS of the evaporative type, should be carefully controlled. Maximum efficiency from an evaporative type air conditioner is obtained when the entire area of the pads is kept damp. Any water allowed to run off from the conditioner is wasted. - - USE WATER WISELY. t 1 mktn, . . - 14 V . 1 t , I . ..j 'I y-N. j&t zz,i fei Lei i v i r IwUH v .J 4 'l ....... .. ... . .
