Is That So?
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.

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.

That's why so many women today are helping their husbands get started

wants to save, but modern women face the fact that lew people can do k
on a hit or miss basis. The secret of saving is system, and one of die
easiest systems to follow is for the family breadwinner to buy Bond
through the Payroll Savings Plan. Once a wage earner signs np for this
plan where he works, his money is automatically saved for him in safe
and sure U.S. Savings Bonds.
Help war family win financial security by encouraging your husband to
join the Payroll Savings Plan or invest in Bonds regularly where he
banks. He'll thank yoa for it tomorrow!
