lecturer's hour presented a
tableaux showing the lesson
given in the first degree of
the Grange, the topic, being
Faith." The tableaux showed
the sowers scattering the seed

Seed," and the character rep

ers to put on better programs
and is also open to all those
interested in the work. Gold
Hill is sending their-lecturer
this year, as they have been
doing for a number of years,
Henrickson, in his talk,
stressed the importance "-' of
community service, and some
of the many ways in which
the Grange can be of service
in the community. .There is
not only a reward in the way
of satisfaction, but a remun
eration in actual cash - if re
ports are properly written up
and' sent in to headquarters.
The Sears Roebuck founda
tion is back of the Grange in
this enterprise.
As one of the first projects
of service this year, the HEC
women served dinner Jan. 14
to the Southern Oregon Farm
Tanks, Inc.,.a group
which they have served for
a number of years. '; '
The "next meeting, Feb. 5,
will be given over to com
memoration of the Oregon
Centennial.

Caroline S. My husband
and -1 are parents of three
children ranging from 8 to 15
years old. We have been hav
ing a lot of disputees recently
about their upbringing.
We were always very easy
going" with them and I guess
we spoiled them a bit. The
oldest boy, particularly, is
getting to be hard to handle.
He has been fresh and dis
obedient and isn't doing too
well in school.
My husband has taken to
hitting him and Johnny re
sents it very much. I'm afraid
that any day now. he's going
to hit back. My husband also
tore up Johnny's picture of
one of his favorite baseball
heroes and now Johnny goes
around saying he'll get re
venge somehow or other. I
do feel that we must be more
strict, but I think these pun
ishments are making Johnny
worse.

Jonathan S. It is not the
punishments that are making
Johnny worse, but the lack of
punishments in the pas t
Johnny goes to school with
some very rough kids and I'm
afraid he'll become a regular
juvenile delinquent if we
don't do something-fast.
I am also worried about
the younger kids. They fol
low Johnny in everything-
even the girl. With that as an
example and with all of these
bad influences in the school
and neighborhood, I don't
know what will . become of
them. -
J Caroline seems to think you
can get s6mewhere with kids
by scolding and nagging, but
it certainly doesn't seem to
be working out with our brats.
I do feel that it might be
enough if they weren't ex
posed to so many bad influ
ences outside our home. Ex
treme situations call for ex
treme remedies.
The Council: Jonathan's
alarm over the future of his
children is understandable,
but it should be obvious to
him that his methods aren't
working.
The question of punishment
is a relatively small part of
child rearing. Some parents
manage to exert a great deal
of authority over their chil
dren with a minimum of pun
ishment and others, who pun-

ish freely, may easily lose
control over the children.
What punishments to give,
how often and under what
circumstances must be deter
mined by common sense and
observation of the child. Meth
ods that are effective . with
one child may be useless with
another.
In general, we would say
that punishments that cause
a child humiliation or deep
hurt to his feelings are out of
order. A boy of 15, who has
been "spoiled a bit" and who
is suddenly hit by his father,
is bound to resent it and to
develop hostile feeling to
ward his attacker. Even worse
is the destruction c ' the boy's
personal property-a picture
of a hero at that. Such pun
ishments hurt without teach
ing anything but violence.
Children's heroes are precious
and represent their highest
aspirations. Why should a fa
ther attack what represents
the good to his child.
It - seems to us that both
these parents have become
frightened by the realization
that they do not represent au
thority to their children. It is
a frightening situation, but. it
cannot be remedied over
night. They will have to build
up their stature in their chil
dren's eyes by proving that
they can be kindly and under
standing even while they are
firm.

Hermit Crab Carries
His Home With Him
There's a crab that lives in
a shell in the sea who has
satisfactorily solved the hous
ing problem. For obvious rea
sons, because he lives alone,
he is called the hermit crab.
. This little guy was prob
ably the first migratory work
er who traveled afar and car
ried his home along with him.
When a personal whim or an
aggravated appetite dictates
a change of location, he va
cates the familiar "home" and
migrates to richer pastures or
warmer- waters. His portable
home provides protection
wherever his roaming desires
lead him.
As -he eats he grows, so
more commodious quarters
frequently become necessary.
He then searches for and usu
ally finds a larger shell and
quickly transfers his soft body
to his new home.
The hermit crab occupies
only univalve shells, and often
selects one which posses some
color. He has been known to
utilize other objects that catch
his . fancy, seven a; discarded
pipe bowl or a small glass
bottle.
A Hundred Species
There are over a hundred
species of hermit crabs, dis
tributed pretty generally. One
variety spends much of its
time "up a tree," especially
a palm tree growing close to
the "water's edge. Others in
habit the medium depths of
the sea, and still others live
on dry land. The eggs laid
by the hermit crab are usu
ally coral-colored, and some
are about the size of mustard
seeds. They hatch early in the
spring. j
The young are called
"coae," or "free swimming,
followed by the gloucothoe"
stage, a period that lasts but
a few days. The shell-occupying
period follows, and the
little crab hunts a spiral shell
of some dead molusk in wh'.ch
to live!
The hermit crab has a pug
nacious nature, often fighting
another crab for a shell if
it happens to look better than
the one he is occupying. The
hermit crabs move with great
rapidity. The second and third
pair of legs serve as locomo
tive equipment. The first pair
of legs are used in gathering
food and for fighting. The
shell opening is covered by
the claws when the animal is
frightened.
Sensitive
Even when withdrawn, and
deep in his limestone castle,
the crab is sensitive to out
side stimuli such as -water
pressure, touch, light and vi
bration. These crabs act as
