A Wednesday, Aug. 26, 1959 The Lowly Sea Nettle Plagues Eastern Coast If being a "living mess' is any criteria of progress; or if a slow, awkward, and very timid inching upward on the evolutionary ladder is an in dication of advancement, then the "sea nettle" has ac complished a great deal. This lowly marine creature, like the mundane sponge, is multicelled, but unlike the sponge, is able to move about, placing it just about a notch higher in the animal scale. The sea nettle has no skele ton, head, brain, or legs; yet it is a living, breathing, egg Jaying animal; probably best rescribed as a blob of trans lucent material - a "living mess." Peculiar that such a lowly creature could cause so much chagrin and potential danger Americans Urged To Be Courteous To Khrushchev Minneapolis, Minn. - IUPD -Vice President' Richard M. Nixon Tuesday urged the American people to give Sov iet Premier Nikita Krushchev a "courteous reception" when he visits the United . States next month. Nixon said courtesy to Khrushchev would not change his mind about the American system, but that courtesy is "the American way of doing things." Wishful Thinking "It would be naive and wishful thinking to assume that the visit of Mr. Kru shchev to the United States will result in any basic change in the Communist objective of world domination, or their adherence to policies de signed to achieve that goal," Nixon said. But he,saieP"while under standing alone will not bring peace, misunderstand ing could provoke war." "And it is because his visit can serve to reduce the possi bilities of such misunder standing that it could con tribute to the chance that we can settle our differences without war and, therefore, deserve the approval of the American people," Nixon said. Automobile Simulator Tests Bumps, Grinds Detroit - (Science Service) An automobile without wheels or engine is subjected to the bumps and the grinds of high way driving by a Ride Simu lator controlled by a giant analague computer. Designed by General Motors, the Simu lator subjects both driver and automobile to the stress and wear of driving. The analogue computer controls the Simu lator and analyzes the car's and the driver's reactions to the tests. The Ride Simulator is akin to the airplane flight simulators used in pilot train ing, GM reports. It is estimated that more than 3,000,000 children in the U.S. have some defect in their hearing. A majority of these same children have some eye sight problem. Glasses with hearing aids "invisibly" - at tached are now available for children. or prove to be such a general nuisance to the very highest form of life on this planet man himself; but such is the case. There are many places along the eastern seaboard of the U. S., where so many thousands of people normally bask and swim in the ocean's waters, that often have to be closed to human bathers be cause of the plentifulness of the lowly sea nettles. Apt Name Sea nettles came by their common name rather aptly, for this member of the jelly fish family is armed with thousands of tiny, stinging cells that can paralyze fish, and even careless swimmers who accidentally come in con tact with them. The sea nettle, of which there are many kinds, feeds on microscopic organism, and swims with a slow, pulsing undulation of the umbrella like body. When numerous, as is often the case during the summers when the water is warmer than usual, or when other climatic conditions are favorable, these semi-solid blobs of living flesh clog fishermen's nets and drive resorters away from the sea side. During years of heavy in festations many explanations are advanced to explain their numbers. One reason, seem ingly plausible, is that during seasons of scant rainfall, and the lowering of coastal wa ters, allowing the salt water to make the brackish vater more salty, the sea nettles be come bothersome because evidently they relish water with a high salt content. At these times, resort owners want something done, for peo ple can hardly swim, or en joy water clogged with these peculiar creatures. His Relation The sea nettle is closely re lated to the Portuguese-man-of-war that frequently plagues shores washed by tropical waters. This felow is one of the most dangerous of marine creatures. The stinging cells of this marine organism are very powerful; actually can paralyze a full grown man if the contact is complete. Peculiar, too, that the life history of the sea nettle is directly connected with the oyster industry. Biologists have established the fact that the sea nettles eat millions of organisms that normally prey on oysters. If the sea nettle were completely eliminated, who can say but what these little, one-celled animals on which the nettle feeds might increase in numbers to crip ple seriously the oyster rais industry. Sort of evolves down to a case of who is go ing to eat whomi Here's a biological merry - go - round where no one dares to get off.

The tubular valve has no stem-and-wheel branching up from it. Its pres sure capabilities - range up to 12,000 pounds per square inch and it can be remotely actu ated by electric, hydraulic or pneumatic controls. European Corn Borer Reduces Crop Yield Washington-(Science Serv-ice-The European corn borer ruined more than 100,000,000 bushels of U. S- corn in 1958, the U. S. Department of Ag riculture has reported here. Although this represented a loss of $98,000,000 and 2.9 per cent of the crop, it was only half of the 1957 loss. The borer cuts crop yield, lowers quality, increases production costs, and is expensive to keep in check, the USDA said. Special Plan Aids in Saving for College Days Many families have found they can save successfully for their child's college education with the aid of special savings plans offered by many banks and savings-and-loans associa tions. One such club promoted on a national basis, is known as the College Club. Developed by the National College Club Program, Inc., it is in use at more than 300 financial insti tutions in thirty states. The principle is the same as for Christmas Clubs regular deposits for a specific goal! However, there are major dif ferences. One, College Club accounts earn interest, while Christmas accounts rarely do. Two a college account usually is a long-term one. Parents should be careful in encouraging their children to do well in school. The child who cannot live up to expec tations may develop a feeling of inferiority or may cheat. The Liberty Bell's famous crack occurred on July 8, 1835, while it was tolling for the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. The plan works this way: You decide how much money you will need to pay for your child's education when he or she is ready for college. If the amount is, for example, $3,000, and you have ten years to save it, you deposit $25 monthly in the account. If you stick to the plan andTet in terest accumulate, you will more than meet your goal. Membership doesn't obli gate you in any way. There are no fees, service charges, or a required regular or mini mum deposit. Also you can withdraw money or close the account at any tme Interesting Part Probably one of the most in teresting parts of the plan is that the child is made to feel a part of it. The account can be a joint one, to which he is encouraged to contribute money he earns. . Petticoats for young misses, begin to puff higher this fall, either from a wide elasticized waistband or from a shortened yoke. Bands near the hemline help the softness of the fab rics to create a full but not stiff line under young dresses. On "joining, the child re ceives a membership card and a club emblem button (a mor tarboard over a diploma), a long-playing record of dance songs ("Lester Lanin Goes to College") and an account pass book with a club sticker on it. Twice a year the club dis tributes a four-page national bulletin containing a summary of recent developments in col lege costs, job opportunities for students, scholarships and student loans. Club member ships also makes depositors eligible for cash prizes in a twice-a-year slogan contest.
