Roving Hermit Crab
Enjoys Companionship
The hermit crab many cen
turies ago solved the housing
problem.
When a personal whim or
an aggravated appetite dic
tates a change of location, he
vacates the familiar home and
migrates to richer pastures or
warmer waters. His portable
home provides protection
wherever his roaming instinct
leads him.
As he eats he grows, so
more commodious quarters
are frequently necessary. He
then searches for and easily
finds, a larger shell and when
no enemies are near, quickly
transfers himself to his new
home.
He occupies only univalve
shells, often selects one which
possesses some color. He has
been known to utilize other
objects that appeal to him,
such as an empty pipe bowl
or even a small glass bottle.
Hundred Species
There are upwards of a
hundred species of hermit
crabs. One species spends
much of its time in trees that
grow near the seashore. Oth
ers inhabit the medium depths
of the sea; still others live on
dry land.
The eggs of the hermit crab
are coral-colored and about as
large as mustard seeds. They
hatch in the spring and are
then known as "zoae," or free
swimming. Other periods of
the development take place
before the little creature hunts
up a shell into which he can
crawl to protect his soft body.
He has a pugnacious nature,
often fighting other hermit
crabs for a shell that may look
better to him than the one he
is occupying. By sticking his
forelegs out of the shell he
can move with great rapidity.
His first pair of legs he uses
mainly for securing food or
for fighting. If he is frighten
ed he withdraws into the
shell, closing the opening with
his forelegs. '
Sensitivity
Even when withdrawn,
deep in his limestone castle,
he is very sensitive to outside
stimuli, such as water pres
sure, touch, light and vibra
tion. He acts as a scavenger
and serves as a means of dis
tribution for other forms of
life that may attach them
selves to the shell. Often the
shell he is occupying becomes
so thickly encrusted with bar
nacles, oysters and marine
growth that the added weight
must be exceedingly irksome.
However, he philosophical
ly trudges on until the sense
less weight becomes so great
that his home becomes im
movable. Then he abandons
his shell, takes up in a. differ
ent shell and leaves all the
hitch-hikers stranded.
The human hermit lives a
lonely life in familiar sur
roundings. Not so the hermit
crab. He enjoys the compan
ionship of others of his kind
and changes his terrain only as
the supply of food or the wa
ter temperature necessitates.
He lives the carefree life of a
gypsy, moving happily from
place to place, carrying his
home on his back. As he trav
els he feeds abundantly "off
the land," at the edge of the
sea. His is an easy existence,
actuated only by his personal
preference for new horizons.

LOUISVILLE. KY.-86 PROOF W
Tina J. - I would be miser
able without Pat.
Mrs. L. J. - They are no
good for each other.
Tina J. -1 am 14 and I have
been going steady with a boy
of my own age for the past
year. Don't tell me to stop
going steady because I would
be miserable without Pat.
The only problem is that I
am so jealous. I may have
gotten this way because my
father and mother were di
vorced two years ago. My
father fell in love with anoth
er woman. I keep thinking
what would happen if Pat
started to like somebody else.
My mother thinks that Pat
and I should break up. We
know we are too young, but
we are realljn and truly in
love. But every time I see
Pat talking to another girl I
get so frightened. I am also
afraid that he won't want me
any more if I keep bothering
him about this.
Mrs. L. J. - I feel that this
friendship has gone much too
far already. It's fine for 14-
year-olds to go out and have
fun together, but when they
start talking love I get scared
to death.
Now that Tina's father is
no longer with us and the en
tire burden is on me, I am
constantly worried about her.
When she is away I wonder
what she is up to. When she
is home I yell at her because
I am so nervous.
I think it's terrible that Pat
makes Tina jealous all the
time. He knows the way she
feels and sometimes I think
he does it to get her goat.
Anyway, they shouldn't be to
gether so much. .They are no
good for each other. But Tina
cries and screams like murder
if I even hint they should
split up.
The Council: Mrs. L. J. must
consider that both she and her
daughter are suffering from
extreme shock because of the
break-up of this home. Since
Tina is still only a child, Mrs.
L. J. must assume the respon
sibility of pulling herself to
gether in order to help her
daughter.
Mrs. L. J. s terror at find
ing herself alone is reflected
in her daughter's attitude.
Tina has grabbed a youngster
of her own age whom she
clutches with the panic-given
strength of a drowning person.
Mrs. L. J. must decide deep
inside herself that she has
nothing really to fear but fear
itself. She is competent to
manage her family if she
keeps a cool head. She must
also find ways of expanding
her own life so that she'll get
some pleasure out of living.
This will lessen her nervous
ness and will help her daugh
ter realize that a woman need
not be lost and hopeless with
out a man. She must use her
independent resources.
Tina is now at such a peak
of hysteria that we think
harping on a breakup with
her boy friend can only make
matters worse. Mrs. L. J.
should, instead, try to get Tina
to broaden her activities the
kind of activities that throw
her in contact with other boys
and girls. She should also en
courage her to develop her
abilities and set a goal for
herself. If Tina develops an
aptitude for something, she
will gain self-confidence and
begin to feel that she can like
and be liked by other boys.
Mrs. L. J. should, under no
circumstances, offer Tina com
fort in her jealousy. This will
only help the child develop
an angry grievance against
men - which will be of no
help to her now or in the
future.

Throng Welcomes
Billy Graham
Salisbury, Rhodesia - (DPB -Three
hundred, persons
thronged the balcony at the
airport and sang hymns to
welcome American evangelist
Billy Graham to Salisbury
Monday night. He arrived
from Brazzaville.
He is to spend three days
resting at Livingston before
flying to Bulawayo to address
the first meeting in the Cen
tral African Federation as part
of his "Africa crusade."
Graham said in an airport
press conference that the
color bar was not an over
riding reason for leaving
South Africa out of his Afri
can tour.
"I want very much to visit
South Africa and I intend to
go in a couple of years," he
said.
FIRST HUSBAND ALIVE -
Mrs. Gordon Sherman said
she is "a little churned up"
after learning that her first
husband is alive and teach
ing school in Korea. John B.
King sent his wife and fam

Tokyo 21 years ago because
of mounting war tension.
Both Mrs. Sherman, who now
lives in Keystone Heights,

Industrialist
Raps Teachers
Atlantic City, N.J. - (UPI)
A prominent industrial i s t
stood up before 20,000 edu
cators Monday and told them
bluntly that:
1-School teachers are bet
ter paid than they seem to
think;
2-Teachers themselves must
shoulder "at least some of the
blame" for any loss of pres
tige which their profession has
suffered.
The industrialist was George
Romney, president of Ameri
can Motors Corp. His forum
was the annual convention of
the American Association of
School Administrators.
He said that in his home
town of Detroit and many
other areas, the starting salar
ies of teachers are now "fully
comparable with the begin
ning wage rates in most industry."
Earlier, Rep. Lee Metcalf
(D-Mont.), coauthor of the
Murray-Metcalf bill for fed
eral aid to education, charged
that the federal government
was "shirking its responsi
bilities" in education and
thereby piling an unfair tax
burden on homeowners and
others who pay local property
taxes.
