o o MEDFORDJiaiTRIBUNE SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1960 PAGES 1-10 F Worlds A round By Lynn M. Watkins Millions of Mayflies Live Only to Die Sometime during the warm summer night in the waters of the lake, nature must have pulled the "big" lever, and hundreds of millions of may flies were ready to take to the air. A gentle breeze car ries the teeming multitude shoreward. Other millions fall back into the water and die. This happens every year on most lakes and rivers when the countless nymphs of the may fly suddenly complete their next-to-last molt, and forsake the water, where they have lived for many months, to become winged insects with the ability of flight. Those that escape death in the water fly shoreward, as do those that have laid their eggs. Millions die in the streets wherever there is a street light. Sometimes their numbers in the streets be come so great the pavement becomes so slippery from the crushed bodies as to impede motor traffic. Description Individually, the mayfly looks something like an over grown mosquito. The wings are transparent with many conspicuous veins. When the insect is at rest, the wings are held over the body in a vertical position. The body is soft and shiny. Two or three long, very conspicuous filaments are attached to the rear of the body; these stream out behind when the insect is in flight, making the creature appear as if it were trailing two or three ravclings. The female mayfly drops her eggs while flying over water. The eggs are contained in tiny cases that usually break on contact with water, liberating the eggs that im mediately sink to the bottom. After hatching, the tiny lar vae secrete themselves un der stones or other debris. Now they are called nymphs. Live in Mud , At this stage they have gills alongside their bodies. For months they live in the mud of the lake or river bottom eating vegetable matter. Game fish feed on them, but there are always enough. The time comes when they crawl up out of the water. The skin along the back splits and the near-adult crawls forth. Un counted millions are hatching from their shells at the same time. Their flight through the summer night is very brief; all they know is to fly, to attempt to lay more eggs be fore they die. The dance of the mayflies becomes a mass movement. Millions and mil lions will die, but if a single pair survive it is enough. The secret remains; why is nature so abundant in her production? Why all the prep aration of development in the waters of the lake for many months to create a winged in sect that will live but a few hours? But in their senseless dying, once again, enough eggs are deposited to assure other swarms, another sea- son. In the seemingly sense less and extravagant produc tion of mayflies there must be a reason.

Morse To Pass Up Convention for Sake of Party Unity LA; tfMfe n 0 t to ' lj 'j bar rasj , Oregon 1 gation" i By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - Sen. Wayne Morse is planning to pass up the Democratic na- f "onal conven- Jk' Of Hon at Los ivngeics so as not to "em- rass the dele- which 1 is committed to Sen. John Kennedy. Before h i s Kbt. smit defeat at Ken nedy's hands in the Oregon primary, the Oregon senator had planned to attend the convention, hopefully with a block of delegates supporting his own presidential aspira tions. He expected to attend as an alternate, chosen by the elected delegates. "The Morse family will view the Democratic con vention from the television screen in our home in Eu gene," explained Morse. "We may have a family reunion, and we expect to have a love ly time." Morse's decision to stay away from the Los Angeles convention removes the likli hood of any fireworks some Kennedy supporters feared he might have set off had he been on the scene as an alter nate. Under the Oregon pri mary law, the state's delega tion is bound to Kennedy so long as he has 35 per cent of the total number of delegates attending the convention. To Head Delegation Rep. Edith Green, formerly Morse's staunch ally in poli tical battles of the past until she became Kennedy's cam paign chairman in Oregon, will likely head the Oregon delegation to the convention for having led the ticket with the highest number of votes for delegates. . Morse said of his position: I wouldn't embarrass the Oregon delegation at the con vention by attending." "That s the way, he added at length, "to build party unity." Morse is talking now like a man who may turn his back on the upcoming political campaign. If anyone wants him to campaign for them, they will have to request it, he says. He has made his standing offer to the Demo cratic National Committee to go on speechmaking tours, as he has in other election years. He may, instead, go to South America. Last fall he and Mrs. Morse visited a num ber of Latin countries to study problems affecting US-Latin relations. As the election cam paign comes on, if his cam paign services aren't being sought, Morse says he will re sume his tour of South Ameri ca. As of now.. It is evident he has no plans to campaign for Mrs. Maurine Neuborger in her Senate campaign this fall - nor does Mrs. Nei hcrgcr have any plan to enlist his support. Morse was invited to at tend a "Washington Good Luck to Maurine Luncheon" here Wednesday, but he turn ed it down. Mrs. Neuberger flew in from Oregon for the function, sponsored by prom inent Democrats led by Osc; Chapman, Truman's Interior Secretary "I've got a campaign deficit to make up," explained Morse with a smile when asked whether he had bought any of the $25 per plate tickets that are going to help raise funds for her campaign Trampoline Class For Ladies at YMCA YMCA Physical Director Dave Curzon has announced that the Y will have a wom en's trampoline class on Tues days from 7 to 8 p.m. The class will start June 14 if enough women and high school girls attend.
