Some were biulding their skimpy webs on rafter ends and in the trellis-work by the back. door. They seem ed to be everywhere, and they were exactly what the nervous housewife thought they were-black widow spi ders. Those unfamiliar with the spider conjure up in their minds a terrible monster who lurks in some dark place ready to bite some unsuspect ing human. Few people are bitten by the black widow, but the bite is serious if it occurs, especially in' the event of a small child. Naturally, people became alarmed when there is an abundance of black widows. A full-grown black widow spider is about the size of a pea. On the underside of the abdomen of the female is an orange colored design' which slightly resembles an old-fashioned hour-glass. The male of the species is only about half as large as the female. He Put your money STOP spending SWAP 7 II Iff IL with the Ulir Take Care of Itself.

The female is the one that bites, the male never does. He hasn't the strength, the poison sacs, or the cour age. Seldom are these spiders very plentiful. Usually what few are present live in some dark, cool, underground crev ice. For this reason they are not frequently seen, or their presence even suspected by most people. Never does the female black widow build her web, crude and brief as it is, in the open as does her relative the gold en garden spider that con structs her complicated net between weed stems or from the corner of a building. In the neighborhood where a "black widow spider rash" has broken out, it is a pretty good indication that there has been a breakdown - some where along the line of Na ture's checks and balances.

The wasps, who spend all their lives in the open, were killed by the poison spray. Their numbers were reduced almost to the vanishing point. The same poison spray both ered the black widow spiders not at all; they were all un derground. Poison sprays are not se lective. They kill friend and foe alike. In many instances, and whether we admit it or not, we humans have many friends among the insects. Very often we have to pay rather dearly for what we think is a temporary benefit.

Medford MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Experimental Television Demonstrated at SOC Ashland An experimental closed circuit television dem onstration was conducted on the Southern Oregon college campus Wednesday afternoon. For the demonstration, the faculty and administrative of ficers of the college were di vided into five groups in an equal number of rooms. The same programs were then transmitted to each of the groups for observation and comment. Mrs. Jan Pruitt, supervisor of student teachers, and a group of her students from the Lincoln school made the first presentation. Following Mrs. Prultt's program, Dr. Clifford E. Miller, associate professor of social science ap peared as he presented a lec ture to one of his classes. Other Programs Other programs were pre sented by. Dr. Arthur Kreis man, chairman of the human ities division; Otto Wilda of the art department; by Dr. Herbert Cecil of the college music staff, and two members of the science-mathematics di vision; Dr. Elliott B. Mac Cracken and Wayne Hood. Discussion periods followed the last demonstration for each group, after which a general meeting was conduct ed in the Churchill hall audi torium. Reactions to the experi mental educational television programs were varied. Some maintained that the needed teacher-student rapport was almost entirely lacking; oth ers said that' the medium could achieve excellent teacher-class relationships. It was generally agreed that the use of television for instructional purposes would require that it be an .actual production effort, not merely any classroom presentation; that only the finest teachers would be effective in its use, and that certain subjects would lend themselves t J the techniques more readily than others. .

Also, that the medium, in common with any commercial type of pro duction, would require much attention to the employment of visual aids. In a special question-answer period, Ted Chrlstensen, representing the Walker Elec tronics company of Medford, explained the basic equipment used, the costs of installation, operation of the cameras and other items, and a number of the technical aspects concern ed. Chrlstensen was assisted by Bob Walker in setting up the demonstration. Faculty mem bers assisting with its direc tion included Dr. E. C. McGill. assistant to the president, and Larry E.

Main and Riverside Engineer Favors Suspension Design For Astoria Bridge Salem - IUPD - A man who helped design the new Inter state bridge at Portland, the Tacoma Narrows bridge in Washington and the Chesa peake Bay bridge in Mary land says the Astoria-Megler bridge over the Columbia river could be built for $8 million less. Oregon and Washington have approved a $24 million cantilever span and an agree ment between highway of ficials of the two states is in the offing. But Dexter R. Smith of Sa lem, retired bridge engineer, said $8 million, based on 1958 figures, could be lopped off costs of the Astoria-Megler span If the states went to a suspension-type bridge. Smith prepared-such an al ternate design in 1956 but it was rejected. Satd Cheaper Type Smith, as assistant professor of civil engineering at Oregon State university up to 1929, said the suspension - type is cheaper than cantilever de signed bridges because less Steel is used. Maintenance costs are less too, he said W. C. Williams, chief Ore gon highway engineer, said Smith's plan is "Just no good." "We went into it carefully at the time and other bridge engineers say no. Smith, who worked for the Oregon highway department after leaving OSU, retired Phone SP 2-6189 WEDNESDAY, MAY from the department In 1957. Rep. William Holmstrom, a main sponsor of the Astoria Megler span authorized in the current session, said Smith's proposal was "completely dis cussed" la 1959. The Gear hart Democrat said that be cause of strong winds at the mouth of the Columbia, a stronger cantilever bridge is preferable. Holmstrom said he would be "willing to have the bridge built for $8 million less if he (Smith) would up put a bond guaranteeing that the bridge will stand for 75 years." Theory Said Fallacy Smith, who also helped de sign the Yaquina and Coos Bay bridges on the Oregon coast, said the theory that suspension-type bridges are weak er than cantilever is "a fal lacy." Holmstrom said Smith's plan is experimental but Smith said it is "old as the hills." He declared that Holm- 3, 1961 A 7 strom and others have' been "brainwashed" by Oregon highway department officials. Smith said that from the standpoint of beauty, suspension-type is far superior, and such a bridge at Astoria would attract "many more tourists." "Look at the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco, which is suspension-type. It's beautiful," he said. "Then look at the Longview, Wash., bridge, which is cantilever, No one would go out of their way to see that," he said. Sunday, May 14 rCU MOTHER'S jp.v rx v 217 E. Main St. Medford outemb
