Black Widowi Everywhere
They were in the garage, in
the nearby trees, in the grass,
and under the eaves of the
house. 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

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. .

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

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-

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.
