Clara W. - He makes ev
eryone go to sleep when he
gets sleepy himself.
Arnold W. - It's for their
own good. They need the rest.
Clara W. - For the past five
years it's been pure blazes in
our home because Arnie is
such a bug about bedtime.
It was all right when the
children were small, but now
they're 20 and 17-year-old
girls, and our son is 13. Right
into their teens, the daugh
ters were expected to retire
when their dad said so, usu
ally at 10 o'clock. He's in
bed himself at 9:30 every
night, holidays and week
ends included. Our eldest got
away from it all by marrying
at 18. Luckily she loves her
husband and it's a good mar
riage. But the bickering with the
other children goes on and I
don't blame them. All would
be peaceful if we obeyed him.
But I enjoy staying up late,
when all is quiet. Most of the
time I give in to him to end
the racket he makes.
Arnold W. - My father nev-
erer Had a sick day in nis
life, when he did It was from
an accident. And he attrib
uted his good health to his
early-to-h.;d life, and brought
us up the same way.
I know the human body
needs at least eight hours of
sleep a night. My wife and
children, however, are so scat
terbrained they'd sit around
most of the night if I didn't
hustle them all off to bed at
sensible hour. This way,
even though they kick, they
keep well and get to their
classes and work on time.
Oh, I stretch the rules at
times, even though I can
hardly keep my eyes open.
When we have company 10:45
is okay. And on week ends,
the daughter has until u:ju,
and 12 the latest, to be out.
The Council - Those who
last night lost track of the
time and didn't succumb to
drowsiness until the first
early rays of a new day told
them It had been an awfully
short night; those may envy
Clara a "monitor" who sees
that she and evcrone else in
the family get to bed early.
But others who have solved
their own sleep problems will
pity her for not being per
mitted to burn her candle
more freclv. even at bolh
ends once in a while, if she'd
like.
This is more than a sleep
issue, however. We might be
able to wrap up a neat an
swer for Arnold by remind
ing him that sleep needs dif
fer for individuals, and that
the number of hours assigned
for sleep have no relation to
the health - giving quality of
that sleep. All depends upon
how the waking hours are
spent. Some really need eight
hours. Others sail along line
on less. Col. John Slapp, a
physician specializing in aero
space medicine, says that he
gets four to six hours a night
of sleep, the soundness of
which is determined by how
satisfying the rest of the 24
were.
No, it looks as though Arn
old is using sleep as the ve
hicle for throwing his weight
around, in the guise of doing
his family good. The only
good it seems to do is to alert
them all to his unfairness,
and prepare them for further
battle. II wasn't just the iron
clad curfew which made
Daughter No. 1 leave the fry
ing pan for what couici nae
been the fire. It was a dad who
acls like Little Caesar.
But there's hope. Clara and ,
the olhers are unbowed, and
seek an unbiassed ruling.
While too rigid a regulation
is oppressive, we side with
Arnold on the importance of
some scheduling. Ideally this
is arrived at through friend
ly, relaxed discussion between
parents and children, not by
fiat. We propose that a more
elastic spread be set up, with
differentials allowed between
the bedtimes of age 13. age
17 and age 21 plus, according
to responsibilities and person
al rhythms.
As to Arnold's own sleep
needs, they may be Inordi
nate. A physician may find a
phvsioloRical reason for his
I automatic nodding, a disease
symptom. A psychiatrist might
interpret excessive sleepiness
as an urge to shut out wo y.
to escape from an oppressive
reality. Armd's family docs

since this is not the Army.

Present Show at
Hedrick Jr. High
The Limeliters, well-known
RCA Victor singing-comedy
trio, will present a show at 8
p.m. Monday, May 14, in the
Hedrick Junior High school
auditorium.
Their appearance is spon
sored by the Associated Stu
dents of Southern Oregon col

ter with singer Johnny Ma
this, and in sucli prominent
night clubs as San Francis
co's Hungry I, New York's
Blue Angel, the Village Van
guard and Roundtable and
Chicago's Mister Kelly's.
Before the chance meeting
in Los Angeles which resulted
in their merger, Lou Gottlieb,
Alex Hassilev and Glenn Yar
brough each worked as single
supper club acts.
Yarbrough had been sing
ing at a club in Aspen, Colo.,
called the Limclite which in
spired the group's name. Ha
eventually bought the lease
and made Alex Hassilev his
partner.
Then, about this lime, Lou
Gottlieb met the duo. Lou
was an original member of
the Gateway Singers. He had
written several arrangements
for the Kingston Trio. He or
ganized the trio as "The Lime
liters" and opened July 23 at
San Francisco's "Hungry I.''
Lou Gottliet). the comic
spokesman for the trio, is a
doctor of philosophy. Glenn
Yarbrough, the major solo
voice, is a student of classical
Greek. Alex Hassilev speaks
five languages.
Crime Rate Said
Nearly Doubled
Portland - (UPD - C. D. De
Loach, assistant director of
the Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation, said Thursday the
volume of crime has nearly
doubled in the last 10 years.
He told delegates attending
the National Law Enforce
ment Intelligence Units Con
ference that a serious offense
is comniitled every 17 seconds
in the United Slates.
The need lor niuaial help
among crime-fighting agencies
is greater now than ever be
fore, he said.

The Old King Crab Keep.
Plodding, But Gets Nowhara
He's lumbering along in the
mud of many beaches from
Maine to Mexico, ignorant of
the fact his ancestors were
structurally the same as he is,
in spite of the fact they lived
ten millions of years ago.
A peculiar distinction, hav
ing a fossil as one's nearest
relative, but such is the status
of the king crab, commonly
called a horseshoe crab be
cause it is shaped like a horse
shoe. His nearest of kin, as far as
can be determined, are the
spider and the scorpion; all
three have similar character
istics. But the relationship is
a little thin, as he really is
the lone survivor of an other
wise extinct group of animals.
Nature sure tilted the draw
ing board when she designed
this slow-moving tank-like
creature, for the king crab
left the beaten path a long
way back and never man
aged to get back on. About
the only common thing about
them is they are common on
any ocean beach where the
water is relatively warm, but
in every other way they are
about the most unusual critter
alive today.
The scientist calls the king
crab "Limulus" and looks
with amazement at the way
the poor old dope has to
breathe - by means of "book
gills," the most primitive ar
rangement possible. Nature
discarded these gills in all oth
er creatures many millions of
years ago. Book gills look like
the folded pages of a water-
soaked book.
The eyes of Ibis "missing
link" are on the upper, for
ward part of the shell, right
next to two sharp little horns
that don't have any reason for
being there. Of course, its
eyesight is bad. It's doubtful
if he can see his forefeet be
fore his face. Eyes wouldn't
be much use anyway while
wallowing in mud.
The long, stiff, spined tail
drags along behind, a useless
organ that must bother him
no end but comes in handy
once in a while, if the king
crab is on his back, and some
body steps down hard on the
sharp tail. He has never been

known to "be mad at any
body" so there seems little
reason why he has a tail.
The feet and legs are pro
tected by the overhang of the
shell that covers the almost
fleshless body, but they can
carry him along if he is in a
hurry. He has never used his
legs to better himself; he has
not progressed an inch along
the geologic path; not taken a
single timid step. Poor old
plodder, what is his destina
tion? Of all living creatures
he's about the most unorganized.

Oregon Watching
Salem-OJPD- The Oregon Ag
riculture Department says it
is closely watching the "wa
tered ham" case now in the
hands of the U.S. Supreme
Court.
Last November the U.S. Ag
riculture department canceled
its regulation allowing hams
to contain an added 10 per
cent moisture without label
ing. The Oregon supervisor of
meat inspection, Dr. M. L.
Houston, testified at a heating
in Portland a year ago that
the regulation meant hams
could contain as high as 15 to
19 per cent added water con
tent. This is the same as add
ing 10 per cent or more water
to milk, he said.
Ruling Reversed
Federal officials in cancel
ing the 10 per cent allowance
reverted to a regulation say
ing that all watered hams had
to be labeled as imitation.
This was tested in federal dis
