Newspaper Page Text4 B THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Small Worlds Around Us JuJl Watkins' Kef Ister i Tribune Syndicate, ItClk TrimgU Spider Limoi Hr Piy And Seldom Miw She was crouched there among the needles of the ever green tree, all ready to spring the trap; she was the little tr ! angle spider, commonly called the "lasso" spider, and for very good reason. She actw ally does lasso her prey. If you take the time to watch her sometime and notice how she operates, you might be amazed at her dexterity as a trapper of Insects - she seldom misses. We are all more-or-Iess fa miliar with the standard tech nique of most species of spi ders: to build a web, some times elaborate and of con siderable size, placed in a ver tical position where flying in sects are pretty sure to crash into them. Some of the more observant folks have also seen the "tube-webs," where Mrs. Spider hides in a funnel-like den, ready to rush out and grab any insect that strikes the silk threads. The wolf spider neglects to construct a web, but stalks its prey like a Jungle beast. Some folks have marveled at the trap-door spider which hides in a hole in the ground and covers the opening with clever little door. Underneath, in the burrow, the trap-door spider holds onto the door therby closing out the outside world, where lurks her many enemies. Laiio Of Silk But none of these "tried and true" techniques are employed by the triangle spider; this little creature throws a lasso of silk and catches her prey by entangling it with a skein of sticky threads. She dis plays considerable skill in casting her gauzy lasso. The lasso spider is smull and almost round. She can usually be found In evergreen trees. The trap she sets for in sect capture could hardly be called a web, except that it is made of silk. She attaches four lines to a twig, taking care to space the lines the proper distance apart. She gathers up the four lines at the free ends and tics them to gether. What she has made then is in the shape of a triangle, the lour radiating lines coming to gether. To the apex of the tri agle she attaches a strong line. She often goes back over the four lines and adds more cross lines (she doesn't want a small insect to slide In between the threads). She picks up the connecting line with her rear feet and takes up her position. She has a firm grip on some twig with her forefeet. Then she pulls the line tight with her rear legs and Is ready. Virtus of Pationca Patience Is a virtue with the little lasso spider. She Is will ing to wail any length of time, always maintaining a steady pull on the holding line. Asleep or awake, how ever, she is always ready for the slightest disturbance of an insect body vibrating the strands of the lasso. If an alert cores, which it Is sure to do sooner or later, she Im mediately allows the web to go slack, it rcbondg and en meshes the insect In the sticky linrs of the lasso. She is well aware of how securely the victim is caught; if necessary she snaps the net violently, pulling it tight then releasing it quickly causing it to snap upwards. Satisfied the insect is caught she runs to II, cats It If she is hungry or throws a few lines of holding threads about the body if she deeicles to cat It later. Either way, however, she will untanglo the strands, re arrange them into the triangle again, grab the stout connect ing line and bo ready lo lasso the next victim. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE.

M limit right reserved no tales to dealers Dream City Rises Off Florida Coast By OTTO E. STRUM Tierra Verde, Fla. -it'l'P- A monument to a man and a dream is springing up here by the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico off the sun-drenched west coast of Florida. The man is Louis Brrlanti, a native of Connecticut who went to work as a laborer al the age of 14 and, 30 years later, had become head of one of the largest construction em pires in the world. His dream was to build a community that would give its population and visitors the daily pleasures of a year round resort and yet be near a major ccnlcr offering em ployment and growth poten tial to non-retired residents. The monument is the island city of Tierra Verde (Spanish for "Green Earth"). Search Several years of searching across the United Stales and into South America and Eu rope elapsed before Bcrlanli was to find the ideal location for his pioneering project. "It turned out that the keys off St. Petersburg were really the only perfect spot for Hie undertaking," he said at Ti erra Verde's recent official opening. In association with his son, Fred, and with the financial backing of the famous Murch ison brother of Dallas, Tex., John D. and Clint W. Jr., Brr lanti has made a planned city P.M. Business Peace Corps Suggested By Professor East Lansing, Mich.-OJPP-The Peace corps, considered by many one of the most suc cessful peoplc-to-peoplc ef forts undertaken by the U.S. government, should be ex panded into business enter prises, according to a Michi gan State university profes sor. Dr. Mordcchai Kreinin, eco nomics professor, suggests the Peace corps move into coop eration with pmall and me dium sized business firms abroad. "The success of the Peace corps brings to mind the pos sibility of enlisting business organizations in similar pur suits in the area of technical assistance," Kreinin said. He suggested such a pro gram could be administered by the Agency for Interna tional Development (AID) or an independent agency. "Under the plan a partici pating American cnlcrprisc would form a partnership with cither private Interests or the government of an un derdeveloped country, wilh the foreign partner always owning the controlling share," Kreinin said. "The American partner would supply the central core of managerial and technical personnel necessary to set up a plant In the participating country. The Americans would assume responsibility for training local personnel to gradually lake over the management." Krcinin's plan called for the cooperative contracts to specify a date to terminate the partnership, at which time the American partner would pull out, leaving be hind "a viable indigenous company." Giant enterprises should bo excluded from such a pro gram, the MSU professor said, because the program would have lo overcome the reluc tance of American business men to enter into partnerships wilh foreign governments .nd the possible fears of exploita tion on the part of the par ticipating foreign country . Two State Budgets Okayed for Passage Salem-IUrn - A Ways and Means subcommittee Tuesday snipped lis way through two more slate budgets and rec ommended passage for both. The subcommittee approved a $174,802 Marine Board budget $22,538 less than ask- cd by the governor, and a $165,802 Racing Commission budget $0,052 less than requested.

After 10 years of development and Bn investment of more than $25 million, it has been sculptured into a park-like setting of six islands, all joined by road ways and connected to the Florida mainland by a cause way. This causeway extends from the 200,000 - population resort city of St. Petersburg through Tierra Verde and on to Fort Do Solo Park, a beach and recreation area of 1,700 acres. Tampa, a busy metrop olis of 275.000 population, is 24 miles inland to the north east. vWilh a fresh breeze from the Gulf adding an extra spar kle to (he bright sun and clear blue sky, you tour Tierra Verde and realize the preci sion planning that started Ber lanti's dream to fruition. Different This city was to be as dif ferent as its conception was daring. That's why, for in stance, there aren't any tele phone poles, power lines or television antennas in sight. For beauty and safety, all util ities in Tierra Verde are bur ied underground. Television reception is through a 120 loot master antenna, connect ed underground by coaxial cable to each homesite. And why not plan now, thought Berlanti and his as sociates, for the traffic in crease that comes with popu lation growth? By 1070, Tierra Verde is ex pected to have 50,000 resi dents and visitors. So. its bou. levards range from 100 to 200 feet in width, with parkway strips of IB to 60 feet, and its streets are 60 or more feet wide. Curves are gentle. The streets are lined with tall. stately palm trees, of which 10,000 already have been transplated here full grown The swimming, boating and fishing for which Florida is famous will be in practically everybody's back yard in this picturesque community where the average mean temperature ranges from about 63 in Jan uary to around 84 in August. Blue-watered canals 150 to 500 feet wide make the city look like a modern American Venice. The waterways are I deep enough for big, ocean- going yachts and they've been so engineered as lo be kept clean by the tidal action of the Gulf. Goal The 1970 goal for Tierra Verde is 2,100 private homes and apartmenls, representing 30 per cent of the city's acre age. Essential businesses and services will occupy another 30 per cent and 40 per cent will be laken up by hotel, mar- ina and recreational facilities. Potential sales value of Tierra .Verde is eslimated at more than $600 million. Building sites are roughly comparable in price to those of the better suburbs of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles or San Francisco. Every house must be custom-built so that no two are alike. "Idea" homes, completely furnished, have been built as guidelines to property owners. The city's social life has started with the opening of Port-O-Call, a $4.5 million motor inn, marina, night club and restaurant operated by famed entertainer Guy Lorn bardo. It also is headquarters for Tierra -Verde's country club, which includes an 18 hole golf course. If Tierra Verde is unique as a planned cily, it also bears no resemblance to any of the other varied enterprises of the Murchison brothers. But, as John D. Murchison put it; "We think that America will look to Tierra Verde as a trend-setting community."
