Stutltti. Sp.ciei of Wh.lk
Eumln of Okuit Surt-CUm
He was in no hurry. He had
no place to go. Even the pass
ing of time meant nothing
night or day, it was all one
and the aame. Overhead, a
foot of oozy mud and a couple
of feet of water; an ideal en
vironment for this heavy
ahelled mollusk - the giant
urf clam.
Differing aomewhat from
most clam species, the surf
clam prefers a borderline po
sition, seeming to delight in
the waves right at the point
where heavy surf is breaking.
This pounding by wave action
would seem to be the crea
ture's only form of relaxation
or enjoyment, unless he de
rives some small measure of
comfort in ooze or loose sand
while resting s the tide
surges in above him.
Built for This Lli
This clam Is built for rough
and tumble wave action; the
shell itself Is heavy, thick and
strong. It is a shell without
color, with the outer surface
marked with growth lines.
The surf-clam is probahly the
largest bivalve shell In Amer
ican waters, often measuring
seven inches in length and
weighing as much as a pound
and a half.
Because of its commonness,
this clam Is usually the very
first shell the amateur collec
tor finds while walking along
an ocean beach. Too, it will
be the largest shell he will
find, and about the least col
orful. However, If the collector
knows where iu look, and
digs up one of these clams j tually jump trWO the sand,
from its home in the sand, he I but it is doomed; the whelk
will find the shell is yellowish j drains out the body juices,
in color due to a yellow epl- Later, some child may pick
dermis that may completely j up one valve of the clam shell
cover the outside of the two j from a stretch of beach and
valves. This epidermis washes say to his companion. "Look,
away after the animal dies, there's a small round hole In
and those shells that wash up this shell
sand just at the surt line, with
the waves pounding against it,
this clam is never too far
away from its ever present en
emies that can attack and de
stroy it. The starfish is an
enemy, as is a species of
whelk.
The starfish clasps Ihe clam
with its many arms, Its mouth
directly over the dividing
line where the two valves of
the clam are tightly clamped
together. The arms of the star
fish exert a steady pull, at
tempting to sejiarate the two
valves. The clam is deter
mined and strong; it wil keep
its two shells tightly closed.
But eventually the abductor
muscle begins to tire. This is
the time the starfish is wail
ing for. As the two valves se
arate slightly, the starfish
quickly protrudes its own
stomach inside the other mol
lusk's soft body. Within a cou
ple of hours the body juices of
the clam have been sucked
into the stomach of the star
fish. Different Attack
The whelk shell has a dif-fc-renl
method of attack. With
lis raspy tongue it bores a
hole In Ihe thick shell. The
boring procedure may con
tinue for sonic time, but
eventually a hole is drilled,
even when the clam shell may
be nearly an inch in thickness.
In the meantime the clam
goes its leisurely way, until
it feels the prick of the tongue
when it breaks into the body
cavity. The clam may then ac-
Limitalions of service
which will have to be adopted
by the Public Library of Med
ford and Jackson county . if
the library does not receive
the $13,809 increase request
cd in the budget were report
ed by the board of trustees
following a special meeting
called to discuss the decision
announced by the Jackson
county court.
The Jacksonville library
will be reduced from 30 to
20 hours per week under the
pared program.
Requests of school students
at the branch libraries will
not be forwarded to head
quarters. Special classroom collec
tions of books to schools will
be eliminated.
May Be Limitad
Student use of the head
quarters library will be limit
ed in some way.
The board, at conclusion of
the meeting, asked that all
persons interested in a vital
library program for Jackson
county make their wishes
known to the Jackson counvy
budget committee.
Considering the action of
the Jackson county court in
refusing any Increases In the
library budget for 1983-64,
the trustees stated;
"ft is our feeling that the
counly court has . not thor
oughly understood the serious
problem created by the in
creased Use of the library in
Jackson county. The use of
the branch libraries has in
creased at the rate of D.8 per
cent, the branch requests for
information 40 per cent, the
shipment of school classroom
collections of books by 310
per cent and school class vis
its by 85 per cent."
The population of Jackson
county also is growing at the
rate of about 4 per cent per
year, the trustees pointed out.
The increase in the number
of persons using the library
will be 1,200 in the current
year.
Has Right to Dacida
"It is well understood that
the county court has the right
to decide the amount of mon
ey given to the library. At the
same time, the Public Library
trustees must fit the service
the library renders the county
to the amount of money avail
able. If the county court docs
not give the library more
funds to work with than were
given last year, in the "face of
rising demand which will
no doubt continue, then some
adjustments in Ihe service
rendered must he made," the
official statement of the trus
tees read.
After listing the restric
tions, which would be neces
sitated by the curtailment, the
trustees explained that since
students are served by their
own school libraries this area
seemed the most logical one
In which to reduce the serv
ice. Funds to continue this
service were included in the
budget, however, and lo re
strict student use of the li
brary would be a "serious and
unpleasant decision to make."
Scholarship Awards
