SOUTHERN OREGON TRAILER MART PHOENIX, Oregon 535-1331 Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (fit, tiirj Tripsin.) SfMlicMrt 163) r3s Male Water But; Forced To Carry All The Eggs Being henpecked is not an ex clusive human predicament. There are lesser creatures in stature and position that have to suiter the indignities 01 a de manding spouse. One of the most severely henpecked of the lot is the giant water bug. His position in bug-society is almost pathetic. If human compassion could be depressed to a very low level for a little while, we would be justified in feeling sorry for this character with the demand ing wife; a female that demands much and resorts to actual force to attain her own ends. Usually it's about the end of the summer when the giant water bug, often called the elec tric light bug, forsakes the waters of the pond where it lives and flies away to a city or town where it is attracted by a street light or a brightly lighted store window. After plunging head long into the globe or the win dow, this, the largest of all true bugs, falls to the sidewalk and waves its legs helplessly in the air. It is then that pedestrians, seeing this giant bug, stop to I moK, ana asK, wnai in ine world is inai: aoiaom is any one present tnat can answer that question. Three Inches The descriptive name "giant" is well deserved, for this char acter may be all of three inches in length and an inch and a quarter across the back. Their preferred environment is in the waters of a fresh water pond or lake where they capture and cat small fish. In capturing their prey, they grab it with a pair of powerful forcclaws and hold ing the victim firmly, they in ject a poison that quickly para lyzes, and rends the fish help less. Then the water bug sucks the juices from the luckless vic tim's body. The rear legs of the gianl water bug arc flattened and adapted for swimming. The wings which are waterproof, arc large and strong, capable of carrying the bug great distances when it decides lo leave the pond and fly away. There are I recorded instances where the ! bug has traveled many miles, and eventually ended up in an other pond, or as so often hap- pens, into the unyielding side of I a lighted street light. Just what prompts the bug to leave its pond and travel out lover the countryside, is not I known. In fact there are a great many facts about this character that have never been dis covered. Powerful Beak Careless investigators, inter ested in learning more about the giant water bug have been severely stung by the creature's powerful beak. The bite is very painful due probably to a po tent digestive fluid that is in troduced into the wound. One of the most perplexing characteristics of the giant water bug is the determined manner in which the female grabs her unwilling husband and holding him firmlv. lavs her eggs on his protesting back, He always seems reluctant, but she persists. He struggles val' iantly lo exercise his masculine authority, but hes hooked, He can t win for losing. The egg laying may continue for several hours and all the time she holds him, in spite of his not-so-manly ellorts to escape. When the task is completed, she releases him. He dives into the mud and sulks. Later, he forgets or forgives; comes out of retirement, carry ing the eggs on his back. To him this "weaker sex" business is a pain in his back. The eggs stick until they hatch and the little water bugs slide off papa's back. They seem to know that he carried them against his will, for, without a backward glance they leave the old man and become giant water bugs in their own right; some of them will eventually bo henpecked, as was their father.

I must try to con vince my folks that Im a square peg in a round hole. I'm just wasting time sitting in col lege classes. Back in my small town high school I was a big shot, but now I'm among 1,000 big shots in the freshman class and I feel like a hick. The work is terribly hard. Why should I take up a seat when I ought to get out, roll up my sleeves, and do some work I understand? Mr. H. C Neither my wife nor I had a college education. It's been our dearest wish lo give Grant this advantage. When he thinks of some of his class mates who wanted to go to the university but couldn't afford it. he should prize his opportunity more than he does. If it's tutor ing he needs, let's arrange it. He certainly should at least finish the year out. Next year he can transfer to an easier school. LOG ENDS Quick Delivery MEDFORD FUEL CO.

This bridge takes various forms a year at a job, travel, a term of military ser vice, psychological counseling, or attendance at a local college where living-at-home reduces the number of new adjustments lo be made . . . Formerly a fel low like Grant would either quit, never to return, or goof-off until suspended, or become ill. Nowadays, however, his prob lem is such a familiar one that college officials anticipate it, watch for it, and deal with it realistically.
