A. This is the most beautifully
colored of the local representative

G. Why do hermit crabs live in
dead sea shells?
A. Hermit crabs are distant re.
latives of the Holsters and shrimp.
and have fairly long tails which
are soft and lack the hard pro.
techve covering that is found on
the forward part of the body. Her.
NIT crabs therefore live in discard
ed sea shells, which are carried
about as the crab moves along the
sea floor. A housing problem
occurs periodically as the crab
grows, making it necessary to move
to a larger shell from time to
time.
@. What is a 'minnow?"
A. A minnow is impossible to
define in scientific terms, this
name beng applied loosely to near.
ly any kind of small fish, usually
a freshwater form living in schools.
To bait dealers "minnows" may
also be the young of other larger
fish, but generally speaking the
the term is most properly applied
to various small members of the

@. Why do seaweeds grow pro-

A. This is because they require
light in order to grow, after the
manner of land plants. BY a pro-
cess called photosynthesis, the pig

chemicals in the sea water into
disable foods. light acting as the
principal agent in this transforms

That was the pencil-scrawled,
unpunctuated message received
yesterday by the Baltimore City
Council. The word Communist"
appeared at the end of the message
and it was not known whether it
was meant as a signature or a
slur.
The councilmen accepted the
message quite calmly, several of
them commenting that they often
receive anonymous cards or let
tiers. This one wasn't addressed to
any individual councilman.
Yesterdays message merited a
second look, however, because of

Memories of the days when
Port Clinton's fire protection de-

returned vividly Sunday when an
old fire hose cart was brought to
the surface from its 75-year rest

Andry Holly Jr. and Bob Dix

arrangements with a Lay Fish Co.
boat, equipped with winch, to
raise the cart and a Sam Amato
crane brought it to land.
1t is believed the brass and me-
tai cart has been in the water
about rs years, ever since the old
wooden pier burned. Spokes of
the wheels are gone, and there is
trace of damage by fire.
Firemen plan to clean off the
rust and corrosion and restore the
cart as valuable memento of
early days here. 1t is now in the
