SEA SECRETS

Q. Is It true that sharks period
cally shed their teeth? A. L. Nor
rison, Ohio
A. Yes, sharks shed their teeth.
The shedding does not occur al at
once, but gradually and continuous
ly. Behind the largest, or function
al, row Of teeth are several other
rows Of teeth that gradually de-
crease Ia size. As the first row Of
teeth is gradually shed or lost by
being left Undecided IN the prey,
the next row moves forward to
take its place. One of the reasons
that fossil shark teeth are so album
dant in certain geological deposits
Is that each shark may shed
thousands of teeth during Is life
time.

Mother"
He said that each individual has
four mothers, who are namely,
Mother, the spiritual mother, the
physical mother, and the school.
Mother nature is very exacting
and demanding. She calls back all
that she gives. "Dust thou art and
unto dust thou shalt return" She
Is also rather considerable as she
continues to change the scenery =
such % her winter, spring, sum-
ner and autumn attire. She wants
attention.
The second mother, our psiritual
mother, claims US with the sacra-
ment Of baptism and has control
over US until the last sacrament -
extreme JUNCTION" Is administered.
Ungrateftll indeed Is the child
who forgets Mother Church, the
solild mother; for she takes him in
her arms at birth and folds him
into Mother earth at death.
Our physical mother, the one
who takes care Of US IS indeed a
sacrificing being. Often she is for
gotten and taken as a matter Of
fact.
The bishop expressed the hope
that each person wouldS become
more interested in his mother, and
strive to make everyday Mothers
Day.
