Black widow spiders are found
in practically every part Of the
United States. They are more
abundant In the south than in the
north.
The spider seldOms enters
houses but is frequently found in
Easements, garages, sheds, outdoor
toilets, culverts. It is often to be
found under rocks, in hollow logs,
Of a large pea. The eggs hatch in
The web Of the black widow looks
rather different from that Of most
spiders. It is loosely woven, irreg-
ular and made up Of coarse strands.
II looks like a pulled out ball Of
cotton and lacks the lacy pattern
Of other spider webs.
Three or four hundred eggs are
laid at a time and placed inside a
dense Whitish silken ball the size

ter over the web.
The female black widow spider
is a shiny jet black on the upper
surface Of the body. On the under
side there is a characteristic red
mark shaped like an hour glass.
There may be one or more red
spots near the tip OF the body.
The body of the fullgrown female
is about u inch long. Male black
widows are smaller. Young spiders
and adult males have yellowish
markings on the upper part sf the
body.
The bite Of the black widow
spider causes a stinging sensa-
tion. It leaves a tiny red spot on
the skin which is often surrounded
By a whitish area. Within a few
minutes to an hour there is a sharp
pain in the region Of the bite and

Pentagon. everyone knows that IL
we are to prepare for the total
defense of our country there can
be no racial segregation in the
National Guard units Of the

The plan of establishing a ma
tionai reserve program has been
troubled from the beginning by
the knowledge that the South did
not want 10 see the country pre-
pare for defense. II that prepare
ton required the elimination Of
segregation in the National
Guard.
In spite of pleas and warnings
from those who support civil
rights. the Administration tailor

Dixie pattern.
When that program was altered
TO the American pattern by MA
ACP amendments offered by Con-
gressman Powell. the White
House led, planned and executed
the move 10 let the Confederacy
have its way.
After days Of unfair attacks by
newspapers and press conferences
studded with patronizing in
nuendos against colored people
the reserve training program
came TO the floor OF the House
again on July /.
This time the sponsors of the
bill even falsely stated that II
did not include the National
Guard. Generals Mccormack and
Martin had used their power to
bring meek followers into line.

House voted against the Powell
amendment on July even Chair.

knew that he was robbing his
country OF the services OF thous

their skins are black.

BROTHERS ALL

We're brothers all, whateer the place
Brother whether in rags or lace.
Brothers all. by the good Lords grace.
Some may sit In royal hall
Some may dwell where the rooms are small,
But under the skin are brothers all
Some may toll meath the burning sun,
Some may dream where the waters run,
But we're brothers all when the day Is done.
BY the sun that shines and the rains that fall,
