C0n,n,unitys Retired Folk Offer Vast
Untapped Resource, Researcher Says

A change in social structure that
will give the retired person a chance
to continue doing something that
counts" is recommended by re-
searcher who made study of the
adjustment of retired farmers in the
Mcclure community of Henry
county, Ohio.
Something should be done to
utilize the wisdom and experience
that the retired folk possess" wrote
Stanley G. Sheriff who made the
study as a graduate thesis for
Bowling Green State University.
"Such a reservoir of positive value

lies untapped in every community.
Our present social structure and the
custom of putting in the young and
dropping out the old in general af-
fairs of life proves to be a device
that automatically relegates older
people to the arm chair status"
Mr.. Sheriff. wrote that the study
had left him with "the strong con-
viction that our social structure
needs to be changed so that in re-
tirement each individual remains a
natural, participating, contributing
factor to the social whole"

feeding habits. Grasshoppers are
normally herbivorous, cockroaches
are normally omnivorous, and
preying mantids are normally
carnivorous, chiefly insectivorous.
The body structure of mantids,
differ radically from other ortho-
terra. This is especially true of the
prothorax which is greatly alon-
gated. The front feet, which are
attached to the prothorax, are
highly modified and used for
slezing insects for food. They are
not necessary for locomotion. The
long sharp spines are more suited
for holding captured insects.
The head of Mantids is very
small in proportion to it's body

very little loss of life in the egg
cases.
With the coming of spring, the
young Mantids are developed and
they are able to force their way
out of the case. The most hazard
Gus part>of their lives begins with
emergence. The young, which look
like miniature adults are vora-
cious feeders, even to the point
of cannibolism. They feed chiefly
on small, soft bodied insects. like
plant lice. AS they grow, they
mott occasionally. This makes
growth appear to be in a series

The Mantids belong to the or
thoptera because of their struc--
ture. They have outer wings that
are leathery and straight. The in-

They have biting mouth parts, as
do the other orthoptera. the grass

Habits
Like most other animals, the
Mantids spend much time in cap
turing food. This is done chiefly
by lying in ambush for food to

when another insect is near, with
their front feet or 'hands" held
