into very cold regions where one
generation is produced per year.
Further two generations are
found. Still further south several
generations may be developed. In
the one generation group, there
is long period of dormancy in
one or more stages of the life
cycle.
1t is said that of the family of
bears, only the polar bear hiber-
mates and only the female. In
this case it is not true hiberna-
ton because during her deep or
profound sleep, her cubs are
born. She is not conscious of this
and it is said, makes no effort to
care for them. Survival is their
problem.
Types of DormancY
There are many types of dor
NANCY. Even closely related spe-
cies may vary in patterns of life.
The Monarch butterfly, for in
stance, may migrate 5000 miles
from Canada to Mexico, while
its relatives spend their entire
lives in the same region where
their ancestors havef'lived since
the ice age. In most cases, butler
flies, moths, and certain other in
sects spend the winter in the lar
val or chrysalis stage. Honeybees
hibernate, and so does the morn
ing cloak butterfly. Many insects
spend the winter in either the
egg stage or the laval stage.
One very interesting case, of
dormancy is the famous African
lungfish. 1t lives in water dur
ing the wet season. When the dry
season comes, it rolls up in a ball
of Shiny mud, changes its respi-
ration from gills to lungs, and
spends several months in it's case
of drying mud.
Frogs may hide in the mud
under the water during adverse
conditions. 1t ceases to use lungs
because the air is excluded. They
take enough oxygen through
their skin from the water to
maintain life.
The variations in dormancy
could be extended to great
length.

these words of hope and promise
work out in our own country,
they shy away and seek out
something more realistic.
1t has been proven time and
again that when equal opportu-
nifty is extended in the true spirit
of Christian love, there is no diff
ference between the races in
mentality, in morality, or in any
values that may be used as mea-
surfing sticks. Differences are in
individuals and no race has a
monopoly on any traits, good or
bad.
The time when so called white
supremacy" can be enforced, by
the methods used in the past, is
gone. Whether we of the white
race like it or not we are a mi
nority in numbers. The dark
skinned races are awakening
from their drugged slumber Of
centuries and are realizing that
life has greater possibilities. Eli
Their one of two things can hap
pen. We can continue to goad
them into feeling of second
class citizenship until they rise
up in revenge and by sheer
weight of numbers brings us I'M
der their control, or we can eX-
tend to them the helping hand
of Christian fellowship and love.
Our churches and our schools,
our hotels and our restaurants,
our places of business and of en-
tertainment, our systems Of
transportation, all must do away
with the taboo of the color line,
and not just as gesture of toll
erance. No one wants to be mere
ly tolerated. This must be done in
the true spirit of Christian fell
lowship. Only then can we live
in the love and mercy of God.
God breathed into Man the
breath of Eternal Life.

Dormancy In Animals

DormancY In Animals
Winter is the season of the
year when dormancy is most
prevalent in many living things
in temperate and cold regions.
The dormant state of animals in
many cases is less obvious than
it is in deciduous. trees or annual
herbs, but it is present. There is
much evidence in nature of the
dormant state, even if unseen.
Dormancy is a state or condi-
ton in which developmental pro-
cesses are temporarily suspended.
In the case of broad leaf trees,
growth and reproduction stops
when the leaves are dropped on
arrival of cold weather. This
brings to the mind the idea that
dormancy is the result of cold.
In the case of the trees that stand
bare during winter, this is gem
orally true.
In the case of many animals,
they spend the adverse period of
winter in dormancy. This is call
ed Information. But there are
many animals living in areas
where cold weather does not pro-
duce the adverse circumstances.
In tropical regions where there
are dry seasons, many animals
have period of suspended ac-
tivity called aestivation. -
The cold blooded animals are
more conspicuously affected by
adverse circumstances that pro-
duce dormancy than are the
warm blooded classes. There are
only two classes that are warm
blooded. They are birds and
manuals. Both are of the highest
phylum, the vertebrates. Of the
birds, only one Individual has
ever been found in Information.
Many birds migrate and suspend
breeding activities during the pc
Rod of winter in the northern
hemisphere. Mammals hibernate,
migrate, usually short distances,
or are adapted to withstand the
unfavorable circumstances.
Conditions of DormancY
It is obvious that the condition
of dormancy is associated with
one or more unfavorable condi-
tins. The very nature of the Sc
ries of cause and effect relation
ships complicate the problem.
Our lack of understanding Of the
influence of heredity is another
handicap in the solution of it.
The two conditions which are
iater-dependent are heat and
light. Our major source of these
two types of energies is the sun.
They are controlled by the sea-
sons. But they influence, if not
control, several other factors.
Photoperiodism, or the effect
of the length of day and night on
the activities of animals, is sea-
sonal. Also air movements, rela-
tive humidity, amount of rain
fall, atmospheric pressure, the
presence or absence of food, the
abundance of food, the amount
of sunshine, and the intensity of
it, are factors that directly or in
directly play roles in the activity
or dormancy of many animals.
All animals of a given species
do not have the same pattern of
dormancy behavior. In the case
of certain insects which have a
wide north-south distribution in
the temperate regions, extend
