PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, IS Poor Spider Is Misunderstood, Says Nettles CLEMSON. — Poor misunder stood spider! Spiders work harder for the benefit of mankind than a multi tude of other creatures, yet the saintly little animals are hated and feared to an unreasonable ex tent by people. Coming to the spider’s defense, W. C. Nettles, Clfcmson extension leader of entomology work, cites the case for the spider down through the years: Spiders were used in primitive medicine to cure various ills, and the belief was prevalent in Geo. Washington’s day that they could charm away diseases of many types. Respected writers since have described the usefulness of their web in reducing fevers, and (housewives, take note) spiders were welcomed in the home. Their continuous was against mosquitoes, flies, and other di sease-carrying insects is still rec ognized as making a contribution to health— and may account for some of the old beliefs in their di sease-curing qualities. “Spiders are naturally shy little creatures. Only the black widow and a recently reported brown spider are capable of biting with a dangerous effect. While all spe cies have biting mouth parts arid secrete venom of some sort, both t!.s bite and the venom are pro portioned for other insects, and not man,” Nettles maintained. “Out of 1,300 reported black widow bites from the period 1726 to 1943, fifty-five fatalities have occurred—which may be of some reassurance in case you’re unduly frightened by them. Medical aid should be sought in case of a black widow bite,, and all bites should 1 Rcxall) SALE mi Awmvi [;Sale Will | Continue | THRU Sat.

With dieldrin, or other insecticide sprays, you’ll be able to cope with the situation,” Nettles stated. Other controls are outlined in Clemson Bulletin 101, available from county agents. Army Offers Unit Assignment Today’s Army is reaching into the frontiers of the sky to de velop a mobile fighting force equaled by none, The United States Army Airborne. Keynoted by speed, range, and mobility, the Airborne is an elite group of ad venturous young men thoroughly trained in both nuclear and non nuclear warfare tactics — ready and willing to meet any challenge. The instant readiness of the Airborne to get into action swiftly is daily proving to be more and more important in the Army’s overall stategy, and the Airborne troops assigned to the Strategic Army Corps are prepared to move on a moments notice. Now, under the Army’s new “Choose- it- Yourelf” Vocational Training System, qualified per sonnel are being enlisted for as signment to Airborne units and guaranteed the vocational train ing of their choice. Both choice of training and the Airborne option are guaranteed before enlistment. In addition to the “Choose-it- Yourelf” system, the Army is now offering the Strategic Army Corps option which offers a choice of Airborne unit assignment to quali fied volunteers. Under this op tion, assignment to the division of choice, either the 101st Air borne Division stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, or the 82nd Airborne Division stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, is offered after completion of Air borne training. The Strategic Army Corps (STRAC) is the gov ernment’s mobile troubleshooter that is designed to confine and snuff out any localized conflict before it can spread into general war. Information concerning either of these options may be obtained by contacting Sergeant Thompson at the local Selective Service Board on Monday. 111111 IS-?; iMr IN HOSPITAL Edward L.
