ALONG THE JUN1ATA Jwiy GARDEN DINOSAUR Ever since Japanese beetles got into the rose beds owned, by Mrs.

Fred L. Orlady of'Briarciiff, has declared war on the ravaging pests. Deciding to fight fire with fire, the woman sent away for an insect supposed to be an enemy of the praying mantis. She launched her counter-invasion of the rose-bed- beachheads in 1943 when she purchased her first "case" of praying mantises. A case, explains the determined woman, resembles a cocoon, and may contain as many as 350 baby mantises.

When 'they hatch, ants are liable to get the small insects, and only half of the original number may survive. These grow to maturity in a short time, become three or four inches' long and are green in color. The praying mantis may new in this area, for Mrs. Orlady cannot remember seeing any before 1943. Now, she claims, they have multiplied fast in this part of the country, all from the first case.

Last Spring she learned of two cases clinging to branches on Flagpole Hill, and the year before as many as 16 were counted. So far this Spring, small children have brought her a few cases, also taken from the hill. The "garden dinosaur," as Mrs. Orlady likes to describe the sav- was made first to the town, then the finally to the person. state, then college, and "At the same time it became a plug for the right pronunciation of Miss Spencer was pleased and added "thank goodness." While attending the convention she heard two- noted speakers from Great Britain, Dr.

Herbert Read and Robin Bond. The conference lasted three days with demonstrations, symposiums and clinics. age insects, are carniverous from birth. The baby insects feed on "plump and juicy aphis," but the full grown ones strike at hornets or bumble bees as readily as at a butterfly or a beetle. It is one of the few insects that can turn its head like a human.

After mating, the female mantis shows a trait of cannibalism by burning on the male and eating him. Apart from its "insatiable appetite for other insects," the mantis will not harm a human, so Mrs. Orlady asks that Huntingdon area residents "do not destroy them." The praying mantis gets its name from its resemblance to a human's attitude of prayer. "Sometimes I -think it should be called a 'preying' mantis," says Mrs. Orlady.

It waits for its prey with its forelegs raised and close together, and slightly resembles a large grasshopper. Since the mantis devours flies and beetles "and the thousand and one pests a. garden is heir to," it is a valued friend of the farmer, claims the Huntingdon woman. Not only have they been found on Flagpole but near invitationto" the parents of mem- the campus of Juniata College as. bers and to the sponsors to visit well.

They hatch In late May and and inspect the clubrooms. are not seen much before August, "so please be on the lookout for this weird and vicious-looking creature and do not destroy it." Asked how her garden fared now that the mantises are active near her rose beds, Mrs. Orlady simply replied: "Tha Japanese beetles are still there." WON PRIZE Miss Edith L. Spencer, dean of women and assistant professor of arts at Juniata Colege, helped spread the name and fame of her school while in New York during her Spring vacation. It was while she was attending the Eastern Arts Association convention, she reports.

There was the usual room of of the various book, supply and equipment companies. On the last day of the convention these companies gave out prizes. According to Miss Spencer, she won one of the "most coveted prizes." It wan the finest oil paint set that M. Grumbacher puts out. Nine extra-fine brushes were included in the award.

Even if they had never heard of it before, every one of the more than one thousand delegates to the conference knew of Juniata College after the meeting, because the prize Kiss Spencer won "was given with quite bit of drama of expectation." The award Parents Invited To Mount Union Youth Center Friday evening, April 16, has been set as "Parents Night" at the Mount Union Youth Center and members of the center are urged to be there and have their parents as special The Youth Center is always open to the public for inspection but tomorrow night the directors of the center present their annual WANT YOUR BUSINESS?
