Links In 1 Most of us know animals need energy and many raw materials in order to grow and develop and to carry out their life processes. Although animals gain vitamins and warmth from sunlight, they cannot capture and use the light energy from the sun directly. They must get their energy and raw materials by eating plants or other animals that have eaten plants. Only plant materials can transform the sun's nnnrgv into a form useful to consumers?the animals feeding on plants. There is a wide range of plant material on land. Leaves, grasses, roots, bark, sap, flowers, fruits, nuts, nectar, and seeds are some of the materials available to the consumers. Along the seashore, the waters contain lichens, seaweeds, and phytoplankton for the plant materials. Also, some of the material from land plants accumulates in the water as food for sea creatures. Plant materials form the basic link in the food chain. Animals that feed on plant materials, like cows, rabbits and snails, are called herbivores. Animals feeding mainly on other animals are called carnivores. Omnivores arc the animals that feed on both plant and animal materials. Some examples of herbivores are weevils, caterpillars, bees, beetles and other insects, rabbits, mice, seed-eating birds, and horses. Some of the carnivores are toads and frogs, Letters portion of college educated voters in the country are represented by Republicans. In fact, the top seven districts are all represented by GOP members. The only Democratic district is the 8th, California; wouldn't you know it, that district includes the Berkley area represented by Ron Dellums. Enough said? Robert Sellers Shallotte From One Small Voice: 'Hoorah' To the editor: I would like to offer one small voice /T77 /^Amount M< / of Loan / $1,000 $? $2,000 $fi \ $3,000 $ < \ Abow are representative i-wmj: \ Clonal jxryment protection plan< \ x amplev S1.000-29.99V *2.001 Instpai get a sm It the postman is raising the many bills, it's time lor a bill cc trom Manular tutors Hanover ( Services.

Omnivores include some of the warblers, shrimp, fanworms, barnacles, sponges, herring gulls and many other birds. We can think of each plant or animal as a link in the food chain. When a snail feeds on a thistle we have a two-link food chain. If a bird eats the snail, we get a three-link food chain, ad it becomes a four-link chain if a hawk eats the bird. Another four-link chain happens when zooplankton (animal! eats phytoplankton (plant) and mackerel eats zooplankton and man eats mackerel. It's easy to visualize food chains for large animals. Think about the small ones?insects, worms and sea critters?and see if you can construct food chains for them. Such an effort helps us appreciate our surroundings and understand some of the effects of pollution and overuse on our resources. ) (Continued from I in a great hoorah to Sandy Pigott for I? *1 A tl no 1 < iic* icue* *11 uic /ajjiu ua issue ui ine Brunswick Beacon. Her thoughts could have been mine, but I'm ashamed to admit, like so many, I sat back, silent, allowing myself to go uncounted in the cry against abortion. I would like to correct that now and join Sandy in her pleas to cry stop to these abortions. What a sad commentary on our great country that our priorities are with saving the dolphins and sacrificing the lives oi those unwanted tiny human beings, who would have been born in the image and likeness of God.
