Dear Mrs. K.:
In the movie, “Jaws”, the shark lost some teeth after bit
ing on the boat. It seems to me that one way to kill a shark
is to get it to bite something that will break off all its teeth.
Then it will starve to death because it can’t bite. Ha! Ha!
Joseph. B.
Dear Joseph:
Unfortunately, the shark has several rows of spare teeth
and its teeth are continuously being replaced. When the teeth
in the front row are lost, the teeth in the second row move
up to the front and so on. However, the spare teeth are larg
er than the teeth in use and just as sharp. Also, the shark
swallows some prey whole and doesn’t need to bite them.
Dear Mrs. K:
Do mermaids still live in the sea?
Anne E.
Dear Anne:
The sea cow or manatee (Trichechus manetus) from a
distance looked like a woman to eariy Greek sailors at sea.
This gave rise to the myths of the mermaid, a sea or lake
creature with a body of a beautiful woman above the
waist and the tail, fins and scales of a fish. The sea cows
may still be found today in tropical waters from the Red
Sea to the Phillipines and northwest coast of Australia.

Dear Mrs. K:
Which ape is almost as smart as man?
Brendle Edmonds
Dear Brendle:
The chimpanzee is believed by scientists to be nearest
to man in intelligence.
Dear Mrs. K:
Are all barracudas dangerous?
Mr. Ralph
Dear Mr. Ralph:
Some barracudas are dangerous. They kill and destroy
more than they eat. They will also attack man When' pro
voked and will amputate his limbs and cause him to die
by bleeding to death. However, more than 20 species of
barracudas are harmless.
*****
Dear Mrs. K:
Someone sent me a sassafras root to make a tea for my
health. How do you make sassafras tea?
Ms. Bertha Marsh
Dear Ms. Marsh:
Sassafras tea is made by steeping the root from the sassa
fras plant with boiling water. The root should be shaved into
short half-inch chips, put in a teapot and covered with boil
ing water. Let these chips steep for 4 or 5 minutes until the
tea reaches the strength you desire. Add cream or sugar to
taste.

Drinking Made Scapegoat, Says Duncan Cameron
GKEEiNSBORO— A&T. The Ctouncil, whose
The liquor industry is con- headquarters is located in
cemed about the nation’s Washington, D. C., is com-
drinking problem, believe it posed of representatives of 26
or not.
At least that was the word
being passed during a driver’s
and safety education seminar
at A&T State University
Thursday.
“We are concerned about
the problem,” said Duncan
Cameron, a public relations
representative of the Distilled
Spirits Council of tlie United
States, “but we are concerned
that drinking not be made a
scapegoat for failure in good
driving practice.”
Cameron addressed stu
dents at the Driver’s and
Safety Education Center at
major distilleries from across
the nation.
He said slogans like, “If
you drink, don’t drive,” have
proved to be unrealistic and
unsuccessful.
“We still say that’s the
best advice,” said Cameron,
“but it’s obnous that people
are ignoring this.”
Walker, president of the
Philadelphia PUSH chapter,
said.
PUSH stands for People
United to Save Humanity. It is
an inter-faith, religious-based
civic organization with the
primary goal of improving the
economic welfare of under
employed, unemployed and
unrepresented minorities of
all races and colors.
The convention will also
feature other seminars and
work shops. Social activites
planned include a “Family
Day” August 8, in Philadel
phia, featuring non-stop cele
brity entertainment.
Combined convention re
gistrations and PUSH mem
berships are available to resi
dents of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
and New York from PUSH, P.

Pa. 19146.
Philadelphia regional offi
cers are Mrs. Emma Chap
pell, Treasurer and the Rev.
James Hall, Vice President
and Convention Chairman.

He and the Council push
what they call a “Know Your

said, is “for adults who oc
casionally drive after drink
