ABOUT
NATURE
by Doris B. Kwaslkpni
Dear Mrs. K;
Im want to know what people have crocodile skin?
Dear Andy: ■
The wrinkled skin of old people is called crocodile
skin. Therefore all people of the world who are very old
may have crocodile skin.
***
Dear Mrs. K:
I watched a black, gray and white bird catch a mouse
and hang it on the barb of a wire fence. Why did it do
this?
Dear Kofi:
You probably observed the peculiar habit of the
Loggerhead shrike or Butcherbird. It hangs the animals
it catches on barbs of wire fence because this is an easy
way for the Loggerhead shrinke to tear the prey to
pieces before eating it.
Jeff
Dear Mrs. K:
Are deep-sea animals cold-blooded?
Dear Jeff:
Deep-sea animals are cold-blooded creatures. Their
body temperatures are the same as their surroundings
which are usually from 37.4° to 30.2° F.
***
Dear Mrs. K:
Why is it that Barlette pears that grow on our trees
are gritty while the Barlette pears that are sold in the
grocery stores are not?
Mrs. P. Richardson
Dear Mrs. Richardson:
You are probably leaving the pears on the trees too
long before picking them. Pears develop grit.cells and
taste gritty if left to tree-ripen. Pears must be picked
before they fully mature and then be allowed to ripen
off the tree to improve their texture and flavor.
Dear Mrs. K:
Why do Siamese fighting fish fight?
Peanut
Dear Peanut:
Siamese fighting fish fight only to drive off an
opponent during mating season. Only the male fish
fight.
***
Dear Mrs. K:
Around my house there are a few tree stumps. What
is the best way to get rid of them?
Mr. Maughan
Dear Mr. Maughan:
You did not mention what kind of land you have.
However, stumps in sandy soils may be pulled out
easily while stumps in heavy clay soil may have to
removed with dynamite. If you can wait for about eight
to ten months, the stumps will rot away if treated with
table salt which kills the roots, first. Chemicals for this
purpose are sold in farm and garden stores. The salt or
chemical must be put in a hole which has been bored in
the middle of the stumo.

Major Black Art Exhibit Opening At A&T
Page A-5
GREENSBORO-Amistad II, an exhibit
of art work by black Americans dating
from 1795 to the present, will be shown in
the H.C. Taylor Art Gallery at A&T State
University Feb. 15 through Mar. 12.
The exhibit, consisting of some 75
works by the nation’s top black artists, is
being shown in connection with A&T’s
year-
The exhibit, consisting of some 75
works by the nation's top black artists, is
being shown in connection with A&T’s
year-long celebration of the American
bicentennial.
“We feel extremely fortunate in
securing this outstanding exhibit,” said
Mrs. Eva Miller, curator of the museum.
“In this show will be very important
paintings, sculptures and documents,
vitally steeped in our history.”
The Amistad II exhibit will be coming
to A&T from the Museum of Colorado.
A cooperative project of seven
Southern colleges, the Amistad Research
Center and the American Missionary
Association, the exhibit cost more than
$60,000 to assemble. More than three
years of planning went into the exhibit.
Amistad II is named for a slave ship
which was seized by mutinying slaves in a
desperate attempt at freedom in 1839.
The 53 slaves, led by Cinque, the
oldest son of the chief of the Mendi tribe
in West Africa, took over the Spanish
slave ship, La-Amistad.
The slaves thought they were heading
for Africa, but were tricked by two
Spanish navigators. They ended up
in Long Island, New York and were tried
for piracy and murder.
Tried before the U.S. Supreme Court
which was presided by former President
John Quincy Adams, the slaves were
freed and later returned to Africa.
Included in the extensive collection,
will be works by Henry O. Tanner,
Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence,
Elizabeth Catlett, Charles White and
Joshua Johnston.
Among the documents are original and
enlarged reproductions of slave letters,
Adams' correspondence and other
writings which tell the Amistad story.
The Taylor Gallery will be open Monday
through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It
will be closed on Saturdays and will open
again on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
W55U Observes Black History Week
WINSTON-SALEM--In observance of
Black History Week, February 8-14,
various campus organizations at
Winston-Salem State University have
prepared a seven-day program which
highlights the history, religion, politics,
and culture of Black Americans.
The program events will include
participants from the campus and the
Winston-Salem community as well as
other professional talent. Of particular
note is the history program on
Wednesday, February 11 which is
entitled “An Evening with Frederick
Douglass” featuring William Marshall.
This event sponsored by the Scholastic
Achievement Program and Student
Government Association, will be held at
8:00 p.m. in the K.R. Williams
Auditorium. It is open and free to the
public.
Marshall is a distinguished Shakes
pearean actor who has performed as
Othello for the British Royal Family. His
appearances on the American Stage, in
films and television over the more than
twenty years of his career include his
widely acclaimed performance in the
Greek drama, “Oedipus Rex”, and his
portrayal of the fictional King Dick in
“Lydia Bailey”, based on the life of the
Haitian patriot Henry Christophe.
Marshall was most recently the recipient
of two Emmy Awards for both executive
producer and performer in the production
of “Adam, Early in the Morning”.
Marshall plays the starring role in
American International’s film of
“Blacula”.
In the Wednesday night performance
Marshall will re-create the life and times
of Frederick Douglass, a man born into
slavery, who became a uniquely eloquent
voice of 19th Century America as both a
writer and orator in the cause of human
rights.
