To good advantage, John DeGrazio, Chief of the Section, explains.

Walking, they look like huge spiders with four feet pointing away from their bodies. Their fur and small grayish-brow- n pointed ears resemble those of rats. The nose is a wrinkled mass without a septum and the eyes big and dark brown. The vampire feeds at night after its prey has settled indown.

But blood loss is only one problem caused by the vampire bat. It is a major carrier of rabies and its bite provides avenues for other kinds of infections. Few humans have actually died as a result of vampire bites. Last year vampires roosting in wells in the town of Granada, Nicaragua, bit several people. Mostly they bit the toes of sleeping children. Fortunately, none died since the vampires were not infected with rabies. and Mrs. Fred Kirby, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schofield, Mr. and Green, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Major, Mr. and Mrs. Don Howard, Mr. and Mrs. George Talbot and Mr. and Mrs. Hylon Smith. Mrs.-Howar- d JOHN DeGRAZIO says vampires are highly intelligent and fascinating mammals which have come into increasing conflict with man as mans activities have expanded the vampires distribution and numbers. Mans introduction and husbandry of livestock in its Latin American range gave the vampire an almost unlimited food source. its CONSEQUENTLY, population grew. It spread too as man created such structures as mine shafts, wells, and aquaducts used by the vampire as roosting sites along with the usual caves and hollow trees.

Moreover, none really solved the problem. Besides, DeGrazio points out, none of them were selective enough to prevent the deaths of large numbers of beneficial bats. For the last seven years the U.S. Agency for International Development has provided funds to the Fish and Wildlife Service for research on a vampire control program in several Latin American countries. AS THE researchers from Denver have completed their field studies with their Latin American neighbors, their success has exceeded all exMany biologists consider it the classic success story in animal damage con- pectation. trol. Studying the vampire intensely, both in the laboratory dont have too much work we could bring our very favorite card game and play it if it isnt very long. Decorate the room and we could bring a treat. When our work is done we could have the treat and then have recess. Make a picture. Color it our very best. Then take it and in the field, the Denver Wildlife Research Center biologists discovered that when cattle are treated with the anticoagulant diphenadione, vampire bat predation can be reduced by 90 to 95 percent. ORDINARILY used to treat human heart disease, the drug in proper dosage is harmless to cattle when injected into their stomachs and absorbed into the bloodstream. But a vampire bat biting a cow ingests the drug and within three days dies from massive hemorrhaging. . The anticoagulant from the cow added to the vampires own anticoagulant becomes too much for the bat. RESEARCH ON the living habits of vampires resulted in the discovery of an even more effective and less method of using diphenadione. The scientists found that vampire bats are gregarious only with other vampires and roost apart from other bat species in a g cave. They live in quite close proximity in colonies often numbering less than 100 individuals and spend nearly ten percent of their time grooming themselves and .each other. THE researchers caught some of the vampires in nets and smeared a mixture of diphenadione and vaseline on them before releasing them to rejoin their groups. Then, as the bats preen themselves, they ingest the drug and die. This approach is virtually flawless, DeGrazio thinks, since it is not only species-specifi- c but affects only those colonies in the population that actually feed on livestock.

The meeting was Task Force Visits At NLJH BUNDED An experiment in how it feels to be blind was conducted in the Kaysville Elementary school fifth grade class. Shown here are Stewart Howard and Marilyn Neville. Randy Harris of Ogden, 5th grade teacher at Kaysville Elementary School is conducting an experiment of how it feels to be blind, with students in his class being blindfolded for an entire school day, thus experiencing the sensation. IT ALL started when Mr. Harris showed the film, Inside Out. This is a film of a girl who was blind and showed the great many things she could accomplish and how well she could function under this handicap. So many times children feel they cant do one thing or another, yet they can see, hear, talk etc. One can accomplish most anything they have a determination to do. This experiment has been conducted in other schools. After Mr. Harris explained the experiment to the students, they were excited to try it. No child is forced to participate. MR. HARRIS writes two numbers on a slip of paper. There are numbers in a box and each student draws out a number. Those having matching numbers with the ones Mr. Harris has written down are candidates for the blindfold for the following day. If they wish not to try the experiment they may say so. A few of the students to not with to try it. The blindfolds were donated by a mother of the class. It is placed on the two children from 9 a.m. to 3: 10 p.m. MR. HARRIS stated: They do all their school work except the writing assignments and other students help them with this. Whenever they leave the room, they are escorted by another student, so that no accidents may occur. He said most of the students who have tried the blindfold become very depressed, others are very nervous and one boy could only cope with it for one hour. The students who have experienced this are realizing the seriousness of handicapped persons. They will continue the experiment until each child who wishes to participate has had the opportunity, np Kaysville -- Ele.

USED ON a herd of 100 cattle in Nicaragua, the two techniques reduced bat bites from more than 400 daily before treatment to 13 a 97 percent reduction. Another herd of 414 cattle receiving an average of 1,560 fresh bites and collectively losing over 20 gallons of blood a day suffered only seven new bites a day one week after treatment.
