Their ability to 'attract and trap animals has been a source of fascination for years. There are over 45.0 flesh -eating plants in the world Despite vicious -- rumours. not a single.one of these 450, will devour a perfion. The most. common carnivorous plant is the Venus Fly Trap which Catches insects with its leases Although it traps a wide variety of insects its main source of food is ants. not flies. Two -leaves of a Venus Fly trap form a cup. Each side of_ the cup has bristles. When an insect. attracted by the sweet smell of the liquid inside the cup. lands on a leaf. it cannot help but touch these bristles. The two sides of the leaf snap shut and lock the insect inside the cup with no means of escape. Once,the trap is closed it fills up with liquid and the insect drowns, The insect slowly gets digested by the plant. When the plant has used as much of the. insect as it wants the trap opens and the insect's skeleton gets swept away by the. windi The Butterwort. another flesh -eating plant, received its name because of a sticky yellow substance that covers the surface' of its leaves like a thin layer of butter. This sticky covering glues insects to the leaves of the plant which. once they have captured their prey, curl over and trap the victim. The Sundew is one of the most beautiful carnivorous plants. The plant glistens in the sun because of the droplets of sticky fluid which rest on, the ends of the plant's tiny tentacles Small insects stick to the tentacles which bend over to neighbouring tentacles to trap the insect This plant eats so quickly that a trapped insect can be devoured in a few hours. Most carnivorous plants live in hogs and marshes. The plants h're become scarce as their natural home are bulldoied over for new housing developments. It is fun to hunt for these fascinating plants and watch them eat, but because they are becoming rare, it is Netter to leave them where they are. The flesh -eating plants easiest to grow arc found at a florists These:plants have been cultivated in nurseries so if you buy them you will not he threatening their wild existence. If you decide to raise carnivorous plants feeding them will he simple. They should be happy with the insects around your 'home. These plants can live without any insects for quite awhile, Put they will become weak and unhealthy. A starving carnivorous plant will appreciate a tiny piece of hamburger or cooked egg white dropped into its trap. They don't haVe to be fed very often — once :very six weeks should he enough Besides eating meat,carnivorous plants need plenty of sunshine. humidify, and water. Carnivorous plants are fun to grow and observe. They are great to hgt'e • around the house, especially if you are sick of ,- .watttng nosquitttes. No matter how large these plants get they won't -eat you. Remote as bearskin lawyers for Des Cassidy.

Don Stinson, an owner of Bluewater Cable TV Ltd. in !Huron County wants the Canadian radio -television and telecommunications commision to think so according to a story in the London Free Press. In a letter to the CRTC committee studying extension of TV service to remote Canadian com- munities, Stinson says reliable satellite reception would end his subscribers' , complaints about poor picture quality. He said his company is having trouble providing U.S. channels with reliable quality because its conventional cable TV antennas are barely able to pull in signals from Detroit and Buffalo. The Bluewater letter is one of more than 300 submissions being considered by the CRTC committee before it reports to the full com- mission May 15. The service extension issue involves four percent of the Canadian population who live in remote areas receiving no television or only CBC service.
