Area News Start Installations of New Water Mains The Hamilton Spectator, April 2, 1951 Aldershot - The contractors in charge of the laying of water mains in Aldershot have almost completed the hook-up with the Burlington line at Indian Point. J. C. Higbee, of the Inter-Urban Area Water Board, said today installations would begin along No. 2 Highway, from Campbell's Corners to Indian Point, as soon as this line has been tested. Some 12 applications for service have been received from residents in this area and they should have water shortly, Mr. Higbee said. The Aldershot firm of Gray and Gavin will do the excavation work as far as the township line and a crew fron the Water Board will tap the main and lay the pipe. The township engineer, W. Hollingsworth, reported there would be a slight delay before the work could proceed westerly along No. 2 Highway from Campbell's Corners, due to the necessity of tunnelling under the four-lane highway at that point. CRUSADERS' DANCE The auditorium at Fairfield school was gaily decorated when John Young's Sunday School class, "The Crusaders" of St. Matthew's Church sponsored a dance to raise money for the church extension fund. Marjorie Briggs and John Oribine were conveners for the affair. The floor show featured dances by Joyce Matthews and songs by Norma Wright. Door prizes were won by Mesdames D. Oribine and R. S. Cutler and dance prizes by Sue Weber and Joyce Reed. MOSQUITO PLAGUE AT ALDERSHOT WORST IN YEARS Aldershot, June 2, 1952 - The worst mosquito plague in 15 years has struck Aldershot and most citizens have holed up behind screened doors and windows for the duration. A few hardy golfers who ventured forth last night gave up after the fourth hole. The insects were biting right through their shirts, they reported. There has been a great demand lately for all types of insect repellent, according to F. J. Huffman, local druggist. Even people who have been more or less immune in other years are now seeking some kind of protection from the pests. Mr. Huffman advised the use of insect repellent on the exposed areas of the skin, together with the spraying of clothing with DDT. H. J. Blair of the Niagara Brand Spray Co., Ltd., said today residents could reduce the number of mosquitoes around their homes by using a D.D.T. spray under hedges and bushes. Eavestroughs were a common breeding place, he said, and these should be cleaned out and sprayed. The catch is, of course to find a volunteer in the family who will brave the perils of the out-of-doors to do the spraying. Most citizens seem content to lie low and wait for a spell of hot dry weather to ease the situation.
