Everything points to it . The American Legion has scheduled its annual carnival; Marine Festival week has been set, and the city of McHenry has contracted to keep residents free of mosquito bites. The gentleman responsible for providing the very necessary mosquito control visited us recently to explain just how it 's done. No matter that snow was heavy on the ground and the temperature had dipped to the teens. This was his job and no thrust of winter could deny the pleasure he took in preparing for the season ahead. Without spraying, there are considered to be about seventy- four days during which mosquitoes provide a nuisance above the accepted level. It is possible to reduce the amount of spraying done on streets by engaging in a spraying operation on breeding sites. Aerial surveys are helpful-in fact necessary - in determining what areas are in need of at­ tention. The firm representative pointed out that the state of Il l inois feels the safest and most effective method of larvae control is by helicopter. Lar- viciding by helicopter is done three times annually. A hot-line program is being instituted this year which will provide local residents with immediate contact with the firm in cases where there is a special need. More information will be available when the 1975 mosquito-persons (female all) earry on their stinging ways. K.A.F.
