Hope In a low, cream - and - brown - colored buildfing a-t suburbanj New Brunswick, N.J., a teami of re- searchi chemnists is spending valu- able hours these days studYing the sex life of the fly. From this research, Oua Meathieson Chem- ical Corp. revealed l1ast month, has cor-ne a promise of a new pro- duct that may ultimately make the housefly as extinct as the dodo bird. it's a chemnical called Apholate, which when eaten or even walked on-by the Musca domestica (the housefly), renders the iniýect sterîle. Thus the fly 1îves out its 30-day life as before, wjith one, hitch-its eggs, don't hatch. Ohn entomologists hope that Aphol- ate may everntualy eliminate wxhat they say is "the biggest single transmitter of disease." 'The chemnical - originally de- veloped as a cancer cure but abandoned as not too promising ý- is sf111 in the experimental stage. But preliminary field tests show what can be done. I the Florida Keys last summi-er, O.in scientists mixed the sterilant with a "hait" made of cornmeal and sugar and scattered it around. Within a m-lonith, 80 per cent of the fly population on the test isi- andas wipcd out. Olin hopes.to have the product on the market by 1964. It wîll take that long to test al its ef- fects-such as those on other in- sects and even people, And whil@ housewives can contemplafe f ly- f ree homes, buislinessme-ncoan -hope to profit, f00. One example:. If dairymen elim-inafo f lies by sprinkling Apholafe 'around their barns, oows can spend less time swishing off the fles wÎth their tails, have more timne to produco mnilk oontenfiedly.

For twenty years these letters, have been answered by Ettore Solimani, the keeper and custodi-, ian of Juliet's legenidary tornb, where Rom-eo is also said' f be> buried. It was he wio encourag-ed and fostered the legenid that if loyerse visiting the tomib desired 1f e- lonig happiness or asked advice, their wishes w.ould be gr'arited. Letters from- the lovelorn used- to 'pour into Verona. Somye were addressed to "Juliet, Verona," others fo "The Private Secrefary, Juliet Capulet, Verona.." Hec has penned 10,000 replies since 1941, and now lie las re- tired. Girls whio were thinking of jilting their sweethearts were told to think again. 0f his work Solimani said: "I answer the writers' lit tle pra-yers and tell them not 'f0 worry."
