Mayor Echternavgh had with him Mr. Finn, rep»eeentii»g the Chamber of Commerce; Mr. Dowell, of the Marengo Republican News; Vocational Agriculture teacher, Robert Vogan; and Hatcheryman, Paul Whalen, at our meeting last Thursday night to discuss the Illinois "Fly Free" Campaign. They mean business, so I'd hate to be a fly J own that way tlds summer. Mayor Spooner of Hebron sent Alvin Schmidt, the vocational agriculture teachei- there, who plans to encourage co-operation in Hebron. Mayor Johnson, of Woodstock, who invited the mayors of all cities and the presidents of all villages in the county, told about how Woodstock got started on the D. D. T. spraying program last year after the five cases of polio in Woodstock in 1946. Nona were reported last year. He said they used about 1400 pounds of 50 per cent water wottable D. D. T. powder last year and ttt city spent about f 1000 for materials and spraying. Tber plan on putting the same amount of money into the deal this year, which will mean more spraying, because D. D. T. is about half the price this year as it was last Sanitary Engineer Vhilbin, of the state health department district office at Woodstock, mowed a 01m and made a brief talk on the house fly. He said the fly is by all standards the FILTHIEST insect on the face of the globe. It breeds in rotting material and seldom goes more than 1000' yards- from that place if it can get food within that radius and most flies never go over 100 yards. From this it can be seen that most people breed their own misery. H{ said further that if flies could not get into tick rooms and what goes with tjtem, diseases woald fl extinct a vary short whfle. ftammertime diseases like typhoid, dysentery, etc., are definitely fly bornfe. Aa fly, when caught, haa been found to carry almost all disease heard of. They eat their food by lifting on it, expunging a saliva from their inaides to soak up the food and then sop it up again with their sponge type mouth. \When they do this they leave the well known fly speck. He says a town may look clean jwhen you drive down Main street, I but the test is to drive down the , alleys back of the grocery stores and j restaurants, out to tha garbage disposal area, etc. Ha add a single ipair of flies could reproduce themi selves to the extent of 191. with 18 {zeros after it. Some family. ! Mrs. Sweeney, home adviaer, who was present, said the farmer's wife is i on her toes on this, fly problem and | if she can get the men folk to haul that straw stack bottom out, many [of her problems would be solved. | Folks in town should not pile up • grass clippings. Flys will breed in j them, too. L. A. Lafand, manager of the McHenry County Service company, said a farmer can spray completely j for a year for about $8 on the {average sized farm. I What is your mayor or Village lpresident doing about flies? By j using the usual reaction pattern as la guide where people who are doing [a- good job like to come and tell | about it, the rest of the towns aren't doing much about fiy control. Are Jwe right? It is our opinion that about 90 per cent of our farmers are spraying for complete control with D. D. T.

In 1647 tha British parliament chartered the Company of "Eleutherian Adventurers" and vested in it tha proprietorahip of the ialand group aoutheast off Florida's coast. For their first settlement the colonists chose the narrow island that retains the old group name, Eleuthera, most fertile in the Bahamas. For their second they spread westward to New Providence, whose good harbor became Nassau, permanent center of Bahamas commerce and travel. Despite the colonists' success, Charles II in 1670 gave the islands to new proprietors. Spanish, French and pirate raiders hampered colonization. Among the 3,000 islands, keys and rocks are many bays and creeks well suited for pirate lairs. English, Spanish, Dutch and French ships were the prey of "Blackbeard," Captains Watling, Vane, Avery, Speed and others. Order your rubber stamps at-The Plainde&ler.
