The presence in Chicago of the headquarters of the Gorgas Memorial Institute, which offers advice on mos- quito control problems, brought the appeal for assistance to the West, it is believed, for the first time in his tory. Major Edwin M. Skinner, director of mosquito control of the Gorgas Memorial Institute, who is also direct- ing the survey in the Chicago Metro politan area, returned today, after re- sponding to the eastern call. His trip took him to the Maine coast where he surveyed Mount Desert and Cranberry Islands. On the former island are located the summes estates of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and Edsel Ford. Prolific breeding areas of salt marsh mosquitoes were found by Major Skin- ner on Mount Desert Island, even on both sides of the highway connecting the island with the mainland not fu from Bar Harbor. "These conditions are not unusual." said Major Skinner, "but the mosquito population has been increasing in re- cent years, and now the leaders of the summer colony have decided that science must be called upon to rid the beautiful areas of the mosquito pests, just the same as Chicagoans are find- ing mosquitoes objectionable, now that they realize they can be conquered.
