July 21, 1928 WINNETKA TALK DEFIANT MOSQUITOES STAGE LAST STAND Hordes of Little Pests Swarm as Rumbling Dynamite Blows Open Skokie Channels The defiant hordes of mosquitoes which have been pestering residents of the north shore for several days and the frequent rumbling blasts from the dynamite explosions over in the Skokie area, are all forceful reminders of the relentless warfare which is being waged throughout this area in the determina- tion to exterminate the little pest. The latter appears to be staging his last stand with renewed vengeance. He apparently realizes he is doomed to go, but is fighting every inch of the ground. The Chicago Sanitary district is plan- ning to go right ahead with its opera- tions, blasting out the remaining lat- erals, main ditches and final openings necessary to insure a quick and com- plete drainage of the Skokie area, with- out which Superintendent William Ed- wards, of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district, says it will be im- possible to rid the section of mosqui- toes. Area Is Large This requires time. The area is large, the work could not be started until late this spring, owing to the flooded Skokie area which prevented the men getting into the field to work, but in which much has already been ac- complished during the ten weeks or more they have been operating, The unusual rains of a week or so ago proved a further handicap and en- abled the mosquito tribe to stage another strong comeback. A. Meier, entimologist from Northwestern university is now working three days a week in the district, de- termining the actual source or breed- ing places of the mosquito. Charles Howe, of Kenilworth, has also joined the Mosquito Abatement district force, as "trouble man," so to speak, and as quickly as complaints come in or requests are received he renders immediate aid without it being necessary to take one of the regular foremen and trucks off of the sche- duled routes, . The mosquito abatement project, it 1s pointed out, has been discussed for ten years or more on the north shore, while actual organized work along that line has been under operation for only that many weeks: therefore, the men who are engaged in the fight feel that a little patience will be as essential up- on the part of the people, as the con- tinued and determined effort, which the Mosquito Abatement district is rendering, to bring about the final eli- mination of the foe.
