Though hundreds of thousands be-
hind Fitzgerald. present holder OF
first place In the July contest, Burdette
is confident his club will finish the
month in first place. Until two weeks
ago the club had held first place since
last May. but II found Fitzgerald a
most persistent worker. The army OF
swatters at the school will continue to
work daily. and the traps will be kept
working by small details appointed by
the officers of the club.
The first trap made by Burdette this
season measured six feet in length by
