Y. N. c. A. Opens WAR
AGAINST PESKY FLY

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion took the first step in their "Swat
the Fly" campaign on Saturday night,
when a number of stereopticon views
illustrating the development of the
common house fly and methods of ex-
terminating it were shown on screen
at the association building.
The "swat the fly campaign" which
will be conducted by the Young Mems
Christian Association will open this
morning and will continue until Satur-
day, June 6. All boys of Wilmington
are eligible TO compete IN the contest
for the prizes which have been donated
as the reward for those killing the
greatest amount of flies during the
time of the contest. The flies are to
be taken to the headquarters at the as
sociation building, securely wrapped in
paper bags There me flies killed will
be weighed and the executioner credited
with the weight of the flies.
Il is proposed to make the campaign
not only war against the flies which
may now be flying, but also against
prospective flies, by destroying the
breeding places. To do this it is nee
essary to educate the people to the nee
essity of eliminating the breeding places
to demonstrate the most common breed
ing places, and the most effective meth
ods of destroying these breeding places.
