Hard Time Ahead for
Malarial MOSQUITO

! The mosquito is going to find life
in Georgia just a little bit harder this
year than ever before. And, by the
same token, the coming of summer
will count fewer malaria victims in
Georgia than in many years past. The
answer may be found in the vigorous
fight against the malaria mosquito
now waged throughout south Georgia
by the South Georgia Land Owners
association, the state board of health,
service and other. organiza tions CO.
operating in an effort to stamp out
malaria, long the bane of south Geor-
gia counties.
The fight began early in April,
when three anti-mosquito, anti-1na-
laria motion pictures made by the
state board of health, were sent out
accompanied by speakers and Red
Cross movie men and Red Cross
movie equipment to tour the southern
part of the state. Already the coun-
ties of Camden, Charlton, Baker, Mil
Ter, EARLY, Quitnian- and Randolph
have been visited, and on the sched-
ties of Ware, Decatur, Terrell and
others, The tour will continue
throughout the summer, until all
counties in the southern part of the
state have been visited.
In each county from three to six
Shows are being given and unusual
interest is being manifested by men,
women and children in the pictures
and the accompanying lecture. The
pictures show clearly and forcibly
how malaria is spread, principally by
the female of one breed of mosquitoes
and how this breed can be stamped
out by the use of oil, dredging the
swamps and other methods. In the
wake of the picture tour anti-mos-
quito clubs are being formed and
take active measures for combating
the malaria mosquito.
