ARGENTINE ANT PAYS RETURN VISIT TO CITY
Commission Decides To Let Citizens Fight Pest Without Municipal Aid

IL was officially announced t the city hall Thursday morning that full communications between Birmingham ana Argentina were believed to have been reopened ana 1t was evident that there was an interchange between the two points Judging from the way Bir mlngham people were notifying city officials about the renewed presence of the Argentine ant.
 The ant was canned, literally, last year, but the poison put in the cans attached to trees seems to have eVap- orated, the cans rusted and now the ant IS back on the job, heading for the water pipes of refrigerators where he feasts on the bacon left from breakfast and the roast left from dinner, to say nothing of get ting into the pantry and making life hldeou1 for housekeepers.
 From all points in town there has been growing volume in number and tone of telephone calls and the citizens are asking the municipality salaried people, how come?"
 When the ant campaign was put on last year the city spent $4,200 for poison and equipment, but it is not going to do that again. The way for rellef has been pointed out; cans are Tree, for any empty baking powder can with top, will do, and the poison can be bought at seed and paint stores, drug stores ,tco, for that mat ter, and 1t doesn't cost much.
 Several letters have been received, one in particular Thursday morning, complimenting the city officials on the first campaign and suggesting another, but city officials Thursday decided that it was not necessary to incur such an expense when the pest can be controlled by indiN iduals and nelghborhoods repeating the simple procedure of year ago at the cost of only little time and a little money.
