SUPERVISOR THOMAS AN.
NouNcEs PROJECT TO
START IN TWO WEEKS

WPA Area Supervisor Wallace
Thomas announced this morning
that a Mosquito Control project
for Key West has been approved
by the President and activity will
begin probably in two weeks.
Mr.. Thomas said that these ac-
tivities will be of larger scope
than heretofore with plans to
connect all pools. ponds and
bitches to allow easy access for
mosquito-eating minnows. This
means that in a brief time all of
the small ponds and bitches will
be filled with the larvae-devour-
ing fish.
The area supervisor said that
he did not have any information
as to the specific time of the re-
lease of funds, but believed that
it would not be more than 10
days or two weeks at the latest
when his office would be advised
that funds are made available.
Mr.. Thomas also said that the
project for the construction of
sanitary out houses in poorer
sections of the city would start
Wednesday morning, September
20, but did not know how many
men would be put to work in the
beginning. The force may be in
creased beyond present needs.
In some places the cost of the
structures is higher than in
others, but he had been informed
that the units in Key West would
cost property owners not more
than SIS, as forms for the con-
crete part of the structure may
be used in any number of units.

Durinq Partial EcIipse

Residents of the District, looking
skyward at 1l:40 am. today, saw
only six-sevenths of the sun.
The other seventh, according to
the United States Naval Observa-
tory, was obscured by the moon in
an annular eclipse, the like of which
occurs an average of once year.

Willis, astronomer at the observa-
tory, said. The phenomenon was ap-
parent in all States of the Union,
except Florida. in varying degrees,
Mr.. Willis added. Californians could
see only half the sun, Texans four
f1fths. In Idaho three-fifths of the
sun was obliterated.
Although use of dark glasses made
the celestial traffic spectacle more
distinct, the eclipse was discernibl<
here with the naked eye, Mr.. Willis
explained. 1t began here at 1851
am. and was completed at 12:3l
