FEAR FLIGHT OF MOS

The recent rains in Key West
are the cause of the appearance
of millions of mosquito larvae
(wiggle tailS) in the pools of wa
ter remaining; salt marsh mos
quito eggs laid on the ground
have Matched out.
In addition to its regular Aedes

troll work for disease prevention
the u. S. Public Health Service
is temporarily helping the W.P.A.
Mosquito Control Project spon-
sored by the Monroe County
Health Department to oil these
pools in an attempt to prevent
a sudden infestation of adult salt
march mosquitoes into Key West.
These mosquitoes are not disease
carrying species but are very an
noying.
These emergency activities on
the island of Key West will be
completely nullified, though, if
the salt marsh mosquitoes from
some other key (or keys decide
to fly over here. Protection
from mosquito troubles is OBJ
tanned by the expansion of local
forces into a regular and per-

combat all kinds of mosquitoes.
Salt marsh mosquitoes can fly
as far as forty miles when they
decide to make a flight.

ECSTASY TO BE
SHOWN TONIGHT

The uncensored version of the
motion picture Ecstasy" will be
shown might at II o'clock at the
Monroe Theatre in the first of
two midnight performances.
Ecstasy" is the film that was
originally banished by the U. S.
Government. 1t was produced in
Czechoslovakia and is in English
with beautiful music. The film
has had hectic career through
out the entire world. 1t is frank
and to the point.
Hedy Lamar, the star of the
picture, has received praise from
Max Reinhardy. who labels her
as 1.-THE Lovliest Girl in Europe.
Ecstasy" is her first motion pic
ture, and from present indica-
tons it will be her last, for her
husband, Fritz Mandel, president
of Austria's Nuremberg Ammuni-
ton Works, is determined that
she shall not appear in any other
motion picture, and is making
every endeavor throughout Eu-
rope as well as America to buy
up all copies of Ecstasy.
1t is said that Miss LAMAR gives
one of the most poetic express
sions that the camera has ever
recorded. Ecstasy" was consid-
cred the finest picture at the In
ternational Film Congress held at
Venice, Italy, competing with
American films, such as Little
Women, Death Takes A Holt
day., Viva Villa, Wonder
Bar" and "The Invisible Man"
The intelligence with which the
theme is handled is what has
caused this film to be elevated
to the heights it has attained.
