Specialist On Mosquito Proven
ton to Address Meeting
Here Feb. 27
Consideration of Bluffton's Sum-
mer Problem Sponsored by
Three Groups

Seeking a solution to the mosquito
problem Bluffton faces every summer,

program was conducted on lines orig
inally practiced by the u. S. govern
nent in cleaning up the Panama Can
al zone.
80ct Eliminated
Lewandowsk is said to have effect
ed an 80 per cent elimination of mos
quitos in Ottawa Hills, community
where residents previously could not
sit out doors in the evenings. AS a

Toledo engineers record established
him as an authority on mosquito con-
troll.
Sponsors of Lewandowski's appear
ance here include the Lions club, the
American Legion and the village
council. They pointed out this week
that the engineer is coming here at
their invitation and that it is not a
commercial proposition with him in

dowski will show pictures provided by
the United States department of ag-
riculture.
In view of the seriousness of this
community's summer mosquito prob
lem, sponsors of the meeting this
