sects, many of them so tiny that We
cannot imagine they can harm any
thing. But in numbers there is
strength.
Uncle Sam does his best to con-
troll some of our most aggressive
insect foes. What he needs is the
intelligent cooperation of his
nieces and nephews.
Coming to the specific case
against the screw worms, the adults
are known as gray flies. These de-
termined aggressors hang around
stock farms, especially in the South
west. They cause much suffering
to animals and loss to their owners.
The flies may lay as many as
four hundred eggs on the surface
of a wound found on one helpless
animal. In short time, the eggs
hatch, and the larvae feed on the
surrounding tissue until they
mature.
Reaching this stage in their life
cycle, they leave the wound and
tumble to the ground. They make
a protective covering for themselves
in which they pupate. After this
experience of transformation, they
step forth a winged insect with
but one desire-a host on which tc
foist their offspring.
Cattle and sheep are the worst
sufferers. Sometimes, these flies
are so abundant that they destroy
calves. Slight scratches from wire
| fences, thorns or horns, causing
blood to flow, will attract other
flies which infect the wounds. Thus
the place is prepared for the screw
worm adult. The poor animals are
helpless.
In 1885, screw worms cost us, in
valuable animals lost, S23, 3,331.75
Evening star., 1943-07-15

Applying these figures to the live
stock population of that period, 1t
is estimated that there were 3.245 300
cases of screw worms. This cost, in
labor and treatment, $2,650, 900.
Even with intensive efforts against
them, it is estimated that the losses
over the country will amount to
81 1000, 900 per year. The gray flies
and their offspring are costly foes.

DECISION GIVEN
IN FHA'S FAVOR
Government Projects Not
Obligated to Comply
With Regulations Here

The Federal Housing Administra-
ton no longer has to comply with
Waterbury's building regulations in
the erection of either permanent"
or temporary" dwellings, it was
declared by U. S. District Judge J.
Cullen Ganey.
This new order brings to the sur
face again the argument two years
ago between City Plumbing Inspec-
tor James R. Walker of this city and
the authorities in charge of the con-
struction of the local government
housing projects. Inspector Walker
had the plumbers employed on the
job arrested because their work
did not comply with the city's
plumbing specifications. Later,
however, the federal government Sc
cured an injunction against the city
preventing the later from interior
ing with the work in connection
with the housing project.
However, Inspector Walker said
today that the local controversy
is now closed despite Judge Ganey's
decision. He added that the type
Of plumbing now being installed is
far better quality and almost meets
the city's specifications than that
installed in the early project.

THREE MOVIES

Three short motion pictures
were shown to members of the
Hardin Kiwanis club by George
w. Gustafson at the regular
luncheon meeting of the club
Wednesday.
The first of the series was
"The Farmers Wife" and de-
pirted a wartime farm mother
with two sons in the armed
forces doing an ever-greater
number of tasks and at the
same time acting the dual role
of "co-ordinator ond eXpeditor'
on her own farm front"
The second, "Your American
Tragedy" showed how careless
ness of the average American
last year caused 10000 fires in
U. S. timber and range land.
"Orchids" portrayed in color
the great variety and the pc
culiar characteristics of this
TROPICAL American flower.

TRAVELLING SOUTH HARDIN STREETS
DOUBTFUL DUE TO LABOR SHORTAGE
Council Discusses
Street Conditions Al
Regular Meeting

Unsurfaced streets in the city
of Hardin was the principal
topic of discussion at the regu-
lar meeting of the city council
Tuesday night.
The bad condition of the dirt
streets had already been brought
to the councils attention, it was
pointed out. Some of the reas-
onS why it will be difficult to
remedy the condition were
brought out at the meeting.
1t was pointed out that all en-
isting open gravel pits are mo
longer producing and that new
pits must be discovered. If, as
Is rumored, the county opens a
new pit about five miles south
west of the city, it may be pos
sible to do a limited amount OF
work on some of the worst
spots, if sufficient manpower
and equipment could be obtain
ed, 1T was stated.
Many street areas would have
to be built up to grade before
any surface material could be
applied, and others would have
to be cut, it was shown. This
would entail a great deal OF
preliminary work before any
gravel could be laid. It was also
acknowledged that without a
proper base, the gravel would
soon disappear, and the money
spent would be wasted.
Another important piece OF
business was transacted when
Carl A. Quarnburg was awarded
the contract for garbage re-
moval beginning Mar. 9. He is
to receive $40 per month and
is to furnish the dump ground.
The contract calls for removal
every weekday morning from
the two business alleys and
once per week from all other
districts except from June 81 to
Sept. 81. when the garbage Is
to be collected twice a week. q
surety bond in the sum of $1,000
for faithful performance is Ia
be furnished. Only two Other
bids: both much higher, werr
received.
Also discussed was the advis-
ability of removing stop signs
on Custer avenue north from
Third street, leaving those on
the east side of the street at
Fourth: the library corner. and
at Eighth, the end of Custer
avenue.
The council passed an ordi-
nance increasing the nav al
the police judge from $16.66 pei
month to SIS per month, eff
fective after May 3.
