Marine Corps Air Depot
Wins Mosquitoe War

CHERRY POINT, N. c., July 81.
Through use of the newest wea-
pons in an unrelenting war on
the anopheles mosquito at this Ma
rine Corps Air Station, malaria has
been virtually eliminated in an area
that formerly had the highest death
rate from that disease in North
Carolina.
This has been accomplished in
spite of the fact that a considerable
number of Marines back from over
seas are infected with malaria.
These would be source of infec-
ton to others if anopheles mosqui-
toes were allowed to infest the base.
Malaria is contracted only through
the bite of an anopheles mosquito
that previously has bitten an in
fected person.
Equipment employed in the con-
slant attack on mosquito larvae
and adults includes a unique spray
plane, a jeep with death=dealing
exhaust, a spray boat, mobile
power sprayer and individual por-
table sprayers for members of the
inspection crew. The ammunition
is fuel oil to destroy larvae, and
DOT, the wonder chemical, to kill
both larvae and adult insects.
Malaria control operations are
under the supervision Of Lieutenant
Kenneth Ellsworth Anderson,
USNR, who earlier In the war
directed the draining of the Saler-
no sWamps in Italy to combat ma
laria and received a special com
mendation for the effectiveness of
his work.
Members of the inspection crew
cover the entire base once each
week searching for mosquito larvae
and spraying infested areas with
oil. In a tract of approximately
10000 acres there are go streams
emptying into the Neuse River and
into Slocum and Hancock Creeks.
The spray boat, carrying 300 gal
Ions of oil, is used on the larger
streams, while men on foot spray
along the smaller creeks. Both the
anopheles and various pest mos
quitoes are their victims.
The spray plane, specially con-
structed Stearman N2S-3 equipped
with centrifugal force atomizing
head, expels liquid DOT in the
form of a heavy fog WHICH de-
scends on a strip $50 feet wide
with each run. This plane is op-
Grated over all sections of the base,

U. S. INFANT CARE
PLAN LlBERALlZED

RALEIGH, July 2o.-R-The
State Health Department annoInc-
ed today that the federal govern

Infant care program had been IL
beralized to include wives Of serv-
ice men who have been homorably

The new interpretatio said Dr.

The applicant must have been

her husband was in the service.

ren's Bureau of the Department Of
Labor, but are channeled through
the state board of health.
Under it, all medical and hospi
tai bills of wives of service mer
in the four lowest grades of the
service are paid in maternity cases.
During the fiscal year which ended
July 1. $99O,O00 was spent Under
the program in North Carolina. Oh
the total, $977, 724 was paid doctors
and hospitals for prenatal, obste-
trical and post partum care and
for the disqualification of wives and
babies.
Since the program was launched
in 1912, the state board of health
has handled approximately 31,00l
cases.

covers the station is regulated ac-
cording to requirements. Traps to
catch both larval and adult forms

mosquitoes which are directly ex-

tact with it later. Rather than being
poisonous to mosquitoes, it is be-

be said that the mosquitoes run
themselves to death"
The latest weapons devised by
Lieutenant Anderson and engineers
of the station public works depart
ment is the "skeeter jeep." This
is a regular jeep equipped with a
tank for DOT and a device which
utilities the motor exhause to spray
the chemical. It is being used at
night in the built-rp areas of the
base.

 There is still time to SOW seed ot calendula, cosmos and Drummond's phlox. Seeding plants of the others should be purchased at florist and garden shops and set out immediate ly. And, quite, naturally, annuals prefer good soil, vel drained and plenty of sunshine, with watering whenever the soil bones dry.

Let Foreign Girls Wait While Our Girls Have Chance At GIs

the home town girl faithfully - he met an English girl at dance, and in a few months found himself en- gagged to her.
 GIVE GIRLS A CHANCE
 Now Uncle Sam could rush that girl through to America to marry Joe. Or he could let her wait awhile. That would give the home town girl Or some other American girl chance to have as good a try at Joe as the English girl had.
 If, however, the English girl is the love of Joe's life and he of hers, they'll wait a year or two for each other.
 But why not give American girls break by letting them have at least as good a chance at catching American men as foreign girls have had since the start of the war?

Orange Tid-Bits

Have you noticed the abundant supply of small oranges on the market recently? Mother Nature haG produced millions of these small oranges this season. and comparatively few of the larger sizes.
 But these small oranges are mighty good. Thin skinned! Sweet! Used plentifully, they spare precious rationed sugar. Fine flavor. Bursting with juice! Just as rich in vitamins c. A and B and in calcium and other mineral food elements. All you need do to get your morning supply of vita min C. rich juice is to use more oranges, until your glass is filled. And when packing the lunch boxes, use two or three oranges instead of one.
 Accustom yourselves to using more oranges this season - so you will be sure of your daily supply Of the very important vitamin c. It's a smart idea to buy by the bagful in or dozen lots.
