Plans to aid every school child
with defective vision will be dis
cussed in Dover on Friday at a
staff conference of the division of
special education of the State De-

meet with the group to discuss
follow-up methods for children

goal of school health officials is
special clinics for students needing
attention. Local physicians and
service clubs are being asked to
aid in the program. According to
Mrs. Ruth L. Tyndall, coordinator
of the division of special education,
many children now in school have
visual defects. She added that SER
ious eye defects can be averted by
early intervention. The division OF
special education feels every child
in the state should be given COM
plete visual examination early ir
school life. In many schools
screening tests have been given by
the school nurse, psychologists, and
State Board of Health. Need fol

NOVEMBER II
RAT BAIT DAY
Rat determination Campaign
Set To Coincide With
"Waste Less" Program
PREFERRED BAIT

This is the third in a series of
articles on the rat control cam
paign sponsored by the Delaware
Extension Service.
Since this program has coincid.
ed with President Truman's re-
quest to 'sWaste Less, it is fitting
and proper to attack and kill the
rat.
Remember this date, Novembei
18th as Bait Day. On this day We
hope all the people of Delaware
on the farm in the towns, and in
the cities will make every effort to
exterminate rats.
Briefly the previous news articles
have discussed these points:
"a The cost of keeping rats (2)
Rat habits (3) Three ways to con-
troll rats: (a) Keep trash cleaned
up, (b) Rat-proof buildings, (c)
Bats and batting, az Some differ
ent poisons that may be used;
Antu, Red Squill, Zinc Phosphide
(5) Pre-baiting.
This weeks article will discuss
the selection of foods to mix with
rat poisons and bait placement.
Rats usually prefer foods differ
ent from those they are normally
eating; fresh foods rather than
canned; moist foods rather than
dry. Here is a list of foods which
fresh hamburger, ground bacon
fresh hamburger, ground becon
sausage, chicken entrials, liver
canned meat, dried dog food, meat
scraps (2) Fish: fresh ground OF
sliced fish, canned fish, cat food (3)
Grains: chicken mash, rolled oats
cornmeal, ground wheat (4)Fruits
Smyrna times., 1947-10-30

apples, ripe tomatoes, oranges, ba-
nanas, contaloupe, watermelon (5)
Vegetables: raw sweet potatoes,
raw carrots, green corn, lettuce (6)
Miscellaneous: ground cake, bread
crumbs, peanut butter, dried milk
powder.
The best time to place bats is
late in the day so this bait will be
fresh when the rats start feeding.
If the bats are moist they
should be about half the size of a
walnut; if dry use level teaspoon
full. If the bait is sliced, use pieces
about l inch square.
A large number of small bats is
better than a few large ones. The
number needed depends on the
number of rats on the premises.
Rats have definite runways or
trails which can be detected by
.droppings, footprints, holes and
marks left by gnawing. Place your
bats in known runways. The pois-
oned food may be put in the bur-
rows but they are not usually TAX
en- as we'll in such locations.
Bats should be placed where
they cannot be reached except by
the rats. They may be placed be,
hind boxes, barrels, or other OBJ
jects, or behind long boards leaned
against wall. A good idea is to
take along a pad and pencil to
record where these bats have beer
placed and then to collect these
bats day or two after.
Remember, Tuesday, November
11th is BAIT DAY!

stated: 1--WE question the existence
of such a majority since, so far as

Tax May Reach S400, 900
Eoch on American Films

LONDON, Aug, 8 tR.-Britain's
new tax on imported motion pictures
will boost film taxes payable before
the movie is shown to as much as
400 times the present levy, it was
estimated today.
The present tax of pence (about
10 cents) per foot amounts to about
81 900 on movie running 100 min
utes, which is about the average
length.
The new tax, taking rs per cent of
the net profits on films exhibition,
will range between $4,000 and
$4,000 on each movie, depending
on its popularity, the Daily Herald
estimated.
However, the new tax is not ex-
pected to hike the cost of admission
to the movies nor their cost to
exhibitors, who usually pay for them
with percentage of the box Office
receipts.
The tax thus would be wholly
borne by the exporters, who in most
cases are the major Hollywood
producers.
London newspapers predicted that
the tax would alter the nature of
film fare, cutting out double fea-
lures and emphasizing revivals of
movies imported before the tax
became effective yesterday.
