for Wilson's.
In the other game Friday Active

Schools Told To
Stress Health
Ccontlnueu from ntsr nnru,

doors of school buildings helps to
some extent, but depending upon
getting rid of flies by swatting
them after they get in is futile. To
deal effectively with flies it is
necessary to do one or both of two
things, according to r. c. Beckett,
state sanitary engineer.
l. Spray with DOT. This product
developed during the war, is eff
fective for weeks after being an
piled. Flies and certain other in
sects are killed after coming into
contact with walls, screens, etc.
which have been treated. even
though the spraying occurred some
time ago.
2. Destroy breeding places of
hles. Proper sanitary precautions
must be taken especially in rural
schools where there are outside
toilets. Also there should be a
place to keep lunches in the school
room, and in One-rOOm schools
where the classroom serves as a
lunchrOOm, as well as in larger
schools where cafeterias are pro-
vided, the children should realize
the importance of cleaning up any
spilled food or crumbs.
Much progress has been made in
dealing with the fly both as a dis
ease carrier and as a nuisance. but
much remains to be done. II is
the hope of the State Board of
Health that each school health
program will include the import
ance Of sanitation in all it's phases
and that Delaware's children will
become active workers in this
campaign against illness and filth.
