Is Best Control
OF Sheep Ticks

Dipping of sheep for control OF
sheep-tick gives more satisfactory
results than spraying, and ro-
tenone has been found the safest
and most economical insecticide
for control, according to Frank
Webster, County Extension agent.
Recommendations for control of
sheep tick are based on recent
information received from the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant
quarantine through David Bran
non, Extension EntomoIogist at
Washington State College. A SER
les of tests on sheep tick control
have been conducted during the
past year near Corvallis, Oregon,
under the direction of Arthur
w. Lindquist, of the USDA
bureau. +.s.-.. ...--.... =.
The dipping tests showed that
a mixture of eight ounces of der
ris or cube powder containing S
per cent rotenone gave 100 per
cent control of sheep-tick that
lasted ITO days after dipping.
Similar results were obtained by
the use Of low concentrations of
benzene hexachloride, chlordane
and chlorinated camphene. Wet
table powders were used in all of
the tests. Rotenone gave virtually
the same results as chlorinated
compounds and is from one-fifth
OF one-tenth less expensive.

Briefs
BY LofeI1a Cowden
Asst Extension Agent

Although we're still enjoying
summer days here are some fore
casts on things to look for in new
fall fashions and fabrics. Satins
and failles will be reappearing
in the shops for the new fall
look. New elegance in wrap and
wool of materials are in evidence.
More emphasis is placed on New
textures, such as sheer embroid-
cred woods, jacquard patterned
failles, beautiful brocades, ham,
mered rayon satins with a rippled
surface, and interesting woven
in stripes and threads and dots.
New woods and velveteens are
taking the high light for fall
suits and dresses.
Among the new shades for fall
are mist grey, a very dark
brown, forest green, checks in
subtle color blends, wines and
the ever reliable black with in
terest in weave.
cts not the heat it's stupidity
that makes sunburn so hard to
bear" And to further quote Har-
per's Bazaar, we warn that If
over 1/3 of the body surface is
badly burned; legs, arms, and
back for instance; you need medi-
cal care. Where damaged areas
are small remember that eight
|or nine tablespoons Of bicarbo-
nate Of soda added to a tepid
bath relaxes taut surfaces. Then
apply coat of anethesin ONT
ment and follow later with oil
and more oil and more oil. A
calamine liniment, not lotion, Sc
cured from the drugstore may be
applied in gobs to help.
Freezing is not as tedious as it
sometimes sounds and I still in
sist it's a simple sure way to keep
foods for next winter. Some
simple don't are, don't freeze
fatty foods and expect them to
keep for a long period Of time.
This goes for fat salmon, saus-
ages, butter, or creamed left
overs. Don't expect vegetables to
come out Of the freezer younger
and with more flavor than they
went in to it. Don't try to freeze
vegetables without blanching for
best results and that goes for
leafy vegetables such as chard
and spinach. I like to put greens
through coarse food chopper at
| ter they're lightly blanched for
easy packing.

Cox 10 Be Asked
For Report on
Command Row
White House to Call
For ExpIonotion
Of Guard Controversy

The White House will call for
report from Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Cox, District National Guard COM
mander. on the row between the two
colonels who both claim they should
command the Guard in his absence,
1t was learned today.
Court martial charges which Col.
lie Roy S. Mann filed against Col.
Peyton G. hewitt at the White House
were turned over late yesterday to
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan. Pres
ident Truman's Army aide
Gen. Vaughan said today he will
get in touch with Gen. Cox as soon
as the Guard commander returns
to Washington from Europe next
week. Gen. Cox will asked to
explain the controversy.
Warning Given Year Ago.
There were indications that White
House officials feel the controversy
should have been handled within
the Guard itself instead of being
brought to President Truman, who
oy law is Commander in Chief of
the National Guard here
1t also was learned that the Ma
tional Guard Bureau nearly a year
ago notified the White House that
the command setup was rather
muddled. Neither the Army nor
the White House would comment
on this, however.
Col Mann, who charged that Col.
hewitt failed to carry out an order
of his superior officer, is command
ing officer of the 260th Antiaircraft
Artillery Group and senior senior
officer in Gen. Cox's absence
Nevitt Relies on General Order.
Col hewitt, adjutant general OF
the District Guard, bases his claim
to command the Guard on a gen.
eral order issued April 3, 1947,
signed by Col. hewitt, by order Of
Gen. Cox. In that order, Col.
hewitt is designated as the officer
in command in Gen. Cox's absepce.
Col. Mann contends that such an
order would have to be issued by
authority or direction of the Presi-
dent since Col. Mann outranks Col.
hewitt by almost two years. He also
contends such an order is invalid
since Col. hewitt as a staff officer
would not have command privileges
over troops except those of the Ad-
jutant Generals Department.
Gen. Cox's Office said he will re-
turn to Washington Monday morn

plications by similar community
groups was expressed today by Will

tee chairman. Applications must be

Hearing Set for June !
On Request by Pepco
For Rate Increase

The Public Utilities Commission
announced today that public hear
ings will be held at 10 am. June 7
on the Potomac Electric Power Co. S
recent request for a rate increase.
The hearings will be in the District
Building boardroom.
Pepco's rate increase would add
about 100000 annually to the GUS
toners electric bills and provide the
company with about $1,67900 after
taxes. The increases. if granted,
would add about 10 cents week to
the monthly bills of most customers.
In support of its request, Pepco
cited a decline in earnings caused
primarily by higher coal prices and
"the unprecedented economic con-
ditions which must be met IN order
that its financial integrity may be
preserved"
New Residential Rate.
Some of the more important
changes proposed by Pepco would:
/. Rearrange and clarity the gen.
eral service provisions of Pepco
tariffs. Provisions dealing with ex-
tension of service mains and con-
sumer contributions toward service
connections would be completely
overhauled.
2. A new residential rate would
replace present schedules. Under
the proposed schedule, minimum
bills would be increased from IS
cents to 80 cents and minimum
rate per kilowatt hour of 165 cents
would replace the existing rate of
is cents. Some water heating GUS
toners would receive a maximum
discount of s1.50 month.
Commercial Schedule Change.
8. new commercial schedule
would increase the minimum
monthly charge from IS to 80 cents
and the minimum rate per kilowatt
hour would be 225 cents except for
certain customers.
"A new commercial schedule
would replace the present schedule
for customers with demands in ex-
cess of 10 kilowatt hours per
month.
5. A new commercial schedule
would replace present schedules l
and P and add a fuel clause.
6. Off-peak rates and ratchet
provisions of three existing CON-
mercial schedules would be elimi-
mated so that customers under
proposed schedule would be billed
for their recorded monthly demand
irrespective of the time such de-
mand occurred and demand charges
would be promised on a monthly
rather than an annual basis.
