Opens November IL AnG
Will Continue Till 10:
Campaign is Under Di-
rect Sponsorship OF
Local Board OF Health.

Milford is ready for it's sanitary
cleanup and rat control program
starting November 12 till the 10.
All that is needed is a little effort
on the part of all citizens to make
it a success.
A feature of the campaign is
the cooperation of the school au-
thOrities, and through the super
vision of the art department of the
high school, some very attractive
posters have been made by the stu
dents illustrating the campaign.
These will be on display at the
Humes and Pierce Hardware
Stores, where the red squill 2
ounce cans of recommended pois-
on bait will be on sale at cost.
The students at the schools
have been appointed junior rat
control inspectors, and will in
spect their properties to see that
harbOring places for rats will be
removed; and these inspectors will
do a lot of good around home, par
ents take note, and assist them in
their efforts.
This campaign is sponsored by
the local Board of Health, and has
had technical advice from our
county agents of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and the U. S.
Department of the Interior. 1t is
another Milford first in the State
of Delaware, other cities are watch
ing, so let's put it over, do your
part in making Milford a better
place to live in.
The cleanup part of the cam
paign will carry through till No
vember IS, which day has been set
aside for a concerted poison rat
day throughout the city and envir-
Ons. Local feed stores and farm
ers can do a lot to, get rid of rats
on the same day,
AS mentioned before, red suuill
is recommended for rat bait, and is
in the form of a powder. This can
be mOistened with water and mix
ed with hamberger or canned dog
food in the ratio of 1 part squill to
8 parts of meat. A 2-oz. can will
make 18-Ozs. of bait, which can
be made into small patties.
The sqUill can also be made into
a paste and spread on bread, or on
pieces of tomatoes or orange slices.
Red squill is not likely to harm
pets such as dogs and cats, but it
is. a poison and due precaution
should be taken as such. Bats not
eaten by rats should be picked up
the next day.
Do your part for your sake and
for your neighbors. They will ap-
preciate your efforts.
