SYDNEY - (AP) - The Loch
Ness Monster or something is ter
roizing the unimaginative folks of
Moutain River, on the fringe Of
Tasmania's unknown Conner"
which is the uninhabited extreme
southwest of Australia's island
State. Except for a posse of 20
men securing the hills, Mountain
River people keep indoors at night
because of a phantom" animal
which makes no tracks yet ncighs
like a low-throated horse.
Dogs turn and run. Experienced
bushman Jack Oates no doubt did
likewise when the creature jumped
up five feet ahead of him. He said,
at had a big head and broad
white chest" Place where it had
i bedded down, showed that it was
bigger than dog but smaller than
ia horse. One theory: the creature
/ is a Tasmanian tiger" (thylacinus
cynocephalus) though by most te
be extinct. The tiger was, or is, a
capnivOrous marsupial- like a zebra

Protect Ornamentals
From BagwOrm

Home owners are urged to in
spect their ornamentals for pres
ence of bagworm, according to VIM.
c. Sloan, assistant county agent.
This is the season when this in
sect pest is most destructive and
also is most easily controlled.
Bayworms feed principally on
evergreens but may occasionally
be found on other trees. They can
be identified by the small cone
shaped bag hanging from the
branches and which serve as the
home for the insect.
On small trees hand picking of
the bags is probably the best meth
cd of control If hand picking is
not practical, the following spray
materials are recommended:
Lead arsenate, 6 lbs; water, 1OO
gals; -four, 4 ozs; or Toxaphene a
lbs. $50 wettable powder); water
100 gals.
For further information ON bag
worm control contact the County
Extension Office.

Postal Receipt
Increase Noted

Wilmington was not the only city
or town in Delaware which had a
substantial increase in post office
receipts in the last fiscal year.
A report made public this week
by the office of the postmaster
general, Washington, shows tnat
receipts of the Middletown post Of
fice increased from $14,866 in the
previous fiscal year to S30,777 in
the last fiscal year, more than
double.
Receipts of the Newark post off
ice increased from $59,257 to $780,
ASS. Those of Wilmington increas-
ed from s1,S37 .667 to $2,109,445.
The heaviest increase was at
Hartly, which climbed from $7,033
to $82,631. However, this increase
was due principally to the cigarette
mail order business carried on
there, and when Delaware adopted
the cigarette tax the mail order
business moved to nearby Marydel
in Maryland.
Dover showed a sharp increase
from $175.135 to $293,171, which is
partly, hut only partly, due to Gig
arctic mail order business formerly
conducted there, since closed.
Two communities which suffered
misfortunes have shown slight i'm.
provementlast year: Delaware City

which lost FIT. dupont as an Army
post but gained the Bacon Welfare
Center, increased its post office re
ceipts from $4,4448 to $4,560 from
the 194S to 1949 fiscal year st
Georges, divided by the high leye
fixed bridge over the Chesapeak,
and Delaware Canal, had its pos
Office receipts increased from 1924;
in 194S to $2,743 in 1949.
Most of Delaware's more import
ant cities showed increases: Bird
geville from $13,786 to $16,303
Claymont from s24,265 to $27, ,92o
Georgetown from $30,S43 to $S3,
48I; Harrington from $16,263 t
$18,767; Laurel from $24,556 to $28,
S09; Lewes from $23,O16 to $24,282
Milford from $68,703 to $75,857
Newark from $59,257 to $780,
New Castle from $33.O6S to $3S, ,458
Rehoboth Beach from $25,S51 t
$2S,2O5; Seaford from $42,0O8 t
$44 4,46S; Selbyville from $33,036 t
$40,752; Smyrna from $21,064 t
$22,OO5.
One community was apparent
fairly static. Little Creek had re
ceipts of 1854 in the last previou
year, So less than in the previou
fiscal year. Stockley took a shaT
drop, from 1887 to 1926 in the las
fiscal year. Viola lost $50 in re
ceipts and had $736 in the last tis
cal year.
Grubbs post office receipts in tn
1949 fiscal year were $1,303, whic
is SO less than in the previous fl
cal year.
Greenwood's receipts rose fro
$8,O37 in the 1948 fiscal year
$9,324 in tn last fiscal year an
those of Greenville from S11, 500
194S to $13,311 in 1949.
Christiana gained $62, and hs
receipts of $1,066 in the. last fisc
year compared with $1,000 in Il
1949 fiscal year.
Bethany Beach. with an increa

.Dogwood Planting
Time Is In January

Raleigh-5,000 Towering shrubs
will be added to the blooming beau
ty of North Carolina this year, ac-
cording to plans of the Dogwood
Planting Committee of the State
Garden clubs, as announced by Mrs.
R. J. Pearse, State Chairman.
Officially, the last week in Janu-
ary is dogwood planting week but
paintings already are in progress
and will continue throughout Feb
ruary. North Carolina Garden clubs
have planted $4,000 seedlings and
small dogwoods since the shrub was
officially named the State flower by
the 1941 State Legislature, in four
war-interrupted programs.
This year, in material going out
to Garden Club members through
out the state, appeal is made to bird
lovers to ''plant dogwood for birds
as we'll as beauty. According to
Mrs. Eve F. Jenson, past president
of the North Carolina Bird club,
"By actual count, more than 80
varieties of birds feed on dogwood
berries"
Instructions for planting and
nourishing dogwood, tender plant
in infancy but very hardy after the
second year, may be obtained from
the commercial nurseries, from The
Tar Heel Gardener, Mr.. John Harris,
N. C. State College, Raleigh, and
from Forestry Division, Mr.. P. A.
