Clay Center Plans
Water System

Ottawa County's newest incor-
porated village Of Clay Center may
soon have its own municipal water
system as the village council has
approved an ordinance to investi-
gate possibilities of purchasing a
$6S,000 system.
Mayer Glenn Novotny stated
that the ordinance was designed
as sounding board of public
opinion to bring the matter to a
head. The $6S,0O0 total includes
acquisition of land, construction
of the waterworks plant, installa-
tion OF water mains and other
equipment.
Financing of the system would
be through the issuance of mort
gage revenue bonds, including a
franchise to operate in the event
Of default.
A canvass of residents Of the
village is planned to further test
public reaction and determine the
potential number of subscribers
to such a system. Last year a
street lighting system was in
stalled in Clay Center.

Christmas Toys
Should Be Safe

Many of the Christmas shop
pers crowding the stores are go
ing to purchase toys. Their pur-
chases may have an important
bearing on child accidents for the
next year, in the opinion of J. c..
Hiestand, President of the Ohio
State Safety Council.
Everyone wants his gift to bring
pleasure and happiness to child
rem. Yet, unless toys are care
fully chosen, some youth will be
injured by the plaything. There's
such an endless variety displayed
this year that harmless items can
be selected for the small fry"
Hiestand said.
Small toys CT small removable
parts, may find their way into
the child's windpipe, resulting in
a quick trip to the hospital. Flam-
mable toys and those with sharp
edges are especially dangerous.
Painted objects may be chewed,
with stomach upsets following.
All playthings for those under
three years old should be durable
and soft or with we'll rcuded edges.
Keep them small and light enough
for easy handling. Toys that can
be pulled or pushed are always
welcomed. These should be well
made so they will not splinter.
Other pre-school youngsters like
things they can ride or put to-.
gether. Be certain the mobile
toys are well banalanced to reduce
falls. Construction outfits should
be free from splinters and sharp
edges. These little folks like cut
outs. Blunt-end scissors can be
obtained that will cut paper but
won't damage furnishings, cloth
ing, fingers or eyes.
Once the child is in school he
begins to want things similar to
mothers or dads. ALI electrical
toys should carry the Underwrit-
er's Laboratories approval stick
er. Tools should be carefully
chosen to reduce the hazard to the
youth and the furniture. Watch
for places that can pinch small
fingers.
Air rifles, chemistry sets, dart
games, bows and arrows, sharp
tools, and electrically powered de-
vices are dangerous unless used
under parental supervision. Adults
should become familiar with in.
structions on these toys before
Christmas day arrives.
1t is a good idea to inspect toys

The Japanese beetle no longer
is the pest it once was in the
Washington area.
Entomologists at the University
Of Maryland who are directing the
beetle control program in Mary
land. said today the peak of the
Jap beetle influx appears to have
been reached, and the beetles
seem to be on the decline in the
Metropolitan area.
Observers in nearby Virginia
also noted a decrease in beetles
this year. In both Fairfax and
Loudoun Counties the infestatiton
appeared to be "spotty," with less
d mag reported generally
throughout the section.
In some other areas Of Mary
land-principally upper Mont
gomery and parts of Frederick
and Howard Counties-however
the beetle peak has not yet been
reached.
Control Brings Results.
E. L. Gilbert, who works with
DR.. George Langord. in charge of
the Free States beetle control
program. said control measures
in progress during the last few
years are beginning to bring re-
suits.
He said these measures consist
of spraying to kill the adult
beetles, and the distribution of
milky white disease spore dust
and colonies of tiphia wasps to
destroy the beetles in the grub
stage.
Milky disease spore dust estab-
fishes the milky disease among the
beetle grubs. The tiphia wasp
destroys the grubs by singing and
depositing its eggs in the grubs
The wasp larvae then feed on the
paralized grubs.
Mr.. Gilbert said colonies of
tiphia wasps. brought to this
country from the East by the Agri-
culture Department, have multi
piled rapidly in Maryland. He
said colonies were captured and
redistributed this year from those
first established in the State.
Feeds on Beetle Grubs.
The tiphia wasp does no eco
nomic damage, Mr.. Gilbert said.
1t is parasite, depending on the
beetle grubs for it's life cycle. The
adult wasp feeds on nectar from
trees.
Mr.. Gilbert said control meas

japanese Beetles Past Peak,
Reported Declining in Area

ures have been successful in de-
creasing the beetle peaks from
about five years to from one to
three years. He said in Hartford
and Baltimore Counties. and in
most of the counties on the East
ern Shore, Japanese beetles no
longer can be considered the No.
l pest.
"In these areas, Mr.. Gilbert said.
farmers no longer consider it
necessary to fight the beetles as
they did few years ago."
Entomologists predicted that,
as natural enemies of the beetle
increase, the insects will cease to
be of prime economic Importance.
This trend already is beginning to
be evident in many sections.

Better Business Unit
Protests Bill Revising
.0ptometry Practice

day entered pfOCeSC WlCH IIle
Senate District Committee against
a. use-approved bill revising
regulations governing the practice
of optometry here.
Mrs. Sally Muchmore, assistant
director of the bureau, wrote
Chairman Margaret Chase Smith
and other members of the Senate
District subcommittee considering
the bill that the bureau opposes
it ION the same grounds" as a
similar measure on which the Dis
trict Commissioners held a public
hearing last March.
At that time the bureau sub
mitted a statement describing the
bill as "unwarranted and without
merit" as we'll as detrimental to
the health and financial interests"
of District citizens.
Detriment to Public Seen.
1t also charged the measure was
designed primarily to further the
interests of certain optometrists
practicing in the District" rather
than benefit "the citizens who
are in need of eye examinations
and proper glasses"
The House bill was introduced
originally by Representative Miller.
Republican, of Nebraska, and was
objected to by the Better Business
Bureau because of the restric-
tive provisions against advertis-
ing optometrical services or glasses
to the public at a given price or on
a credit basis.
These prohibitions, the bureau
said at the time, would work a
severe detriment to the buying
public in that the consumer would
be unable to determine a reason
able or standard price for opto-
metrical services or glasses and
would require such consumer to
pay whatever fee for services and
whatever price for glasses the
limited number of optometrists
practicing in the District of
Columbia would see fit to demand.
Healthy competition, the bu-
reau added, would be destroyed
at the monetary expense of the
citizens of the District"
Would Vest Power in Board.
The bill also would have vested
in Board of Optometry the right
to establish rules of ethics govern
ing the practice of optometry here.
Such provision, the bureau said,
would give the board "unbridled
freedom of action, including the
power to prohibit employment of
licensed optometrists by corpora
tions or other mercantile estab-
lishments."
After the public hearings, when
numerous protests were voiced
against the bill. including one from
the Greater Washington Retail
jewelers., Representative Miller in
troduced second bill. This meas
ure empoQled some compromises
and was substantially the one ap-
proved by the House in June.
The new measure would modify
the restrictions on advertising to
the extent that an advertiser, still
prohibited from listing the price
of such services or the terms of
credit, could include in an adver-
tisement "a single statement an
nouncing the fact that optometric
services may be obtained on
credit
Attorney Henry H. Brylawski,
representing the Greater WASH
ington Retail jewelers., said this
organization withdrew its opposi-
ton to the measure, after the COM
promise proposals were adopted.
William P. McCracken, repro-
senting District optometrists, de-
Tended the legislation as being in
the public interest and said he
knew of no pending opposition
to it.
