Rat Banquet" Set
For November 5

A countrywide RAT BANQUET" is
scheduled to start on November 5,
in Madison County, according to a
report from the Agricultural Ex-
tension Office. All farmers and ur-
ban dwellers are encouraged to set
their bats out on November 5. All
and FLA clubs are going to sell
the warfarin at a much reduced
price during the last two weeks in
October. If you are not contacted,
following are the places you can
obtain the already mixed bait:
Darby Township-Jack Mercer
for the Vocational Agriculture De-
partment at Plain City High
School; Canaan Lloyd Roby;
Pike-Mr. and Mrs. Paul Overturf:
Jefferson-Vocational Agricultural
Department or Don Rebel; Deer
creek-Gene Harbage; Monroe
Russell Lightle; Somerford-Mrs.
Gladys Francis at Brakes Store;
Union-Cameron Green or the
London Vocational Agriculture De-
partment; Paint-M ak Dunkle:
Range-Harold Brill; Stokes-Ed
Vallery; Oak Run-Harley De-
ment; Pleasant-Albert Anderson;
Fairfield-Eldon Harsh.
One rat will cost you $500 per
year, and you can easily get rid
of him with l to SC worth of bait.
Rats and mice are a menace to
both farmers and urban dwellers
in the following ways: a carrier of
human disease; waste and destroy
foods, both for human consump-
ton and livestock; destroys food
and flower, etc.
1t is the desire that everyone
cooperate SO we can save Madison
County hundreds of dollars by
killing off the costly rats. The
Warfarin bait will be put out for
the rats on November 5, and
should be made available for two
weeks or longer. This is one bait
that a rat will not become suspic-
Gus Of 1t will take five pounds of
bait to treat the average size farm
buildings, 10 pounds if there are
many rats and mice or many
buildings. Bait stations should be
used to protect warfarin bait and
to prevent accidental poisoning OF
domestic animals. These stations
can be made by using an old crate
placed in a darkened area that will
allow only rats and mice to enter
and prevent larger animals from
going in. 1t is good to put your
poison bait and also water in these
stations. 1t is important that bait
stations be placed in most al
buildings. Be sure to encourage
your neighbors to do the same
Otherwise, their rats may move ir
to become your rats. Remember
November 5 is the date for the
first meal of the RAT Banquet"

Vandalism Is
Major Problem

According to sheriff Harold
Bidwell, vandalism is becoming a
major problem for law enforce
ment in the county. The sheriff
cited several cases of willful de-
struction of property in different
areas. The sheriff said that van
dals will be punished to the full
extent of the law if caught.
Leroy Miller, Perry road, near
Plain City, reported that vandals
had knocked down 120 shocks of
corn on his farm. The vandals
scattered the stalks over a wide
area, it was said. Miller then re-
shocked the corn and the vandals
returned and repeated the act.
Deputy Herb Markley reported
that vandals had also damaged a
tractor and that 25 bales of
straw were piled in the middle of
the King road recently.

Retail Merchants
Meet Here / uesday
Plans Laid For
Retail Group

Thirty five London retail mer-
chants attended meeting in the
council chamber Tuesday evening,
Oct. IA and heard a talk by George
Hammond of the Ohio Retail Mer-
chants Association.
Hammond's talk was followed
by a general discussion of retail
merchandising and its problems.
While the prospect of retail or
ganiZation in London has not been
definitely decided upon, the group
appointed a temporary committee
to consider the proposition, it was
said.
Robert Wood was made tempor-
airy chairman of the board which
consists of Bill Dwyer, Robert
Dav, Dell Chambers and Chauncey
Snow.
Present plans call for a survey
and membership drive to deter
mine how many of the London
merchants are interested in such
an organization.
The present board will set up
policy and bylaws with the pros
pect of forming a local group. Too,
it was decided that a retail mer-
chant" is anyone who buys goods
from wholesaler to sell at retail.
1t was explained that this rule
would apply in any case in order
to determine the eligibility of any
merchant to belong to the group.
Further, it was explained that
retail merchants have their own
individual problems as do many
other businesses and, therefore,
they should set up an organization
covering these problems.
