HO1U to Control
Bugs IN the House
By j. P. CORKINS
assistant State EutOmoIogist

IT IS GENERALLY agreed that
the bugs were here ahead of US.
Perhaps this explains at least in part
the many cases where the bugs at
tempt to take over our property
lock, stock and barrel
Regardless of who was here first,
very few of us are happy about shar-
ing our homes with a host of bugs,
particularly when they commonly
destroy our property as well as live
in it. Ways and means have been
devised for man to succeed victori-
ously in his struggles with the bugs
for possession of his home. These
ways and means are outlined herein.
Actually, it would be of little
value to evict the bugs from the
house if by the same process some
of the desirable inhabitants of the
house were poisoned. Consequently,
when carrying out this struggle with
the bugs, it should be constantly kept
In mind that all insecticides are poi
sonous at varying degrees, and all
should be considered to be danger
Gus. Keep the insecticides where
children or pets cannot get into them,
make certain that insecticides are
not applied on to foodstuffs or food
handling equipment, and keep out
of the insecticides when they are
being applied and after they are
applied.
Chlordane has proven to be pref
ty good general household insecti-
eide and it can be used safely.
However, recent information indi-
Gates that there is a danger Of slow
development of injury from chlor-
dane over a period of several years

feed on meats and cheeses. These
attacks can often be prevented by
keeping all dried foods in tight,
sealed containers, and keeping
shelves, cupboards, and other food
storage areas clean, and seal all
cracks and crevices.
Insects which are in food can be
killed by heating the food at $50
degrees F. for 80 minutes. Treatment
of infested areas and adjacent food
storage can be made with 10 percent
DOT spray, 10 percent DOT dust, or
a pyrenone dust or spray. Pyrenone
can be used safely around foodstuffs.
However, before treatment all con-
tents of cupboard shelves or other
areas to be treated should be re-
moved and the insecticides should
not be allowed to contact food. Sur
faces on which food is prepared and
the utensils which may be treated
should be cleaned after the appIca-
ton.

These fragile and somewhat harm

spray application in two weeks when
necessary. Again, make sure that

DR.. H. w. Geyer OF
Milford To Be The
Colony Psychiatrist

DR.. Hal w. Geyer, Milford psychi-
artist, will become a staff physician
for the Delaware Colony at Stock
ley on December 1st, serving on a
part-time basis, it was decided on
Monday at the meeting of the Della
ware Commission for the Feeble
Minded, held at the institution.
This will be the second time in
its history that the Delaware in
stitutiOn for feeble-minded persons
has had a psychiatrist on it's staff.
The only previous time, according
to officials of the colony, occurred
in 1888, when psychiatrist served
there for a short time.
DR.. Geyer will serve in associa-
ton with DR.. Joseph B. NAPLES,
Jr., of Georgetown, who is medical
director of the institution, also
serving on part-time basis.
The colony has no full time
physician.
DR.. NAPLES spends about 16 hours
week at the institution, and DR..
Ney6I VIII SpenQ about ~ hours a
week there. The board hopes to
have the psychiatrist serve a great
er amount of time at the colony
later.
DR.. Geyer received his medical
training in China. He served his in
terneship at the Peninsula Memoir
al Hospital at Salisbury, and later
was on the staff Of the Delaware
State Hospital at Farnhurst. From
there he went to the Rhode Island
State Hospital, where he became
assistant clinical director.
He is currently in private prac-
tice at Milford, and is on the staff
of five peninsula hospitals as {
cOnsultant. Those are the hospitals
at Dover, SeafCrd, Lewes, Milford
and Salisbury.

vote most of his time to setting up
medical records at the institution,
which currently lacks such records
on it's patients. While that work is
in progress, psychiatric work will
be secondary 10 it.
1t was also disclosed at the meet
ing that the Budget Commission
has tentatively Topped off about one
fourth of the boards budget re-
quest, which board members declar-
ed was figured conservatively to
meet the needs of the institution.
The board asked for 500, ,424 for
the next fiscal year. The Budget
Commission pared this tentatively
to $504,000. A board spokesman said
the board will request a hearing be-
for the commission to explain the
need for the larger amount, which
the spokesman declared was not a
padded figure"
The boards request for $685.
042.80 for repairs and requirements
was chopped by the Budget Com
mission to less than half-$50, ,000.-
The request for $13,008.4 .48 for new
equipment was similarly cut to less
than half-$6,O0O. The salary re-
quest of $367,733 was Topped off
to $26O,OOO; and the travel request
of $3,252.12 was reduced to $4,000.
The board asked for $9,756.S6 for
office expenses and $201 ,631.64 for
operations, but the budget group
suggested knocking these down to
$4,000 and $18O,OOO respectively.
Altogether, the board had asked
for an appropriation which would
provide $4.O96 as the cost per pa
tient day. The budget commissions
tentative trimming cut this to
$3.O31. The present appropriation,
which board member declared is
/ inadequate to run the institution
properly, provides for $2.996 per
patient day.

1858 Corn Crop Free
Of U. S. Restrictions
BY Associated Press

The government announced on
Monday that farmers will be free
to grow all the corn they want to
next year.
The Agriculture Department said
current supplies of the important
livestock feed again are not large
enough to warrant use of crop con-
troll measures even though this
years production was the second
largest OF record.
When there is a surplus, the de-
partment is required by law to set
up acreage planting allotments and,
with grower approval, to invoke
rigid marketing quotas.
There were no restrictions on this
years corn crop. Tobacco and pea
nuts are the only major crops being
grown under production controls.
The department announced a 2 per
cent increase in the national pea
nut marketing quota for 1853
The corn supply for the current
marketing year vas reported at g.
793,000,000 bushels. This was said
to be 100000 bushels less than
the amount which would have re-
quired quotas.
Corn reserves have been deciin-
ing in recent years, rejecting small
crops and increased livestock feed
demands.
The department said this years
crop of 3,303,O0O,OOO bushels
should be sufficient to meet all
feeding and other market demands
this season and perhaps add a little
to the reserve.

Difficulties Increase
For News Gatherers,
A.P. Official Reports
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE
search for truthful news taxed the
ingenuity and enterprise of news
Ipapermen during 1851. Frank j
IStarzel, general manager of the
Associated Press, said today.
"Newsmen were confronted by
iron curtains, bamboo curtains
confidential files, restricted infor-
nation and downright censor
ship" Mr.. Starzel said in his an
.nual report.
"At the same time in this diff
cult situation, the responsibility OF
the Associated Press to keep the
public properly informed also was
magnified many times.
These news barriers, these ac-
tive and hidden censorships, came
at a time when it was not only
difficult to get the news, but
when the cost of getting that news
was tremendously increased"
Mr.. Starzel's report was mailed
to members of the Associated
Press, cooperative newsgathering
organization, in advance of the
APPS annual membership meeting
here April 21.
Cites Extreme Tension.
During 1851, the AP operated
in a world of extreme tension -
Mr.. Starzel said. adding: 1T also
was a world in which there was
vital need. perhaps beyond any
time Of the past. for competently
reporting news of transcendent
happenings for the people of a
troubled era"
Mr.. Starzel said the jailing OF
William N. Oats. AP chief Of bu-
reau in Prague, Czechoslovakia,
on 'trumped-up charges" of spy
ing dramatized "the hazards of a
Western correspondents activity
in Iron Curtain areas, and the ex-
,tremes to which Communist lead
'ership carries it's theological war
fare"
Mr.. Oats was sentenced to 10
years in Jail.
"The Czech governments i'm
|prisoning of Oats brought home
to Associated Press newsmen," Mr.,
|Starzel said, that the dangers OF
reporting the cold war were as
real as reporting the shooting
war.

has instituted a series of economic

his release.
"The arrest of Oats was ap-
|parently aimed at driving out any
correspondents who attempted to
report events behind the iron
curtain in Czechoslovakia. In
this it succeeded. Late in 1851
there were no western CORE
spondents in Czechoslovakia."
