Real Expert Needed
To Rid a House
OF Hungry Ternifes
By Dr.. Thomos {. Snyder

by Ur. Ihom0s {. snyder
Entomoiogist and writer on Termite
Control
Lots Of money Is being saved
nowadays by the "do-it-your-
self" fans. But some are being
misguided by instructions for
"easy. cheap" ways to get rid Of
termites.
1t sometimes appears easy to
stop termites from getting into
q house built upon piers or
foundation walls or with base
ments. When the owner applies
his own remedy, he feels secure
if he sees no more evidence Of
termites right away. But before
long he may discover damage.
That's why termite control is
chiefly a job for experienced
operators.
Houses built over concrete
slabs were once believed to be
"termite-proof." Many home
owners now sadly know this not
to be true.
Control of subterranean ter
mites infesting slab type"
houses is a problem even for the
expert with a knowledge both
OF the habits Of termites as well
as details Of construction. Some
times the termites come up from
the soil through expansion joints
which have a penetrable filler;
these joints are often under
wooden partitions. They also

jected under the slab there may
be an overflow which will stain
or ruin rugs and carpets.
Even after q slab house or
building has been thoroughly
treated, regular inspections are
necessary to make sure the ter
mites don't find q way to get
back In. This usually means re-
moving the baseboards periodi-
cally. Reihspections are easier

II baseboards have been installed

Because Of the many hazards
in attempting to control termites
in any type Of structure, an ex-
perienced operator should be en-
trusted with the job Of treating
and reinspecting your property.

MADRID, Spain, Sept. IA
The Spanish government has re-
fused to permit the reopening
of an American Baptist Church
here despite a protest by the
United States Embassy.
An Embassy spokesman said
Spanish police closed and sealed
the church, which had an all
Spanish congregation July II on
the ground that public prose-
lytizing of Roman Catholics was
being carried out. This is con-
trary to the Spanish bill of
rights. which tolerates nom

said. interviewed with q note to
the Spanish Foreign Ministry
July "a because the church was
American property, owned by the
Foreign Mission Board Of the

The note requested an inyesti-

Admits lake From
Phenix City Gaming
BY the Associated Pres.

PHENIx CITY, Ala, Sept. ia
Veteran Russell County Repre-
sentative B. L. Cole has admitted
he sometimes received $500 to
$1,000 a day from gambling op-
erations at the notorious 5l4
Club and Yellow Front Cafe, in
vestigators said last night.
Warrant Officer Fauney Hughes
Of the National Guard quoted
Cole as saying he "quit the busi-
ness" in October. 1851, but had
been in a gambling operation
with w. c. Roney for 10 years
prior to 1851 and in three-way
partnership with Roney and an
other man for four years be-
fore that.
The 59-year-old legislator was
arrested yesterday on warrants
charging him with leasing prop
erty for gambling along Phenix
City's rowdy Dillingham; street.
Son Also Jailed.
Roney's son, Lawrence Roney,
also was jailed yesterday on war
rants charging lottery operations,
but the elder Roney had not been
found. Lawrence was arrested
by Guardsmen at his residence.
Coles statement did not ex-
plain why he broke off the OPP
Grafton in 1851, but the Federal
law requiring gamblers to pur-
chase gambling stamps went
into effect about that time.
While gambling is not a Federal
offense, the holders of Federal
gambling stamps leave them
selves open to possible prosecu-
ton by State and local authori- 1
ties.
Cole said he was a silent part
ner in the business and never
took an active part.
Held Without Bond.
Cole was fingerprinted, pho
tographed and held in jail over
night without bond.
Coles arrest climaxed several
weeks of investigation during
which he was questioned by Ma
tional Guardsmen. The 59-year-
old veteran Of IL years in the
legislature was defeated for re-
nomination in the May 4 DEM
ocratic primary by City Attor-
ney William r. Belcher, whose
nomination was later voided by
the State Democratic Executive
Committee after an investiga-
ton of election irregularities.

UNIVERSITY TO
 ACCOMMODATE TOURISTS

As a result of pressing requests from various tourist agencies the University of Alaska consented last week to make Harriet Hess Hall available as a tourist summer hotel during the coming tourist season.
 ''The University is not anxious to be in the hotel business" Dr. Ernest N, Patty, president of the University, explained. "But after conferring with the tourist com mittee of the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and representatives of Fairbanks hotels, these groups decided this move is necessary to accommodate the increased num- Der of tourists already booked for interior Alaska trips"
 If the enrolment for summer school continues to climb at the present rate, the University won't be able 10 continue furnishing ho- tel accommodations" Enrolment for summer school this year will be double that of last year, Dr. Patty explained. Andrew Nerland Hall and another dormitory on the campus have been set aside for the summer students.
 University comptroller, Harold A. Byrd, said all tourist accommo- dations will be double rooms cost ing $4 per bed, or a total of $8 per day. This $8 rate will apply if one person wants to occupy a double room. These tourist rates will not apply to summer students and visiting faculty, Byrd ex- plained. A
