At the Mosquito
By JACK JONAS

By JACK JONAS
If a mosquitoes z-z-z-zing
keeps you awake nights, it's
not David Auld's fault.
Mr.. Auld's men worked all
winter along the banks of the
city's streams and ponds, try
ing to anticipate and elimi-
nate the mosquitoes breeding
places.
And now that summers heat
is in full swing, the District
Mosquito Control is battling
the pesky blighters more di-
rectly, spraying the sewer
catch basins.
IF we hear of a mosquito
nuisance anywhere" Mr.. Aud
says, I'VE go right after it.
I'VE spray with considerable
frequency during the summer,
particularly where there are
periods without rain. Because
of the water seals in the
catch basins, the water stands
and becomes stagnant if there
is no rain to freshen it."
The District Mosquito Con-
troll has been in existence Is
years, with a year-round force
OF between is and 20 men.
You can see the men
spraying the catch basins in
the summer" Mr.. Aud says.
But perhaps the most i'm
portant work is that you don't
see-the Strengthening of the
streams so they will flow more
freely, and the grubbing along
the banks.
I'm the summer, we add
about 20 young men to help
out with the spraying, so that
at times we have up to 40 men
working on mosquito control.
IF the mosquitoes don't seem
as bad as they did, say 10
years ago, it's because we've
been keeping right on top of
the problem"
Breakfast
Peggy O'Neill, headed
downtown for work one day
this week on busy Thir-
tenth street NV, met up
with a traffic jam.
"You know how busy that
street is, especially at Sis
in the morning." she said.
"At the curb lane next to
the right-hand sidewalk,
cars were backed up for
four blocks at one point.
When l finally got around
them 1 saw what caused it.
"A shaggy, black mongrel
dog was lying in front of
the first car, nOnchaIantIy
eating a bone. 1 got out
and said, Come on, dOggie,
get out of the way
He just looked at me
with that mind -yOur-Own
business look, and went
right on eating his bone.
l suppose he stayed right
there until he finished"
Switch
A group of men sitting
around a big table at Ham
mel's Restaurant didn't have
much to do except examine
the silverware. They noted an
O'Donnell's imprint on a
couple of pieces.
Harry Kopel, muttering
about how it would be Just
like some of these wagS to
pick up some silver from
O'Donnell's and bring it in
here to embarrass me-" final
ly came up with an explana-
ton.

lector, he said, picks up the
overflow from both restau-
rants. Every so often he brings
back a bundle of silver found
in the garbage. The garbage
collectors mistake, he said.

Name
Why do they call it Fes-
sender street?
That street was named
for William Pitt Fessenden,
who came out of nowhere
to gain a reputation in the
Senate as an orator.
He took a year out, dur
ing the Civil War, to put the
Treasury back on a sound
footing, then resumed his
seat in the Senate. He
gained his fame as AN ora
tor during debates on the
