NEW TYPE COCKROACH
ENJOYS TELEVISION

Many joys and blessings have
come with television-and a few
disadvantages too. Among the dis
advantages, perhaps, could be
listed the spread of the brown
banded cockroach.
This little household post is par
ticularly fond of TV, according to
George Jones, in charge of ento-
mology for the N. c. Agricultural
Extension Service at State Col
lege. He doesn't care about the
picture, but the cabinet provides
warm dark place in which to hide
and raise family. Also, he can
hitch a ride in the TV set in the
repair shop where he and his
Matching young find other TV sets
and hence introduction to some
of the best homes. They are also
spread in boxes from grocery,
drug stores, etc. In some circles
among bug men, he has come to
be known as the TV roach, though
he likes radio almost as well.
Unlike the German roach, or
croton bug, which it resembles, the
brown-banded roach does not limit
it's activities to kitchen and bath
room. 1t runs over the house, de-
posting egg capsules in corners
of dressers and closets and dark
undersides Of furniture, as we'll as
in radio and TV cabinets. It seems
to prefer high spots like closet
ceilings and supper corners Of cab
inets.
! This roach is about half an inch
long, with notified, reddish brown,
almost transparent wings. Two
brownish-yellow bands across the
back, more prominent on some in
dividuals than others, give it it's
name. Missing are the two length
wise brown stripes that appear
just behind the head on the slight
ly larger and also common Ger
man roach.
A number of insecticides will
kill brown-banded and other cock
reaches. Chlordane and DOT are
among the most effective. If
reaches show resistance to these,
lindane should be substituted, sc-
cording to Jones. Pyrethrrm also
can be used, and this insecticide is
less hazardous to pets and people
but since it has little residual eff
feet, more frequent and heavier
applications are required.
To control reaches successfully,
it is important to apply insecticide
in spray or power form where
they will come in contact with it
preferably in their hiding places.
The best way to find where they

ID. NApnI Wy IInYn
By CAROLYN LLOYD

We are nation of neurotics,
the wise men say. Well, no won
der, every modern media of COM
munication seems to be devoted to
reminding us Of ailments. For in
stance, when ! turn on the radio
in the morning in hopes of getting
little music to brighten that
early morning mood and to keep
up with the time while preparing
breakfast, what do / hear? A stri-
dent voice urging me to take a
patent medicine, that's what!
At night it is impossible to hear
or see the late news without being
advised to take a certain pill.
Worse than that, announcers on
television programs calmly discuss
ailments which were once taboo in,
parlor conversation. The man in
the white coat has no Inodesty,
false or otherwise; he tells all
about it. Perhaps a modern girl
sitting in the "Parlor" with her
date would think nothing of it,
having been brought up in a
franker age, but girls of my gem
Grafton would have suffered
agonies of embarrassment. Good
taste seems to be thing of the
past. All day and far into the
night, we are told that we are
not lazy, we just have "tired
blood" and advised to take tonic.
Radio and television are not the
only offenders. Magazines and
newspapers keep us so well in
f--''-,ed on all the ailments of man
kind that it takes strong mind
not to imagine oneself a victim
of them all. Articles scare the
daylights out of US by warning
against smoking, eating (anything
good, that isl, too much exercise,
too little exercise, etc., etc. To
make it worse the so-called auth
critics dispute each other. Scien-
lists get into the act by arguing
over the dangers of radiation fall
out. Then there are all the articles
on mental health. Read them and
you begin to detect symptoms of
schizophrenia in yourself and all
your friends. Your simplest actions
begin to take on dark meanings
and YOU suuirm with guilt.
All of this is designed for the
enlightenment of the populace;
and, up to certain point, is a
good thing. Sometimes, though, it
does seem as though we are being |
enlightened at the expense of the
joy of living. It's all pretty con-
fusing and enough to make one
long for "the good old days" when
we didn't know that most of the
things we enjoy are harmful and
didn't know enough about many
ailments to develop them. No one,
of course, in this day wants to be
ignorant Of what is going on in
the world, yet it would be nice
to get through one day without
being warned of dangers to come.
1t would be nicer still to have
some entertainment unmixed with |
prescriptions for stirred blood" If /,
such commercials continue, they
would do we'll to follow each one
with prescription for nausea.

hide is to enter a room quietly at
night, turn light on suddenly
and then watch where the reaches
run.
If brown-banded reaches are
present, open your TV cabinet and
look for yellowish or reddish
brown egg capsules less than LA
inch long clinging to the upper
corners of the case. Remove egg
cases, but don't spray oil base in
secticides into the interior of TV
set, cautions Jones. A small
amout of power insecticide around
the edge of the case is all that
is recommended for inside the TV.
Spraying should be limited to the
outside approaches to the cabinet.
