Is Your Name
ROSS?

Ross. an old and honored sur
name, is principally of English and
Scottish origins. 1t admits of a
few derivations. According to some
authorities on the origin of names,
it is derived from the Gaelic
ross, which signifies 'promon-
tory or headland", and it there
fore was bestowed in mediacval
times upon those living in such
locality 1t is said also that Ross
was the name applied to ncWcOm-
ers to community who came from
Ross-Shire in northern Scotland
and still again there are some
who believe that it is obtained
from the French rouse, meaning
red, and therefore was applied
to those of ruddy complexion or
with red hair
George Ross 1730)-1799J was
signer of the Declaration of In
dependence and member of the
first and Second Continental Con
crosses. He was born in New
Castle, Delaware and was the son
of Presbyterian minister.
Among the high ranking officers
who served in the Continental
Army during the Revolutionary
War was Colonel William Ross

When Termites
Attack

When you find your home or
other building must be treated
for termites take time to engage
pest control operator or ex-
terminator who has reputation
for honest and reliable work.
Every year many property owners,
because they allow themselves to
be rushed into hasty action. are
swindled by fly-by-night operators.
This warning comes from Mr..
Theodore l.. Bissell, Entomology
Department, University of Mary
land College of Agriculture.
First it should be determined
whether termites are actually pres
emit Spring is the season for
winged termites to swarm but
ants and other harmless insects
are on the wing too Your agri-
cultural agent or the Department
of Entomology University of
Maryland will identify specimens
of insects or damage and will
furnish a publication to help you
decide if treatment is necessary.
A reputable pest control operator
will make examination without
charge, Mr. BSSell says
The termite is an old. old
enemy that has attacked wooden
structures probably ever since
man began to build. TermiteS are
capable of severe damage to wood
and all cellulose products pro-
vided moisture is also available
This usually comes from the soil,
with which termites keep in con-
tact. Most infestatiOns start through
faulty construction, such as where
grade stakes are left in concrete,
where scraps of wood are put in
fills, where cinder block walls are
not properly sealed at top or
sides, or where door stills are not
properly insulated from the earth
in stoops and porches. But termites
do not infest and destroy so
swiftly that immediate action must
be taken. he adds.
In many cases the owner or
mechanic can apply an insecticidc
to the soil around an infcstation,
replace damaged wood, and point
up masonry to close a termite
entrance, but where concrete must
be drilled or where crawl spaces
must be entered, and much labor
is involved, it may be better to
get the services of professional,
Mr. Bissell says
An established pest control oper-
ator is quite willing to allow a
period of investigation. Ask for
references. Have the operator
make a sketch of the house show
ing where termites have been
located and get written state
ment of work that is to be done
to eradicate the insects and pro-
tect the building Have at least
two operators make estimates and
then choose the one you think
best fits the situation, Mr. Bissell
recommends.
