Immediately set out to find a home
of their own. They burrowed into
the ground near an old house and
started housekeeping.
I So a new colony of termites was
started. AS lit grew, tunnels We're
extended into the woodwork of the
house as the worker termites
searched for food.
Willie was half way through
lunch one day when a turmoil
started which almost proved his
undoing. Seems the owner of the
dwelling had decided on a routine
termite inspection A man from the
local termite control company
came out and began detailed i'm
spection of the property. With a
sharp pointed knife, he probed into
the woodwork of the support
ing beams and flooring and into
the joists He searched along the
concrete walls for mud tubes which
are commonly found where termit-
es are working and around a leaky
water pipe where moisture had ac-
cumulated on the wall. AS luck
would have it, he found several
places where termite damage had
occurred.
In few days, two trucks car
rying a variety of pumps, hoses,
drills and cans of foul smelling
liquid arrived on the scene. t h e
man that had done the inspection
was back, and with him were sew
eral other men. They began pOk-
ing shovels into the ground around
the foundation. Before many of the
worker termites could get back i'm
to the soil, drills had cut into the
tunnels and an insecticide was be-
ing forced into the tunnels. Many
of the termites were killed by the
insecticide as they tried to escape.
By evening, the trucks were gone
and a complete termite-proof bar
rier of Insecticides had been eStab-
lished around the house. I h
beams, joists and flooring had been
treated and even the ground un-
derneath the cement slab porch
Milford chronicle., 1962-07-13

had received a generous dose. As
Willie soon learned, the house was
literally ''termite proof.
This isn't the end of the story
for our hero Willie the Termite".
Usually a complete termite control
job will wipe out the entire colony
By some miracle, however, he and
his mate and some of the workers
managed to escape. With h e j r
usual source of food denied them,
the termites went out in search of
a new supply. Luckily they were
able to find an old stump near the
house.
This is where the story starts to
repeat itself As the colony grew,
new swarms of termites went out
to start colonies, thus infesting
homes in new areas.
There are certain steps home
owners can take to insure this
Milford chronicle., 1962-07-13

story isn't repeated in their home.
Cd Have your home inspected for
termites. (2) If there are termites,
don't panic. They won't eat your
house down overnight@ (3) Insist
on a top professional job of con-
troll. In the Delaware area, make
sure the operation is a member of
the Delaware Pest Control Assoc
iation. (4) Don't rush out and sell
the house at a reduced price after
the termites have been controlled.
Such dwelling is often worth
more than similar one wherS
there has been no control once the
damage has been repaired.

Safety Council Notes

More people vacation in July,
August and September than during
any other three-month period f
the year, and most people who
travel those months do so by car,
the Delaware Safety Council point
ed out yesterday.
About three out of ten trips dur
ing the period will be less than
100 miles. More than half will be
less than 200 miles.
With those facts in mind, h e
Safety Council issued hints for
vacationers on safe travelling a n
safe vacationing.
Before you start your trip
L. Jot down the items you want
to take along. You'll think of more
things to add to the list as the big
day approaches. And you'll prob
ably eliminate a lot of the excess
baggage.
No. 2 Have your car serviced
thoroughly. Pay special attention
to lights, brakes, tires, and steer
ing.
3. Make sure you take along
such items as a first-aid kit, spare
tire and jack.
On the way to your vacation spot,
the Council says:
1. Pay strict attention to your
speed. And obey the traffic signs.
2. Look out for the other fellow.
A good driver is a defensive driver.
3. Don't overdo it on the road.
Take rest stops often, and limit
your days driving to 300-400 miles.
And when you arrive at your
destination = Don't overdo it,
Fun is fun," the Council agrees,
but too much exercise can be dan
gerous. Play i'm moderation = and
rest when you're tired" 9th er
suggestions:
. l. Swim only as far as you
know you can.
2. Look where you're diving. Be-
fore you dive, find out about un-
derwater obstacles and the waters
depth.
3. Enter cold water gradually.
4. If your boat capsizes, stay
with it till help arrives.
5. When it's hot, drink lots of
liquids.
6. Better be pale than parboiled
Don't get half baked under the sun.

Sfufe Road CoIIides
With Ladies'

CHATTANOOGA (AP) - When
a state access road ran smack into
garden club, something had to
give. 1t wasn't the garden club.
State highway workers dis
mantled a brick subdivision mark
er erected for $3.50 by the Clover
dell Garden Club in suburban Hix-
son, and the women in the club
hit the roof.
The workers explained that the
marker lay in the path of a pro-
posed freeway access road.
The women called the news
papers, county officials and the
state highway department. 1T
wasn't so bad, they said, except
Cd they had been assured that the
marker was in safe spot and
(2) it could have. been moved if
they had had notice.
Well, you know what hath no
fury like a woman scormed.
The State Highway Department
promised to furnish the materials
and the county the labor to re
build the marker on another spot
nearby.

Arnold Skepper and his friend
Alphonsina Andrews were knock
ed off a motor scooter between 2
and 3 o'clock this morning in the
vicinity of the Claude o. Markoe

and the driver of the car sped
away dragging the scooter for
probably half a mile.
Skepper, although seriously
injured, dragged himself over to
where Miss Andrews lay uncon-
scious and tried to hold her head
on his lap. Corporal Washington
and Patrolman Miranda saw the
injured pair while on routine pa
troll. Skepper was unable to tell
that had knocked them down.
An ambulance took them to the
hospital. Shortly officers saw the
Plymouth sedan, C18O0, belong
irons store, the scooter still fas-
tened to it.
The police found Hodge in town;
when asked about the accident he
said that someone had stolen his
car from in front of Hitter's Bar
and denied knowledge of the acct
dent. He was taken to Police
Headquarters, however, and final
ly admitted, that his car struck
the scooter but said he was too
frightened to stop.
Hodge was arrested and charged
with reckless driving, damage to
persons, and property, failure to
report an accident, and leaving the
scene of an accident. Bail was set
at $1,000.
The scooter which was still
fastened to the chassis of the car,

Florida Session
On Apportioning
Ends in Deadlock

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov. 20
(AP).-Rendered powerless by
internal discussion, the Florida
Legislature ended its special re-
apportionment session in hope
less deadlock.
This drops into the lap of a
Federal court the job of giving
urban voters of the State more
representation in the 1868 Leg
iSlature.
The court has said it would
reapportion If the State failed
to act, and there appeared to-
day no reason for further wait
ing by the court.
The Legislature didn't even
come close to turning out a
plan before adjournment of a
20-day session last midnight,
Each house produced a few OF
its own but the Legislature
never found one that could get
through both houses.
The big conflict was in the
Senate's insistence on a huge
increase in the size of thu
House, which was met by equa
determination by the House t,
hold it's own numbers down.

OF Titaniunl
By the Associated Press


A Senate investigator said to-
day the Government spent a
great deal and got very little
in return" from a stockpiling
venture involving titanium, an
alloy material used in space
flight vehicles.
The official statement came
from r. C. Coburn, counsel to
a special Senate Armed Serv-
ices subcommittee investigating
stockpile SURPRISES.
The subcommittee called wit
nesSes from Federal agencies
to explain why the Government
bought titanium at all, since
it never has been placed on
the list of strategic and critical
materials"
Inc purchases were described
as covering a period from 1850
to 1955-under both the Tru-
man and Eisenhower admin

Mr.. Coburn told reporters he
understood the Governments
investment totaled something
like 5000 Million" but that
exact figures would be pinned
down in testimony.

stem stockpile, four times as big

Planners Find Toronto
Subway Losing Riders

ington area planners said. The
report also said:
The Toronto subway helps
relieve the pressure during the
rush hour but certainly could
not serve as a substitute for a
city with dispersed locations of
employment and a society that
is used to the automobile.
with the exception Of the
first few years the subway was
in operation, patronage on the
subway has shown a steady
decline.
Efforts have been made to
rectify this by locating high
density apartments near the
terminal but it appears that
the residents either do not use
the subway to go to work or
are working in the widely dis
persed employment centers not
served by the terminal.
I'VE were informed that the
transit system would not pay
for itself. The Toronto
Metropolitan Government now
has said that any extension in
the future must be paid en-
tirely by the taxpayers sine
this system can not run in tn
black If construction costs ar
included"
c. Darwin Stolzenbach. ad
Iministrator of the Nationa
Capital Transportation Agency
said the Toronto system coulC
not be compared to the one his
agency recommended for
Washington.
The rapid transit line in OPP
now on Yonge street in
Toronto is about five miles long,
and this does not compare with
a regional system, he said.
