Control Of Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are a nuisance t h a t
come around every year at about
this time. If you stay in the house,
and If the windows are tightly
screened, they don't have to be
much of a problem. When you go
outside though, other control mea-
sures are needed.
Ed Ralph, Associate County A
gent points out that there are two
basic methods of control: repell-
ents and insecticides. The repell-
ents don't kill the mosquitoes =
they only drive them away. Most
of these repellents can be applied
directly to the skin.
Insecticides, such as DDT, can
be used in the dark areas where
hide during the day
light hours. Popular hiding places
are attics and Easements, garages,
and dense growth such as vines,
hedges, and tall grass.
Another important measure n
control is destroying the
breeding places. Mosquitoes breed
in stagnant water, SO dump such
water wherever you find it - in
rain barrels, plugged quit ers,
rubber tires or amy
other place. If you can't empty the
water out, put thin film of kero-
sene on it. You'll have to renew
this film every tyo weeks or so.
There are 6S land grant colleges

Rico.

The worlds first private enterprise
communications satellite, now
launched into successful orbit of
the earth, is being used for dra-
matte experiments in the relaying
of telephone calls and televiSion
:. experiments that will eventu-
ally pave the way to new and
expanded global communications
system.
Its name: TelStar. 1t was
launched from Cape Canaveral at
Bell System expense by the
National .Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
TelStar receives signals beamed
to it from a ground station, am
plifies them and transmits them
to another station on the ground
below = perhaps an ocean away
from the first one. The new satel-
lite thus acts as a microwave relay
station in the sky, enabling voices,
TV pictures, and data messages
to leap thousands of miles in a
new and exciting way.
The ground stations in the us.
now being used for Telstar were
built by the Bell System at
Andover, Maine, and Holmdel,
New Jersey.
TelStar is a major experiment
tai step toward worldwide Satel-
lite communications system that
was first proposed as a practical
venture at Bell Telephone Labora-
tories. Progress toward such a
system would not have reached
its present state without continu-
ing research and development by
the private communications in
dustry.
Telstar is the latest achieve
ment in an unending Bell System
quest = the search for ways to
make your telephone service still
better, more economical, and
more useful.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

@. To settle an argument:
What is the meaning of the
phrase down in the dumps?
I contend that it means that
you're feeling SO worthless that
you may as well toss yourself
out vita the trash and wind
up in the town dump. My office
mate says that it Cdumps") is
simply an old word for gloom
and means that you're low in
your mind" as she puts it.
Who's right? While you are
at it, how about a rundown on
down at the mouth"?-Two
Laughing Ladies, Milwaukee.
A. Neither one of you is
quite on the mark, though your
friend is close. Dump" is
thought to be derived from a
Dutch word "domp," (meaning
haze or dullness). During the
Elizabethan period a dump"
was also any kind of a slow,
mournful song or dance.
In The Tanning of the
Shrew," Katharine after her
first lively quarrel with Petru-
chic is asked by her father:
why. how now, daughter
Katharine! In your dumps?"

mouth seem to turn down? Just
the opposite of the smile you
wear when you're happy!
@. Just where did patent
leather" get its name?
A. Just about where you
would expect-from the United
States Patent Office. The proc
ess by which this brilliantly
polished black finish is applied
to leather used in shoes and
handbags was once protected
by patent.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-22

So even in Shakespeare's time,
'in the dumps" meant out of
spirits. But-aS everyone who
recalls the recent and lively
adaptation Of this play, Kiss
Me Kate" will remember
Katharine was by no means
ready for discard to the town
dump.
The other expression down
in the mouth" is quite obvious.

rooms in the home, can now

In a recent room setting.

ing-dining room. What color
would you suggest for the up

chairs? Also what color car

blue. I would have this color
for the carpet and sofa. Have
a fabric in a small or me-

for the two chairs. The dra-
peries could be blue, a shade
deeper than walls, or they

Questions and Answers
Question: My bathroom is
too plain. The tiled half of
the walls are yellow with a
black border. We first had
the painted portion of walls
in yellow but this seemed
dull. Now they are turquoise
and this doesn't look right.
Two doors and window trim
are blue. Should these be the
color of the tiles? What color
would you suggest for walls,
ceiling and swag curtains?
Answer: 1t is usually better
to keep walls in same color
range as the tile. however,
the yellow could be a sunny
or citrus shade. Doors, wood
work and ceiling should be
the color of the tile and
painted walls. For a gay note
have towels, soap and other
accessories in vivid yellow
and brilliant orange. Use a
stripe in white, yellow and
orange for the curtains and
have a fluffy, washa Bile
orange rug. If you follow this
plan and the bathroom still
seems dull to you, you might
consider one wall decorated
in drawings or prints.
Question: Walls and wood
work in one of the bedrooms
in our house are in a petal
pink. The bedspread is pink
and the rug a dark rose.
w h a t colors would you re-
commend for the dust ruffle
and the draperies?

There was a time when
buying bedroom furniture
was a routine matter. You
simply decided on a style,
took yourself off to the near
est shop and ordered the
traditional suite" consisting
of a bed or beds, night tables
to use with it or them, a
high and a low chest, the
first for "him," the second
for "her."
In the last ten years this
has changed, as have most
other elements in decorat-
ing. A freer feeling about
selection and even placement
of furniture has invaded the
bedroom. For example. the
former rule about placing the
bed smack in the center Of
the longest wall no longer
applies, particularly in a
room designed for a single
occupant. The bed may line
up against a wall or even
slide into a corner in order
to free the rest of the room
for other daytime uses.
1t is this supplementary
use of the bedroom that has
perhaps changed attitudes
toward arranging this room,
a use forced by necessity,
since in many homes the
second living room or study
has disappeared.
