precaution for public well-being
and safety will be taken in ap

of the spray to sides of buildings,

is in no way harmful.
In addition to its value as a con
trol for hte White-Fringed Beetle,
the insecticide will prove beneficial
in reducing the numbers of some
of the insects which affect man in
areas in which the control meas
ures are undertaken. DDT is used
extensively in controlling such
noxious pests as the housefly and
and the eroded condition of one
large field. At this farm they also
inspected a fox den. Mad fox have

Pay Memorial Tribute To
Fallen Comrades May 30
! The local Post Veterans of For
eign Wars are making plans to
pay tribute and honor to the mem
ory of those who made the su
preme sacrifice in defense of their
country. This memorial service is
scheduled for Friday, May 30.
Since it is difficult’ to know the
locations of all the graves of Tay
lor county war heroes, it is the
purpose of the VFW to have a
display of flowers on the court
house square in Butler for all the
honored dead of the county.
All relatives of deceased vet
erans and friends are invited to
visit the display and pay their re
spects to our honored dead on
Memorial Day—May 30.
