The City of Eugene has been di ^ vided into five districts, for each of which a squad of students has been deputized to lay low the germ-laden insects. Each district phalanx is captained by a Eugene lady, a mem ber of the Parent-Teacher Associa tion. The work of extermination will be carried on with the aid of the school children of the city, who are now busy manufacturing the traps which will be used. In return for their zeal, the 28 mil itant University students may be awarded credits in the Biology course. The personnel of the “fly”ing squad ron is as follows: Patterson—Mrs. F. L. Stetson, chairman; Bernice Perkins, Leone Williams, Don Orput, Larry Mann, Robert Fitzmaurice. Lincoln—Mrs. C. S. Choate, chair man; Mrs. H. E.
