pLEONFUET 5 URGED BY CITY MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MF.DFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. APRIL 2s. 1935. PAGE FIFTEEN Inged Pests Greatest Con taminators of Milk and Food Is Claim Early Spring Time to Kill Them IN FIGHT FOR DON LEE ESTATE "PTODaDiy me grw menace in AO tmi nation of milk and food 1 m common house fly. This home ttoed, domesticated fly hu become Lfy tame and It habits an rueh as k merit the greatest disrespect for n company and actions." Cuch was the response at Chas. W. j Justin, Medrord dairy and milk in jector, when asked as to the worst Stture to cope with at present In tar. tml nation of milk. Mr. Austin submitted the following lijirint from the Issue of September 10, 1932. of the National Butter and ttoese Journal. t'AU fly eradicating measures made 2yst effective should begin In early ip ring by destroying the first broods. C"The house fly is not a, biting ln frt. Its mouth parts being formed Jor sucking up its food. Hard sub ifcances. such as sugar, it first dis solves by ejecting certain digestive htiutda fiom Its stomach. This species b by far the most common, consti tuting about 99 per cent of the files found in dining rooms, dairies and kitchens. Files breed rapidly. One female fly deposits during Its several kays 150 to 600 ef?gs. "The eggs are laid In clusters in klmost any decaying matter, such as Carious kinds of manure, open toilet. Head carcasses, and garbage, where jthey hatch In less than 24 hours. The hit maggots therefrom attain full (rowth in about a week's time. Th upae or Intermediate stage lasts an ther four days, when the insects merge as full-size flies. The forg oing shows that the common house ;y breeds with exceeding rapidity, rom only one pair of adult in early p.-ing there are likely to accumulate (In a summer hundreds of millions of iheM disease -breeding insects. It -The 'common house fly, for years nnown a one of the filthiest animals ,llve, Is now known to be one of the i&oat dangerous,. In fact a 'public nemy.' It Is covered with strong hairs which catch and carry dirt and terms cathered from whatever It trawls over. It Is now known that one fly may carry from 500 to 6,600, 000 germ at one time. The average pf the 414 files tested In one experi ment was 1,250,000 germs per fly, ac cording to 'Esten and Mason ; "No wonder tt has been convicted as the carrier of 30 or more diseases. including typhoid, which causes the death of 75,000 persona annually Flies are held responsible for 85 per cent of the typhoid in cities and 95 per cent of the country cases. Vari ous diarrhea troubles and 'summer complaint' are directly traceable to germs carried by flies, and they have been known to trawl sever miles for food. f "The fly's table manners are aw ful. She sneaks into the house un i Invited, she alts on her food, spits ion hard food to soak it up, she eats k more than she can hold by occasion ally 'un-eating.' and befoul every thing she touches with live germ3 a well as Just dirt. These are the n reasons that good dairymen fight "Like other animals, the fly must be dealt with according to it nature and habit. So jitnee flies creed In K dirt and manure, these should be re moved as thoroughly as possible, yet many will be bred. "Plies seek the light, except when wildly excited or when well fed or tired, wnen they hunt dark place In Hi Ha fir tvi nit "Ply eegs In warm places hatch in one or two days, spend four or five asys in larva and pupa stage ana become sexually mature In three to four days after birth. Thus the fly completes its life cycle in eight to 12 days, and its life span in 10 to 18 days, ewh female having laid from 100 to 600 eggs in the meantime. No wonder they are plentiful during warm weather, even though they do have their own natural enemies in the per.on of garden toads and lizards, also spiders and wasps and their own set of germ diseases. These alone, however, are utterly Inadequate. We must match our wits against the Thomas '3. Lee (left), son of the late wealthy auto dealer, Don Lee, In court at Los Angeles where he entered objections to the granting of a widow's allowance to Mrs. Geraldine May Lee (right) from his father's estate estimated at $2,000,000. He asserted she waived all rights to the fortune in an asserted pre-nuptlal agreement. (Assoc! tifH Press PhnA flies' prolific and vile nature and protect curselves. "Now what to do about it? Health departments everywhere are working hard to get co-operation from the very people affected in reducing the fly population, and every good citi zen will help. There are various ways of ridding cheese factories, milk plants, creameries and home of this pest, anyway of reducing the dirt and danger, and they are based on the nature and habits and instincts of the flies themselves. "By cleaning up refuse to destroy breeding places, the eggs die before maturing. In some places, as, for example, in the soil sbout whey tanks, barns, etc., the eggs and maggots may be killed by upruikllng well wltii POWDERED BORAX AND CHLORIDE OP UME. "Then the flies that do develop should be caught and destroyed out side of the house or factory, in stand ard Inexpensive fly traps. "By screening well, many are kept out until they are either trapped or die of old age. Every factory should hare screens at every window and door that Is used. "Then let "em out. those that do get in. Plies are great little weather forecasters and ere Just as anxious to get out at certain times as they are to get in at other times. Before a storm and when becoming cold, they crowd to got Into the house, but on light, clear mornings they are Just s eager to go. out doors as anyone else. Give 'em a chance to go. "Several electrical devices are also on the market by which wandering flies are Instantly electrocuted as soon as they contact with the at tractive little machine or screens. "Wonderful spray materials have now been developed, after much ex pensive testing, which kill files with out harming people. This has a place in testing and receiving rooms and other places that may be closed. The steam hose Is a fine fly chaser In the usual creamery workroom "Sticky paper on desk, letter fKe or window alll does Its bit to entagle the transient flies to their doom. "Ply poisons are numerous, but one of the most effective Is sweet skim milk in a saucer into which (wo or three cc. of formaldehyde has been mixed. The formaldehyde gives the milk a sweetish odor that flies like, and It preserve the milk, to make It last longer, and it knock 'em. "Every day In every way, If we match our wits against those of the fly, and co-operate among ourselves and with the health departments, we have It in our power to avoid much sickness, and furnish sanitary foods. "All campaigns to eliminate flies from dairy plants should start in March or early April in the south, and not later than May in the north, to be effective."

PR0M0TESAFETY Safety Responsibility Act Is New Feature Which Be comes Operative July 1 Eliminates Reckless During the last session of the leg islature, several important changes to the motor vehicle code were en acted. One which is entirely new to the motorists of Oregon Is the safety responsibility act. which becomes operative on July 1st of this year. This measure In it esontlal re quirements is now in effect in som-. twenty odd other state. It has the endorsement of the National Con ference on Street and Highway Safe ty and la an important part of the uniform vehicle code, many features of which Oregon has previously adopted. In operation, this law la designed to promote safety on the street and highways by eliminating therefrom the driver who has been held respon sible for the death or bodily Injury of any person or damage to the prop erty of others in an amount exceed ing $100 as a result of operation of any motor vehicle upon a highway, until such driver has sstisfled any final Judgment which may be pend ing against him and furnished proof of ability to respond to damage In the future. Likewise, a driver who haa been convicted or any violations requiring the mandatory revocation of his op erator's or chauffeur's license Is not again permitted to drive until his license ha been regularly restored. and only then after he has furnished and thereafter maintains for a period of three years proof of financial re sponsibility and has not been con victed during such three years or any offense for which mandatory revoca tion la required. Under the act. proof of financial responsibility Is regarded a having been established when an insurance policy or policies, surety, cash or real estate bond showing that the person In whose behalf such proof Is filed Is able to respond In damages to the : amount of 5000 for any one person ! injured or killed, or 10.000 for two or more persons injured or killed. and for the damage to property in tr.e ; amount of $1000. resulting from any one accident. Whenever like amounts ! have been credited, on any Judgment rendered in excess of these amounts such Judgment then Is deemed satis fied. probably no other change In the motor vehicle law by the recent ses sion will be of such universal inter est "to every "rriotof vehicle operator a that which amenda the rule of the road relating to the question of right-of-way at Intersections. On and after June 12, which Is the effective date of the new act, drivers when approaching highway intersections shall look out for and give right-of-way to vehicle on the right simul taneously approaching a given point, whether such vehicle first entered and reached the intersection or not. This provision does not apply at an intersection where and when traf fic Is controlled by traffic signals and police officers. A further very Im portant feature of this act provides that any driver entering an Inter section at unlawful speed shall for feit any right-of-way which he would otherwise have under this subdivision All other provisions regulating ttir movement of vehicle at Intersection I remain the same. Authority is also given for the sus pension of the license of a person who 1 a habitual Incompetent, reck less or negligent driver, or ha com mitted a serious violation of the mo tor vehicle act. Whenever such a suspension la made, the licensee ia given the opportunity of a hearing, following vhtch hi license la either revoked, suspended for a further pe riod, or restored. WILLAMETTE AREA! 10 PULL TOGETHER DREAM OF POLLY ET SAN PEDRO, Calif., April 38. AP) Mrs. Ida Marsh knows now why her green and red parrot squawked when she called it "Jack." Jack laid an egg. To make tardy amends, Mrs. Marsh re-named her pet "Jacqueline." But 12 years of out raged womanly sensibilities have made Jacqueline a creature of stern resolution. She was determined to convince her owner she was. at heart, truly feminine. Oreat as the sacrifice to her per sonal appearance must have tried her maidenly soul, Jacqueline ripped red and green feathers from her breast and built a nest. She sat and sat on the egg. It failed to hatch. Sympathizing with Jacqueline's en deavor. Mrs. Marsh substituted the egg of a bantam chicken and believes that If there is enough insulation In the few remaining wtng and tall fea thers, Jacqueline's 13-year-old dream may be realized.
