Is it another bug-killer destined for a brief flurry of success and then oblivion after a few years? What makes home gardeners and horti cultural editors coast to coast so excited about its discovery? While it is true that other in secticides have been introduced with great fanfare during the Iiost-war era, lindane has quietly icon tested in farms across the nation since 1945. Thousands of tons of the lindane have been used successfully by farmers in controlling a wide range ol pests. Now On Market Now, during tho spring season of 1050, it is hitting the market for the first time and is available to backyard gardeners. While no miracles are claimed for lindane, its backers quietly and confident ly point to the fact that lindane is the fir.st insecticide which has the advantage of killing insects three ways by contact, by stom ach poisoning, and by vapor ac tion. The fact that it leaves a residue which still continues to efficiently kill bugs four to 12 days later after the original ap plication is one of the reasons for its quick and sensational ac ceptance by home gardeners of America. Another "first" for lindane is the fact that it makes available to home gardeners a fairly simple way of getting rid of soil pests. It can be dusted on tho ground around voiinc vegetable plants or flowers with equal ease ana will destroy wiroworms and many common types of soil pests. Mulii-Purpoie Duii A 1950 multi-purpose dust con taining lindane is responsible for killing effectively these 20 ma jor garden problems: aphis, thrips, leafrollers, caterpillars, flea beetles, white flies, cucum ber beetles, Icafminers, army- worms, sod webworms in lawns, ants, mole crickets, chinch bugs, cutworms, wireworms, white grubs, fuller rose beetle' larvae, house flics, and mosquitoes. Home gardeners may rightful ly ask whether such a multi purpose dust or spray is danger ous to use. The answer is that any spray or dust package con taining lindane does not bare tho familiar skull and crossbonrs on the labels which the law al ways Insists on printing whore- ever there is danger of immediate poisoning. It has been generally mm PS "snowed 11 iViakt Ntded Hom lmprowment$ Now Apa Out of fncomi, Inquire of. .

In a meeting that lasted less than an hour, the board also ac cepted the resignation of six teachers that were first submit ted at the last meeting. Superintendent E. H. Hedrick told ihe board that a property owner next to Lincoln scnool would stand half the cost of put ting a steel link lence between his lot and the Lincoln play- uruuna. unairman Konald Kice asked the authority to retain on Ashland landscape architect for the purpose of determining the cost ot a possible 10-ycar land scaping ' project.

Brown, Ashland, to day announced the establishment of a daily delivery service of fresh packaged vegetables to grocery stores in Talent, Phoenix and Medford. Supplier will be Mayfield's gardens, In Ashland. The "Red-E-Serve" products arc all attractively packaged in cellophane - type wrappings. Brown said, and arc guaranteed fresh. They include all fresh vegetables in season, and pack aged salads. Most quality stores in Medford will use his service, Brown said. He has a franchise with Mayficld for the area he serves. stated by various entomologists that lindane is as safe to use as the widely known pyrethrum and rotenone products. There is practically no danger to young sters or pets when these prod ucts have been used, and that is one more reason why lindane has caught on with such sudden popularity. Killing Action Wide Lindane is available under trade names in several garden sprays and dusts, usually in com bination with several other tried and true tested insect and fungus killing ingredients which even widen the scope of killing action of common pests and diseases. Compared to DDT, the insect icide which received such a world-wide buildup during World War II, lindane has a greater range of kill and is safer to use. Winter Damage had us under It was bad enough to have the roof leak, but it had to pick a spot over our bedroom. Before Marge and I realized it, the plaster on the ceiling was ruined some of the wallpaper, too, of course. The repairman who came to make the estimate put us next to a Home Improvement Loan through our bank. Sure enough, the First National Bank showed us how we could have repairs made when they arc needed and pay for 'cm out of future paychecks. A good way to keep a bad situation from getting worse and certainly a great worry oflour shoulders!
