Piano Lessons Young Canadian Teacher Opens' New Studio THIS WEEK LOCATED J. H. LUSK PIANO CO. 333 South Riverside For Further Information Contact: Lessons Include THEORY Homemakecs Learn Of Insect Measures Oregon State College Mod ern insecticides and pre-invasion strategy can halt the annual march of insect pests into Ore gon homes, if homeowners act soon enough. Robert Every. Oregon State college entomologist, advises householders to prepare now to "attack" insects during October, November and December, the months of greatest infiltration. Most common pests are straw berry root weevils, grass weev ils, bqx elder bugs, grass bugs, and leaf hoppers. They do not do any damage but are general household nuisances. Moves should be taken, he says, to kill the. insects before they get inside the home. Once they're in, they tougher to con trol. Most pests can be killed with the mist from household types of aerosol bombs. But to be effective the mist must come in direct contact with the in sects. Use of 10 per cent DDT or 5 per cent cholordane dust is recommended for killing the bugs outside the house. It should be applied around the founda tion and at the entrance. Occasionally bark beetles are brought into homes with fire wood. However,, unlike their insect brothers, bark beetles prefer to be on the outside, says Every. As beetles emerge from the wood they look for way to get outdoors. If infested wood is stored in the basement, the beetles will move to windows. If wood is stored in garages that are attached to the home, DDT dust can be used to kill the in sects and keep them from being carried inside with the wood. Bugs May Migrate In Western Oregon, particu larly along the coast, millipeds, more commonly known as thou sand-legged worms, may migrate into dwellings. Houses built close to the ground are most vulnerable to attack. A 5 per cent cholordane dust applied around the foundation of the house, doorways and as much of the surrounding lawn area as possible can make the home an arsenal of no-return" to the in vader.

Airman Plays Santa But Arrives Too Late Washington (W A young airman arrived here from Ger many Saturday with two mail sacks full of toys he can't deliv er. They are for 4-year-old Ron ney McAdoo, Springborough, Pa., who died Wednesday of leukemia. A-1C John Tercho, Albion, Pa., said he would take the toys on to Springborough, a suburb of Erie, and decide what to do with them. The toys were given by mem bers of Tercho's squadron at the Neubiberg Air Base at Munich, Germany, and by German peo ple who learned of the boy's illness. Tercho was given leave to carry the gifts to Ronnie. Mrs. Margaret R. Horton Phone MU 2-1916 or Phone SP 2-8635 ged creatures closely related to spiders, often become a serious nuisance. Every reports having seen homes where the lower foundation was completely cov ered with the small bugs. Be cause they are so tiny, they can easily crawl through smallest cracks and crevices around win dows. Control of these mites should begin outdoors. Malathion spray should be applied to the founda tion walls, to ornamentals near the house and to the lawn area at least 10 feet around the house. To prepare small quantities of spray, add two tablespoons of 50 per cent malathion emulsi fiable concentrate to each gallon of water. To do a thorough iob of spraying, 10 to 12 gallons of the spray solution should be used around an average 2-bed-room house and lot. For larger homes and yard areas, increase the amount of spray accordingly, Every says. For large quantities of spray, one quart of the malathion con centrate per 100 gallons of wa ter is recommended. Where large lawn areas are involved, it is advisable to obtain services of a custom spray operator, who has power spray equipment. To control mites that have gotten indoors, use household areosol bombs, Every advises. Mites stain so homemakers are advised not to crush them against fabrics. After mites are dead, Every suggests they be left to dry for two or three days be fore brushing them from cur tains and draperies. Manuiacxurers saiety precau tions should be followed in use of any insecticides, according to the specialist.

Don't let anybody try to bulldoze you into saying "It's I.' If they do, tell them to go fly a ballistic missile, or whatever it is kids think of flying nowa days instead of a kite. This usage has the approval, nay, the backing, of the learned Dr. Bergen Evans, who with his sister, Cornelia, has turned out a new dictionary that has jump ed right onto the best-seller list with an audacity unknown to dictionaries in the past. "In natural, well-bred English, 'me and not 'I' is the form of the pronoun used after any verb, even the verb 'to be,' the Evan ses say in their "A Dictionary of Contemporary American Uses, a 567-page storehouse of defini tion and advice just published by Random House.

The bureau said the July-August gain was slightly less than normal for the month in Ari zona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Over the year, a manufactur ing employment gain of 6,700 was centered in four states. Ari zona had an increase of 5,400, Colorado had 2.600, New Mex ico, 1,400 and Utah, 600.

But look, Dr. Evans, if it's all right to say 'It's me' be cause that's standard usage, why in your dictionary do you tell us that 'lie low' is accepted spoken English for remaining hidden or inactive. Most people I hear talk ing say 'lay low.' Even though it is allegedly ungrammatical." "Does the dictionary say that? I'd probably use 'lay low' my self," he replied. "All right. I have here in my notes, 'Lay low is O.K., despite the dictionary.' Now how do you stand on 'O.K. please." Not Formal Yet "If there is a universal usage now, 'O.K. is it," he said.
