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.
In Central and Eastern Ore

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.

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.

'It's Me' Has Approval, Backing of
Audacious Best-Seller Dictionary
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York (W Dear chil
dren: It's perfectly O.K. to say
"It's me." 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

Contemporary American Uses,

"They're afraid of 'me," he
said. "They've been told not to
say 'it's me.
"It's an affectation to say
'It's I." He continued. "Suppose
you are expecting guests at your
house and the lady of the house
looks out the window and sees
them coming. She doesn't ex
claim 'It is they,' does she."
"Nope. 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. "It is

single term in human speech.
