Gilman, 92 Winema Way, was one of the winners in the "Stars of To morrow" contest which ends today in Family Weekly maga zine, Sunday supplement in the Mail Tribune. Mrs. Gilman, who will re ceive a Mercury outboard mo tor, said she has sent in sev- era entries in each of weekly contests. She added she also plans to enter the final con test in today's magazine. The star who Mrs. Gilman submitted names for was a Miss Mario Kyan, who played the lead in one film. The local winner, who is secretary to the county water- master, stated that the family has been thinking about buy ing a boat, as they currently do not own one. Gilman is employed by Pa cific Fruit and troduce com pany. ' The couple have two children, Glenn, 11, and Sheila, 9. Softening Reported On Lumber Market Portland A further soften ing of Douglas fir dimension in all grades was reported last week by Crow's Lumber Market News service, Port land. Random loaded cars of 2 by 4, 2 by 6 and 2 by 8 standard grade were off at least $2 per thousand, and all widths of utility grade were down about the same. Crow's said the weakness was largely a result of an oversupply of transit cars, coupled with a seasonal buy ing lag in the east and mid west. Firm order business for miyed carloads and specified length dimension were de scribed as fair, and prices were still close to their peak on these items, Crow's said. How Fortunale-This Fish Feeds on Mosquito Larvae Because of the constant de pendability of a little fish and its appetite for mosquito lar vae, it has been introduced into more countries and for eign lands than any other fish. And in all introduced areas it is functioning perfectly. Found originally in fresh water ponds from northern Mexico throughout all the southern and southeastern states, as well as parts of the middle west and northeast, this tiny fish has been making it tough for mosquitoes since mosquitoes were mosquitoes. Naturally it would come by its common name of "mosquito fish." Its real name is Gambusia affinis, because of its aptitude for helping mankind in his constant battle against the bit ing mosquito. In countries where deaths from malaria and yellow fever have taken a terrific toll in human life, the mosquito fish has been rightfully called "the greatest sanitarian in the waters of the world." Quite a distinction for a fish. Small, Active The mosquito fish is small and probably the most active fish in any pond. If its favorite food, mosquito larvae wrig glers, is in short supply, or when waiting for a fresh batch of insect eggs to hatch, the mosquito fish sometimes eats a little algae or other plant food and may even become desperate enough to eat mem bers of its own kind or its own offspring. Gambusia is, in appearance, an insignificant little charact er, barely two inches long when adult, but its potential ities are limitless. It has the ability of populating a lake or pond with thousands of. off spring in a relatively short time. The number of mos quito fish in a pond is direct ly controlled with how many mosquito larvae are present. More Females The female is slightly larg er than the male and for some unknown reason there are al ways more females than males, even in waters where the fish have been established for a long period of time. The young are born alive, each less than an eighth of an inch long and as many as 40 to a "litter." In warm waters the female will produce a fresh litter every month of the year, the year around. She can even operate successfully without her husband. This little guy seems almost unnecessary in Gambusia society. The poor little dope may be on his way out, but he does not know it and science isn't sure. Today in many foreign lands, the malaria and yellow fever carrying mosquitoes may as well give up and stop trying. They probably would if they could know just how utterly futile is their egg-laying efforts in waters where Gambusia affinis cruises fthe warm depths.
