Swat the Mosquito With a Minnow The Montgomery County Health Department 'has taken a 'forward step in ridding Clarksville of one of worst playues -mosquitoes. Every resident Who oiijpya beauty -of a fish pond or, a lily pool has a definite obligation to the other citizens of this community to take the rieces.sa ry 'precautions to eliminate the breeding of mosquitoes in these pools. The Health Department will provide, free for asking, a species of minnow called the Gambusia. This minnow feeds on the larvae and young mosquitoes that -float on the top of the water. "that is necessary to get the (rtunbiisia 'is to take a container to the Health Department" and get Ihe fish.

We suggest the Boy Seonts fake upon themselves the job of seeking out the various pools in the city and check thenj for tlffi presence of Gambusia. Where the minnows have not been placed in the pools, the owners should be notified tliat the minnows are available and the names turned in to the Health After a reasonable longth of time has elapsed and no minnows are placed in the pool, the Health Officer has the power to force such action or' drain the pool. It is very important that mosquito control be improved in this eotintv, especially since there will soon be a large number of soldiers at. Campbell. A soldier by malaria fever and unable to train is one soldier less that Hitler and the Japs will have to worrv about.

Otis sat near the table which held the Bourbon. Arihe saw him splash a dtink into a glass, drain It, then sink lower in his chair. Judith sat beside Peter. They were talking, but Judith kept her eyes on Otis. Her face was pale and she fingered a handkerchief nervously.

Anne made no protest, knowing that it was useless to try to carry on with the party now.

When she and Morit were left alone, he paced back and forth. "I can't understand why Judith Uoesn't leave Otis," he said. "She can't still love him if she ever did." "I think pride has something to do with it," said Anne. "She knowa 6he made a mistake, but doesn't want to let the world know They were silent for a while. Then, Anne said suddenly.
