Page e WATCH THOSE FLIES This last week of balmy, summer weather has seen people diligently working in their gardens, mowing their lawns, and generally adding to the natural beauty of the town, And of course the fisherman has been busy making preparations for a long, profitable fishing season. The children are eagerly looking forward to sumer holidays and freedom once more. However, with the good must come the bad and so we have another season of flies... black-flies, mosquitoes, sand-flies, and house flies are but a few. They are,the great= est nuisance of the summer season and proper precautions rust be taken to prevent serious results from fly bites. Just a word of advice to ardent fishernien.... include in your box of equipment a bottle of fly lotion.... there are many goods brands on the market.... this will not only make fishing more enjoyable, but will prevent the ohances of infection from fly bites, Apply the lotion liberally and frequently. others, protect the children from fly-bites by liberal applications of fly lotion especially when they are running about in play-suits and so much of their bodies are unprotected. Flies breed in filth and transmit the germs to humans by means of the hair-like follicles on their legs. So to prevent an infestation of flies and the germs they carry in such abundance remember these precautions; (1) Keep the yard clear of underbrush and other debris. (2) Place garbage, wrapped in newspaper, in a covered garbage can, (3) Spray screen windows and doors with a D.D.T. spray. (4) Use fly lotion freely for the whole family when out-doors, (5) If a person is bitten by flies bathe the area with a solution of baking soda and water to relieve the discomfort. (6) If swelling and in- flammation persists, notify the doctor immediately. Remember.... fly bites may cause infection if not properly taken care Of...ece 0-0-0 SCOUTS AND WOLF CUBS A meeting will be held Friday evening, June 17th in the Legion Hall for Scouts and Wolf Cubs.
