MARCH 18, 1971 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 15 "NO-PEST STRIP HARMLESS" The Canada Department of Agriculture has confirm ed once again that the Shell Vapona *NO-PEST* Strip is completely safe for controlling insects in homes and restaurants. The Department carried out an extensive test program on the Strip and, as a result, concluded that recent reports in the press that the Strip may be harmful, were groundless. The Government announcement, says, " ... the use of the Vapona Strip in accordance with label directions does not cause a hazard to human health." Users of the Strip will welcome this added evidence of the product's absolute safety. = i -- NOTICE TO SCHREIBER CABLE CUSTOMERS Sometime during March, W.D.
