TAXES vs. MOSQUITOES<br />

(Cape May Star and Wave)<br />

The need for more Intensive mosquito<br />

control work in future summer<br />

seasons was discussed by the<br />

Cape May County Board <strong>of</strong> Freeholders<br />

recently, with Freeholder<br />

Corson recommending expansion <strong>of</strong><br />

the program and a larger appropriation<br />

for the department to make<br />

such expansion possible.<br />

Today the problem is haw to wage<br />

county-wide onslaught<br />

against<br />

mosquitoes . . . and how to finance<br />

it<br />

It is rather generally agreed<br />

that spraying DDT from airplanes Is<br />

tlie most effective means <strong>of</strong> obtaining<br />

maximum coverage, for only In<br />

that way can the insecticide be applied<br />

to the vast areas <strong>of</strong> meadowland<br />

which are otherwise Inaccessible<br />

to machinery.<br />

The Mosquito<br />

Commission is now studying the<br />

problem <strong>of</strong> spraying by aircraft.<br />

Science has provided the apswer<br />

to the' old question <strong>of</strong> what can be<br />

done<br />

It is up to the<br />

May County to let "their<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficials know whether or not they<br />

favor spending the money necessary<br />

to do a real job <strong>of</strong> jno&qulto<br />

visionary reason that escapes us.<br />

the solemn Warnings, voiced by military<br />

men In high places, that Russia is, a<br />

almost Immediate threat to our peace<br />

Then we hear that Russia Is » hollow<br />

Before tht entrance <strong>of</strong> the U,8,A.<br />

Into the conflict, we sold our sur.<br />

the very Aapong made by our contribution<br />

to that enemy's war machine.<br />

Shall we ever grow up? Shall<br />

I hope you don't think I've got a we give grain to be hoarded, coal to<br />

be hoarded and freight ears so urgently<br />

needed at home; besides all<br />

the other merchandise?<br />

If we were asked for potatoes, food<br />

reasonable emergency food — but<br />

spuds can't be stored to feed another<br />

The Great Wall <strong>of</strong> China, the pyramids<br />

Dam, (the biggest thing ever built<br />

by man) each took its toll <strong>of</strong> human<br />

lives, to be charged with their death<br />

by one or another force. Every nation<br />

has had its theories <strong>of</strong> government<br />

Wanted <strong>On</strong>e Egg; Cot Two<br />

From a copy <strong>of</strong> the Plymouth, England, Western<br />

Independent <strong>of</strong> June in, we ran across a letter written<br />

by a Plymouth Rotarian who Was attending the convention<br />

<strong>of</strong> Rotary International in San Francisco.<br />

In it he told <strong>of</strong> the prodigal waste bf food he had<br />

observed.<br />

Repeatedly he would order one egg for<br />

breakfast, but inevitably would be served with two.<br />

"Apparently the system cannot be altered," he<br />

snserved. "Last night's steiiki divided into three. I<br />

could only eat a third, although It Wat delicious. Twothirds<br />

was thrown onto the heap <strong>of</strong> food that other<br />

members <strong>of</strong> the party, found it equally impossible to<br />

tackle."<br />

' This, he said, led him to believe that England's<br />

food shortage could be met out <strong>of</strong> surplus the Americans<br />

would net BUSS.<br />

rules and laws, <strong>of</strong> the.<br />

right there you "will find<br />

liberty, and prosperity in<br />

wherever the t'<br />

Consequently, I am glad to.<br />

that we Americans are so dedlci<br />

to the basic concepts <strong>of</strong> 1»W t| l<br />

practice as they are found In -<br />

Bible. If we will look to Oodfe i<br />

(Wildwood. Leader)<br />

The dictionary defines the word<br />

"apathy" as meaning "Want <strong>of</strong> feel-<br />

Ing: lack <strong>of</strong> passion, emotion or excltemcnt;<br />

indifference to what appeals<br />

to feelings or Interest, or<br />

prompts to action."<br />

If that Is what apathy Is, then it<br />

is apathy that Is possessed by far<br />

Doubletalk<br />

WASHINGTON—Speaking <strong>of</strong><br />

doubletalk br something, a government<br />

Air Safety Board put it<br />

this way hi a recent announcement:<br />

"It Is now possible to reduce<br />

those elements <strong>of</strong> causation<br />

from tho inherent fallibility <strong>of</strong><br />

the aneroid altimeter" which<br />

lead to "collision with terrain"<br />

and to insist "upon more adequate<br />

clearance <strong>of</strong> terrain when<br />

barometric variations are likely<br />

to occilr." Or, in brief—if airplanes<br />

fly higher they won't hit<br />

mountains.<br />

' Canoer_ Is not ieredltary., It Is<br />

Call It what you will. It ls a»ltlful<br />

situation, this Junk <strong>of</strong> Interest on the<br />

part <strong>of</strong> so many people, this apparently<br />

total Indifference to the development<br />

and prosperity <strong>of</strong> the<br />

County in which they live or make<br />

their living.<br />

The situation must be very disheartening<br />

to the few wide awake,<br />

forward-looking, energetic men <strong>of</strong><br />

the county who have been making<br />

valiant efforts' to arouse the rest <strong>of</strong><br />

us from our contented slumbers.<br />

That they have continued their<br />

efforts to arouse the people <strong>of</strong> the<br />

county to their opportunities speaks<br />

mighty well for their patience and<br />

the strength <strong>of</strong> their convictions.<br />

$ome encouragement was afforded<br />

a few weeks ago when the Wildwood<br />

Rotary Club, through the enthusiasm<br />

and efforts <strong>of</strong> Will Fltipatrick<br />

and a few others, undertook an acseme<br />

spokesman In- a Govt. swivel chair, saying It ls est member <strong>of</strong> OAR.<br />
