'Several types of encephalitis has been spreading to many areas in which they have hot formerly oc curred. , A'rtificlal ponds serve as ideal breeding places for mosqui toes whichjearry this disease. Ma laria aa fee transmitted from one persMt to another through the bite of antpsrfiafr mosquito. .In North Carolina only one species, the Anopheles qnadrimaculatus, can carry this disease. As the Anophe les mosquito is aot able to pass the infection from mother to offspring, the only method by which she can become Infected is by taking a blood meal from a person suffering from tiwi diseases If ah area is free of malaria, the mosquitoes will not become Infected, but if an in fected person should move into the community or merely stay over night and is bitten by a malaria mosquito, this mosquito becomes a potential spreader of the disease and may infect several other per sons who in turn will infect other mosquitoes. Eventually, the entire' community or area may become in fected. " .: .i,;..; '.V.:-V;-. "' "Over fifty different types of mosquitoes have been found in Jorth Carolina. They: all look no more alike thaa the various species of birds, bat in one way they are alike, all must have water in which to breed,. Some will breed only in receptacles having artificial bot toms such as tin cans, flower vas es, or old rubber' tires containing water. , Many breed in foul water or water having a high acid cop tent, while others prefer large-bod ies of reasonably fresh clean water. ne , maiam . mosquito breeds. ,xq ponds; ditches,; and fttherjiesjof fresh water Where fhe icidityi is not too high. Conditions favorable far; breeding of fmalasla, mosquitoes ares fA eonstone water levell coir lections flotage and other debris, aquatic vegetation which pierces the water surface, little' or no wave action, and the absence of natural enemies of mosquito larvae, such as top minnows. , "In recent years, many ponds have been built throughout North, Carolina, and in order to prevent certain "types of ponds that might Invite malaria mosquito breeding (ponds containing' constant , water level, drift, flotage, or vegetation), a regulation was adapted, requiring the prospective pond-builder to se cure a permit from the N. C. State Board of Health. "This law con cerns arty body of water formed by the construction or excavation of a basin or the obstruction of a stream flow in such a manner as to cause the collection of a Jbody of water which would not have formed under ; natural conditions. Ponds covering less than M of an acre are not included iu these reg ulations.". .' i; ;V! v ".Before a person- can. obtain a permit to impound water, he must fill out an application, which is sub-1 mitted to the Engineering Division of th State Board of Health. This application provides for a descrip tion of the pond and includes an agreement to comply with the reg ulations. The local health depart ment, upon receiving information needed which entitles him to build a pond but does not authorize its im poundment.

This per mit can be revoked in the future if the pond is not satisfactorily rtajjrtainecL" , ,, 'tn; the Pasquotank-Perquimans-Camden-Chowan counties Health District during the years 1946-1955 thirteen applications were received and seven Impoundment permits granted. Some ponds for which ap plications were made will never be built; some have not been complet ed; others were not finished 'in ac cordance . with the requirements. Many ponds have been built in the past year for- irrigation purposes. "On small ponds which have been properly planned . and constructed, satisfactory maintenance can usual ly be accomplished by keeping the shoreline free of drift, flotage, and marginal vegetation. A 'clean' pond, practically eliminates the ma laria' mosquito breeding problem. A special effort should be made to prevent the introduction of aquatic plants, such' as bulrushes, cattails, and . parrot -feather. ,i Periodic (in spections should be made around the edges of the pond and if aqua tic yegetation.is found, it shou be removed at once to' jrefeni! spread- ing.;';- ,n 4 -5 "Fluctuation of the water level aids greatly Jn discouraging t the growth of vegetation and should be practiced when the water supply permits. During the Winter, months the elevation of water in the pond should be held at the maximum un til -the beginning of the malaria mosqujto-breeding'seasort, which is usually around the middle of April or the first of May. Then by drop ping the elevation sharply for me or two feet, ; much objectionable flotage will be stranded. The 'wa ter should be raised, and lowered within the fluctuation limits, By holding it up for about k tfeek, much of the terrestrial vegetation along the' margin would 'W drown ed.

In other wor is, the available State funds for 1056-57 will be $9,564,218 greater than, for the year 1954-55. The greatest portion of, the total fund appropriated is tor the op eration of the nine months school term. This fund" was Increased more than six million dollars for 1SS3-56, the increase' being based largely on the antieipafcil incre'se in public school enrollment for that year. ! . sW!,i. lS-iWll There wag a alight decrease In the. amount appropriated for .voca tional education for 1955-68 over thf figure for the preceding year. Decreases were made in appropria tions for the purchase of tesCosks and buses. For buses, however, an increase was granted for 1956-57.

In ponds which are- kept" clean of vegetation and flotage, small fish; such as the ga musia or top minnow, if kept in the pond in sufficient numbers, will destroy mosquito larvae before de veloping' into adult mosquitoes.
