— MOST COMMON HOUSEHOLD INSECT PESTS The following is a brief summary of the life history and habits of each of the insects commonly found in the home. Household injects such as roaches, 1 waterings, silverfish, flies and mosquitoes, etc., are familiar to most house wires in spite of the most diligent housecleaning and preventive measures employed. The following information trill provide a better understanding of the problems involved in maintaining a bug-free home. , v ROACHES: All roaches are char acterized by an offensive sickening odor that may contaminate food, dish es or oflier surfaces over which they run. They hide during the day in sheltered dark places where they may congregate in large masses. They may be found around the kitchen sink and drainboards; in the cracks around or underneath cupboards and cabinets or inside them, especially in the upper corners; behind drawers; around pipes or conduits; behind window or door frames; behind loose baseboard or molding strips; inside the motor compartment of refrigerators; on the underside of the table and chairs; and in the bathroom. CLOTHES MOTHS: Clothes moths or “Millers”, as they are sometimes called, are responsible for more dam age to home furnishings than any other insect. The adult moths, or "Millers,” themselves do no damage; all of the damage is caused by the larval stage. The larvae actually feed upon wool, hair, fur, feathers and a wide range of commodities manufac tured from these materials. Do not overlook the fact that woolen lint and hair accumulated in floor cracks, un der the quarter round and baseboards, are often fertile breeding grounds. Dog and cat hairs may also harbor moths. Moths and their larvae will thrive on carpeting beneath heavy pieces of furniture that are not often moved. Moths do not eat cotton, lin en, rayon, silk or vegetable fibers. ANTS: Ants are prpbably the most persistent of all of the insect enemies of man. As small and as ac tive as they are, together with their liking for most every kind of human food, make them an everpresent nuis ance very difficult to control. Ants are attracted l>y all kinds of food, bits of which they break off and carry to their nests. They also swarm tc sweet liquids which may be spill ed and will even make off with, and store, grains and seeds. While in most homes they are usually seen in the kitchen, they will be attracted to all parts of the house where crumbs or scraps of food are left. FLIES: The adult housefly is a curious insect and it will go anywhere and feed on anything. Their promis cuous habits result in polluting their bodies with filth and dropping it wherever they may go. They are ac tive mostly only in the daytime. They have a keen sense of smell and a thrist for most all liquids. They have been known to range anywhere from 50 yards to 13 miles although they seldom go any farther than necessary for food or a place to lay their eggs. SILVERFISH Silverfish thrive and breed in damp warm basements from where they spread to the rest of the house. The female lays her eggs late ir. the spring and these may hatch in from 6 to 10 days in warm weather. The eggs are not attached and may roll around freely. The young closely resemble the adult in all immature stages except in size, and in temper ate climes, take about 2 years to ma ture. Silverfish develop slowly and have few young, but are very hardy and can survive long periods without food.

About Pedestrians Hi Pedestrians often are at fault them selves in pedestriwi-automobile mis haps, according to a study by the 1 State Department of Motor Vehicles.. In the 248 fatal pedestrian cases listed in 1952, 106 of the walkers kill ed were guilty of “crossing not at in - tersection,” 23 were “coming from be hind parked cars", 11 were “playing in roadway,” and 7 were “lying in roadway.” Seven were “standing in roadway,” three were “crossing against signal”, and two were “pushing er working on vehicle in roadway.” Vets* Question Pox Q —l’m a Korean veteran with a service-connected disability and I’m thinking of taking out a term GI in surance policy. May I convert thfs policy later to a permaneht plan of GI insurance? A—There are two types of term policies available to post-Korea vet erans. One is primarily for the non disabled and is not convertible. The other is only for the disabled and is convertible. If you get the latter, you l may convert it to a permanent plan , later. Q —l’m a World War I veteran, and my U. S. Government Life Insurance permanent policy has just lapsed, through oversight on my part. When I reinstate, must I pay interest on , the‘premiums in arrears, A—You won’t be required to pay in terest if you reinstate within three 1 months from the due date of the J premium in default. If you wait lon ger than that, 4 per cent interest compounded annually must be paid on the premiums in arrears. Q —ls there any time limit I have 1 to meet, in starting training under the Korean GI Bill? I have just re ’ ceived my discharge. A—You must begin your training [ within two years of the date of your ’ discharge.

A mid-westerner was sitting on the beach watching a fair and very stout bather enjoy herself in the surf. He knew nothing of tides and did not notice that each succeeding wave came a little closer to his feet. At last an extra big wave splashed over his shoe tops. “Hey, there!” he yelled at the fair, fat bather, ‘*Quit your jumpin’ up and down. D’yuh want to drown me?” How ready we are to blame the do I apply? A—You’ll need your original dis charge or separation paper. The place to apply is your nearest VA regional office. Q —l'm a disabled World II veteran, and I’ve delayed entering training under Public Law 16 until now. How much training will I be allowed to get? A—You may train for as long as is necessary to restore your ability to earn a living at the objective you’ve selected. However, the course you take must be one that can be com pleted by July 25, 1956, the legai end ing date of the Public Law 16 pro gram. Q —To train under the Korean GI Bill, I understand that I need at least 90 days military service, unless I was discharged sooner for a disability. Must all the 90 days have occurred af ter the Korean fighting began ? A—Not necessarily.

Without thinking we try to excuse ourselves for the embarrass ment we feel by putting the blame on someone else or something else. To make excuses is easy. Almost every one does it—excepting successful folks. If they make excuses at all, they make excuses for the other fel low, and accept the responsibility sos error themselves.
