Wanted: Pied
Piper To Rid
N. C. Of Rats
?
RALEIGH. ? Is there anybody j
in North Carolina who can
blow a mean flute? Or maybe
someone interested in making
their first million friends,
would like to go into the rat
exterminating business?
Anybody, yes, North Carolina
would welcome anybody who
could rid the state of its over
whelming rodent population.
For, according to Charles B.
Woodhouse, rodent control ex
pert of the State College Ex
tension Service, Tar Heel rats
already outnumber Tar Heel
residents.
Furthermore, they caused an
estimated damage of between
seven and eight million dollars
one-time glamor gal of the high
seas, who set a North Atlantic
speed record in 1935, is a bum
now. The navy doesn't know
what to do about her because
she is a waster and eats up
money like other ships eat coal.
The 38,000-ton Normandie cost
the French line about $59,000,000
to build, and maintenance costs
now run to about $250,000. The
word around the New York
waterfront is that the Norman
die is strictly a jinx ship. One
of the shipyard workers, who is
playing nursemaid to the ailing
vessel, says:
"She's a bad luck ship and it
serves her right to end up broke
in Brooklyn, like any other
wharf rat. The first time she
came into New York she tried
to knock down her pier and to
kill a man."
Then; as you know, four
years ago she caught fire at
her Hudson river pier and cap
sized. The Normandy has never
recovered from that accident.
The navy is how trying to fig
ure out what to do with the
inanimated whale that lies in
its death throes at its berth; It
cost more than four and a half
million dollars to raise her and
it is estimated that it would
take at least $20,000,000 to send
her back to sea.
One unsympathetic naval of
ficer has a solution to the prob
lem. He says: "It might be
cheaper to take her out and
sink her in the middle of the
Atlantic."

Normandie Is

NEW YORK. ? The once proud

and naval experts say she may
never sail again.
The former luxury liner now
leans sadly in her pier like a
tired old lady who has lived too
long, and too well, and is wait

to property, fowls and animals I
In the state last year. Each rat, I
Woodhouse says, Is charged with | 1
an annual property damage of i ?
$2. Tor example, a resident of j v
Goldsboro, scene of a recent rat I
clean-up drive, reported the loss 8
to Rodents, of 50 broilers, weigh
ing between two and three
pounds each.
The rats are becoming bolder
as time goes by, Woodhouse de
clares, painting out that many
have been observed in cities
during daylight, probably laying
plans for a protentlal night
raid.
. Meanwhile, organized rat con
trol programs have been com
pleted in Smithfield, Mocksvllle,
Cooleemee, Goldsboro and
Stoneville. Other drives are
scheduled for Benson and Can
ton as part of the extension
service effort.
Woodhouse says that more
than 1,200 pounds of red squill
bait is used for mixing with
raw fish, scrap cornmeal and j
oatmeal in a town the size of '
Mocksville. However, the newest
rodenticide, 1080, while widely ,
used, is not set in areas which ]
can't be closed to domestic ani- <
mals because of its rapid lethal 1
action.
"The state could virtually rid
itself of rats within three or
four years," Woodhouse claims,
"if each local community would
conduct its own eradication
campaign once a year." 1
