Reynolds Warns
Against Prices
Of DDT On Market
RALEIGH Dr. Carl V. Reyn
olds, state health officer, today
authorized a statement on DDT,
now commercially available, to a
discussion of which the October
issue of The Uealth Bulletin, offi
cial publication of the Slate Board
of Health, will be devoted in its
entirety, for the information of
the public.
The Board of Health's release on
DDT, prepared from material com
piled by the board's disease control
experts, follows:
Many claims have been made
for; consequently, much interest
has been aroused in DDT, the
remarkable new insecticide that
promises to revolutionize home
sanitation, in the elimination of
Hies, mosQuitoes, fleas and other
carriers of fiUh and germs. Its
potentialities already have been
proved in the field of public health,
especially in maluria and typhus
control, involving the extermina
tion of mosquitoes and llcas.
Much that has been written
about DDT has been more sensa
tional than correct.. Some writers
have given the product more free
and unsolicited advertising than
lias ever been accorded any other
article before it was placed on the
markei for general use. This cre
ated a demand so widespread that
it is comparatively easy for un
scrupulous or unqualified produc
ers to gyp the public by putting
out an inferior product--often con
taining little or no DDT, at fabu
lous prices.
DDT is now commercially avail
able for general use. Genuine DDT
is nut expensive. If it wire, the
purposes for which it is intended
would be thwarted.
The Stat Board of Health has
received quotations from several
producers of DDT, and has ascer
tained the price the United States
Public Health service pays for
xylene and triton. used to make up
a spray. The basic costs of the in
gredients used in one gallon of a
five per cent solution is approxi
mately thirty-five cents. Reports
have been received of purchases
being made in the state at prices
as high as $4.50 per gallon. The
price, purchased in large quanti
ties, of the ingredients used in one
gallon of a 35 per cent concentrate,
is approximately $1.90. Several
health officers have received quota
tions running as high as $10 per
gallon. Such prices are considered
exhorbitant .and beyond all reason
able profit margins.

Pvt. Wm. D. Parton, son of Mrs.
Cumi Parton, of Waynesville, has
been honorably discharged from

NEED FOR STRONG BUILDINGS
PROVEN IN HURRICANE
The Soutli Florida residents had
their first real test of hurricane-resistant-built
houses in the week
end storm. The fact that there
were so few casualties is mostly
due to the fact of the city's build
ing code for these hurricane-proof
constructed buildings. Flimsy
houses fell before the terrific wind
like stacked cards.

per cent of the vitamin C it had
when freshly cooked.

State College Hints
Home economists say that such
freshly harvested Irish potatoes
as those now on the market offer
more vitamin C than those coming
on the markets from winter stor
age. Serve potatoes any way you
wish but cook them with care be
cause this saves vitamin C as well
as B-vitamins and minerals which
this vegetable offers Do not ( ook
large and small ones togethe r. I lie
small ones will be overcooked.
A triangle and transparent ruler,
which high school members of the
family used in geomelry elas cs.
can take a permanent place in the
sewinu room. A transparent rnier.
(i inches long with one-eighth inch
marks on sides and ends is a great
help in measuring hems, seams.
and spaces between buttons. A
triangle is useful to square such
pattern corners as yokes.
When you do find sheets for
sale, don't be stampeded by the
mere sight of thein and snatch
them up, regardless. Look for a
label giving size, and remember
that "torn size" means the size be
fore hemming. Ton short sheets
like too short blankets are un
comfortable and necessarily sub
ject to more strain than those
which are long enough to tuck in
firmly and, for the top sheet, turn
back far enough to protect tin
blanket or other bedclothes.
Keep sugar sirup on hand for
sweeteuing fruit drinks and iced
ua. It goes farther than plain
sugar. To prepare, boil 'together
for three to five minutes equal
parts of sugar and water. Keep
covered tightly in refrigerator.
Mrs. Hugh Smith, 3r-vear-old
wife of a Caister center farmer,
Dunville, Ont., really wanted a
girl to make up the family already
consisting of two boys and one girl
all under five. Instead she receiv
ed a complete quartette, two boys
and two girls.
