Mel Stewart returned recently,
from completing an air lift op

Jrpnrore deposit^ in barren Lab7;
tador. This air lift was the6 big-^
gest , civilian ’dperatipn ever at
tempted,* and the interior devel-
opment’ was started, byTflying

plane. The rail line is now well]
advanced that will bring the ore.
out to a lake shipping point. The
ore can be scooped up from the
surface of the ground. .
■ But, what we started out to
say, was, that . when Mel first
went in his, attention was direct
ed to a clipping from The Sen
tinel on. the bunkhouse wall. It
referred to him joining the dir
' lift operation.
It had been sent to Johnny
Weston, also an airlift pilot, by
his mother in Toronto. John is
a nephew of the late R. J. Moore
and as a lad visited here in the
summers.
Mel and John , got to talking
about Lucknow. The1 only name
John could remember was that
of Reid McKim, but, “you won’t
k now him, he’s been gone from
there for some time”, added
Johnnie. “Oh no!” replied Mel,
“he’s only my brother-in-law”.-

j Everything of value jo-,. the /

Public Health Act respecting
Fumigation and extermination be
come effective January 1, 1954.
The new regulations deal spec
ifically with the insect vapouriz-
ers that dispense Lindane. This
device,Jias been .commonly used
in dwelling houses, schools, dairy
barns, places where food or drink
is prepared, stored or served. The
new regulations prohibit the use
of Lindane in vapourizing de
vices, under, such circumstan^-
The reason for this regulation
is the proven danger to human
health. Not only from the breath
ing of air drenched With insect
icide, but from the- ingestion of
the poison which can accumulate
in foodstuffs, etc.It/is to be greatly stressed that
the practise of positive sanitation, j
good foodhandling, cleanliness & V1
sanitary garbage disposal is still *
the safest and most efficient way
of controlling insects.
If chemicals are to be used to
supplement good sanitary pracL
ise, then a pyrethrum spray with
or without .piperonyl butbxide is
one of the safest and most effici
ent ’ sprays that can be used.
These__chemicals—^-are—contact

removed and. destroyed by burn
