It is only common sense to reduce mosquito bites by keeping out of their way as much as possible. • Repair holes in your screens and make sure they fit tightly. • Mow your weeds and grass frequently, trim hedges and remove all unneces- sary vegetation, which protects adult mosquitoes from sun and wind. • Provide netting for the protection of babies and young children. • Close the damper on your fireplace when it's not in use. • Wear loose protective clothing with long sleeves where mosquitoes are abundant. • Lighter coloured clothing attracts fewer mosquitoes than dark clothing. Many efficient insect repellents are available, but always read the label and follow instructions. How to stop them Mosquitoes usually develop in still water so the best way to eliminate them is to do away with still-water breeding sites, wher- ever they exist. You can do your share. • Eliminate all standing water around your home. • Fill in low areas to prevent water gathering. • Make sure drainage ditches and gutters aren't clogged with trash. • Clean blocked drainpipes and drain water from flat roofs. • Dispose of empty cans and old tires, and up-end buckets and other containers left outdoors. • Change water in wading pools, ponds and bird baths every few days. • Keep your swimming pool properly chlorinated and filtered. Insecticides and pesticides should be used carefully. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. from bree g. In 1975, a type of encephalitis spread by certain mosquitoes occurred in Ontario for the first time. There were about 70 cases, mostly in Southwestern Ontario. Weather conditions were better last summer. And the Ontario Ministries of Environment and Health worked with municipalities and the public to combat mosquitoes where they bite and where they breed. Only four cases of encephalitis were reported last summer. We were lucky. But we were also prepared. We will be prepared again this summer. Most mosquito bites will be simply a nuisance. If, however, symptoms of encephalitis occur, such as drowsiness, loss of appetite, fever, headache, nausea and vomiting, consult your family doctor. A free pamphlet on mosquito control is available on request from your local health unit or any office of the Ministry of the Environment. Hon. George A.

It sets wholesome examples of cleanliness in thought, word and deed. It provides an atmosphere of restfulness, ease and sunshine. A good home shows Christian kindness, consideration and understanding. These ideals can be attained by a happy marriage with a spirit of cooperation in the family. These Christian ideals must be caught in the home. If this is done, it could mean a new Canada, a nation of righteousness.

The amount I'm out is only $2.35 which is what I sent LAST SPRING to Rockwood Gardens in Acton, supposedly for a climbing strawberry plant. My money order was promptly cashed and that's the last I've heard, in spite of numerous letters I've sent. I was quite prepared to write this off to experience but a friend suggested I write IMPACT with the hope that you might still be able to do something even after a year. A brief reply tells me that, "your original order must have been lost, but that another plant has now been sent." Not a word was men- tioned however, about all your letters of enquiry, nor the ignoring of same. It has come to our atten- tion that The American Puz- zle Association from Los Angeles is currently mailing out pamphlets to some On- tario public school children promoting an "American Birthday Contest." However, in order for the child to enter, he or she must pay an en- trance fee of $1.00 to $8.00 depending on how much they hope to win. Under California law this type of contest is valid provided the firm state the number of anticipated en- trants, the probable percen- tage of contestants expected to solve the puzzle correctly, and the maximum money it may cost the participant in order to win.

The topic was money and things to share. The Girls made lists of how they raised their money by allowance, gifts or earnings and how they spent it. Also, how the church raises money and spends it caring for others. Bible study was in Matthew and Mark. Lists were made of things money can't buy. From pictures of winter coats and boots they chose how to spend $50. Money from pop cans helped to pay the share of the mission boat on B.C. Coast. The story of the talents was read from Matthew and each girl was given 25 cents to spend in the coming week in the best way she could think of.
