Mrs. E. 'Carson, See, Gorrie Red Crosse neSaorm i4enf c rSti CalLPo l l received a box from the Gorrie Red Cross, which was re-directed to me, and which reached me several weeks after Easter. I was more than pleased to get this Parcel. I did not expect that you would have any name on your list for I have been away from Gorrie for several years. Please tell the Red Cross how thaekful I am. Let them also knoW that the contents were wonderful. Every article was most acceptable, What is better than a box from home? Since early March I have been in Germany for most of the time. I, am now one one of the old Krupp farms- near Oldenburg. Last week; however, I had business in Holland and Bel- gium, so I went to France alsb, saw the graves of the following men who used to live in. the vicinity of Gorrie: Marshall Musgrove, Ogal McLeod, Tom Savage, Jack Ringler, W. A. Underwood, Alex Rosmussen, Ralph Smith, Jim McNaughton, and Frank Renwick. I also saw Colin Mc- Naughton's name on the Mennin Gate at the entrance to Yyres, Belgium. Every grave receives the best of hare, I took pictures of these graves with the intention of showing them to their people. When we went to get the pictures developed however, we found a mechanical defect in the camera which had not been noticed, but which made the pictures useless, When I return, nevertheless, I will visit the homes of these boys where there will still be memories. I have tried to get to Jack Newton's grave, but so far this has been impossible. Perhaps I shall have better luck later. Well, I can think of no more to say that would, interest you, except this. Since the "cease fire" over here we are all looking for a speedy return to Can- ada. I hope to see many of you then, Again let me say thanks for the wonderful parcel. 1 . Yours sincerely, W. G.

Cana- dian farmers are among the first civil- ians in the world to have the oppor- tOnity of buying a DDT insecticide for use in insect control. Until recently DDT was restricted almost entirely to military use in con- trolling lice, mosquitoes, flies and other disease-carrying insects in com- bat areas. Production of DDT in Canada not required for such purpose has made this new development pos- sible. Priority was given to the ose of DDT in the form of a barn spray as being of value in increasing food production, a vital need at the present time. The Department explains that the DDT barn or stable spray is a residual spray and should not be sprayed into the air as is an ordinary fly spray, but should 'be applied to wall, ceilings and other surfaces frequented by flies and other insects, in a fairly coarse spray sufficient to wet the surface without allowing too much run-off. One gal- lon is sufficient to treat about 1,500 square feet, and a portable compressed air sprayer is satisfactory far applying it. The dry deposit of DDT left on the treated surfaces after the liquid carrier has exaporated may continue to kill flies and mosquitoes that come in contact with it for several weeks after the application. The Department says that DDT spray must not be applied to live stock, as the chemical is a poison and in oil solution is absorbed through the skin. Care should also be taken not to spray it on foodstuffs, The person applying the spray should avoid wet- ting his own skin,. in so far as pos- sible, by wearing protective clothing and by washing exposed parts thor- oughly in soap and water as soon as the spraying is finished, There is nothing to fear from the dry deposit on the wails, however, as DDT is not absorbed in the dry state, The DDT barn sprays have been prepared specially for use in farm buildings such as cattle barns, horse stables and piggeries, and are not in- tended for household use, says the Department, A three year old girl was sitting be- side the road crying. A man Caine by and asked what was the matter. The girl answered, "My mother has killed the eat." "Well," said the man, "I will boy you another cat," "No, thank you," she said, "I just wanted to kill it, my- Self," Thursday, August 23, 1945 WINGNAM ADVANCE-T1MES PAGE GORRIE Mr. and Mrs. Robert Montgomery of Montreal, who were visiting rela- tives in this community last week, left for Edmonton on Sunday morning.
