This year Laurel Smith and

dedication and expertise of
excellent leaders, the co-ordination
and support of the Group
Committee, the fmancial support of
the Blyth Legion and the Blyth
Lions, the support of parents,
volunteers and the community, and
most of all because of the
enthusiasm of the boys.

Mosquitoes don't fly off and die
after they bite. Throughout its
lifetime, a mosquito can bite up to
five more times. Almost every time
a mosquito feeds on a human host,
she will go and lay up to 200 eggs.
Male mosquitoes are the first to
hatch but never bite.
