When a mate mosquito, says to • a female mosquito, "let's go out for a bite to cat this evening," they have entirely different ideas about dining The male, a pleasant and all • able fellow who feds on.the nec- tar from flowers, will make a bee line for the nearest petunia. The female, who feeds on the blood of man or animals, will head for the nearest unscreened porch and proceed to snake a pest of herself, mosquitoes which you can find about the house, or mare accu- rately, Which can find you. 4 r. In the northern part of the United States and in Canada the northern house mosquito is most widely distributed, The southern house mosquito is common in the southern states. There is a tropi- cal mosquito which inhabits the Latin American countries and is also found hr the south, The salt marsh mosquito is buzzing about beginning as early as 'March or April. wherever there are salt marshes, writes Emilie Tavel in The Christian Science Monitor, 4: * a The house mosquito is a stay- at-home, He hangs around the house, inside or outside, and rarer' flies more than a mile away. The tropical mosquito i5 even lazier. He won't venture more than a few yards from his breeding place. >, 4, 4, But the salt marsh mosquito Is a traveler. He doesn't mind going out of his way to be a nuisance, It is nothing for him to fly 75 miles from home base. r „ Besides green lawns and pretty posies, rain also means mosqui- toes. U.S. government entomolo- gists believe the heavy rains will increase mosquito numbers, A rain barrel or an old tin can is home sweet home to a mosquito. Some species lay their eggs on the surface of water and these hatch and mature in a little over a week, To rid a residence of mosqui- toes, seek out and eliminate if possible all areas where water has collected, Bird baths, for in- stance, should be washed out thoroughly once a week. Flat roofs, eave troughs or street gutters ,nay harbor breeding grounds. Rain barrels or tubs in should be tightly covered, Warwhich watr.i may be stored V, M For water an the premises which cannot be removed, treat it with a tablespoon of kerosene or 5 per cent DDT oil solution scattered on top of the water. But take care not to apply DDT to water used for cooking or drinking. And do not use DDT on a pool containing fish, a a i Lik.e marl;; people, mosquitoes like to spend their summers in the mountains: For fancily camp- ers or small groups it is rarely feasible to wipe out mosquitoes in the larvae stage. Their best protection is in destroying the adult mosquito as he tights on ground cover during' the daytime hours, or as he fliea*during tite tarty evening hours. A tong -tasting DDT residciai ;pray applied, to vegetation in ind around the camp site will lestroy mosquitoes lighting on it.

She ctln be relaxed about her entertaining. She can be gracious at buffet and terrace; suppers and preside happily over small, simple teas. She and her husband can, luckily, see their friends oftener and with less fuss and feathers. She may even start her new life and her entertaining on her wedding day with a brietal buf- fet. It's gained increasing ac- ceptance with June brides be- cause it's the easiest way to han- dle a large number of guests with the least trouble and ex- pense. This is a Coronation year and when the June bride comes home from her honeymoon she'll want to start her entertaining icor her mother's friends she'll probably plan a simple tea. One in which she can use a Coronation theme and set her tea table at its pret- tiest.

Such a machine weighs from 50 to 30 pounds, is compact enough to be carried in the car, end is well worth its weight in comfort to the camper.. Dramatic Sounds What are the ten most dramatic sounds in everyday life? A group of psychologists chose as the most dramatic sound a baby's first cry. They agreed that this sound contains a variety of emotions - happiness, excitement and a tinge of sadness. Number two on their list was the siren, i,e., the ambulance, 'police or fire sirens. There is a direct association, they thought, between this sound and the automatic fear° excitement and emotional upheaval it causes subconciously, Following these two were other sounds cnosen for the emotion they contained and evoked: Thunder of breakers on a rocky beach: `Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar" of the poet Matthew Arnold, which has brought the surge and mystery of cosmic power to so many centuries of human beings. The roar and crackle of a forest fire: The, danger of a fire is one of the basic primitive fears. Any- one who has witnessed the roar of a forest fire will never. forget the terror and strange grandeur of that experience.• Foghorn: Its low melancholy wail suggests the drama of hope, warning and helplessness. The slow drip of water: Mono- tony itse,le possesses a strange kind of drama, Each halting drop becomes a minuscule of _eternity. Gallop of a herd of horses: Strength and beauty of unbridled • animal life. Sound of conflicting rythms ,suggests drama of wild animal life. Footsteps on a quiet night: The drama off adventure of the un- known. Whistle of a train on a 5011 night: Combination of the unusual and acceptance of one's circum- stances, Howl of a dog: Regardless of what" •canine cause (or canine emotion arousing the call), it suggests the drama of loneliness -of' the individual against the world.

Must Gentiles who became Chris- tians be circumcised and fulfill certain requirements of Jewish ceremonial law? Certain teach- ers went about among Paul's converts saying that the law must be observed. Paul said, "No", and he said it with no small emphasis. Speaking of these men who would bring the Gentile Christians into bondage he writes, "To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. Paul was so confident that he was right that he fought for Christian liberty before the high- est court of the church in the council at Jerusalem. The apos- tles agreed that Paul should con- tinue his ministry among the heathen requiring only that they refrain from meat offered to idols, from blood, from things strangleci and from fornication. Paul could not conceive ul a Jewish Christian church and a Gentile Christian church. Jew and Gentile were one in Christ Jesus, In this he saw more clearly than Peter. Peter had been eating with the Gentiles at Antioch but when some carate from Jerusalem he withdrew and Barnabas followed his example. Peter war to be blamed. 01 Peter and Barnabas Paul said, "I saw that they walked not up- Gulpl-Nat Jonah and the whole but only a curious visitor at an Air Force equipment display. Peering into the intake of a jet fighter is Thomas Wing. rightly- according to the truth of the gospel." He withstood Peter to the face. The church owe, much to Paul for seeing that the gospel was kept in its purity. •Ile said, "P do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." We are not saved by • our works, holt*ever good they may be, 1'/e ere saved by the faith of the Son of God. We are saved by this faith and we must live by it. 1f eve were saved by money, social standing or educa- tion, many would be left out. But salvation by faith -opens flue door to all, "Bicycles?

It's Easier Now The young lads who used to spend most of Saturdays on their knees weeding the lawn have it easier today. That backbreaking job has disappeared. All that is necessary now is to spray with one of the chemical Weed kill- ers. A couple of applications about a month apart, (to catch any weeds that may have sprout- ed after the first application) wilt keep a lawn practically weed free. For driveways and paths these sprays can also be used and if we wish to stop all growth, grass as well as weeds, we can use other materials like special chem- ical sprays, rock salt or used en- gine oil, Some of these things eyi),J alto keep down the dust, and pro[ect from frost. Treat 'Em hough Most beginners hate to do some very necessary surgery. Take the bedding plants. These are well - started annuals in both the Hower and vegetable line which- are grown from seed, sown indoors or in hotbeds, or are bought from the seedsmen or florists, usually about a dozen to the box or flat. The beginner is inclined to set these out without any pinching back, or without even removing flower buds or flowers. If just before or after planting one pinches off quite a lot of the growth, and especially all flowers or buds, one will get much sturdier growth and in the end more flowers or hardiness. For Quality The main thing in getting ten- derness in vegetables is to grow them quickly, especially the sorts A farmer, aired of being single went to town, chose a wifemart• tied her, put her on the back of. his horse and started home.
