They are inside the windows, outside the windows and between the windows. They are in the basement, attic, sun-room and living quarters. Old houses, new houses, brick houses, frame houses, arena and churches all are buzzing with flies. In one church, the rector had difficulty giving communion. Many residents are spending the day with a fly-swatter in one hand and a tin of Raid in the other, while their neighbors are vacuuming their homes several times a day, only to find an hour later, hundreds of "relatives" have arrived to attend the "wake" of their murdered kin. What these pests live on, no one knows, for they use the wind- ows as a race-way and all day long, up and down and round about they race, humming like a.swarm of bees driving residents half crazy. Where they came from is also a mystery. If they holidayed in Florida they have returned with all their kin-folk, even unto the third and fourth generation. Verily the locusts of Biblical days couldn't have been worse than these pests of 1968.
