Show BOX ELDER NEWS, Brigham City, Utah Sunday, March 22, 1970 ... by Bruce California here we come. Its definite. The Pow Wow tribe will visit the Golden Gate state this summer on a Vacation. Everyone is excited. We're going to rent a cottage on the beach and live a life of ease for a brief week. Of course it wasn't easy reaching the decision. "What, I exclaimed to the missus, "rent a cottage on the beach? But you know how those girls run around with practically nothing on! Do we have to go to the beach?" "Yes," she replied firmly, "you'll have fun. And if a shapely girl comes by in a bikini, you can look the other way." "Well, all right," sighed. much-anticipat- I We plan to visit Disneyland, a promise made to the children several years ago. So you know what a fellow worker told me yesterday? You'll have a great time at Disneyland but 'let me give you a tip . . . dont take the kids." There are two things definite on this scribe's agenda: To see a major league baseball game and go to San Diego and look at the many naval vessels tied up there. The baseball game offers a Set April 18 challenge. One friend of mine said he got tickets to a Giants contest and didnt even have to pay city tax on them. His seats were so far back that he was out in the county. No kids came by with peanuts, 'just St. Bernard dogs with casks tied to their neck. Needless to say, we'd 'like to sit a little doser than that. About going to San Diego. Ol Pow Wow took boot training there as a member of Uncle Sams Navy and his fondness for the service recalls that colloquialism: It's a lousy place to visit but wouldn't want to live there."

If you have your wish, Mr. McDonald, that is the outlawing of DDT in mosquito control work, do you realize what you and others like yourself, willmeaning people, will do? Of course you are probably victims of some few radicals that have been sponsoring this campaign. But what you have done to us is this: You (and others) have taken one of the best inexpensive insecticides that was ever produced away from us. So what?? You say there are others. Yes, you talk about in finding Parathion, had you been interested out, you would have found that we stopped the use of DDT and used mainly Parathion for three years and in that time we had some varities of mosquitoes becoming tolerant or immune to it, so we went back to DDT. Yet in all the years of DDT usage, no tolerance to DDT. Also the cost of these other insecticides: Parathion, $12 per gallon, Diazinon, $17 per gallon, Dibrom 14, $35 per gallon; Abate, $35 ; Dursban $40 gallon; DDT 25 percent $1 per gallon. Oh yes, you say but look at the damage to wildlife and man. Okay, lets look at it. With all the millions of pounds of DDT misused there has been some damage to wildlife, but, to man, and I quote from the "Clinical Handbook on Economic Poisons," published by U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare, page 61 . . . "there is no well described cas6 of fatal, uncomplicated DDT poisioning. The lives of thousands and thousands of people have been saved by DDT both from control of insects affecting man and affecting crops. Parathion is extremely poisonous in concentrated form and Dursban is quite poisonous to the applicator. We have used DDT only in areas that are allowed to be used under the USDA and USPHS recommendations and reports from the Bear River refuge are they could find no reason to believe any of our control activities have affected any of the bird population adversley. Getting back to price. Comparing our district to other districts, both in the state and out of state, we are operating on about 10 percent of the funds necessary. DDT has been a teriffic help here because where it could be used, and this is in a majority of the sub marginal area, it would last from seven to 10 days. Parathion and Baytex, last 24 hours, Diazinon three to five days, Dursban 5 to seven days, etc. Our primary concern is disease transmitting mosquitoes and one mainly, Culex Tarsalis. This in variety transmits encephalitis or sleeping sickness these have of We horses. in fever brain many people, and mosquitoes hatching here from June to August we have the reservoirs of source of the virus. This source is varied, migratory birds, water snakes, domestic chickens. One year we had nine people die from this disease. Since then we have had no new transmissions, after the initial or first case in a given area I believe this has been due mostly to our control activities. And now if we have to buy the more expensive exinsecticides, of course, our budget will become hausted sooner, leaving nothing for these special controls. I shudder to think of the possibility of a bad this year. There is encephalitis year and it could be this. fortell to no certain way W have to be constantly on our guard. We this year have found the larvae of Curex Tarsalis by some 45 days. at Garland school. A class in Psychology, 267, being held at Mountain View school will In comparing our district with other districts we have four areas with one sprayer-inspecto- r in each of these areas which are as large or larger than the Weber district and they use 12 to 18 and spend some $130,000. per pear. The Salt Lake City district has 120 square miles and spends up to $250,000 per year. The Sacramento, Yolo district has 2100 square miles and in 1963 spent more than $800,000. We have 2500 square miles, we are trying to control and have less than $63,000. for this years use. If I and many others in my position, had the choice as to save either the people or eagles and avocets, I would choose people. Karl Josephson, BOX CAPITOL 3, ENDS TUES. High school.
