Are you continual ly scratching those irritable white bumps left by some (&3 ?) mosquito? If that's true, then, here's news.... (a mosquito con trol program being set up by the state government may greatly re duce the number of mosquitos in Nebraska. Not so much that it will greatly Improve the comforts of my pic nics that I'm so happy over the whole thing I'm looking out for the more unfortunate students that don't have mosquito netting. Like a Politician. There's certain things about a mosquito that reminds a person of a University of Nebrasa stu dent would-be politician. .. .first he buzzes around and around from one ear to another making a "L" of a noise, telling about what he is about to do. . . .then if you don't take your mind of the beautiful girl that you're with and pay a little attention to him, he gets mad, organizes a squadron of his friends for a dive attack at an opportune time swoops down and drives his steel knife, I mean beak into your ankle. About this time you're plenty mad, you forget the girl in your arms and swat him out of com mission. The mosquito is dead but you still have a few bumps left to show where he stung you. Now to get back to the news item. Dr. Douglas Tate, chairman of the entomology department of the college reported that a mos quito survey which it is expected will provide information useful in control of mosquito-borne diseases has been launched in Nebraska. Publih health authorities .have ex pressed active interest in the mos quito problem, since control of sleeping sickness and malaria in Nebraska probably will be compli cated by influx of soldiers and war industry workers from southern states. Survey Continues in Fall. The survey is to continue thru late fall, or until the mosquitoes no longer are active. Insect traps are to be located at various points in the state, including Scottsbluff, Ord, Lincoln, North Platte, Val entine and Bridgeport, and other points in the southeastern and northeastern parts of the state. Catches of mosquitoes will show the seasonal occurrence of various kinds and the relative abundance of each. Dr. Tate pointed out that the survey also will show where the mosquitoes are breeding, an im portant consideration in control. Control work made possible by the survey will reduce considerably the mosquitoes which frequently become a considerable nuisance during certain seasons in some parts of Nebraska, Horace Heidt Brings Stars To Pike Soon Starring Fiankie Carle the great American pianist composer who wrote "Sunrise Serenade" Horace and his Musical Knights will give Lincoln the sweeter swing ' 1 M ' Awards . .
