HAMILTON Clemson University Extension Information Specialist First Typewriter Made in S. C. Gov. Robert McNair is shown with Bill Myer of Mc Bride’s Office Supply at a recent luncheon in Columbia at which the governor was presented the first typewriter ever produced in South Carolina. The typewriter was manufac tured at SCM’s sprawling industrial complex at Orange burg. The typewriter is a Smith-Corona Space-O-Matic 73 Office Typewriter. At the luncheon it was announced that SC’M is moving part of its portable typewriter operation to the Orangeburg plant. Calculators and office typewriters are produced there now-. Youth Wants to Know By RANDY GRIFFITH Summer is here! Actually, summer officially begins on June 22, hut for many of us vacation time from school automatically brings sum mer. And that means a change of pace for almost everybody, especially teenagers. How will you use the sum mer? Will it be "just another summer” or will it be one which you will look back to and say, 'What was the great est summer ever!” Among the saddest words of tongue or pen are the words “There’s nothing to do around here.” And that may be true. If it is, then put the old grey matter to work. Imagination makes life spicey. Ope of the first things you should do is to keep a close record of yourrtime and find out where it is going. Bigger blocks of time give one an op portunity to do many interest ing things. Let’s look at some possible activities. Has sofne book struck your fancy or whetted your appetite lately? When a took is not “assigned” and no report is required, it often reads better. Make a list of books and compare your list with some of your friends. You may spark each other in this regard. For those who have the chance, well planned trips are broadening and rewarding. There are many things worth seeing within a radius of lOd miles of your home. I have also found that trips to Mexico, Canada and Alaska can be fairly inexpensive. Perhaps the most important thing a teen can do in the The common fruit fly. drun kard. or \ inegar gnat is be ginning to rival the housefly as an important household pest. These small flys — o n l y slightly larger than a gnat — appear in well- - screened houses .swarming up wher ever summertime fruits and vegetables are kept. Although they are not be lieved to me important car riers of disease or spreaders of filth, the" flys do account for a great deal of exaspera tion. If nothing else, they are an affront to a homemaker's housekeeping efforts. Attempts to eradicate the flys are usually unsuccessful and the homemaker dismiss es them with a frustrating sweep of the arm and anex- clamation, “Oh, those fruit flys!” Understanding the life his tory and habits of this little fly wlil aid you in reducing the infestation around your h6use. The fly ha^ an inter esting history and some un usual habits. W. C. Nettles, Clemson ex tension leader of pest control work, says the fruit fly com pletes a generation in only 10 days! “The eggs are usually de posited in the broken skin of a fruit or vegetable, or in their peelings qr residue. “The eggs will hatch with in 20 to 22 hours. The small larvae, emerging from the egg, feeds for four days and is transformed into a pupa. After four days m the pupal stage the adult emerges — completing the life cycle.” Nettles says keeping your harvested fruits and vegeta bles stored some distance from the house or in refrig eration will minimize fruit fly infestation around the kitch en and porch. Disposing of peelings and overripe fruit and vegetables quickly by placing them in tight-lipped garbage cans aid in reducing breeding places. !A$H SAVINGS Youmois EGGS . ... 3 doz. $1.00 Ends and Pieces Irby’s 2 Lbs.

M.-11 P. M. DAILY Spraying harvested fruits and vegetables is not general ly recommended. Only one material Is approved for spraying directly on harvested fruit. It is pyrethrum, a non- hazardous inseciicide which may be obtained as an erosol or mist spray. All the approved materials for household space sprays can be used to kill fruit flys while they are in flight. But only sprays of pyrethrum should he used if exposed fruit is around. Although fruit flys are de- "sfWd by homemakers, some scientists have considerable affection for them. By study ing this fly, scientists have learned more about the fun damental laws of inheritance than from studies of any other animal. The little fly — which goes by the somewhat frightening scientific name of Drosophila melanogaster — is subject to tremendous variations in vis ible external characteristics ranging from numerous eye (olors to various colors and shapes of external organs. Mr. Nettles says it breeds so readily in captivity and is so extremely prolific — a sin gle pair can produce as many as 200 progeny within 2 weeks after mating — that geneti cists have been able to use the fly to help them under stand the basic laws of inher itance. Mr. Nettles says other rea sons for using the fly in gen etics work is the small ani mal’s unusually large cel^, chromosomes, and ,; gen4s. Some of the fly’s genes can actually be seen uhdejt’ the microscope. Mrs. Geo. M.
