summer is to develop a skill.
This may be a hobby, .a sport
or some money-making enter

summer school to take an
elective and to improve skills.
Summer camps also provide

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.

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.
