In. light. Cast moving trucks start
spraying the walls and celliOgB o’
40,000 unscreened hounes in selected
rural areas with DDT emulsion.
Elach crew will be assigned 750
houses to be completed in three
months. At the end of that period
the area will be covered again and
each house will be given another
■praying. Applied to the walls and
reUInrs of houses. DDT emulsion kills
all adult mosquitoes thst light on
them for approximately 12 weeks.
Under such attack the mosquito
will be easy prey, for DDT emulsion
la not a repellent, and the mosquito,
unaware of its lethal power, will not
hesitate to light where it has been
sprayed And to light is fatal, for
DDT acts Hs a nervous-system poison
that Is sure to kill.
And how it kills! When mosquitoes
touch a wall or ceiling sprayed with
a soluUon of DDT. they show no signs
of being poisoned for about 20 min-
utfs. Then they become nervous and
agitated, take off abruptly, fly about
in erratic, drunken cin les and finally,
after a hinge of five to 20 minutes,
•irop to the flimr Paralyzed and un
able to fly again, they die several
hours later. These rt-actions are so
typical that laboratory workers refer
tn them ;is the *‘DDTs."
Tbs lTOporUM»c.e of the demonstra-

have shown that as high as 46 per
cent of the population In certain se-
_,lected arenas have malaria, cannot be
overestimated. DDT may prove to be
11m* answer to our malaria control
problem. It is especially significant
In view of the fact that many soldiers
returning from overseas will be car
riers of malaria and tn counties where
mosquitoes are plentiful serious out
breaks of the disease might occur.
The demonstrattou attack will be
carefully che< ked for results, to ascer
tain the effectiveness of DDT in
eliminating the malaria mosquito and
reducing the incidence of the disease,

ing activities in Camden since the

One of the most Interesting meet
ings held in Camden in some time waa
the public forum held Tuesday even
ing In the parish house of Grace
Episcopal church -with Judge Oliver
Rice acting as moderator and featur
ing some Interesting discussion tn
wbkb prominent men of this city
participated.
The meeting was the first of six
being conducted for the purpose of
discussing "The Six Pillars of Peace,”
based upon the general theme that
’•j^eace must provide the political
framework for a cbntinued collabora-i
tibn-of the United Nations and In dna
course, of neutral and enemy na
tions."
The heated and lively dlscusslona
which featured the meeting led to the
genera] conclusion that each nation
should be allowed political, social and
moral freedom in order to suataln the
minimum, of friction. In so far as the
peace of other nations is not affected.
Those contributing Interesting ideas
and arguments to the discussion
were: John M. Vllleplgue, Major Moul
trie Brallsford. Attorney Allison Du-
Bose, Dr. Maurice Clarke, Mrs. D. M.
Boykin. Miss Caroline Richardson.
Miss Ethel Tates and Miss Virginia
Green.
These meetings ’ to discuss and
clarify the six bases of peace promise
to be one of the most vitally inter
esting and outstanding programs ever
conducted in Camden and will prob
ably become an annual classic.
They will be held every Tuesday
evening at 8 o’clock in the guild hall
of Grace church. The last in the
series Is scheduled for March 27. The
next forum wlB be held next Tues
day evening. Feb. 27.
The meetings are open to the gen
eral public and all are Invited to at
tend and take part in the discussions.
They are conducted along the same
procedure as the Town Meeting of
the Air, a famous radio program.
