Final meeting of the Democratic
Executive Committee of Red Riv-
er County until 1960 was held in
the district court foom at Clarks-
ville Tuesday afternoon, when the
official canvass of votes polled in
the run-off primary was certified.
A light attendance was indicated
by the roll call, although large
enough to constitute a quorum for
transacting official business.
M. C. Melton Was named to fill
the position of committeeman in
Precinct No. 15. South Detroit, suc-
ceeding O. T. Morris, who had re-
signed. Melton was temporarily
appointed to hold the second pri-
mary.
Committee to Work With
Commissioners’ Coart
The Democratic Executive Com-
mittee approved a proposal to
work with the Commissioners’
Court in any action that may be
undertaken with the idea of merg-
ing precincts. A committee is to
bo named by Chairman A. N.
Quarles, consisting of three rep-
resentatives from each of the four
commissioner districts, to meet
with the Court when and if that
body takes up the matter of re-
ducing the number of voting boxes
in the Interest of economy.
Such action has been considered
for some time, but n o definite
Dlans have been presented. The
Commissioners’ Court has authority
to alter voting precinct lines, abol-
ish and create precincts, but
moves of this nature are often re-
luctantly carried out because they
are rarely accomplished without
opposition and hard feelings.
The County Executive Commit-
tee favors working with the Court
In this ticklish undertaking.

Mosquito Control
Made Difficult
By Summer Rains
Summer rainfall, well above nor-
.raxl in the Clarksville area, has
tnade mosquito control operations
more difficult, a fact which most
residents of the City realize. They
have been very cooperative in
fighting this pest during the per-
iod of abnormal precipitation and
their continued responsiveness to
the threat of infestation is urged
by officials. Recent heavy rains
created conditions which may
bring mosquitoes into several
neighborhoods unless residents of
these areas are prompt in locating
possible breeding places on or
near their premises. Stagnant
water it necessary to hatch a mos-
quito. Water allowed to stand for
several days will become suitable
for propagating this pest. One ef
fective way to eliminate such facil-
ities for-mosquitoes is through per-
son a 1 Inspection of individual
premises. Water found in old
buckets jars, discarded tires or
other forgotten, neglected and ov-
erlooked containers can cause a
lot of trouble.
The central health committee
joins with officials in requesting
Clarksville residents to cooperate
with them in keeping mosquitoes
under control. It can be done but
only if* thf public takes) a hand
and maintains an alertness tosvard
the pest until frost arrives.
