City To Resume
Spraying For
Fly Control
The city will begin spraying
for fly control as soon as the
weather will permit, according
to Curtis Sanders, chairman of
the City Sanitation Committee.
"We all know," M,\ Sanders
stated, "that we have an un-
usually large fly and mosquito
population this year after the
rains we have prayed for, for
so long and are now receiving."
Mr. Sanders also said that
this year they are using a new
and different type of insecticide,
toxaphene, that should give a
more effective kill since it has
not been used here before. In-
sects build up a resistance to
the insecticides, therefore it is
planned to use a different che-
mical each year.
In order for this program to
be more effective, the city will
need the cooperation of every ci-
tizen in town, and the committee
urges all property owners to
have a general clean-up around
their property. Pick up all old
cans and bottles, cut weeds, keep
all garbage and refuse in a cover-
ed container, and most of all, be
diligent and keep it cleaned up.
Check your animal and fowl pens
more often and keep them pro-
perly. All store owners, espe-
cially grocery stores and cafes,
should keep all of their vege-
table and meat refuse in covered
containers and not leave it
where flies can feed or breed on
it.
Due to the cost of insecticide
and labor that it takes to ap-
ply the material, each customer
will be charged 50 cents a month
to help offset the cost. The
first charge will appear on your
May bill.
Listed below is an itemized
account for last year's spraying

BR I'M) HERMS OF PAIGE
HAS GOOD CROP
Bruno Hertns of Paige was in
Bastrop early Monday morning
on business and said it was "too
wet to plow" in Paige, after over
seven inches of rain last week.
Mr. Herms says that he has
the prettiest corn and maize he
has raised in a long time, but is
fearful of what the hot sun will
do to it when it shines again.
Director of the Tuberculosis As-
sociation in Austin, came down
to Bastrop Monday afternoon t>
express his delight at the record
turn out. Dr. Smith, being a
native of Bastrop, is naturally
concerned over the response here,
and stated that throughout the
state of Texas an average of
one case of tuberculosis is dis
covered for every hundred per-
sons x-rayed.
"The sooner we find the TB
carrier, the sooner a chain of
infection is broken," he pointed
