Polio Fight Is
Constant Battle
The city of Dallas is nctsv in the
midst of a DDT spraying cam-
paign like Rusk recently conduct-
ed but on a much larger scale. In
an effort to answer questions of
home owners the Dallas News
has collected information on the
subject which will be of consider-
able interest to the people of
Rusk. The article follows:
Public health authorities agree
that an antipolio clean-up cam-
paign should not be a one-shot
proposition.
They maintain that the use of
DDT as a insect and bug extermi-
nator is not enough.
Cleanliness must become a con-
stant virtue, they said. In their
opinion, the householder who
rushes about, purifying his prem-
ises, and then relaxes for the rest
of the summer, is making a seri-
ous mistake.
Many citizens are confused.
They ask: Is polio transmitted by
flies? Does DDT really kil flies?
How often should DDT be used?
In what manner should it be ap-
plied ?
The News sought the answers to
these questions.
It learned first that the medi-
cal profession has not been able to
determine definitely how the polio
virus is transmitted. But a prime
suspect is the housefly.
The fly thrives on filth; it car-
ries all sorts of germs. Dr. George
W. Cox, state health officer, says
positively that "flies carry the
polio virus."
DDT has proved an effective
killer of flies and its use is en-
couraged by authorities.

Dr. F. C. Bishopp, assistant
chief of the Department of Agri-
culture's bureau of entomology,
told The News Washington Bu-
reau that "fly and other insect
control is a good sanitary meas-
ure and should be prosecuted re-
gardless of its connection with
poiio."
He suggested the best beginn-
ing would be "to have a svell-
organued cleanup campaign, em-
phasizing general sanitation, to
eliminate flybreeding places."
The next step, he said, "should
be application of a direct spray
of DDTr with a power sprayer,
usually carried on a truck, and
supplemented by hand sprays.
"Sprays should be applied par-
ticularly to the places where flies
generally congregate, such as
garbage cans. The spray is usually
effective from ten days to three
or four months, depending on
weather conditions and exposure
of the place sprayed. Such an
application by a sprayer gives
more lasting protection than the
use of the fog form of DDT."
Dr. Bishopp said that when the
campaign is first inaugurated
the use of fog machines in getting
quick results might be advisable.
But this should be followerd, he
said, by long-range cleanup and
surface spray campaigns. The fog
operation would have to be used
almost daily to be effective, he
added.
"In some cffses," Dr. Bishopp
warned, "people are expecting
too much from the use of DDT. Its
use must be accompanied by eli-
mination of unsaintary condi-
tions."
This viewpoint found echoes in
Dallas.
Dr. J. W. Bass, city health of- \
ficer, said spraying with DDt is j
not enough. "It won't prevent j
disease by itself." he shid. "The
public must exercise continuous |
vigilance and be constantly alert I
against filfth and unsanitary I
conditions."
Dyer, of the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paraly ... *.<!,
"DDT is not the aiui.u- 1.0 poiio.
It is a matter of indiviuual re-,
sponsibility. Each peijon must !
keep his own body, h« own house j
and his cpvn premises clean."
Dr. Cox of the state health of- j
fice, said, "There is, no such thing
as ovrespraying. It must be done j
frequently. The time to kill flies ]
is before polio gets started in a i
community. Don't wait for all the
flies in town to get polio virus."
For ordinary household spray
ing, the Department of Agricul-
ture recommends the residual-
spray. It leaves a unmber of poi-
sonous crystals which will kill in-
sects after the solution dries.
One of the USD A bulletins says,
"Use residual applications of DDT
on walls, surfaces, or any place
where insects crawl." It says a 5
per cent solution in refined kero-
sene is satisfactory for use at
home, and an ordinary household
;">raygun may be used.
If houses are well screened, it
may not be necessary to spray the
interior, but treatment of the ex-
terior is very important, the De-
partment of Agriculture says.
"Secial attention should be given
to screens, porches, entrance shel-
ters and garbage containers."
NEW ANT KILLER
"There's a new ant killer on the
market, which should be good
news for the homemaker now, as
this is the season when they are
most likely to take over in the
kitchen", V. A. Little, professor
of entomology of Texas A. & M.
College, says.
The new killer is called chlor-
dane, and it is a more efficient
killer than DDT for ants and
roaches, Dr. Little says, and di-
rections for its use must be fol-
lowed carefully, as it is poisonous.
"Of course, the best way to get
rid of ansts", Dr. Little points
out, "is to follow the trail back
to the colony or nest and put the
poison there. However, this isn't
itf.vays easy to do, as sometimes
the insects nest in the foundation,
walls or othe hard-to-reach places.
If it is possible to find the ant
colony, pour a small amount of
a two or three per cent oil solution
of the chlordane in the entrance.
Then check the nests about a
week later, and if necessary re-
peat the treatment.
In spraying in the home, an
ordinary house spray gun may be
used, Dr. Little says. . Sprayer
attachments 011 electric sweepers
work fine, too. The baseboards,
door and window cases, around
built-in features and the drain-
boards should be wet almost to
the running point with the spray.
Give the cracks an extra dose.
An oil solution of the same
strength as that used for killing
out ant colonies is recommended.
"Remember that chlordane is
poisonous", Dr. Little warns.
"Food, dishes, and cooking uten-
sils should be taken out of the
kitchen — or put where the spray
won't reach them — until after
the spray has settled. FoHow the
manufacturer's directions for its
use, and it will be safe."
The chlordane works on outdoor
ant colonies, too. For ants in the
Isimi, a dust of five per cent chlor-,
dane is good, wi:ile red ant colo- '
nies can be killed out with a tea-
cupful of two or three per cent j
solution. One treatment is gener- !
ally enough to kill the nest, Dr. I
Little says.
