Quotable Quotes. . . (Continued From Page Four)
sprayed on ranges and wheatland here, but
most of them are now banned. We can recall
how the City of Portales regularly sprayed
the back alleys with DDT, and sometimes,
under public urging because of an outbreak
of polio, the city was sprayed with this
long-lasting insecticide by air. Parathion, an
insecticide so dangerous that applicators
wore protective clothing, was used in this
area on wheat, cotton and milo for several
years, and a number of poisons were used on
ranges against grasshoppers.
Of course insecticides were often used
in inappropriate ways in those years, and
who knows but that some genetic or other
kinds of damage may have resulted. But it is
also becoming apparent now that the
reaction, which followed the publication of
Rachael Carson's “Silent Spring,'' was
extreme. We now suspect that the banning
of DDT and some of the other related
insecticides came from hysteria rather than
from careful balancing of benefits against
risk.

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
“J.R ”
Rhythm Racket-teers were
to give their last concert
this month! There's no way
that those musicians in the
Kitchen Band would even
think of retiring after such a
few weeks of existence! Un-
der the excellent directing
of Mrs. Sam Bryan, the
group is very successful and
they enjoy their perfor-
mances as much as those
who crowd in to hear them!
So. . . don't believe every-
thing you hear. . . check it
out! There will be a concert
in Redmon Hall at 7:30
Friday. August 28th. . . but
it is definitely NOT their
swan song!
