1968 wheat program are eligible
for a pi oportionate share of the
pool.

With Help, Australian
Mayor Meets Promise
Political office seekers up for
election this November might
take note of how it's done in
Australia.
When elected three years
ago. the Lord Mayor of Bris
bane, Australia, campaigned
with the promise that he would
rid the city of “mossies", the
down-under name for mosqui
toes.
This year he was required to
make good on the promise be
cause an extremely mild winter
stimulated the breeding of mos
quitoes from larvae in some
9,000 acres of tidal pools and
mangrove swamps near Bns
bane.
Thanks to enviable good tim

to the crisis. Scientists and stu
dents at the University of
Queensland had just completed
a study of mosquitoe breeding
habits. The two-year research
project was supported by a
giant from Chevion Chemical
Company of San Francisco
Brisbane townspeople were
invited to witness the applica

Dibrom The chemical, which
was applied in small but high
ly effective doses, killed 90 pei
cent of the malicious pests Con
seivatiomsts approved the
abatement application because
the Dibiom quicklj broke down
into haimless compounds with
out harming human or animal
life
Control of the mosquitoes ap
pears to assure reelection of the
Lord Mayor should he run
again. It’s near impossible to
