“no pest” strips
harmful to food
State Agriculture Secretary
Leland H. Bull has requested
Pennsylvania food processing
firms, retail food stores, and
dairy farms to discontinue the
use of Vapona ‘‘No Pest” strips
in food areas.
The pesticide strips are used
to control flies, mosquitoes,
gnats and other flying insects.
Sec. Bull said vapors from the
strips can lodge on processing
equipment, food cartons and
foods to produce undesirable
residues.
He said use of the strips is =
illegal under the state’s General
Food Law because the vapors
can become incorporated in the
food and adulterate it.
The Department’s food in-
spectors and milk sanitarians
have been instructed to contact
people in the food industry and
request them not to use the
strips, Sec. Bull said.
Food inspectors check bot-
tlers, canners, bakeries, candy
plants, retail food stores and
soft ice cream establishments.
Milk sanitarians inspect dairy
farms, dairies and ice cream
manufacturing plants.

To keep the wires
HUMMMMIN
Our construction crews place miles and miles of new
cable every year to meet the increasing demands of you,
our customers. In some new installations, much of it is
buried underground. But underground or above ground,
it's a big job, and it keeps our men busy all year round.
They make repairs, too, whether in the blistering heat
of summer or the freezing cold of winter: In fact, with the
help of these trained, dedicated men, our entire cable
construction and repair program is designed to fulfill
one need — to keep the wires humming with your calls.
