New Kiwanians Dallas Post/Ed Campbell Dallas Post/Ed Campbell Pets visit Day Care Shopping Center, Wyoming, along with a number of small pets. The children were introduced to the responsibilities of caring for a small pet such as how and what to feed certain animals and how to keep them in their proper environments. Hamsters, rabbits, a paraket, myna bird and a baby boa constrictor were brought in cages for the children to view.

Although nipping insects are not confined to the summer scene, insect life cycles and our enthusi- asm for outdoor fun brings the problem to a head during the hot, muggy months of the year. Of all the insects that fly, crawl, buzz or bite, there is none that annoys more people, more often, than the mosquito. With modern methods of mosquito control, mosquito-borne diseases are not longer abhorred as much as thebuzzing, swatting and itching that accompany an attack from these tiny nuisances. Dr. Ernest Witte, directorof the state Health Department’s Division of Epidemiology, gives a few defen- sive tactics: to help you protect yourself from as much ‘‘mosquito- borne’’ discomfort as possible. “Don’t swat,” he says. ‘‘Move- ment and body warmth are the two things that attract a mosquito to its target. Wear light colored clothing. Dark clothing generates more heat.” Witte also urges the use of a good insect repellent on the exposed parts of the body. ‘‘Reapply the repellent as often as necessary, because perspiration may dilute it and lessen its effectiveness,” he says. Good sanitation-and maintenance around thehome also aid in mos- quito control, according to Witte. “Drain or empty at regular inter- vals, all standing water, including puddles where water collects, chil- dren's wading pools, bird baths, wheelbarrows, watering cans, and any containers or items that will hold water. And be sure windows and doors are tightly screened,’ he says. Two other insects that plague Pennsylvanians during the summer, especially outdoorsmen, are blackf- lies and deerflies. 19.1 cu. ft.
