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. Pictured above with Sheila
Hoover, an employee of Ida's Pet World, is Chrissy Costill, left, of Dallas and Kelly Metzgar,

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.
