17-Year-Olds Eligible For Aviation Course

Seventeen-year-old boys who ant to sign up for naval aviation training may do so immediately instead of waiting until they are 18, it was announced Friday. Those who enlist will not begin training until they are 18, however, according to the announcement from the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board, 12th floor, Widener Building, Philadelphia. Eighteen formerly was the minimum age for enlistment. Under the new program, qualified youths who have been graduated from accredited high schools or who will be graduated by June 30 will be enlisted as aprentice seamen, V-5, the special designation for naval aviation cadets. After they pass their 18th birthday, they, will be given an opportunity to train as aviation cadets. Commissions as ensigns in the Naval Reserve or second lieutenant* in the Marine Corps will be issued to those who complete their flight training.

College students in the 17-year-old class may enlist under the plan for training as naval aviation cadets. High school seniors who apply must finish their high school course, the board explained, since a diploma from an accredited high school is required before a youth can begin flight training.

about the history and habits of insect if you want the kind of Victory Garden you hope for. With such knowledge you are intelligently prepared to strike when they are most vulnerable, because to control insects we must attack them at the weakest point in their life history. The life history of insects falls into two general types. One is incomplete metamorphosis, in which the insect \which hatches from the egg is like, or very similar to, the adult. An example is the grasshopper, the only difference between the nymph and the adult being size and absence of wings. The aphis or plant louse is another example, although the aphis may also give

From the egg hatches a caterpillar, a totally different looking individual from the adult. This larva, or caterpillar, feds awhile, then surrounds itself with a case called a chrysalis where it changes to a pupa and then emerges as a butterfly. This type of metamorphosis is common to all moths and butterflies, many of which do no feeding at all except perhaps to take in moisture. The mission in life of these adults

larva which eat. Most of the hard-shelled beetles undergo complete metamorphosis, and sometimes, as in the Mexican bean beetle and the Japanese beetle, both the larva and the adult feed. Insects fall into three classes according to their method of feeding and control measures are based very largely upon this fact. First there are those insects which bite off, chew and swallow a portion of plant tissue. They

is known when holes are in the leaves. To control these insects apply a spray or dust of some material that will poison them, as lead tpsenMte or calcium arsenate, and for some, rotenone, pyrethrum or derris, which are poisonous in the stomachs of some insects. Ttje second class consists of the sucking insects. These, by means of lanset drills (like a mosquito), pierce the upper layer of a leaf, thrust in a tube and suck out the plant juice. The aphis, leaf hoppers and plant bugs are examples. No amount of stomach poison applied to the surface of the leaf will injure these insects, and application of the correct

poison, called a contact ride, must be made WHI insect is present. An insect i breathes through holes in the sides of its body. Nicotine sulphate, pyrethrum, derris or rotenone applied to the insects in such a way as to cover than.. win enter the spiracles or breath-;, ing pores, and so be carried into the “blood”, which fiHa the whole body cavity. The poisonous material first paralyzes, then kills the insects. Control of insect* should start at their first appearance. The proper sort of poison must be selected, and it must be applied to the part of the plant where the insect is feeding.

DIHOUT

So What?

Perhaps the dimout, from dark ’til dawn, has been annoying to us here at home. Perhaps some of us believe it might

annoy our visitors.

Vacationists are attracted to our county because of the ocean bathing, the ' beaches, boardwalks, amusements, fishing and other sports. All of these are daylight

activities and not affected by the dimout.

Cool breezes, which offer relief to those from the hot, sticky cities, blow day and night, regardless of the dimout. This one minor restriction will not deter vacationists from visiting Cape May County.
