Tr-kjRSDAY, JULY 2, 1942 djmmmetmmemm \j i , ■ i NO. 19 JAP BEETLE ANNUAL DEBUT Tbe Japan-/-* beetle haa already made its annual debut in a number of areas in th'a- state, the usual pv- iod for the pest to begin its depredations being about July 1 and continuing on the increase until about the last week in this month. The history of the beetl*-, in this country shows that there is a steady increase in, the number for four or tive, years and then f ollojws years registering a steady decrease ia numbers, with a corresponding decrease in damage, according to the I course in tho Philadelphia and Harrisburg areas where intfestions have been known for about 20 years. There are several reasons advanced for the decrease, one of which IS that many persons have added poison to their lawns to kill the grub stage and other so-called artificial Control measures have been extensively practiced. An other reason is that several natural enemies are said to be doing a good job of extermination. Some of tbe parasites were brought from foreign pountries, but two of them are native, one being the round worm and the other a bacterium. , DEADLINE EXTENDED The Department of Highways has granted an extension of six months to public utilities for the installation of reflector buttons on poles which are along the highway rightlof-way. Last October the Department directed that this installation be completed by July 1. These reflectors under the Department's order of October 1941, specified that three buttons were to be placed on all utility company poles that wer|e within eight feet of tbe highway. Recently a number of utilities have informed the Department that the work cannot be completed within the. time limit because of the war. Highway maintenance superintendents have been directed to inquire of those companies unable to finish tbe work the schedule for the remaining installations. The utilities will be asked to place the reflector buttons on the poles adjacent to tbe main trtffie arter'ee first, to be followed by those on secondary routes. INDEPENDENCE DAY Independence Day this year should be observed with solemnity reflecting the sober determination of a democracy at war for its ideals anu its existance.

Nevertheless there are many beauty spots within a few milee drive of Belljwood where itfenty of enjoyment can be found.

The "gss hog" ia the sntftsh motorist who haa beard of gasoline shortages in Philadelphia and In other defense centers and rushes to his "station to fill bis tank whether hs needs the gasoline or not. He is the, motorist who "got the jump" on gasoline rationing in rationed areas by hoarding 10 or 20 gallons in containers in his garage s few days before rationing bejgan. Since the value of his existing ration units waa doubled recently to provide him with sufficient gasoline, for an additional two—nof*" three- weeks bijfore the permanent rationing system goes into effect, hs has been fearful that he might find himself on July 22 with unredeemed ration units. He knows essential vehicles must have gasoline. He* knows trucks, (physicians, defense workers and others need the gasoline far more than he does, but he demands a filled tank even though others may not r«v reive a sir.or'e gallon. He is tha u nre- constructr-l "Sunday Driver." Rem- -,-nber Mm? , The full gas task is generally credited with causing the gasoline shortage in Philadelphia, inousands of filling stallion attendants report that many thousands of motorists, many of whom are women, have asked for she gallons and been able to take only two to three because their tanks are brimful. After many gallons of the precious f .uid—brougt here at the cost of many lives—had spilled on the ground, attendants nofwt are on the outlook for "gas hogs" and insist on seeing whether the tank will hold six gallons before making the sale. Last week, the War Production Board and tbe OPA asked filling stations In tbe Philad<Vphia area to reserve 60 percenfof their gasoline __ war purpose , - ••••**-.•.; p*a*_, tioua in rationed W*mmt tial motorists, such as physiei ^^ truckers, and defines workers. This is permissible if the station is so posted and sales are restricted to these groups. There will come a day of reckon* ing for the "gas hog." It will bo in the not so distant future, when his rapidly thinning tires, wearing aaiway on unessential joy rides, give up the ghost.- , Then this mistaken individual will drop out of motoring circulation for one year, two years, pe.rhaps even longer. No one will miss Mm PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS People Who Visit Here end Those Who Go Awey. MQVE'flENTsTF OUR CITIZENS —-While moving about her home on South First street Wedneedhy, Mrs. H. C.

Bishop Hughes spoke feelingly of the greeat liberties enjoyed by the right of religious freedom. He said that America needs a spiritual revival mad*) aU .the more necessary on account of the war. The speaker scorned those who would break down the spiritual and moral structure of the nation.
