SOME HOUSE FLIIES CAN RESIST DDT

OTAWA. Dec. 12. 1950--I-louse flies resistant to DDT have been reported in recent years from dif- ferent parts of Canada and the United States. Scientists. delving into the mysteries of why all-flies are not killed by the insecticide. are close to scoring another round for the farmer and the housewife in their annual summer battle against the flies when they recently detennlned that some files have the ability to break down DDT into relatively harmless compounds.

Entomologists working in the Canada Department of Agiricultures Division of Entomology,al. Ottawa collected flies from several regions of Ontario and Quebec where re- sistance to DDT had been reported. After being reared under standard conditions for several generations, different cultures of these were subjected to mortality treatrnents with the insecticide when it was found that some files have developed a. gtreaier degree of resistance to DUE than others. Officials at Ottawa. however. point out that additional studies must be carried out before definite conclusions can be drawn regarding the extent of the occur- rence of DDT-resistant house flies in Canada. ,

Considerable research work has been done by workers in the United States on how some house files are apparently able to stand up under dosages of DDT which spell sudden death to other files receiving the same treatment. Based on exten- sive experiments recently reported in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America. the research- ers have come up with the discovery that the resistant flies appear to have the as-yet-unexplained ability to break down the lethal DDT into less harmful substances before the killer reaches a. vital part of the body."I'he difference between sus- ceptible and resistant strains of house files is so great in this re- spect that the acientiata consider this to be a major factor in the ex- planation of why some files succumb to "DDT litters" and others survive. Resistant flies in both the larval and adult stages are able to break down the DDT into what. the scientists call DDE. a relatively harmless compound. In the sdult files this DDE is reported to be formed in the digestive tract and is liberated into the body tissues and accumulates for the most. part in the surface layers of the fly'a body. In the opinion of scientists in both Canada and the United States the discovery of this apparent faculty that DDT-resistant flies possess of breaking down the power- ful lnsecticide into non-lethal substances is something new. and may aid in explaining the develop- ment of resistance to insecticides in other insect pests.

Sudden Death Of Mr. Willard Spencer

The funeral of the late Mr. Wil- lard Spence who died suddenly from a heart attack on Monday morning will be held at 2 13.111. this afternoon from Trinity Church.

Mr. Spencer was on his way to the Provincial Treaairy Depart- ment. where he has been employed since 1946. when he had a. seizure in the Island Book Room on Great George street, and 'died a few min- utes later.

Born in Montague ln 1888. he was the son of the late Rev. w.1-1. Spencer and Mrs. Spencer. He started to work with the Canadian Bank of Commerce while still a young man. and was also with the Island Telephone Company fcr some years. Before going to the Treasury Department he worked for nine years with the Irwin Printing Company.

Mr. Spencer was I. charter mem- ber of the Y's Men's Association and was an enthusiastic supporter of this organization until the time of his death. Recefitly he served as a member of the Board of stewards of Trinity Church. and previous to

I that time was one of the Elders.

He was also private secretary to Lieut. Go or B. W. 1.ePage dur- ing his term of office.

Surviving are his widow, the for- mer Katherine Murchison of Char- lottetown. daughter of the late Captain John Murchison, and one sister. Mrs. A.C. Sinclair of Char- lottetown.

The remains are resting at the N. D. MacLcan Funeral Home.

Huge Increase In Outgoing Mail

Outgoing mail handled at the CI-iarlottetown Post Office this month is almost twice as heavy as the mail for the same period in "1949.

For the first l8 days of Decem- ber last year the total was 257.220 letters. and this has jumped this year to 480.574. Every available foot of space in the post office is taken as clerks and helpers sort. cancel. and distribute letters by the thousand into their various pigeon holes and boxes.

Mail which has to be cleared at the local Customs Office is again streaming in steadily. Previous to last Friday a number of days had passed during which no parcels were received at all. due to the rail. strike in the United States.

Storm Prevents Shipment Of Sows To Quebec

Tile first irltci'-provincial car- load shipment of qualified sows ever to be made in Canada was

prevented here this week by ilie hard driving snow stoi-rn which struck the Province on Monday night.

Mr. Napoleon Mercler. aentative of the Quebec ment of Agriculture. has been in the Province the past few days with the intention of selecting. a carload of two and three year old qualified sows for shipment to Nlcolel. county. Quebec.

He had part ofa carioad round- ed up on purchases be made Mon- day. He had planned to continue purchases on fhiesday and Wed- nesday and have the sows on their way to Quebec later in the week.

The storm. however. forced him to cancel the order. He intends to return for the carload of sows next May.

Mr. Mercier's desire to purchase this carload of sows here reflects high satisfaction with previous swine he bought in the Province. In 1949 he purchased a carload of boars and .sows from Island breed- us for Quebec farmers.

"with only one or two except- ions all the wine purchased in this Province one year ago proved satisfactory. There has been a considerable increase in Grade A hogs in Ntcolet County since the importation of Island Yorkshires." he stated.

He regretted that the weather interfered with his plans but ex- pressed his intentions of return- ing. He willleave this morning for Quebec after four days in the Province.

The schooner Ivy and Muriel. earlier reported missing. made port at Aguantliuna with two of her dories snatched from her decks by the rising waves.

The schooner La Paris made Port Au Port. to repcrt I motorboat she had in tow lost. No one was aboard the smaller craft.

The Panamanian freighter Mor- cella drifted close to the dangerous rocks off Chetieamp. N.S. before her master reported her in safe water and awaiting a tug.

On land. some 12 inches of snow. sliushy because of mild tempera- tures. fell throughout most of the Atlantic Provinces. '

with the count still far from complete. hundreds of communica- tion l.tne.poles were reported down. Repair crews said it would take weeks to restore everything to nor- mal. By Provinces, this was the pic- turc:

Nova Scotla - Commurilcatlons gradually being restored to normal but damage reported heavy. on one 22-mile stretch of highway be- tween waterville and Middleton. in the Annapolis Valley. 40 poles were down.

An unconfirmed report said some 400 poles were down across the De- mlnlon Atlantic Railway line be- tween Kentville and Yarmcuth. on the Province's south western tip. The town of Berwick and the rural areas between Watervllle and Middleton were still without elec- i.rlcii.y.

The D.A.R. used commercial ra- dio stations to relay train orders to various points throughout. the An- napoiis Vallev.

New Brunswick -- the soutlieast- em quarter of the Province bore the brunt cf the storm. saint John. with about six inches of snow. es- caped the full force and northern counties were mostly untouched. Westmorland County was one of the hardest hit. Flows kept the 12 inches of snow from the main highways but secondary routes were blocked.

Snowfall in Kent. and Kings Ccuntics. where the most serious damage to telephone and telcgrapli uircs occurred. reached 10 iriches. Poorer failures troubled Moncton.
