Pesticides The insecticides used today are quite different from those used during the thirties and forties. Pesticide development since World War II has re- sulted in a number of insec- ticides that are safer to use and more effective than the chemi- cals that were used prior to the war, Research shows that while most of the insecticides now used in Alberta are very toxic to insects, they present little hazard to other animals, including humans, The insecticides in use today control insects by a variety of actions. Some are nerve poisons and affect the insect nervous system. Others inter- fere with the production of Tis The Season For Aerial Photographs Of Your FARM, RANCH OR ACREAGE * SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER 16 x 20 Sprayed Color Print Regular Price 134.75 For A Limited Time 20 off TOTAL PRICE 108 Roberts Photographic 625-3152, Box 1208, Claresholm * if Booked Before July 10, 1985. few mimic the chemical prop- erties of the botanical insec- ticide pyrethrum and, as such, can cause paralysis in insects. - MAXIMUM STRENGTH Benzoyl Peroxide Cream Commerce Pharmaceutics, Lid. Although there is a wide variance in how the chemicals work, insecticides are more often classified into two groups depending on how the insect pest comes in contact with the chemical. The two groups are the systemic and the contact insecticides. Insecticides that act as con- tact poisons kill insects either by penetrating the body wall (cuticle) of the insect, or by being absorbed from the stomach. For example, some insecticidal dusts, like those containing silica are very ab- rasive and can remove the pro- tective outer, waxy coating of insects. The insecticide then easily enters the insect which subsequently dies. Contact insecticides that must be absorbed from the . stomach of the insect are usu- ally sprayed on th aurface of plants. Insects feeding on the treated foliage are killed. For example, the insecticide, car- bofuran, is sprayed on to young wheat crops which may be eaten by grasshoppers. Gras- shoppers feeding on the pro- tected crop subsequently die. The second group of insec- ticides are the systemic insec- ticides. These chemicals enter the host plant and move through the sap system. Harm- ful sucking insects like certain mites and aphids are poisoned and die when they suck the sap. Other injurious. insects like certain caterpillars and * beetles are poisoned when they eat foliage and stems. A few insecticides available today are usually referred to as fe biological insecticides. An ex- ample is the bacterium Bacil- lus thuringiensis or B.t. which seems to work well'on caterpil- lars, The bacteria is sprayed on to leaves that may be eaten by the caterpillars.. Once inside the insect, the bacteria slowly poison the insect which con- sequently dies, Research has shown that most of the insecticides can be used with safety if label direc- , tions are followed and precau- tions are taken. Adherence to these safety guidelines help to ensure that insect pests are controlled and that no un- necessary risks are presented. This is part. of an ongoing series on pesticides.

Windy Wings Excerpts The Station made the news on October 15, 19841 when a visit was made by His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor and the Duchess of Windsor. They completed an inspection of the place, and later the Duke presented wings to pupils of Course 34. In speaking to the new pilots he said that he ap- preciated all the hard work they had done in earning their wings, because he had also done a part of the training. Though he had soloed, he was not entitled to wear wings him- self. q Such publicity seemed to annoy the weather man, and he proceeded to show what Al- berta could do in the shape of dust and hail and other types of foul weather. Anyone unfortu- nate enough to have been on the Armistice Parade November 11, 1941, will never forget the near hurricane of that day...the wind reached a velocity of 110 miles per hour, and did extensive damage to buildings.

Monday through Saturday 8:30am w5O00m everyone hada little moretime to think of other things. than flying and keeping the An- nies up in the air. Inter- squadron sports were or- ganized and the Commanding Officer's trophy passed from squadron to squadron in hotly contested monthly orgies of all types of games. When Claresholm first opened, dances, shows and or- ganized entertainment were unheard of.rHowever, all was not lost, as both Claresholm and Stavely came to the res- cue, and the first winter here the boys were furnished enter- tainment by local talent under the direction of Mrs. J. Amundsen and Mr. Laurie. That winter too, our rink was in full swing, although it seemed that every time Frank had the ice in tip-top form a Chinook would sneak up on him and Presto...no more ice. Hockey was a popular spport and provided the highlights for both inter-section and inter- station. The old timers will re- member this. The C.P.R. wheezing in on the spur line behind the hospital takes on Passengers bound for the Lethbridge Arena. The Station Band and the Station person- nel literally poured them- selves into the coaches, On their arrival at Lethbridge spectacular victory parades were conducted through the main streets, At the Arena it- self, Claresholm rooters filled one complete side, So you can see from this that the seed of support for future sports meet- ings was well planted.

His family operates a farm that grows barley, winter wheat, grass seed, peas and sugar beets, on the island. He will be staying with the Ted Menzies family until the middle of November, as part of the International Agricultural Exchange Program. Thomas says that farms are much bigger and more. mechanized here. He's enjoying his stay, meeting lots of dif- ferent people and sharpening his english skills. Stavely Stampeders by Aubrey Dunmire Hi once again I m very sorry for having to tell you about our meeting a little late (I ve been studying for final exams at school). On June 7, 1985 we had our regular meeting and discussed ahowt many upcoming events. Later, after the meeting we had a roping clinic. Our hel- pers were Clark Jacobson, Cliff Egger, and Matt Jacobson. These people showed us their skills at roping. We are now selling raffle tickets for a pure sheep's wool saddle blanket. Medically speaking by DR. BOB YOUNG It was a nasty tumble. A slip on a slope of ice-slick dried grass, over the cliff edge and down, head first onto the rocks below. Instant unconsciousness. The boy was nine years old. There were people around and the rescue was readily made. In the hustle of the emergency department a depressed skull fracture was found, an indentation resembling a dimple in an old ping-pong ball, except the fracture was broken around it sedge. The operating room with the brain surgeon was next. The broken bone was fragmented beyond repair and had to be removed. It was replaced with a plate in a relatively routine operation. The child recovered without incident. Feasibility Study ENVIRONMENT The patient grew up, moved his family to another city and finished school. The incident, with the passage of time, melted from the memory of the youngster s general practitioner and neurosurgeon. The boy, now a man, joined an elite group of specialists and became a diver. Not the scuba type, but the hard-hat variety, working frequently .. ta depths of 700 feet. His jobs took him around the world, mainly with oil rigs. The neurosurgeon, older now, retired. The GP. was still at work when the patient of long ago, on vacation, returned to the office to say hello and to get something for his occupational hazard, a chronic ear infection. He had no medical excuse for looking up the brain surgeon, a bit of a task as it turned out. But search him out he did, to offer his thanks and show his appreciation for - the job so well done 20 years before. The doctor was flabbergasted - and almost speechless. Patients frequently tell each other how good a job their doctor has done. I wouldn t be alive today if it wasn t for old Doc Jones. It s a little different when the patient actually thanks the toctor.
