Mosquito Fogging Clears Town With Dyna Machine
On a hot Friday evening city officials used a newly bought Dyna fogger to disperse insecticide over the town. Councilman Alan Hersleff aided the process while Gib Stueve drove the truck with the fogging unit. The Norris residence was heavily obscured by the fog as the Times captured the scene. The device runs on a gas motor and blends fuel oil with insecticide to form the fog that spread across neighborhoods.
