Dr. Garland Weidner, city health officer, urged residents to aid the anti fly campaign starting Tuesday. He proposed spraying around business areas while asking private citizens to spray around premises and clean potential breeding sites. He urged rat control too, outlining steps like metal garbage cans, weekly emptied manure boxes, burying decaying matter, securing food, disturbing rat shelters, rat proofing buildings, and reporting unsanitary conditions in writing. He emphasized reporting helps the health council, and citizens should sign and return government post cards with details for follow up.
