Tuesday, July 11, 1972 37 Gypsy Modi's Hungry Head Rears in Delaware Traps Eclipse Comes, Goes to City's Ho-hum Shrug Gypsy moth caterpillars have been found on campers and trailers at the U.S. quarantine station on Interstate 95 at the rest stop near Newark. W. Robert Hickman, plant pathologist with the State Department of Agriculture, says a few male moths have also been trapped in Kent and Sus hope that sheer exhaustion will give some control.

The main hope is that the artificial lure will be so strong, males won't be able to smell out and mate with the immobile females. Disparlure is very cheap to make and, if the confusion technique works, would be much cheaper than spraying with insecticides. may be on the way from a new control called "sexual confusion" being tried this year in Pennsylvania an Marylan. THIS uses the same disparlure that baits the traps. Bits of cork are impregnated with the lure and dropped by airplane.

Other reactions around Rodney Square disclosed a slight to mild interest in the phenomenon. Mrs. Hattie Stevenson was waging her dogs around the square and said she had read about the eclipse in the newspapers, "but it doesn't excite me." A group of soldiers in the square were closing up a U.S. Army military police exhibit and when they were asked about the eclipse, one of the men looked around him and asked, "What eclipse?" TRAFFIC in the city flowed smoothly.

There was no midnight at midday and the birds didn't fly for cover. But the eclipse was there and it began over the Pacific Ocean at the Soviet island of Sakhalin, swept across Alaska and northern Canada and into the Atlantic. It was a partial eclipse in Wilmington and the moon began blocking the sun's rays here at 3:33 p.m. By 4:42 the peak of the natural phenomenon in the mid-Atlantic states the moon blocked out left, as seen in New York City yesterday afternoon.

ECLIPSE SEEN IN NEW YORK This multiple-exposure picture shows stages of solar eclipse, starting at top sex Counties although trap inspection has just begun. The pest, which feeds on tree leaves and needles, apparently originated in the heavily infested Northeast, Hickman said. THE traps, baited with a synthetic sex lure, disparlure, are not being set in New Castle County this year although parasites are being released in large numbers. All experts agree the populations found in Delaware last year were too small to represent a threat this year. Persons noticing unusual tree-leaf feeding by caterpillars should notify U.S.

Chess matches are not usually world happenings. But with the keen interest sparked by American Bobby Fischer challenging Russian Boris Spassky for the world title, it's a different situation.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -A rule hanging above the bar at a restaurant in North Beach announces, "We do not serve drunks, of any race, creed or color." "interesting relationship" had been found in the rats between the lack of Vitamin and old age. The conclusion was based on more than 14 months of work by the researchers at Uri aided by representatives from Rhode Island Medical Center and Northwestern University.

KINGSTON, R.I. (UPI) -Vitamin may be a key to the secret of youth, according to four researchers at the University of Rhode Island. The team said yesterday that Vitamin may be at work in human beings to prevent aging. It is found in cereals, egg yolks, milk, beef liver and other foods. Working with a group of experimental rats, the scientists learned animals deprived of Vitamin seemed to age faster and even became senile.
