He suggested they should be replaced with young hardwoods less attractive to the gypsy moths. Aerial spraying is slated In only 10 percent of the totally infested areas of the state and those areas are "where people reside and don't want to put up with the problem for two years when it will probably burn itself out," Nichols said The chemical used in the aerial spraying is Dylox, which Nichols said is judged safe by DER.

The cost is $10 per acre and about a pound of the chemical is spread across each acre. Pennsylvania does not use the controversial Sevin, which kills honey bees, nor does it use the safer biological spray, BT, for three reasons: BT gets only 50 percent of the caterpillars while Dylox checks 90-95 percent. BT requires two applications per year instead of one. -BT would complicate the program, cost more and require more living next to a property owner who objects to aerial spraying because that property and 500 feet surround- -ing it will be removed from the spray block if an objection is registered with DER. k.j Anyone who wants a booklet telling all about the gypsy moth call Clymer's office or the office of Resource Management, Bureau of For-resty in Harrisburg, It's free.

The first is to import large flies and nonstinging wasps from Europe and Asia that feed on the gypsy moths to get the population under control by the end of next year.

James 0. Nichols, state ment of Environmental Resources i chief of forrest pest management, joined state Rep. Paul Clymer, R-145 District, at a public hearing last night to discuss the state's program to combat the menace.

Churchill, SEP-TA-appointed hearing examiner, reported Wendesday that plans to drop the Lansdale-Quakertown and Nor-ristown-Pottstown shuttles "met relatively little opposition from community groups."
