Thundoy, Julyl, 1969 6A RACINE JOURNAL-TIMES City Health Officer Warns of Problems Caused by Rats Pointing out that rats are re sponsible for more illnesses and wv f.H r- -4' 'U, Jrs- y' '-'M deaths any other group of mammals, Dr. G. P. Ferrazzano urged, "If you see rats in your neighborhood, take immediate steps to destroy them." Aside from the fact that rats pose a serious threat to health and safety, Ferrazzano said they also cause substantial economic loss. According to the U.

S. Public Health Service, rodents con- ing permanent rat control is alteration of the environment so that population cannot bs "supported," the doctor said. Ferrazzano said the best way to get rid of rats is to: 1. Use galvanized-steel refuse containers. 2.

Make sure refuse container lids are secured tightly. 3. Do not let refusecollect on ground around containers. 4. Store containers on an elevated platform at least 12 inches off the ground.

5. Remove all rubbage which could be used as a harborage for rats. Keep yards neat and clean. 6. Keep basement windows and doors closed or covered with heavy wire screening to prevent entrance of rodents.

7. Be reminded that extensive community education in sanitary controls is helpful. taminate everything they touch and destroy millions of dollars worth of food and property annually. "Many people are unaware of the presence of rats because rats usually prefer to remain anonymous during the day and pillage for food during the dark hours," Ferrazzano said. And, he added, where there is one, there most certainly are others.

Rats possess a "keen sense of smell and appear to enjoy the odors of most foods consumed by man. However, they lack an acute sense of taste and can thrive on garbage and spoiled meat, explaining why piles of refuse and even sewers can be feeding grounds. Ferrazzano also noted that the wandering range of rats is not far, so if one is seen, it is nesting nearby.

UNIVERSITY OF IOWA stu FIGHT RENEWED Three Racine Zoo employes and a state Conservation Department worker-renewed the fight against algae in the zoo pond, Wednesday, by spraying the green stuff with a powerful copper-sulphate solution. It took a total of seven and one-half pounds of the chemical in almost 200 gallons of water to complete the job. The conservation worker was present to insure that only a limited amount of this chemical found its way into the waters of Lake Michigan.

Two zoo employes manned the hose in the spraying operation. Journal-Times Photo Racine police are attempting to quash a rumor that a civil disturbance occurred in the city early this week and is being kept secret by the department. Capt. Donald Dodge, head of the Police Department's Community Relations Bureau, said he was swamped with telephone calls Wednesday after a Racine woman spread the rumor by calling a local radio station's "talk show." The woman claimed she heard reports of the "riot" over a Chicago station. Police branded the rumor as "completely false and irresponsible." The apparent basis for the rumor, Dodge explained, was an investigation into vandalism at the Army National Guard Armory at 2316Roosevelt Road.

One or two persons climbed over the armory fence, started two trucks and drove them into the fence, Dodge said.
