Entertain Hockey Team Port Perry Flyers have two note. worthy accomplishments. The one is being Central Ontario Jr, B champ- ions and the other one is eating, and its hard to say at which they aré more efficient, At any rate they certainly enjoyed themselves last Thursday when they were the guests of sports minded men- of the Community who thought that the Flyers had earned an evening together to.finish off the hockey season, = Gathering at two points, one in Fort and one in Oshawa, thé car convoy headed for Toronto where. they stop- ped at the Town and Country Club and it was here that they showed their great appreciation of good food, it might alsé be said that the hosts were not outdone in this respect, but that is what one should expect when hun- gry men and good food get together. From here most walked the short distance to the Maple Leaf Gardens (no doubt that did a lot of good, too). Here the Flyers had a chance to wit- ness one of the playoff games between St. - Catharines and the Edmonton team. Judging by the coniments some of the Flyers felt that if they only had 'their skates they could have given the- Tee Pee's a run for their money, for the west looked badly out- classed in that game.

Prep are for Caterpillars CITIZENS URGED 'TO PREPARE FOR CATERPILLAR INVASION Farmers, home owners, park super- intendents and resort owners in east- ern Canada. are urged to prepare against another invasion of tent eat: erpillars this month. According to J. G. Hastings of 'the agricultural chemicals department of Canadian Indutries Limited, the in- "| vasion will last from the beginning of May to the -end of June, If not controlled, great areas of forest land and many oramental and fruit trees in parks' and home gardens may be stripped of their foliage. ~~ Every- greens will not be affected. As weapons, he suggested the use of hand or power. sprayers and 50% DDT wettable powder applied at the rate of two pounds in every 100 gal- lons of water for large areas, or four tablespoonsful in one gallon of water for a few trees. These rates should be doubled when spraying trunks to control migrating caterpillars. . Mr. Hastings says there are two species of caterpillar prevalent in On- tario and Quebec--the eastern and the forest tent caterpillars. The eastern species constructs a web or tent if the forks of tree branches which serves as a base of operations. The forest species is more difficult to spot as it has' no tent but migrates from one tree or shrub to another in search of food. For sumemr resorts, wood lots and DDT oil concentrate.
