Rat Population At City Dump Falling Monthly Treatment ; Killing Off Rats , While he doesn’t set himself up a Pied Piper, or any other fairy . tale figure, H. E. Long,' of South Bend, has a lot to say about the ex- ■ termination of rats. - - What he most recently said was that rats are becoming difficult to find in Dtecatur’svcity dump. This progress report was issued following last month’s usual treat* * ment at the disposal point just east and slightly north of the Monroe street bridge of the St. Mary's river. Long has been busy exterminating rats since last May when the city council okayed his suggestion that such work should be completed. At the time, sordid memories of rats plowing into your : vehicle should you have occasion to drive thfere after dark were repeated. Not the friendly type of rat you 1 might possibly meet bn the street, ~ but the more vicious type that will snipe away damagingly at anything. Rats, long known for their fierce and frequent breeding, were multiplying at the city dump at an alarming rate, and were much concern not only to people who deposited things there, hut also by those who must work in the area. So Long, not a farewell but a professional rat killer whose testimony of his work in other localities, was graphically displayed to city officials, went to work. J The first , month the count was 133 dead rats, which were neatly stacked, then > buried. Each succeeding month'since May the numbers killed have fallen off dramatically. until the last report was 12 rats buried. This is not because of the lessen- .. 2, J .—-U-

ing of efficiency inLong's methods; it „is because of the eradication of the rat menace. Employee at the place testify to this. T Unlike the storied Pied Piper. Long does not tootle some magical , flute and lead the rats to their destruction. Just what he does, however; is a eecret’of the trade he’d rather hot divulge. Powders? Chemicals? Driyes them nuts? It’s hijrd . to guess. \ ' 'if . He sets about his task in \ the morning, about 9 o'clock, and before darkness has completed the task of burying the monthly kill. City officials haven’s. regretted obtaining Long’s services. They state that a recent ban on dumping garbage in the area has minimized the rat population somewhat, but they realize this hasn't done too much. They give the credit to man from South Bend, who makes a living exterminating rats and insects, and' bis reputation is built wholly on death. And there isn’t a rat in town who probably isn't quaking at this very moment. That’s the way it is with rats, especially those being chased. Hoosier Physicians In Annual Convention ... - .. .
