Urges Pennsylvania Build Turnpike Link Erie Mayor Warns Os Ohio Interests BEAVER FALLS. Pa. (INS) — -The mayor of Erie, Pa., has warned that quick action is needed to insure a turnpike link in Pennsylvania from the rich, industrial district around Pittsburgh to the Great Lakes. Mayor Arthur Gardner told an eight-criunty rally at Falls Friday that if a spur to the Pennsylvania turnpike is not built from Pittsburgh to the lakes, Ohio will push through a parallel route. Gardner, addressing some 150 delegates to the rally climaxing a drive for such a superhighway link, said he was not satisfied with surveys which the Pennsylvania turnpike commission says it has made. He said: “The potential of a fast, modern high way is infinitely greater than anything the present traffic counts could possibly show. We must build on what will exist in the future.’’ The mayor declared that “Ohio ihterests" —which he did not name -—are trying to keep Pennsylvania groups seeking the highway spur at loggerheads.” He said that the groups in the neighboring state believe that if they can block a Pennsylvania road long enough they will have a head start in linking Pittsburgh's industrial traffic to their Cleveland and Ashtabula ports. The meeting was attended by delegates from Beaver, Erie, Allegheny. Crawford, Greene, Lawrence. Mercer and Washington counties. Box Elder Bug Is Reported In County An annual pest, w-hich “causes housewives many worries when they raid homes, the box elder bug has made its appearance in numerous parts of Adams county, it has been reported. The little insects, which eventually work their way into homes, already have been found at the base of trees. Soon they will migrate to the wooden part of residences and then into cellars. Agricultural experts say that the best way to control the pests is to immediately spray at the base of the trees where they are found with a chlordane emulsion. Foundations of homes also should be sprayed with the solution. The injects do not do any ’appreciable daiiiage in the hotfies but they are a definite nuisance and remain in homes for many weeks unless they are brought under control, it was learned.
