APPENDIX C 

 SUGGESTED ANTI-MOSQUITO LEAFLET FOR CAMPAIGN 



EDUCATIONAL WORK 



The experience of the writer has been that only a very small proportion 

 of the inhabitants of the average American municipality have any adequate 

 idea as to where and in what manner mosquito-breeding takes place about 

 homes, and, consequently, a vast amount of mosquito production can be 

 eliminated if the citizens are made cognizant of a few simple facts on the 

 subject and persuaded to give their co-operation. 



The following matter is not presented as a model essay on the subject. 

 It is submitted only to give some idea of the facts which, in the opinion of 

 the writer, ought to be given the people of a town engaging in mosquito 

 control work, in order to obtain their intelligent co-operation. It is believed 

 that the expense of printing and distributing such a leaflet will be more 

 than repaid by the resulting assistance of the informed citizens. 



YOUR PART IN THE CITY 1 ANTI-MOSQUITO 



CAMPAIGN 



How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes About The Home 



Mosquitoes Spread Malaria ; Mosquitoes Can Be Eliminated. — In view 

 of the proven fact that mosquitoes are solely responsible for the spread 

 of malaria and other serious diseases and of the further proven fact that 

 mosquitoes can be done away with in any ordinary community by intelligent 

 effort, the City 1 authorities have decided this year to initiate an antimos- 



quito campaign in 2 and an appropriation has already 



been made for the purpose. 



People Must Lend Their Aid; Your Job and the City's. 1 — In order that 

 the campaign be a success, it is absolutely necessary that every citizen do 

 his part. The city is prepared to prevent mosquito-breeding in streams, 

 ponds, swamps and other natural breeding-places throughout the City, 1 as 

 well as in roads, streets, parks and other public places, but the private 

 citizen must prevent mosquito-breeding on his own premises, insofar as such 

 breeding is a result of his own activities or his own negligence. This duty 

 is imposed upon the citizen by City 1 ordinance. 



Purpose of This Leaflet Is To Tell You How To Do Your Part.— This 

 leaflet is distributed by the City 1 with the object of aiding citizens in doing 



1 Substitute Town or Village, where necessary. 



2 Insert name of place.
