BOARD CHAIRMAN RETIRES 



A long time friend of mosquito control and employee of the Department of 

 Food and Agriculture, John J. McColgan retired this year after many excellent 

 years of service to the Commonwealth. Mr. McColgan was the former chairman of 

 the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board and General Counsel for the 

 Department of Food and Agriculture. The Department and all his friends in 

 mosquito control wish him well and extend their gratitude for a job well done! 



We welcome Lewis F. Wells, Jr. to the State Reclamation and Mosquito 

 Control Board as designee of Commissioner Winthrop. On August 17, 1983, Mr. 

 Wells was elected Chairman of the Board. 



PLEA TO A MOSQUITO 



Pray transfer your air attack 



To my husband's slothful back. 



Puncture him with malice keen 



Then perhaps he'll fix that screen!
