New Method of Termlto Control

A new mettrod of termite control is now available from Mariae Associates. Called the X-Termi-Nail, the unit consists of a nail-like cartridge containing Calcium Arsenate, which is driven into strategic locations throughout wood structures. An ordinary nail is then driven through the cartridge, impregnating the area around the nail.

Key features of this new device are its low cost and ease of application. E'or example, on new construction, car?enters merely drive X-Termi-Nails along with regular nails. Primarily designed for new buildings, X-Termi-Nails can be used on older houses, utility poles, farm wooden fences, or any other construction subject to termite infestation. Because the nail unit is completely sealed, it is safe to handle and use.

Furher information on the X-Termi-Nail method appears in bulletin No. 156, available from Mariae Assoclat€s' P.O. Box 664' Gllendora, Callfornla.

THAT NEIGHBOR OF MINE An Editoriol

My neighbor lives just across the way, across the boundary fence.

But he is no mere neighbor, in the sense that his property is simply adjacent to mine.

He greets you with a smile, no matter who you are, or where he meets you, and his big bass voice booms out cheery words.

That neighbor of mine is the idol of every youngster in the neighborhood, for whose eager interrogatives he is never too busy, and into whose play-life he enters with a heart that refuses to grow old.

Even the animals and birds find sanctuary, food, and shelter, by grace of this neighbor of mine.

He does not turn away from tears of others, or shun their burdens, but is the first to offer services in sorrow's lone hour; a rock of defense for the weary heart.

Through the faults of others he draws an erasing line, and covers their sins with a mantle of true charity, and like the One of old bids them go in peace and sin no more. This neighbor of mine.

But-and in this my heart condemns me-am I true neighbor to him?
