LAUREL — Here’s one way to beat the housing shortage.
When David Anderson of Newcastle decided to move to Laurel he could not obtain a house in which to live. But this did not prevent Anderson from moving.
A house-mover by trade, Anderson bought a house in Newcastle, loaded it on a truck and brought it to Laurel. He set it on a foundation he had previously constructed and moved in the same night.

The meetings are sponsored by the extension project clubs in the various towns and are open to the general public. Miss Gail Songer, district home agent, and R. L. Wagner, county agent, conduct the demonstrations.
In addition to the demonstrations and discussion on the proper use of DDT, there will be sound movies on the control of insects and roden ts which affect human health.
The new insecticide, DDT, has moved into the house to rid it of many insect pests and to safeguard the family against diseases carried by insects, according to Miss Mabel Doremus, specialist in nutrition with the agricultural extension service, Dr. M. H. Muma, extension entomologist and Dr. S. W. Alford, extension animal pathologist at the University of Nebraska college of agriculture.
People who see this demonstration will be shown how to use the various type of DDT preparations to control fleas, mosquitoes, flies, bedbugs, cockroaches, and silverfish. DDT is not a cure-all, according to Dr. Muma, but it is effective in controlling many insect pests.
