Carl Stokes, former mayoralty candidate of Cleveland, Mel Miller, publisher of the "Bay State Banner," and Byron Rushing will speak tonight at 7:30 p.m. at a public lecture sponsored by the Association of African and Afro-American students at 2 Divinity Avenue...
Entomologist Ernest Bay has pinned his hopes on the little Cynolebias bellottii, or Argentine pearlfish. Almost alone it keeps large areas of Argentina and Brazil relatively free of mosquitoes. Immediately after hatching in the waters of low-lying flood plains the tiny fish begins eating mosquito larvae. By the time it reaches its mature length of 1½ in. to 3 in. a few weeks later, it is able to consume about 50 larvae...
...Bay obtained a small number of pearlfish two years ago and kept some in cages in a water-covered rice field, others in test tanks. Their breeding habits were unaffected; during one two-month test, three pairs of caged pearlfish produced a total of almost 2,000 eggs. While 60% hatched under ideal laboratory conditions, as few as one-tenth of 1% of those left to dry in a simulated ricefield environment later produced fish. But even this rate, Bay calculated, is enough for a yearly population of about 38,000 fish per acre...
...Bay is now concentrating on mass-breeding pearlfish in his laboratory, attempting to produce enough to "seed" California's rice fields and, eventually, the flood plains in California and other states. He envisons the day when many of the intermittently flooded fields in the U.S. will be rich in pearlfish eggs. Then as spring rains herald another flood season, millions of eggs will hatch, providing nature's own form of instant mosquito control...
...Daisy in Beverly Hills between exhibitions fuel up with White Russians (vodka, Kahlua and cream) or with the vodka Orange Julius. Their counterparts in Miami and Palm Beach go for the Bog-Fog (vodka and cranberry juice-known to New Englanders as the Cape Codder) or the Palm Bay Intrigue (pineapple wine with vodka and a squeeze of lime...
