SeWrSft — Concentrations of
fiftfShtfatot pe.trtictiies from stu-
dies conducted by the Texas
Park* and Wildlife Department
cause much concern for snm -
marise speetts and some bay
areas.
Besjinninsf in July 1965, the
Department's pesticide study
project saniftes have inchtds-d
oysters, forage fish, game or
predator fish, and shoe birds
and their eggs. So tor, monitor,
lug samples have been taken
to most of the coastal ha'y sj s
terns with random samjiies from
the Gulf of Mexico.
Ail oyster tissue sample* an-
alyxcd have averaged consider-
ably less than 1 part per mill-
ion (ppm) DDT or other pcstici-
dw. Forage fish samp! -a analy-
sed had an average DDT residue
rtmwg from .1733 ppm to 3.275
ppm. Samples taken in the Low-
er Laguna Madre tia\e consis-
teirty had the highest r. sidue.i
found in Texas waters.
The process of bioiogieai mag-
niffeatton inciew ,-s the level of
pesticide concentration in liv-
ing animals. In on litis tration
of this process plankton. oti>-

In oriier to more fully investi-
gate the danger from p stick) '
jmUuOm, several species of fish
and birds have also been exam-
ined. This examination has some
times consisted of whole body
analysis Animals are frequently
i Ms vent. .= and the various hody
organs analyzed separately.
When body organs arc separ-
amfiyxed a whole new pctuie
emerges- One sample of mullet
contained 1.149 ppm of DDT Sr
its metabolites in the liver, ,76
ppm in the gonads, 16 ppm in
the brain, and .346 ppm in th ■
hody flesh. Had this been pre-

bird had ovr r 2 ppm of I neldrin

ppm of polychlorinated i-iphenyl
eomponnds in th- body fiesli and
b vru respectively
The residues of DDT found in
Mrulysis of sen trout ovaries or
ergs have ranged as high u% 7.9N
ppm. Liver from tins species has
contained rs high as 9 3 ppm
of DDT residue
Evaluation of the data being
amassed in this study indicate*
that the impairment of ivprn-
ductive ability and deei easc in
ttie survival of young are the
greatest dangers to a speci -
at th ■ present time

dy has shown that one the
metabolites of DDT, DDK, his*
caused n change in die meta-
bolism in bird ' that res. dt* in
their inability to produce firm
eggshells. The result Is thin or
non-existent ey/shoH* and a
marked increase in egg mortal-
ity before batching can occur.
Evidence from data now lin-
ing examined indicates that le.

H so, you need GAS air conditioningl
t eople with GAS air conditioning were pleased with
thea low gas bills.....especially since the weather,
as you may remember, was unusually hot for so long.
That s one big thing about gas air conditioning ... the
harder it works, the more you save. And you enjoy
maximum comfort even on the hottest days.
Before next year, get the bugs out of your bills. Let us
snow you how little it costs to operate (and maintain) gas
air conditioning No obligation, of course
