Rat Menace

1 Jan 1943

RAT MENACE Every man, woman, and child is asked to be a "Rat-Reporter" Rats are a growing danger! "Every year rats and mice together are either destroying or fouling 2,000,000 tons of food," said the Minister of Food recently. At this moment there are probably 40 million rats in this country—almost as many rats as people. They are at an alarming level right here in this area. A country-wide effort is being made to destroy these food-devour- ing, disease-spreading pests. The campaign starts this week in the Greater London area.
