NOT A DROP
TO DRINK
“Drink?” she asked, dipping a
glass of water from the lake.
“Is it safe?” I inquired, knowing
what condition a good many of our
lakes are in.
‘Absolutely, my hostess said,
handing me the glass of clear,
sparkling water.
There are not too many places
left in this great country of ours
where you can drink straight from
the lake. This happened to be in
Wisconsin, an hour and a half from
Chicago. It wasn’t wilderness. It
was smack in the middle of an
upper-middle class residential dis¬
trict. Homes circled the lake in
good supply. Yet the water was
clean because the people who lived
there and boated and swam in it
decided a long time ago to keep it
that way. Okay, so the deep, fresh
water springs that fed the lake
had something to do with it. True.
But the major share of the credit
must be given to the people who
refused to let their greatest natural
asset become a receptacle for the
slime, sewage, refuse and garbage
that has ruined so many of our
lakes, rivers, and harbors.
It’s really been only the last de¬
cade or so that we, as a nation,
have become really concerned
about our waters. Only in scattered,
isolated cases have we had any
efforts to clean up our water re¬
sources. Many of us have felt that
the waters of our nation were
enough to do whatever we’ve need¬
ed them for as long as we’ve
wanted. But with our population
growing closer to the 200 million
mark, the demands on our water
supply, both commercial and recre¬
ational, keep expanding. The result
is, we are running out of clean
water for both uses. It’s not that
there is less water than before. In
fact, the water supply is virtually
inexhaustible since it constantly is
recirculating. It may not be in
the same place next time around,
but the quantity is still the same.
You can even split it into hydrogen
and oxygen, but as soon as these
two elements get together again
— water. The trouble is we have
abused it, badly. Literally hundreds
of billions of gallons of sewage is
dumped into rivers, streams, and
lakes daily.
Did you know we’ve had a law
on the books since 1899 prohibiting
the dumping of any kind of refuse
into our national waters? It ap
plies only to the navigable waters
of the United States, but these are
some of the worst places when it
comes to contamination. Virtually
little has been done to enforce this
law when compared to the amount
of junk that is dumped in every
day. Most. Of the work toward stop¬
ping heavy pollution has occurred
during the last decade under the
Water Quality Control Act of 1956.
This act makes funds available to
states and communities for improv¬
ing and expanding their sewage
treatment facilities. Since then
about $2.8 billion has been spent.
But officials estimate that some
$700 million or more is needed
annually, starting now, just to keep
up with the growing demand.
What’s all this got to do with
boats and boating? Plenty. First, no
one wants to launch his boat in a
gigantic cesspool. And that’s just
what some of our lakes and rivers
are becoming — just ask the resi¬
dents around Lake Erie. Pollution
of this lake has all but killed the
fish, has nearly choked the lake
with algae, and in general killed
the lake for anything but sewage
disposal. It need not have hap¬
pened.
Second, both state and federal
authorities are putting the clamps
on the discharge hoses from boats
with marine toilets. They are put¬
ting bigger teeth into the anti¬
litter laws and they are enforcing
them! While boats and boatmen
are not the big offenders when it
comes to water pollution — the
crown is worn by towns and in¬
dustry — government people see
boating as a good place to start.
Since it is small, compared to mu¬
nicipal and industrial pollution
problems, the pollution from boats
is the easiest to stop.
The result is that nearly half
the 50 states have marine sewage
laws. They aren’t all the same, but
that will be worked out, hopefully,
Despite the objections of some
boating groups, there’s no point in
fighting City Hall on this one. What
is being done is keeping the sand
in our sandbox dean of our wastes.
Major Nix Receives .
Oak Leaf Clusters
For Viet Service
(AHTNC) — Major Edward J.
Nix, son o£ Mr. and Mrs. Harrison
S. Nix, Route 3, Cleveland, received
congratulations and the second and
third Oak Leaf Clusters to the Air
Medal from Brig. Gen. Elias C.
Townsend, assistant commandant
of the U. S. Army Command and
General Staff College at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, during cere¬
monies at the Fort September 23.
The award carries a “V” device
denoting the recognition of valor.
An Oak Leaf Cluster is given for
each additional award of the initial
presentation. Major Nix was presen¬
ted the awards for meritorious
service while engaged in aerial sup¬
port of ground forces in the Re¬
public of Vietnam December 1964
to April 1965. He entered the Army
in November 1961.
Court and Society
<< Am I alone, I wonder, in find¬
ing the list of Official lunches and
dinners which regularly appear*
on the social page of The Times
irrestible reading?” So asked a
columnist the other day in the
leftist British weekly, the New
Statesman. He answered his own
question, giving presumably
with intent — the impression that
what drew him to the lunch and
dinner list was his fascinated hor¬
ror at the sheer social snobbery
of being included in the exalted
game of name-dropping-cum-musi*
cal chairs at so-and-so’s.
Perhaps the columnist should
remind himself that, no matter
whether men call themselves mon¬
archists or republicans, democrats
or autocrats, conservatives or liber¬
als, egalitarians or aristocrats, U
or non-U, in or out, beat or square,
they nearly always come up with
totem poles or pecking orders.
Surely a good leftist should not
forget that who appears in what
order on the Lenin Mausoleum in
Red Square has long been the
way of telling who is in and who
is out in Moscow. And in another
capital. In a land where the boast
is made that class-distinction is at
1 minimum, the incumbent of the
White House has been quoted as
remarking scornfully on Washing¬
ton’s using as a social yardstick
whether or not one gets invited to»
dinner with the Alphads. (The Al
phads are the French Ambassa¬
dors and his wife.)
We do not like snobbishness of
any kind. But so long as human
beings are human beings, The
Times — whether of London or
New York — the Washington Post,
Le Monde and even Pravada are
likely to continue to carry columns
telling directly or indirectly who
is with it and who is not. Whether
we agree with their respective
yardsticks is quite a different
matter. — The Christian Science
Monitor.

YOUTH CORPS BEGINS —
The Youth Corps is now in oper¬
ation in White County. We have
about 40 boys and girls working.
The program has been changed
quite a hit, the number has been
reduced and the time has been
reduced that they can work, but
they are doing a very good job.
WANTED — A MATH TEACHER
We have been unable to get a
math teacher for the high school.
If you know of one please notify
Mr. McDaniel or myself.
Once we’ve solved the problem of
our own messiness, then we can
bear down on the bullies of indus
t r i a l and municipal pollution. A lot
has been done, but a lot more has
to be done, despite financial and
political obstacles, toward keeping
our playground clean. Once the
boaters are without guilt, they can
start throwing stones at the big
offenders,
