a little, landlocked estuary in which
a million or so people wash and so

gard, it may be remembered that 600
people died of heat prostration re-

folks stopped dying of heat.
For thirty years have lived by
the lake, drank Of it, sailed on it,
fished and swan in it, rescued it's

never once could see why Chicago's
people neglected it's waters OF youth
