CLEARING THE
TRIBUTARIES
Hamilton Is Mentioned In Discussion
Of Stream Pollution.

One of the things which has con-
tributed much to the increase OF pol
luton in all streams, and particularly
in Ohio, is lack of incentive to towns
and cities downstream to act to treat
their sewage while outpourings OF
contamination deluge them from
above
1t is refreshing therefore to review
what has been done in the Western
Ohio and Eastern Indiana sectors of
the Ohio Valley in the last few years
Greenville, Piqua, Dayton, Eaton,
Lewisburg, West Alexandria and New
Paris in Ohio, Union City, New Castle,
Winchester, Hagerstown, Richmond
and Centerville in Indiana have all
acted or are engaged in preparing
sewage disposal plants.
This is to say that broad belt at
the headwaters of Ohio tributaries,
including the Miami, Whitewater and
White River Valleys, is clearing rap
idly from contamination. Thus cities
and towns below them have nothing
but their own inertia for excuse.
1t is all too frequently said that
there are no rewards for cities and
towns upstream which have installed
sewage disposal plants. In actuality
the reclamation of river fronts and
the clearing of waters have added to
property values, developed riverside
parks and boulevards, made possible
game preserves and recreation spots
This is all the more reason for clear
ing up the lower portions of the trib
utaries. Already there is an active
movement in Connersville on thu
Whitewater. This should remove al
excuse for offenders like Hamilton ant
others on the Miami, both municipa
and industrial, not to act to clear u
the lower portion of the Miami whlcl
is best suited for residence and rec
reation along it's banks.-Cincinnat

Pensions Held Necessary
Because OF Low Incomes

Washington, D. G. (AFLWNS).-
Less than a decent living income for
large groups of American citizens does
not tend to strengthen the democratic

Townsend before the House Ways and
Means Committee in urging pension
up to 5000 month to persons over
60 years of age.

place of subversive agitation against

STANDARDS ADVANCED

Any attack made on the standards
of the Works Progress Administra-
tion or the Public Works Administra-
tion is also an attack on the standards
of organized labor, because only by
the efforts of organized labor has the
standards of relief labor been ad-
vanced and if we allow these stand
ards to be torn down by a so-called
economy program, we will find en-
ployers starting campaign to tear
down organized labor standards
