She showed me letter from him. Here is
an excerpt which speaks for itself:
Il can scarcely realize as read your

were the kind of people we must have been
before this war. We hadn't even blown the

home for me and our kids. All can think
of, Mary. is getting this job finished and
coming home to what didn't know l had

In ONE way or another. this awakening
of Americans is practically universal. What
our young people are thinking about is
important. and what they are thinking
about is getting home and back into the
harness in which 50 many of them were
once restless and balky.
They are no longer thinking of how
monotonous the little home town was.
They are thinking. instead, how indescrib-
ably dear was that room up under the
caves in that little old frame house on Elm
Street. They are thinking of Mothers
deep dish apple pie, and the way the green
trees wave outside church windows on
sleepy Sunday mornings. They are think
ing of a lanky fellow in striped trousers
and high hat, and of bronze girl holding
a torch in New York Harbor.
lHs is the moment in our comtry's his
tory which is the equivalent of the crisis in
The Deluge." Under pressure of danger,
a good many of those who are caught in
the direct path of our emergency are prom
ising, if only they are spared, that they
will more fully realize themselves and
their blessings.
During the terrible deluge of this war,
evaluations of the good old American way
of life, which we once took so much for
granted. have come home to us. So have
new determinations that our future shall
surpass even our past. During this present
period of baptism by fire and suffering, we
are staring at new values. seeing visions of
a better world.
Our soldiers will be coming back to us in
that spirit We and they - must resolve
to hold fast to the dreams and to the high
new resolves that have come out of the
crucible of our agonies.

Bathing Beach Pollution
Attitude Given by Dr.. Kane
Lake Water Contaminated, Health Officer
Points Out, But Within Limits Of Sofety

Admitted that a degree Of
pollution exists in all lake
water in this area. and that
such water is dangerous when
taken internally. Health Officer
DR.. William j. Kane, of this
city, today explained the official
attitude on swimming in Lake
ST. Clair.
Every precaution is taken at
the Municipal Beach, Dr. Kane
stated, and water tests are made
several times daily and sent to
Lansing twice weekly. No ex-
cessive pollution has been
found so far. he pointed out.
but if the standard of safety
is passed, the public will be
fully informed.
Kane's statement is as follows:
Every summer brings up the
question of the safety of the
bathing beach. The water of
Lake st. Clair like that of all
of the Great Lakes is not pure
but contaminated. Under the
painstaking and capable direc-
ton Of the chemist employed by
the city of Mount Clemens this
contaminated water is examined
several times daily and treated
so that when it comes through
our taps it is safe for human

consumption. 1t is obvious that
the water of bathing beach
can not be so treated and SO for
drinking purposes it is not
safe. In the case of swimmers,
particularly children it is inn
possible to keep water out Of
the mouth and nose and if it IS
accidently swallowed il must DE
considered unsafe.
There are different degrees
Of contamination and the State
has set up certain standards
whereby swimming is allowed
at certain beaches and con-
demned at others. The water
from the City Beach is ex-
amined twice week and the
report sent to Lansing. This has
been the practise ever since the
beach was opened several years
ago. So far the degree of pol
luton has not exceeded the re-
quirements set by the State and
the beach is in operation.
M at any time an examina-
ton reveals that the standard
is being violated the public Will
be informed and the State will
erect warning signs the same as
il has on other St. Clair beaches
and along the Clinton river.
