Drinking Water

Typhoid fever and other water
borne diseases which at one time
were so common have been practi-
cally eliminated by the scientific use
of chlorine to disinfect water sup
plies. Although disinfection makes
water safe, it usually does not re-
move tastes and odors, and, in fact,
sometimes intensifies them. The
public often judges the purity and
safety of a food or water by it's
taste and smell, and if the palata-
bility Of public water supply is
bad, the public will drink less water
and some people will use nearby
springs and wells. Responsible Off
Gals recognize the importance OF
palatability in public water supplies
and in recent years have effected a
great improvement in this respect.
The treatment adopted is to use
active carbon, product originally
developed to protect soldiers
against war gases. Active carbon is
now used in over 200 public water
supplies in this country.

PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS

The regional Office of the Federal

The bulk of the FWA public works
program In Maryland and Delaware
consists Of public school facilities,

Vickers explained, in order to enable
communities to meet needs created
by wartime conditions In eongested

GOVERNMENT-B ACCORD
VITAL TO PEACE PROSPERITY

Government must be willing to
keep pace with the spirit of an ex-
banding America if this country is to
avoid a postwar depression.
Everything is set definitely for an
unprecedented era of prosperity after
the war, except for the assurance
that government will freely permit a
Grand new pioneer urge to develop,
according to Frazier Hunt, noted eco
nomist.
His conclusions, based on inter
views with hundreds of persons in in
..ustry and business, labor, govern
ment and agriculture, auguring a
dappy postwar future for the United
states are published in the January
ssue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
From these men of broad vision
md courage the writer obtained an
Encouraging picture of postwar
United States hungry for the things
{ has been deprived of for years and
eady to spend money to get them.
Major factors that point to an era
If prosperity are listed by the writer
as:
Number One is the fact that we
have one hundred billion dollars in
asvings to start with. We have pent
up wants and needs that stretch all
the way from refrigerators to air.
ports and reborn cities. We have mil
ions of skilled hands with the know
how With that goes the finest set of
tools and production lines in the
world. And new knowledges and tech
niques that are the heritage of the
war.
We have the raw materials and the
will to turn them into finished pro-
ducts for a home and foreign market
that can be expanded beyond the
widest calculations of our prewar
economy. We have hundreds of ne
elected services that will absorb mil
lions of our war-employed men and
women This sideslip back to peace
will solve two-thirds of our whole I'M
employment problem"
But to realize on these assets we
must have government cooperation,
according to a majority of leaders in
terviewed
Paul G. Hoffman, who heads up
Studebaker and the Committee of In
dustria1 Development. summed it uD
succinctly when he said:
I'VE have to have an equitable and
sable economic climate. The estab-
iishment of such climate can only
take place in an atmosphere of
friendliness and cooperation between
government business. labor and agri-
culture"

LOOK AHEAD, LABOR!

The cause of organized labor con-
tinues to suffer because of wartime
strikes. A short time ago, General
Eisenhower sent home word that this
country was not producing sufficient
military supplies to keep up with the
demands of the advancing American
armies in Europe. Then, if ever, was
the time for labor to see that not a
day or an hour be lost in the produc-
ton of the needed equipment. In
stead, Immediately after Eisenhow-
er's plea, more strikes occurred. New
err has TIE comparison between fail
ure at home and the cry for help
from the front been more direct or
more bitterly apparent
Some day when the war is over and
: the service men and their families
are reunited, they will be heard from
Why don't more union spokesman
look ahead to that day?

NOT TOO CHILLY

Another wartime winter is here.
As usual the air is filed with talk OF
civilian fuel shortages. Because more
than rs per cent of the nations pop
llation is dependent upon coal 70,
,yarmth, figures on coal are in order.
Since the start of the war, the BIZ
luminous coal industry has been min
ing three times the coal for war man
featuring, the railroads, the making
of electricity and gas, steel and civil
liam industries, that 1t has for demes-
tic users. ct the same time, it has al
so increased the output Of coal for
home consumption by rs per cent a
year since Pearl Harbor, pace cur
emily being maintained.
During the present heating season,
the coal mining industry is prepared
to furnish upwards of 1870, 100000
tons of coal solely for American
homes, at an average price of less
titan $1,000 a ton. In other words,
the entire confusing population OF
the United States will be kept warm
through the coming 200 days of cold
and chilly weather, for an average
cost of 10 cents day per person.
This does not look like the nation
is going to suffer too greatly from
lack of coal.

"HOLD YOUR HORSES"
nv j. II: Jones

Washington, d. c., Jan. s, 194b--
Hearings will begin this month In
Congress on proposals for compulsory
military training legislation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt favors the passage Of
universal draft law this winter.
Opposition to a military service act
was expressed by Republican House
Leader Joe Martin of Massachusetts.
II don't think there's any reason t.
be stampeded into hasty decision,
Martin said. "A peacetime draft can
not become effective until after the
war. Perhaps he added, 1.-The boys
coming back will want to have some.
thing to say about it,"
In the opinion of Speaker Rayburn
Of Texas, there Is no necessity for
speedy action on new legislation.
There are sharp divisions in Wash
.mgton over the issues stated above
One political school of thought be-
iieves that it would be necessary to
have universal military training pro.
iding the United Nations establish
A permanent peace. Still other groups
insist that no matter how things &c
yhat in time of peace we should pre-
pare for war. In the meantime farm
youths have been ordered inducted.
1t may be assumed that Congress
will make thorough study of the
recommendation from the White
House for universal peacetime draft
aw Nevertheless there ia practically
no possibility of any legislation to
settle this question before the end OF
the war.

Turkey Changes From Old
To New i'm Two Decades

Turkey Is still pictured by many
Americans as the land of the sultans
and caliphs, of the fez and the yelled
harem, but 1t renowned all that be-
ginning in 1923. In that year Turks
elected their national leader, Renal
Ataturk, as first president of the
Turkish republic. Under his Wig
orous, benevolent despotism, lasting
until his death in November, 1888,
they set about to Danish traces of
old Ottoman Empire days. They
streamlined their living to western
standards.
Change touched everybody, every
thing. Constantinople lost its Greek
name, became Istanbul; lost the
distinction of being the capital be-
cause of it's frontier location. The
capital was moved inland to once
sleepy Ankara (Angora), where a
modern steel-and-concrete city Of
$4,000 has been developed. The
dominant Moslem religion was di-
vorced from state affairs, education
was made compulsory for youth,
women were emancipated Western
dress was adopted by both sexes and
the fez was outlawed as symbol
of the unenlightened past. Legal
codes were revised; the Gregor-
ian calendar, metric system and a
Latin alphabet were adopted.
Needed industries were developed
in this agricultural nation, and To-
Gated with military considerations
prevailing over convenience to raw
materials. A sizeable army was
trained and military construction
undertaken to bulwark national de-
Tense. Five-year plans measured
the progress toward the many goals
set, and their achievement added to
the new spirit Of national. nifty.

Crossing Cotton

Tests with fields of green-leaf and
red-leaf cotton indicate that the
fields must be one mile or more
apart to provide complete isolation.
Natural crossing of different vari-
cites of cotton has been found to take
place at considerable distance and
through barriers of several rows
of corn, according to cotton breed
ers in the U. S. department of agri-
culture. Fields of the two kinds of
cotton were grown in four ways !:
side by side, with three rows OF
corn between, with six rows of corn
between, and with nine rows Of
corn between. None of these bar
riers prevented natural crossing,
and fields up to eight-tenths of a
mile apart showed evidence OF
some crossing, it was reported.

Limb Wounds Still the
Greatest in Wars Toll

Despite the increased ferocity OF
the present war, the number of war
wounds to the arms and legs-ma.
jor injury in battle-is no greater
now than in any other war oil
Americas history, it is indicated in
reports by medical officers to Brig
Gen. Fred S. Rankin, u. S. army
chief consultant in surgery to Maj
Gen. Norman T. Kirk, the surgeon
general of the army.
Comparative figures indicate
wounds of the extremities consti-
tuted 1913 per cent of all combat
injuries in the Civil war and 76.5
of all combat wounds in the World
war. In the present war, 10 per
cent of all battle wounds are wounds
of the extremities.
Doctors thus know that if man
is going to be wounded in conflict
the chance is seven out of ten that
the wound will be in the arm OF
leg, just as it has always been. This
percentage remains the same as
in the past, despite the greatly in
creased use of land mines in the
present war.
Land mines, because of their
great explosive charge, are one. OF
the most rightly feared of all mill
tary weapons in this war. There is
no effort to minimize the dangers
OF land mine injuries in the report.
Their detonations literally crush the
leg or arm in some cases, and am
putations may be the only answer.

WILL FREEDOM SURVIVE
VICTORY?

Another year of war has drawn to
a close. Volumes of rhetoric Will be
written about the awful destruction
of the past twelve months. Puny ef-
forts will be made to describe the
suffering of the men of the armed
forces, who face death day after day,
year after year, far from home and
loved ones. Actually there are no
words that can adequately sum up
1914, the most critical year in Ameri-
can history.
The astounding thing about the
kome front is the fact that except fol-
the families of service men, 1t lives
normally and has no conception OF
the horrors of war. Social security
planning, full employment and dizzy
talk of a contented postwar world
with all the worries assumed by q
benevolent government, arise from
the American scene like a haze from
a swamp. Clear, unqualified thought
on the subject of personal freedom
is almost totally lacking.
AS the war moves on, country af-
ter country sees the spectre of oppres-
sion and government by small cliques
loom larger and darker over the
world. The United States is no excep-
ion to this trend. Much of our post
war planning is crazy mixture OF in
dividual initiative and bureaucratic
paternalism. The conflict between
those who believe in state socialism
and would have the government take
over basic industries land those who
believe in the superiority of privately
owned enterprise, has led to rash
promises Many on both sides appar-
emily believe that the crux of the is
sue is full stomach, with the result
that a material value has been put
on freedom. Each side has striven tc
outpromise the other until it has be-
come rank keresy to suggest that
there may at times be lean going In
the future.
Millions expect government to fur
nish them jobs, to guarantee peace
time prices, to protect them from the
insecurity of competition T h
should remember that the more they
ask of the government, the less free
dom they will have. If government
ends by owning most of industry and
employing most of the people, as well
as regulating the lives of the remain
der, freedom will become mockery.
AS Robert S. Henry, eminent writer
and historian, observes:
THE right Of nonconformity is ul-
timately the most important of hui
man rights, but / doubt if it can long
exist independently of the right OF
private property. After all the man
who owns nothing, and has no hope
of owning anything for himself, is
unde ra terrible handicap in express
ing untrammeled individuality. He is
without place for his foot to stand
upon, in opposition to the conforming
forces of the collectivist state"
Our people could lose everything
of material value as the price of vic
tory in this war and still have a
bright future. However, let too much
government destroy the freedom and
hope of the individual to build again
and there is no future. The right of
ownership is more important than
ownership itself.
