Editorial
Four Essential Rights Would Hit Reds

In a speech in Chicago ILL.,, on May %, 1871,
the late President Franklin ID. Roosevelt champ
Toned the fight for four freedoms: l. Free
dom of speech and expression; 2. Freedom of
every person to worship God in his own way; B.
Freedom from want and t. Freedom from fear.
Directed at the begerent world at large,
the four freedoms later were included i'll the
historical Atlantic Charter which was agreed
upon by President Roosevelt and then Prime
Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain on
a ship early in August, 1911, somewhere in the
Atlantic
: Since the Atlantic Charter, lot of water
and World War II, TOBIAS passed under. the
bridge.
And since World War II, our country
seemingly forgot the four freedoms.
Last Wednesday, however, President Har-
ny S. Truman heard an explosive report from his
committee on civil rights, which in precedent
marking review of the civil rights field in our
country proposed the death of racial segrega-
ton.
The committee strongly urged the revision
of laws to assure four Essential rights to
Americans: l. The right to safety and security
of the person; =. The right to citizenship and its
privileges; g. The right to freedom of conscience
and expression. and 4. The right to equality of
opportunity.
President Truman said he plans to study
the recommendations with great care'-and
well he might-as the committee warned that
'the time is now for three reasons: moral,
economic and international.
The committees view of the international
aspect especially rings true as it is no secret
that our country today is embroiled in
military struggle with Russia. Investigation
of n-American activities, pointed accurately at
Communists and Fascsts, is bald declaration
that we are i'll an under-cover war with Stains
Reds.
Too, the committee minced no words when
it added
''The United States is not so strong, the
final triumph of the democratic ideal is not so
inevitable that we can ignore what the world
thinks of us our records. -
The four essential rights to all Ameri-
cans, regardless of who he is, where he lives, or
what racial, religious or national origins are
would serve as deadlier weapon than the
much-feared atom bomb in the fight against
communism in country.
The four essential rights would strike
the heart of the Soviet program, crush the forces
which strive to split our people, and restore
our peoples faith in the America way of life

NvC CANCELS DANCE
The action of the NvC in cancel
ing its November dance was a ges-
ture In order to avoid conflict
with the Mercury affair. The
Mercury boys should understand
that scheduling of the NvC dance
in the first place, was not done
with any idea of embarrassing
their organization, but was unin-
territorial The NvC had intended
since early summer, to hold a
Thanksgiving dance. AS matters
now stand, the Nvc Will not have
a single dance for the last three
months Of this year, unless perhaps
something Is cooked up for New
Years Mercury now has the green
light for its November affair, as far
as the NvC Is concerned.

HEAVY SNOW AND COLD
DAMAGES GREENHOUSES

The recent low Temporal
lures and sleet storms, with
extra heavy snow fall in many
parts of the country, have
brought severe damage to both
vegetable and flower growers.
Many green houses have caved
in with the great weight of the
wet snow, and crops grown
outdoors in mild areas have
been frozen.
This accounts for the search
ty and high prices of fresh
vegetables and flowers, and
this scarcity will exist for some
time as requirements require
time to grow.
The operators of our local
greenhouse are very thankful
that no serious damage was
done to their houses and that
they have had a stock of plants
and cut-flowers from which
to draw to supply their de-
mand.
This fact has made it pos
sible for them to maintain
their prices at a level COM
parable to normal seasons.

declared, provided an addi-
tional argument for develop
ment of a metropolitan water
system.
Ninety-eight rural school
water systems also were sur
veyed and Ga were found to
contain one or more sanitary
defects. While only two had
water of unsatisfactory bac-
THEOLOGICAL quality and four
were doubtful, the survey en-
phasized that a archaeological
test means little when a SAM
tary defect exists, because
such a test indicates only the
quality of the water at the
time of sampling. Yet, if a
structural defect exists, the
possibility of future contami-
nation remains.
"The fact that 65 per cent
of the rural schools have SAM
tary defects in their water sys-
TENS indicates that consider
able action needs to be taken
by the various boards of edu-
cation if they are to fulfill
their responsibilities under the
law" the report said.
In proposing the metropoli-
tan water system, the report
pointed out that, although
Chicago's water supply is now
only Professionally certified,
the completion of the filtration
program will make possible
an adequate supply meeting
all the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice drinking water standards
to 143 municipalities in the
metropolitan area.
Regarding the existing wa
ter supplied in Cook County,
the report recommended that
the individual municipalities
fully assume their responsible
ties for providing a water sup
ply safe for drinking, and COL
lect at least the minimum num-
Der of archaeological water
samples per month as recon-
mended by the U. S. Public
Health Service drinking wa
ter standards.
It also recommended that
all Boards of Education assure
safe water supply to the chill
dren attending their respec-
tive schools, and that the Cook
County Board of Commission
ers enact rules and regulations
pertaining to the control of
water supplies in subdivisions
in the unincorporated areas of
Cook County.

CHICAGO METROPOLITAN
WATER SYSTEM URGED
COVERING 3 COUNTIES
CONTINUED from last issue.

"A metropolitan wafer SyS-
tenn to serve, besides Chicago,
143 municipalities in Cook,
Lake and Du Page counties
and adjacent communities in
Lake County, Ind, was propos-
ed today in report on Cook
County water supplies releas-
ed by the Advisory Commit
tee of the Chicago-Cook Coun-
ty Health Survey.
Such system is not only de-
sirable, but would provide a
more economical means of
safeguarding the public health
in these communities, most of
which are offering consumers
potentially unsafe drinking
water.
The danger of outbreaks of
water-borne disease is appar-
ent, and the report cited sew
eral nationwide epidemics Of
recent years, including the ty-
phoid fever outbreak at Man
teno State Hospital in 1889
which resulted in 453 cases of
typhoid fever and 60 deaths.
This epidemic was attribut-
ed to underground contami-
nation through creviced lime
stone" pOlluting the HOSPITALS
drilled we'll.
Only Is of the municipali-
ties are furnishing the mini
mum number of samples for
meteorological examination of
water, required by u. S. Public
Health Service standards.
Another health hazard cit
ed in the report is the fact that
Replacement of broken water
mains or the installation OF
new mains without disinfec-
ton is commonly practiced.'
Added to this was the observa-
ton that "few of the II NUM-
cipalities maintaining a public
water supply have personnel
competent by training or ex-
perience" to undertake an ade-
quate sanitary survey of the
systems.
Turning to rural water sup
plies, the report pointed out
that again most of the water
comes from the cracked and
creviced limestone formations
through private wells.
"The quality of this water
must be looked upon with sus-
picion and should be checked
for archaeological quality at
frequent intervals" the report
said. Although the estimated
rural population is 81, 485, the
daily number of persons drink
ing rural water supplies is aug
mented by an estimated 16l,-
900 persons who daily patron
ize or visit country clubs, for
est preserves, restaurants,
tourist and trailer camps, and
racetracks in the rural areas.
Eleven of 81 tourist and
trailer camps have water sup
plies which are not approved
by the State Department of
Public HEALTH.
Approximately 1000 new
wells for individual home use
have been constructed since
