Don't Befoul The
Streams .

Elder Walter Hughes calls atten-
ton to very bad practice that
goes on throughout this commun-
ity. That practice is the dumping
of garbage. especially tin cans,
into streams. People are eating
more out Of tin cans and paper
bags than ever before. They take
the LATEST way of getting rid OF
the trash, and SO they befoul the
streams.
This practice is bad in two
ways. It changes the natural
beauty of our creeks and brooks
into ugliness. And as surely as
filth breeds filth, the rubbish
heaps provide thriving places for
germs.
There is nothing more beauti-
full than a ee-flowing stream;
there is nothing uglier than one
clogged with cans, glass jars,
paper boxes and bags, and gen.
eral refuse. Nearly all people try
in some way or other to make
the insides of their homes better
looking. Even children do so with
their playhouses. Verify '.Man
does not live by bread alone; his
spirit requires Srstenance as
much as his body does. A, house
wife will clean the home n d
hang pictures on the wall; she
will grow flowers in the yard;
and then she will with trash
make an ugly mess of the stream
that flows before the home.
4
The cans and boxes clog the
streams and hold stagnant water.
In these spots germs breed and
thrive, and thus fill the air and
water with pollution. Rust ard
other products of unhealthy de-
cay contaminate the running wat
er and make it unfit for human
and animal uses.
Alter all, our streams are ma
tUral resources, without which
we would be poor indeed. 1t IS
only good sense to take care of
them with all the attention we
would give to personal property.
Much in the same line, we have
another word to say. When people
go along the rivers or into the
woodland shades this summer,
you will probably see a deal of
litter left by camping and pic
nicking parties. 1t is rather
strange that people go out to re-
lax in places of natural beauty
and then destroy the very thing
they sought. When this is done,
the doors simply show their ma
turally selfish natures. We all
know better. and surely we
should live up to the best we
know.

u. ). LET'S Down Bars
On importing Rubber;
Taft Opposes Move
BY the Assoeietsd Press

The Government has opened
the way for greater imports OF nat
ural rubber in 1850 as a means of
providing more dollars to other
countries, especially Britain.
1t announced yesterday a re-
duction for next year in the
amount Of United states-produced
synthetic rubber that American
Arms will be required to use in
making tires. inner tubes and so
forth.
The action. made public in a
statement issued here by Secre-
tary Of Commerce Sawyer. who is
on the West Coast, will free Amer
lean firms to buy approximately
$4,000 more tons of natural rub
ber-a strictly imported produce
next year than this year.
Incentive for them to do so
would be added by current prices
about 1875 cents pound for syn
thetic rubber. against about IT'S
cents for top-quality natural rub
ber.
The Sawyer statement noted
that the recent American-British-
Canadian financial and economic
discussions here had resulted in a
recommendation that the United
States take steps to increase i'm
ports Of natural rubber as one
means Of combating the problem
of other countries in selling the
United States as much goods as
they buy from this country-a
situation which is at the heart Of
