Seward seaport record. (Seward, Alaska) 1948-195?, 1950-09-29

er's opinion of us, professional
health workers are trained not
to get excited. The fact that
Stewards public water supply
fails to meet any of the criteria
OF a satisfactory water supply
does not excite us at all. In
fact, we are rather bored with
the whole thing. Seward is not
the only town in Alaska where
we hear the old routine which
goes roughly: "Well, son, I've
used this water for thirty-five
years now and it hasn't hurt
me yet" Another popular varia-
ton is the II about the water
in Anchorage. Actually, the
water in Anchorage is much
safer than the water in Seward.
At any rate, | have never seen
the water in Anchorage as dirty
as the water was here a couple
of weeks ago. Another thing
about Anchorage is that the con-
ditions which prevailed in 1915
are never held up as the ideal
public service. However, all this
is beside the point mention
these things only to show that
we know about conditions pre-
vailing in the Territory and are
not overweight about any Of
them.
Il am sure the readers of the
Cradle Rocker cannot think that
we have tried to alarm them.
We have said only, "The water
may be contaminated with bac-
terra from your neighbor's cess
pool" A simple statement of
fact. What can be so alarming
about it? I know that some of
the people. of Seward are back
ward looking but surely every
one must know by now that dis
eases are caused by germs and
that even nice people have them.

The
G.adGe Roe9e.
BY Mildred Kirkpatrick

1t gives me great pleasure
to print the following letter
from Mr.. william Deering, De-
partment of Health Sanitarian.
He was kind enough to ask first
if he might make a rebuttal to
my article of Sept. %. I agreed,
fully expecting it to be a singer,
which it is!
I'm last Fridays Cradle Rocker
it was reported that the Alaska
Department of Health had is
sued another warning advising
people to boil their drinking
water. Actually, what really
happened was that instead of
issuing a new report, the Health
Department repeated its advice
of early last summer. AS far
as l know, the Alaska Depart
ment of Health has never indi-
Gated that it was safe to stop
boiling water.
However, we are not excited
about the situation. Nor, do we
think that we have caused a
great deal of hysteria. From time
to time we have seen a few
cases of what appeared to be
hysteria among the minority
who followed the advice in the
Cradle Rocker and became so
alarmed about the situation that
they medicated their drinking
water with too much bourbon.
No harmful results have been
reported from drinking over
boiled or over-chlorinated water.
Contrary to the Cradle Rock

terms with the water company,
and feeling that their selling
price of $500, 900 was too high
for a worn out system, had no
recourse but to throw the whole
thing into court. A complaint
has been filed and the case will
be in Judge Dimond's court next
month.
We cannot force the water
company to put in a purifying
system, even the Department of
Health has not that authority.
We know perfectly well that
when a new system, owned by
the city, is installed, it will in
clude a filter and publication
system. That time is at least
a year off if not longer.
In the meantime, Mr.. Deering
is not mad at me nor with the
city administration. He knows
what the situation is, and it is
up to every individual to protect
himself or not, according to Mr..
behring's advice.

Catholic Information
Paging Mr.. John Dillinger!

John Dillinger is dead! Public
Enemy Nc. l in an era when
gangsterism was at its height
murderer, robber, perpetrator
of many hell-deserving sins -
was shot down in the act of
drawing his gun and died with
out regaining consciousness!
Hell-deserving sins, surely, yet
no Catholic would dare to state
that the soul of this arch
criminal is still now in hell. No
mortal can tell whether or not
Dillinger was mentally respon-
sible, nor whether in his dying
gasp he did not plead with God
for mercy and forgiveness.
But" it has been asked,
John Dillinger was not a Cath
Ollie, and sinful or sinless, does
not your Church state that out
side it's fold there is no saliva
tiOn?"
But these words are only a
part of the story and, thus iso-
lated, they give an entirely
false meaning to our doctrine.
Let us explain.
Christ founded one true
Church-a visible body to pre-
serve and teach His Word in
fallibly to all men of all cen
turtles. For him who, recognizing
this Church as Christ's one true
Church, yet remains without its
fold, there is not-and in all
justice should not be-salvation.
But for those who lived before
the time of Christ-for those
today who have never heard of
the Catholic Church-for count
less others who in conscience
cannot embrace Catholicism
well, let us finish with the words
of Pope Plus TX Q846-78). He
Seward seaport record. (Seward, Alaska) 1948-195?, 1950-09-29

It may be that Seward is such
a neighborly place that the peo-
pie don't care to offend their
neighbors by boiling the water.
l gathered from the Cradle
Rocker that a few germs from
the cess pool next door are
nothing to worry about - the
best thing to do is drink 'em
and keep quiet about it. No
thank you'll never touch the
stuff.
81 am not an archaeologist
so 1 can't say for how long the
people have been drinking out
of the Yukon and Kuskokwim
Rivers and various tundra pools.
l imagine, however, that it has
been longer than 35 years. Let
us say about 500 years of using
the same water without a single
death from it. Yet, in the past
six years there have been a
dozen deaths from that water
which served so we'll for 500
years. There seems to be a flaw
in SOMEONE'S logic.
admittedly, there is not
much that can be done about the
water right now - that is,
nothing but protecting your
selves by boiling it. But unless
some one keeps hammering
away it may be that nothing will
ever get done. Do you know
that lack of proper plumbing
and safe water will probably
be reason for prohibiting ships
from watering here. Do you
know that lack of a safe water
supply will probably hold up a
housing development planned
for this area? Do you know that
if you add Seward water to
bourbon that you are running
good bourbon? And, do you
know that l am not being faci-
tious when I say that l am trying
to high pressure the people of
Seward to demand that some
one furnish them with safe and
satisfactory water supply and
that in the meantime it's worth
the effort to boil water"
AS l stated at first-I am
tickled pink to know that SOME
BODY reads this column. There
is nothing like a good argument
to stimulate interest in a pro-
ject. l do feel, however, that
the first article must have failed
to get across the main point
that even though our water sys-
tenn gets contaminated, we are
not blind to the situation and to
the danger, but until the condi-
ton can be remedied, let's don't
get excited. If you have chill
dren or you feel safer, then do
as he says and boil your drink
ing water. After all, it is foolish
not to be absolutely safe at all
times. We can't get away from
the fact that contamination has
been found at various times.
The city, unable to come to
Seward seaport record. (Seward, Alaska) 1948-195?, 1950-09-29

says:
"It is known to us and to
you that those who are in in
vincible ignorance of our most
holy religion (Which merely
means those who do not, through
no fault of their own, know the
Catholic Church as the true
Church of Jesus Christi, but
who observe carefully the ma
tural law and the precepts
craven by God upon the hearts
of all men, and who being dis
posed to obey God, lead an
honest and upright life, may,
aided by the light of divine
grace attain to eternal life; for
God who sees clearly, searches
and knows the heart, the dis
position, the thoughts and in
tentions of each, in His supreme
mercy and goodness by no
means permits that anyone suf-
fer eternal punishment who has
not of his own free will fallen
into sim"
However, it must be under
stood that this doctrine does
not hold guiltless, any man who,
being convinced that he has not
religious truth, refuses to seek
it for fear that the finding
thereof would be to his worldly
disadvantage. That's why the
"invincible"-which means, in
this context, not culpable-is
put in before the ignorance"
If it's anything Catholic. ask a
Catholic!

Parents Are Making Student Snob
By Denying Selves All to Aid Him
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

what is happening to him.
Bob is from the Middle West

education is apparently not what
his parents want him to have.
They want him to rise in the

So they have sent him to what
is supposed to be a very fashion

his own. Many Of his fraternity's
members, boys from well-to-do
families, do not have cars. But
Bob must be better. So he has

He can't afford 1t. Neither can
his parents, who are paying all
his bills. But they are determined
that their son must be a little
better than anybody else. They
have no car. The father travels
