AIR AND WATER POLLUTION

Too much attention cannot be given
to steps to prevent the pollution of the air
and water of the nation by industry.
While there are some commendable ac-
complishments against pollution, the
general opinion is that control will cost
more than industry can spend.
We should not overlook the expert
ence of Donora, Pennsylvania, where twen-
ty persons lost their lives and 500 became
i'll in heavy, poisonous, smoke-laden fog.
This should be warning to Monroe COun-
ty of the possible perils of polluted air.
1t is we'll known practice of indus
try to pollute streams and waterways by
using them as a receptacle for the wastes
of chemical processes. The extent of the
pollution of streams is not always recog-
nized. The St Louis Post-Dispatch says
that 875 miles of streams in Missouri
have been poisoned and constitute biOlog-
ical deserts, with fish dead and water UNI
fit for cattle to drink.
Industries often inject into the air
fumes, vapors and gases that are objec-
tionable even when not absolutely dan
gerous. This practice has reached such
an extent that there are many citizens on
guard lest the advent of a new industry
brings with it disagreeable, dangerous and
costly pollution of the air.

MONOGRAPH
MoscoW'S PROPAGANDA

The recognition of Communist China
by Great Britain Immediately produced
demands in the United States that this
country reduce it's assistance to the Brit
ism because of their failure to do as we
do in regard to recognizing the Com
nnnist government in China.
The implication behind such demands
il that our economic assistance program
Il intended TO require other countries to
accept the leadership of the United States
in their foreign relations and that, if they
40 not. we will punish them by withdraw
: ing the aid
This is exactly what the Russians have
been telling everybody in Europe. Stain
and his propagandists have been assert
ing that the Marshall plan was designed
20 control European nations and to make
them subservient to the United States.
To "punish" the British for their indie
pendent diplomatic course would be to
prove the correctness of the Moscow as
sertion that the real purpose of the re-
cOvery plan is the domination of Eu-
rope.
The United States has insisted that it's
economic recovery plan was, and is, with
out hidden strings and Interior motives.
The European countries have accepted
this declaration at its face value. 1t has
remained for Americans, some in Con-
gress. TO intimate that our declarations
were sham and that indeed, those who
get our help must become our puppets

KILLER HAD PREVIOUS RECORD

A drunken gunman recently held up
roadside cafe in Massachusetts, shot to
death an investigating police chief and a
girl patron and wounded two others.
Such incidents happen with alarming
regularity throughout the country. 1t is
interesting 10 note that the gunman had
been a mental patient in hospital in 1912
and that police said he had record dat
ing back 10 1886. II included breaking
and entering and larceny assault and
battery. speeding and unlawful posses
sion of weapons.
The commission of crimes by those
who have had previous police records

of us that society should take steps to
protect itself against those with criminal

established as a chronic lawbreaker, it is

TREND TO WARMER WEATHER.

Nearly everybody in Monroe Coun-
II has heard an older person assert enat
the winters are not as cold as they were
and most of us have engaged in discus
s;ons which ranged around the general
80 +ho+ the climate of Monroe County
is getting warmer.
The oldtimers. who tell of the cold
winters of their childhood, nave Deen
confronted with assertions that tney re-
n,ember the severe weather and forget
the pleasant DAYS. Some have insisted that
houses are better built today, that the peo-
ME live indoors more than formerly and
that. consequently, what seems like warm
er weather is merely the naturai reactlon
to changed conditions.
The expert weatherman, however, Is
not so sure about the matter ana some OIL
them admit that the oldtimers may be
right. Just now, there is some amaZement
II, expert circles over the temperatures
above normal that have been experienced
in the Eastern part of the United States
since March, 1948. Some of them, such as
Jerome Namias, head of Extended Fore
cast Section of the u. S. Weather Bureau,
admit that there has been definite tltty-
year trend towards slightly warmer wealth
er over many areas of the Northern Heml-
sphere.
1t is quite possible, as some meteoro-
logists believe, that we are in period of
climatic amelioration' with tempera-
lures moving upward. Nearly everybody
realizes that the earth absorbs its heat
from the rays of the sun and that there is
variation in the absorption due to changes
on the sum- Obviously, if, for some reason,
the earth retained a greater amount of its
absorbed heat than usual, the temperature
of the surface would move upward.
That something like this has happen
ed is the opinion of G. S. Calendar, an
English meteorologist, who says that a
slight increase in carbon dioXide in the
air tends to prevent outgoing radiation"
of the suns heat and that the globe re-
tains more heat just like a dollhouse abb
serbs and retains heat from the sun.
Whether this is correct, or not, there are
other theories, such as the belief that,
for some reason, more of the warmer air
from the oceans is moving over the con-
tinents.
Regardless of the decision of the ex-
perts there seems to be no doubt of the
abnormally high temperatures since
March, 1913. Certainly, in the Eastern
part of the United States, there have
been higher-than-normal temperatures
during the last two winters and the same
conditions seems to be obtained so far as
the present winter has developed.
No one knows whether the present
trend will continue or not. Mr.. Namias
says that there has been an abnormal
containment of cold polar air over Alas
kan Yukon and Northern Canada. While
reports show temperatures far below
zero, he explains, This cold air is pretty
generally trapped by the exceptionally
high speed of the prevailing westerly
winds" He expresses the opinion, how
ever that the cold air may build up and
break through in time to give us some
colder weather in the weeks ahead.

Fugi+ive's S Long {
Trek To Hills
Proves Futile

Edward Johnson, So, fugitive
from the London Prison Farm,
found little sanctuary in the hill
country in the Crabtree Hollow
area, near Ironton recently. He
found two Ross County deputies
waiting for him in the brush.
Acting on tip johnson might
be in that area, Chief Deputy
Sheriff Fred Heinzelman and De-
putty Clinton Clayton went to
Ironton and enlisted the services
of a Lawrence County deputy
sheriff.
The three deputies went to the
home of William Hammer, in an
isolated hill section.
Knowing Johnson would take
to the woods if he got the chance,
the Ross County deputies posted
themselves in the woods back of
the house before the Lawrence
County deputy approached john
son, who was sitting at the side
of a cabin.
Johnson denied his identity and
entered the house, then glanced
up toward the woods and sighted
the other deputies. The arrest was
made without further incident.
Johnson, who had been sent to
the Ohio penitentiary under a one
to Is year term for breaking and
entering the Estell and Pleasant
Valley churches, in Ross County,
walked away from the London
prison honor dormitory on July
IS, when assigned to the job of
hitching mule teams used on the
farm.
He told deputies that he had
required two days to make his
way, by woodlands, to Pleasant
Valley, where he hoped a b. & o.
freight train to Chillicothe There,
he boarded an N. & w. train and
stopped in Portsmouth, then
hitch-hiked to Ironton, thence
made his way to the home of
Hammer, a second cousin.
London prison farm officials re-
turned him to the farm. They
stated that some two years will be
added to his sentence making the
minimum Imprisonment now be-
hind the walls not less than three
years under good behavior rules.
When he is released he will pro-
badly be taken in by PickaWay
County officials, since he is want
ed in that county on a charge
of theft of wire, which was
later recovered by Ross County
officials from a farm at Denver.

the Greenland community, is now

LOOK AT GROUND COLOR
WHEN BUYING PEACHES


When shopping for peaches re-
member that the lovely red blush
doent necessarily mean that the
peach is ripe. But fruit specialists
ut Ohio State University say that
color is a first-rate guide in Sc
lecting peaches.
Peaches that have a yellow
ground color are the ones to buy.
Peaches that have reached this
stage before picking will con-
tinue to ripen. They will develop
the natural, delicious flavors and
soft textures that make them a
fayorite fruit.
On the other hand peaches
that havefa green OF faded gray
ish-green Ground color have been
picked too soon. They will be
tough and rubbery in texture. and
insipid in flavor.
