DON'T WASTE WATER

DONA Wal En-
RAIN WATER should never be wasted, not in this island.
HROUG THE years practically all our citizens have
learned the value Of drinking water; that the rain falls more
at one season than another, and that certainly a dry spell will
come during the year, great care should be taken to conserve
the little we have. 1t should be stretched as far and as long as
possible, At one time it would have seemed entirely unneces-
sary to make public comments of this nature, but the present
attitude of some t~houghtless citizens compels a word of
caution.
IN AN EFFORT to meet the need, particularly of dis
tribution, the Public Works Department has carried out a
good plan OF installing pipes in many sections of the town.
This makes it convenient for most people to reach the water.
But somehow, with imprudence and utter thoughtlessness,
some people promptly proceed to waste the valuable water.
Some go so far as to leave the faucets open, others take the
opportunity to drive up cars and trucks for washing. Of
course, an owner of a vehicle wants to keep it in good condi-
ton, but there is no comparison between the spic and span
look of a car and the gnawing desire for drinking water when
there is none available.
ERHAP THE day will come when our people will be
able to use all the water they want in as many ways as they
can think OF, but that day has not come. For the present we
must make good use of what we have, keeping in mind that
the available supply of potable water may see us through if
used properly.
1T is that greater care be exercised in the use
of this water. The great public works program for which mil
lions were appropriated was supposed to contain plans to
meet just such a need. However, so far as we can see there
is little in sight for a relieved situation. Water is vital, and
everyone knows it. When the plans are completed for our
extensive water system, then we can use water with greater
abandon, and care less. But for the present, while conditions
are as they are, then a plea is in order for t~houghtless people
to use greater care and be more c~onsiderate Of their fellow
citizens who also need water.

Sir Gladwyn Jebb said he
thinks it wise to give the Chin
csc one more chance to accept
the proposals then if they re

The President said he had
