Water Problem
Being Explored
BY Science Aids

President Eisenhower's warning
that water is rapidly becoming the
nations most critical natural re-
source points up the habitual
shortages of fresh water in many
parts of the United States.
Water, the lifeblood of all living
things, is also the lifeblood of in
dustry. The production of ton of
finished steel. for example, re-
quireS $1,000 gallons.
AS the nation grows. says the
National Geographic Society. it
gulpS down water in ever-increas-
inc quantities. The current de-
nand for public use. industry and
Ti9atiOn totals an estimated 200
billion gallons a day or $4,000 bill
lon gallons a year.
Falling water tables and squab-
bles over water rights have plagued
the West and Southwest for years.
More recently, lingering droughts
have Siphoned off wells, ponds and
streams in the South. Summer
time rationing is becoming COM
mon in Eastern cities.
PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTION
Nature, however. is not ration
ing rain. The Nations total rain
fall continues to average 80 inches
year - a Superabundance of l.
$4,000 billion gallons. The basic
problem is distribution.
The Herculean task of replen-
iShing water in arid zones or cities
where demand is outreaching sup
ply is being approached in several
ways: conservation measures such
as antipollution and reuse of wa
ter, helping nature to increase sup
plies in areas of scarcity, and con-
version of fresh water from the
sea. Some methods are old, others
new and visionary.
Interior Secretary Douglas Nc
Kay says economical conversion of
sea water and reclamation of con-
taminated water offer two Of the
most promising fields for research.
Several large diStillation units
are actually operating at oil refin-
cries in remote. sun-baked spots.
The largest of these, on the Per-
sian Gulf, supplies 100000 gallons
a day for the Kuwait Oil Com
pany.
Unlimited sweet water from the
salty sea is an age-old dream. But
present diStillation systems are
still too costly for general use, the
Rand Corporation found in re-
cent survey. Depending on the pro-
cess, the cost is $3.50 to $1,000 per
acre foot compared to $3.50 to $50
for natural fresh water in the
United States.
UNDERGROUND RESERVOIRS
Known principles Of laundering
sewage may eventually provide in
dustry and agriculture with usable
water, and science is looking for
an economical way to treat indus
trial wastes.
Part of the Nations supply flows
in vast underground reservoirs. In
some localities, ground water is

Pfc. John Ross Spends
Weeks Leave In Tokyo

TOKYO - PFC John M. Ross,
21, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
L. Ross, Route 4, Lincolnton, N.
c., recently spent a weeks leave
in Tokyo from his unit in Korea.
Tokyo is Japan's largest me-
trOpOlitan area and one of the
largest cities in the world.
Ross, a clerk with the 7th In
fantry Divisions 7th quarter
master Company, entered the
Army in April 1858 and completed
basic training at Fort Lee, Va.
The 1851 Lincolnton High
School graduate arrived overseas
last July.

from the COP standpoint. Be-
cause of vast surpluseS on hand
and a sharp shrinkage in world
markets. there appears little
chance of improvement in return
from this crop during the next
several years. In fact, wheat low
Ell prices.
Yet, looking at the wheat situa-
ton from the political angle. Re-
publican majoritieS are almost al
ways the rule in such important
producing states as Kansas, Ne
braska, North and South Dakota.
Prospects point to fairly stable
conditions for cotton, peanuts and
tobacco-but Republicans cannot
count very much on votes from
growers of these cropS-produced
as they are in the normally Demo-
cratic South.

Employment Not
Hurt BY IS Cents
Wage Minimum

RALEIGH - The increase in the
federal minimum wage from 40 to
rs cents an hour in January, 1850
had only minor effects on employ
ment, according to a US. Depart
ment of Labor report received here
recently.
Entitled "Results of the Mini
mum Wage Increase of 1885," the
report is based on studies of a
number of industries ana firms
which were. for the most part, low
wage businesses. Included were
five low wage manufacturing in
duStries - Southern saWmilling,
fertilizer, mems dress shirts and
nightWear, mems seamless hosiery
and wood furniture.
In these five industries, the re-
port shows, the 75-cent rate had
no significant effects on employ
ment. Results of special investiga-
tions made of all complaints or re-
ports of plant shutdoWns, curtail-
ments. or other adjustment prob
lens allegedly caused by the high
er minimum wage are included in
the report.

On King Ranch in Texas, a l.
500-acre lake was built for a re-

fills, the water will be pumped
down a deep well into a natural
reservoir that supplies hundreds of

EVAPORATION LOSSES

Plant life, like man and indus
try is a greedy consumer of water.
More than 70 percent of the Ma
tions rainfall is used by plants or
breathed back into the atmosphere.
To conserve local supplies, some
experts favor the removal of pro-
fuse, undesirable plants such as
the thirsty, long-rooted salt pine.
Evaporation robs open storage
lakes, reservoirs and distribution
canals of perhaps half their water.
The rate, of course. varies with
humidity. Oil layers or buoyant
insulation covers might save mil
lions of gallons.
