It should not be assumed, be-
cause water levels are said to be
declining during any particular
month during several successive
months, that continuoing decline,
resulting in permanent loss of
ground water facilities, is to be ex-
pected.
Normally ground water levels
decline from about April through
October, depending to some extent
on amount and distribution of rain
fall during the period. From about
October to the following April the
ground water reservoirs are re-
charged, the amount of this re-
charge depending upon current
rain, soil condition and other fac
tors.
So many varied conditions af-
feet both rises from recharge and
seasonal decline that the interplay
between them, which controls cur
rent water levels and short term
trends, is extremely complex. But
given favorable conditions the wa
ter table has risen from lower lev
els than those at present. 1t is
entirely possible that the water

cause cattle to bunch together to
ward off the flies and thus the dis
charge from an infected eye can be
passed along either by the flies or
by direct contact. .. -.
The first symptom is a watery
discharge running down the face
of the animal from the corner of
the eye. The animal will squint and

red.
Infected animals should be iso-
lated in cool, darkened barn or
shed. Veterinary attention should
be provided to get the animals
back to good health and to prevent
spread to the rest of the herd.

cient methods of treatment than a

Ohio Water Level
Shows Normal Dip
For July Season

The monthly water report of
ONO Division of Water shows rain
1all in the state during the month
OF July nearly the same as in June.
This month, as in June, precipi-
tatlon came primarily in the form
Oh local thunderstorms. Some To-
calities received normal or above
normal rainfall while others rece-
lved little rainfall.
The southern part of the state
IN general reports much more rain
than does the northern. Dayton
had the greatest total for the
month and Toledo the least. Be-
cause of the high intensities of the
rains runoff was high during and
Immediately following the storms,
and the extreme heat during the
entire month caused high evapora-
ton and low soil moisture except
immediately following the storms.
July stream. flow compared with
that for June was higher in the
Scioto River and lower in Little
Beaver Creek in response to the
area distribution of rainfall noted
above. Stream flow at both index
stations was about one half of nor
NAL for the month, but flow at
both was above July of last year.
Little Beaver Creek last July
had 34% of normal flow as COM
pared with a 500 of normal in
July this year, and the Scioto Riv-
er had a $40 of normal flow last
July, as compared with a $3.50 Of
normal in July of this year
Thus far this year no water sup
ply reservoirs have been reported
to be critically low and most are
in better condition than a year ago.
Water levels, the Division re-
ports, in all index walls declined
during the month as is normal for
this season of the year In general
the declines this month were slight
( ly Jess than, in July last year, and
the July ground water levels this
year are generally higher than last
year because recharge was greater
this past spring than in 1853 or
1854. All indexe wells showed wa
ter levels lower than the year av-
erage.
In the past reports the Water
Division has at times referred to
declining water levels" This has
been misinterpreted by some peo-
pie as meaning that ground-water
levels in general are declining year
after year. The statements made in
this and all other reports refer
to the current situation and should
not be interpreted as indicating
long term trends unless so stated.

Office Workers
Have Low Injury
Rate Says Council

CHICAGO 49, About 25,0O0 office
workers suffer disabling injuries
each year, according TO the 1855
edition of Accident Facts" the

cal yearbook, just off the press.
Nondisabling injuries probably run
to hundreds Of thousands.
However, the injury rate for Of
flee workers is not high. Among
nearly 200 separate work classifi-
cations, injury rates for office
workers are among the lowest.
The Council said the injury to-
tai is large because there are so
many office workers about

Family Farms
Are Lauded by
Holy Father

VATICAN CITY = NC) -
Addressing $4,000 members of
the Italian independent farm.
ers' organization, His Holiness
Pope Plus XII praised family
farming as a sound basis of
the nations economy.
He counseled his hearers to
remain faithful to a vocation
which will always be particul.
arly exposed to risks, but
which for this very reason is
a model-at present not suffic
ient.y recognized - of human eff
/ fort"
The Pope said he was making
this recommendation "at a time
when, unfortunately, too many are
afraid to take personal risk and
seek security at the cost of inde
pendence."
/ The Holy Father drew a sharp
distinction between the desire fol-
prosperity, on the one hand, and
the striving for ever higher living
standards and productivity, on the
other.
i He said that the family repre-
sents in the economic field some-
thing that is lasting and that
ensures the weII.being Of future
generations.
1.-The plentitude of moderately
priced goods and the Tightening
toll of labor, taken alone, are
doubtful results" the Pope said
''They increase rather than lessen
anxiety for the future. since they
rouse disordinate desires and nev
er satisfy man."
The Pope praised the enormou:
growth of the farmers organiza
ton, which represents so per cent
of the nations agricultural produc
tion.

Preserve Unity,
Italians Urged
BY OsservatOre

VATICAN CITY - (NCl =
Osservatore Romano, Vatican
City newspaper, frontpaged a
long editorial urgently appeal
ing to Italian Catholics to pre-
serve the unity of their ranks,
because "the most sacred
things are at stake and are
menaced."
The editorial, headlined "One
Heart and One Soul" was prompt
ed by widely circulated reports of
split and organized revolt with
in the Christian Democratic Party
against Prime Minister Mario Scel.
ba and the party's general secre-
tary, Amintore Fanfani. The split
became obvious during the recent
election of President Giovanni
Gronchi. Many predict an early
governmental crisis leading to Pre-
mier Scelba's downfall and the for
nation of . leftist-oriented govern
ment.
The newspaper said it is obvious
that Catholic unity is so precious
and necessary that any schism or
threatened schism in Catholic
ranks strengthens the aspirations
of the communist world as to its
relations with the Catholic world
which they attempt to establish in
every possible way = aspirations
which, without that hoped-for
breach in Catholic unity, they could
not nouriSh even in their dreams. .
The osservsfore editorial open.
ed with an emphatic denial Of
communist assertions that fhe
Democratic Christian rebels
against Fanfani and SeeIhs are
"orgsnieally linked 10 certain cir.
eIes of the Roman curis THE
Vatican officesl" and that they
would not have dared take .
step so dangerous for the unity
of fhe Catholic party without
fhe ineitsment and protection OF
somebody high up"
Such allegations are completely
false" OSserUatore stated. 1t said
that far from melting or favoring
a revolt, Catholic leaders and the
responsible Catholic press have al
ready urged and protected Catho
lie unity in all fields of activity
It pointed out that Catholics are
not linked to certain circles of the
Curia, but Ito the Church. her
