WHY SHOULD WE GO TO Sleep

Significant In the news of the week Is a publicized state
ment that Indignation forces are not likely to 60 TO sleep and
let their chances of forcing the issue pass. Apparently. the
superintendent of schools of Pulaski county special district
believes that federal aid looms and with IL unsegregated

Association Pushes Passage
Of Anti-PoIIution Measure

The Garrett County Conservation
association is among the sports
mems groups that is pushing for
the passage of a Water Pollution
Control Act that is before the Con-
gress.
Letters have been sent to Con-
gressmen by a number of the mem
bers and it was being urged that
others follow suit.
Quoting from an article in the
April issue of The American
Legion magazine are the following
paragraphs which are being sup
ported by the local association:
Pollution from our farms and
from our cities ruins the fishing in
most of our streams. More than
that, it threatens our health and
jeOpardizcs our national economy.
President Eisenhower acknoWl-
edged this when he gave his state
of the Union message to Congress
in January 1855. He said that we
need strengthened programs TO
combat the increasingly serious
pollution of our rivers and streams
But when the Water Pollution Con-
troll Act came before Congress in
its 1858 session, the law did not
pass. Selfish interests blocked it..
The existing Water Pollution Con-
trol Act expires this June. Unless
Congress acts on an anti-pollutiOn
law during its present session,
there will be no Federal control
whatsoever over pollution A letter
to your Congressman will remind
him that you know how important
such a law is to your fishing and to
your welfare.
One final WorG about fishing.
Remember, its a sport You don't
have to carry home heavy string
or TO have fun, and you can buy
fish at a market cheaper than you
can catch them yourself. The most
gain from fishing is get
ting outdoors and away from the
tensions of our fast-paced living.
Don't make it hard work. Have

The Chill of Indifference


To-day we stand at the cross

is on the United States of America
and China On ,this stage will be
resolved, either the eventual de-

or the complete enslavement and
ultimate liquidation of the Chris
tian world-the free world" With
a depth of understanding, Bishop

Chinese Communists, places in
focus for all to see the continuing
war for the minds of men,
In the past, when the enemy was
recognizable, the problem Of de-
Tending our heritage-liberty, JUS

easily met. Not so today, for with
in our borders and oft-times in
high places, the enemy has been
found-and even more frequently,
we are unable to see him,
