WATER
BY PAUL SIMMONS
Associated Press Stan Writer

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. l2-The
South, with heavy but capri
cious rainfall, has water prob
lens in both traditional and
modern patterns. Aggravating
each are new demands for con-
slant, dependable water sup
plies as new industries move in
and old cities spread out.
Northward along the East
ern seaboard, there are few
problems today but the threat
Of future shortage as popula-
tions boom in the defense belt
Of coastal cities from Delaware
to Connecticut.
The traditional troubles in
the South range from lowland
floods in spring to blistering
drought in late summer. Among
new worries are a dangerously
threatening drop in under
ground water level at a few in
land locations and salt water
seepage in fresh water supplies
of some seaside cities, a prob
lem which also occurs at some
spots farther north.
Mental Torture As Well
Southern summer drought
can bring mental torture as well
as heavy economic loss. In 1854,
after a third straight crop
failure, a Georgia farmer killed
himself with a shotgun. Crop
losses that year in Southeastern
States ran in the hundreds Of
million dollars.
No rain fell for weeks.
Chickens died of heat. Corn
died in the tassel. Streams dried
up or fell to unbelievably low
levels. Wells went dry. Many
communities faced the specter
of a water famine.
M. T. Thomson, United States
geological survey engineer, says
the hardship and damage need
not have been so severe. He en-
phasizes that the overall prob
lem for the South is not one of
water shortage, since annual
rainfall averages nearly SO
inches. It is a matter of will
and know-how to control, con-
serve and use the ample total
supply.
The South has made progress
in this direction and can point
to a great array of public and
private dams patterned after
those of the Tennessee Valley
Authority providing power,
water supplies, flood control and
recreation.
The problem for water con-
servationists is public apathy
during periods of good rainfall.
Everybody is enthusiastic about
plans for a new reservoir during
a drought, but when the emer-
gency passes so does the enthu-
SiaSrn.
Seepage Is Hazard
Another hazard to commu-
nifty water supplies in some
spots along the Atlantic and
Gulf Coasts is salt water
seepage into fresh water wells
when consumption surges to
high levels. j. T. Callahan Of
the Geological Surveys ground
water branch says this can be
overcome with artesian wells
or supplies from uncontami-
mated areas nearby.
He says artesian water, ac-
cumulated over the ages and
beyond the reach Of any
drought, is available in abun-
dance in the coastal plain
areas, which take in most of
Florida and sizable strips of
other States.
Only in a few places inland.

Cable Eater Troubling FAA In Alaska

Add to the maintenance and communications problems of the Federal Aviation Agency in Alas ka the "brown-haired, long-nosed Yakutat Cable Eater
 The Cable Eater Gbrown bear), inhabits the southeast coastal areas of Southeast Alaska near Yakutat, where the FAA has more than it's due of difficulty in getting good and adequate communica- tions with Seattle over the gla- ciers, mountains and fjords that make up the rugged coast line. He's good animal for hunting, and tourists squeal with delight when they can see him, but his new fondness for the black, chevy insulation used for splicing cable has cause two serious interrup- tions to vital airways service recently.
 It took Clarence L. Moddison, FAA trouble shooter, several hours of exploration to find the trouble in the first case. He used Wheatstone bridges, M urray Loops, Tone sets and a lot of scientific whatnot and finally es- timated the trouble was 4,000 feet from the station at point where there was splice above ground, while most of the cable was under Is inches of frozen ground covered by four to five feet of snow. Bear tracks and teeth marks in the jute and tar sheathing were un- scientific indications of the trouble. The Cable Eater had chewed on the sheathing and had mashed wires and insulation to- gether until he had caused com- plete failure.
 II figure he missed a surprising 2400-volt shock by about 3/16 of an inch," Moddison wrote in his report.
