Father's Day was yesterday and as the APPS Editorial says: "If the Nations mothers are to have their day, the fath- CTS certainly rate one also".
 Young men coming into the service-- many of them leaving home for the first time -- soon realize that the absence of dad's counsel and coradeship leave a big hole in their lives, hole that even letters from him can't fill. No fatherly cPO, no Division Officer, can make up in understanding and paternal advice for the real thing.'
 But separation from Dad for the first time has made many of us realize that when he took us to task about some thing or denied a request, he knew what he was talking about. He was speaking from ex- perience that we 1acked--and there's nothing like Navy life, meeting all types of people, seeing far-off places, doing unaccus toned things, to give man crash-course in the experience of living.
 Mark Twain put it neatly: "When was boy of l4", he said, "my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 2l, I was astoni shed at how much he had learned in seven years."

Company Loses
1-Inch Accident,
81 300 Claim

The case of a 12-foot 3-inch
high tree limb and a 12-foot
4-inch high trailer truck oc-
cupied the Municipal Court of
Appeals in an opinion today.
The accident, the appeals
court said, occurred in June,
1859, when the truck, blocked
by a stalled car, turned into
the curb lane on Wisconsin
avenue NV.
The driver, an employe of
Norton & Co.. Inc, l27 Madi-
son street. Alexandria. said he
heard a scraping noise and
realized he had struck the
overhanging limb.
The company sued the Dis
trict for 1900 for damages to
the trailer-and lost.
Municipal Court Judge Mil
dred E. Reeves said care of the
tree was government function
which made the District i'm
mune from liability.
She also said the driver was
negligent. The appeals court,
bypassing the immunity ques-
ton, said there was sufficient
evidence for Judge Reeves to
find the driver negligent.
THE overhanging limb was
in clear view and to a careful
observer it was obvious the
clearance, if any was scant."

WAR GAMES

DR.. Moynihan has OBJ

lands green honeycreepers,
common jungle birds. One
bird will dive at the other,
who flees. No blows are
struck. Then the two birds
may exchange roles and the
retreater becomes the at
tacker.
But when honeycreepers
are kept in a cage, one bird
usually kills the other in a
short time, possible because
the cage does not permit
them to disSipate their
hostility in play.

THAT is DIFFICULT

THAT is DIFFICULT to
determine, Mr.. MacGowan
said. The Districts water
comes from the Potomac. 1t
is free for the tapping. But
natural water is a raw material
to be processed. 1t must be
filtered and chlorinated to
reduce bacteria. Alum and
flourine are added. District
water costs about 81 a thou
sand gallons. But that is the
delivered price-at the faucet.
1t is estimated that a plant
80 times the size of the one
at Freeport would produce at
the rate of about so cents
per 1000 gallons. But it may
be that the lowest cost pro-
cess will be the freezing of
seawater. That is not as simple
as it sounds. For some of the
product water must be used
to wash the ice crystals. Salt
has a way of clinging to them.
In this process there is SIM
liar ingenuity in trying for
optimum use of the refriger-
ant. The brine, which re-
fuses to freeze, becomes quite
cold-below 80 degrees. 1t is
piped alongside the incoming
Seawater before it gets to the
freezing chamber.

desk, have a drink. This is

ment that the flow of traffic
from the toll lanes to the
bridge and across the bridge
would be Speeded up consider
ably if it's passage were limited
to two lanes" he said.
However the users of
the facility seem convinced that
the cause of any back-up rests
with the toll collection"
Mr.. ODonnell's comments
were in answer to a letter from
State Controller Louis l.
Goldstein, who suggested the
week end traffic jams at the
bridge could be reduced either
by adding toll booths or by
building a second bay bridge
farther south.
Mr.. ODonnell said the feast
bility of a second crossing is
under study.

THE CONVERSION

THE CONVERSION of
brackish water is even more of
a problem than seawater. It
is being tackled in many parts
of the world, in Japan, South
Africa, Algeria, Israel and
Bahrein on the Persian Gulf.
Some minerals, especially
iron, have a way of staying in
the water through their con-
version into steam and con-
densation back into water in
the diStilling process. That's
why electrodialysis is used.
This characterization is of
first Importance to agriculture,
to the irrigation of the des-
ert. Man and animals will
get by on brackiSh water that
will stunt or kill plant life.
The description of the oper-
alton of the Freeport plant in
the Associated Press report
of its opening was not one
that would satisfy an avid
reader of Popular Mechanics.
But one realized why. when
Mr.. MacGowan put before a
light a colored transparency
that showed the course of the
water in and out. BaSically
the process is a single distal-
lation, but it is both ingenious
and complex due to the effort
to obtain optimum utilization
of the heat.
For instance, the water just
condensed from steam, which
is quite hot, is piped along
side the incoming sea water to
warm it so that it will take
less heat in the boiler chamber
to turn it into steam.
The heat is obtained from
the neighboring Dow Chemical
Plant. The fuel is gas. The
Dow Co. buys half the product
water. The other half is pur-
chased by the city of Free
port.
The plant produces at a
cost of 81 per thousand gal
Ions.
What does natural fresh
water cost?
