MINING FRESH WATER
In view of the projected increase
in population and greater per cap
ita use. the cost of fresh water
and soft drinks" will increase!
To help with this problem the first
step might be for cities to build a
separate plant to distribute only
salt water. Thus each house and
industry would have two water
bills to pay. Unless there is a
World War III, homes and fac
tories with successful driven wells
will be in demand, as will those
bordering non-polluted rivers.

to World War III concerns the
danger from fall out" when us
ing water from streams, lakes,
and uncovered reservoirs.
Driver wells, moreover, are
wholly dependent upon electricity
for pumping. Hence, as a part OF
any shelters" such as the Civil
Defense agencies are recommend
ing. there should be included full
~ charged storage batteries along
with the food and other needed
supplies. Fresh water may be
shipped by tank cars or great
pipes, or the fresh water may be
frozen and shipped as frozen food
is now shipped. The purpose of
this column now is to get readers
thinking about what an economic
revolution is ahead based upon
a scarcity of fresh water.

Dear Friends:
Four or six years, however long

we want to do here in Virginia and

Hayes leaves here each week

later is at his desk by eight. Then
in the evening he usually leaves
his office at five and isn't home
until around six, depending on the
traffic coming south. His day is
completely consumed after a visit
with us and a late dinner. This
leaves Saturday and Sunday only
for Hayes and his hobbies envelope

WHEN BUYING A HOME

When | was a boy most homes
had brick cisterns in their cell
lars. These were kept filled by
the rain which fell upon the roofs.
People who could not afford els
terms went to the town pump
twice a day to fill their pitchers
and pals. Each community would
have several of these town
pumps for the convenience of the
people Sources of diphtheria, ty-
phoid, and other diseases were
traced to these public pumps, =
leading to the installation of city
water systems and later to mu-
nicipal sewerage. l have a grand
daughter who lives at ST. Thomas,
one of the Virgin Islands. She has
a cistern. but there is no rain to
fill it. She drinks and uses wa
ter shipped by boat from Puerto
Rico.
Therefore. l urge my readers to
consider the fresh water problem
when locating their home. Select
a state and city which has a good
supply OF fresh water. If poss-
ible. have house which borders
an unpolluted running stream or
river. Such location today is
worth a premium over inland To-
cations. Look ahead and specu-
late on the information given in
this column. You can make mon
need to sell. If you wish to spec
ulate. buy some such land-well
drained-along with life insur-
ance and good stocks. Man can al
ways build more houses and de-
velop more subdivisions: but only
God can make more natural fresh

THE GREAT DOUBLE-CROSS

Officially speaking, the permanent cell
ing on the national debt is set at 1888 bill
lion. But this has very small practical sig
nificance Congress, because of almost con-
slant deficits in recent years, has voted for
temporary increases. The current boost
of this nature will allow debt of S298 bill
lion.
The Congress has annually INDUCED in
the fiction of temporarily increasing the
permanent debt ceiling. Experience has
proved that nothing is more permanent than
temporary tax or temporary" in
crease in the debt ceiling.
What's the answer? So far as temper
ary' taxes are concerned it lies in a con-
certed public demand that they be abandon
ed on schedule. So far as the debt is con-
cerned, it lies in drastic cuts in all non-es-
senial neutrality-suspicious. that of the
welfare state variety-that will make pOss-
ibe gradual debt reduction, along with a
full stop to allegedy temporary" increases.
The temporary" racket has become the
greatest double-cross of American citizens
in history.

LABOR DAY

The Labor Day holiday is here and many
of the citizens taking that last weekend
summer vacation or just getting the family
away for day in the country will be jam
ming the streets and highways with auto
mobiles. The possibilities of traffic acct
dents are far greater when more vehicles
and people are travelling on the roads. There
fore, everyone should exert every effort to
drive and walk with extreme care Excess
i've speed, running stop signs and other ma
jor traffic violation will result in bad traffic
accidents. Fatigue will play its part after
drivers have spent their time playing in the
sun and fresh air. The tired and sleepy
driver cannot meet the constant changing
traffic pattern involved in travelling cOnsid-
cradle distances. InattentiOn, distraction,
and just plain mind wandering is flirting
with death when INDUCED in behind the
wheel of hundreds of pounds of hurtling
metal One of the most tragic aspects of
holiday traffic deaths is the fact that prac-
tically every one of the accidents could have
been avoided. In each case little more lee
way for possible trouble, little more con-
sideration, little more sober sensible driv-
ing, could prevent accidents. Stay out OF
headlines this weekend by using the extra
care and caution you know is needed to drive
safely on the highways. We can all help re-
move death and injuries from the holiday
celebration, if every person who sets foot on
the streets or puts his foot on the accelera-
tor of gar would adopt one simple rule it
could help reduce the death and injury toll
in our state The rule to remember is this
always be alert when driving and walking.
Remember it is better to get home late than
never get home at all.
