Page 2-C Letter To The Editor I am writing this letter in response to the article that appeared in Public Parade last week concerning C F Industries. I am referring to the article about the algae growth in Chowan River and the complaints that have arisen from the public concerning this matter. I agree there is plenty of room for complaint but there is one other thing I would like to make clear. It seems that the general public is trying to link every state employee who works around the state with this problem and are insinuating that they are in some way responsible for letting something of this nature happen. I would like to set the record straight and say that this is just absolutely not true. I know for a fact that the seepage at C F Industries has been reported repeatedly to Water Quality Control on numerous occasions. This is the extent of what some of us can do - report it to those responsible for enforcing such matters as this and then it is up to that department to handle it. If you check into this problem further you will find that it was through the efforts of N. C. Marine Fisheries Law Enforcement Section that this thing with C. F. Industries was finally brought to a head and the proper authorities really began to do something about it. I think the public should be made aware of where the blame lies in things of this nature and not go around placing blame on those who are trying to do everything they can to keep things like this from happening. One of the main interests of N. C. Marine Fisheries Law Enforcement Section is the commercial fisherman, who in many cases makes his living from the waters of our state. Therefore, our interest lies in the quality of the waters just like that of the general public. Sincerely, Carlton Nixon, Insp.-Supv. N . C.

Aluminum Cons Good For Cash Everyone seems to use more aluminum beverage cans and foil products in the summertime while planning family meals around Fourth of July celebrations, Little League ball games, camping trips, beach weekends and vacations. Save these aluminum containers and turn them in for cash --15 cents per pound -- at the Reynolds Aluminum mobile recycling unit. You can recycle all clean household aluminum such as pie plates; aluminum foil; frozen food and dinner trays; dip, pudding and meat containers; as well as beverage cans. Recyclers are reminded that all aluminum beverage cans are nonmagnetic, have a rounded bottom edge and no side seams. Many cans have the words “recyclable aluminum’’ printed on the side. Lei’s Cut It Down! The federal government debt increased almost 24 per cent in 1975, the greatest increase since World War 11, reports the Commerce Department. The increase in 1974 was 3.4 per cent. Heavy Treasury Department financing helped push the debt from $360.8 billion in 1974 to $446.3 billion in 1975 and to nearly S6OO billion this year. /’ !* ’’ **;• . * ' •T. / ' * / ' 1 " Ci iniiinptiiiin Mimmerame and your electric ML When temperatures soar into the 90’s, a lot of us turn to our air conditioners for relief.
