PAGE TEN Waters Os State To Be Classified In Accordance To Law Purpose Is to Safeguard Water Resources of State The State Stream Sanitation Com mittee, established by Chapter 606, Session Laws of 1961 (Article 21 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes) has developed, after months of inten sive study, a proposed State-wide se ries of classifications and water qual ity standards applicable to each such classification for the waters of North Carolina. These tentative proposed classifications and standards have been reviewed by a number of techni , cal experts representing industry, mu nicipalities, State agencies, federal agencies, technical schools and others who feel that the proposed series of classifications and standards are suf ficently complete and practical to be considered by the Committee for final ! adoption. It is proposed that these classifications and standards, subject to such revision as the Committee may deem advisable as a result of discus sions at the five public hearings to be held through the State, shall be adopted as rules of procedure to be followed in classifying and assigning standards of quality to any specifical ly designated waters in the State. The series of classes, and accom panying water quality standards, as proposed, consists of six classes for fresh surface waters (A-I, A-11, B, C, D and E) and four classes for tidal salt waters (SA, SB, SC and SD). The classes have been based upon con siderations of best usage of the State’s water resources and standards of wa ter quality for each class have been developed which, when met, will pro vide water suitable for each best us age selected. The proposed series of classifica tions and standards under considera tion at the public hearings to be held will not, if adopted, fix the classifi cation or standards of quality for any particular waters. Instead, the adopt ed classifications and standards will be a guide to be followed in the fu ture in classifying specifically desig nated waters, and such waters will be assigned to one of the proposed class es having the standards of quality proposed for such cases. The law requires that complete studies be made of waters prior to classifying and as- 1 FOR INSURANCE ✓ FIRE - CASUALTY - AUTO ' CALL * . .

The public hearings in question will not, therefore, relate the classification of any specific wa ters, but only with the suitability of i the proposed series of classifications and water quality standards to be fol lowed in the future classification of specific waters of the State. The State Stream Sanitation Law was enacted in 1961 for the purpose of establishing a reasonable and effec tive program for safeguarding the wa ter resources of the State to the end that our water requirements for health, recreation, fishing, agricul ture, industry and animal life will be protected. The proposed series of classifications and standards of water quality have been designed as a prac tical instrument to be followed in car rying out the requirements of the Statute. , | HEALTH FOR ALL | ' ' i HAVE A GOOD VACATION You say those words and hear them constantly these days as the annual i vacation trek begins. You’ve planned to have a wonderful time. But you do know that there are hazards, and it’s well to plan for them, too. You know that a vacation can be ruined by an emergency you aren’t prepared for. You will remember to take along a first aid kit, plenty of sunburn and poison ivy lotion. But there’s another piece of equipment that is vitally im portant and that is your own atti tude in an emergency. Accidents will happen, and some times they happen when medical help isn’t close at hand. One of the great est dangers in any type of accident is shock. Scientifically speaking, shock is the result of a relative lack of blood in the body. It may be caused by bleeding, internally or externally, or by loss of water and salt, for example from sweating in heat exhaustion, or from excessive vomiting or diarrhea. It may also be caused by expansion of the blood vessels brought on by acute anxiety, contact with high vol tage wires, or by severe pain. It of ten results in too little blood reaching the brain, producing drowsiness and unconsciousness. If not overcome promptly, death can occur. Only a doctor, of course, can give blood or plasma transfusions or ad minister drugs. But the presence of a person who keeps his head at the scene of an accident may be almost equally important in saving a life.

SUPER MARKET J Warm, Humid Weather Favorable v To Blight The recent warm, humid weather over the Tar Heel State has been “ideal” for the rapid spread of late blight, a disease that could cripple North Carolina’a home grown toma to crop. Farmers and home gardeners alike were warned recently that the disease that causes the foliage of the tomato plant to bum off the stems and the ripe and unripe fruit to become infest ed with brownish-black rotten spots, can be controlled by periodic dusting or spraying with fungicides containing metallic copper. Max A. Culp, Caldwell County farm agent for the N. C. State College Ag ricultural Extension Service, remind ed farmers that the tomato “is prob ably your favorite vegetable and it should be—for tomatoes are very rich in vitamin C, appetizing and colorful. Every family looks forward to the coming of the first tomatoes of the season.” If you have one of the wilt-resistant varieties such as Pan American, Southland, or Jefferson, you don’t have to worry about fusarium wilt, Culp says, but every tomato growei <V^WVWWWVWS/VW'Ae»/VWWWW\A^/VW j TOMMY TUCKER j and his 'Stng For Your Supper' ORCHESTRA Thursday, July 16th 10 TIL 2 | NEW FARMERS WAREHOUSE j Ahoskie, N.
