Such a plan must provide reasonable levels of flood control and affect lives, homes, and property as little as possible. Your suggestions that concrete flood control proposals should be heard is a valid one. Inherent in such plans or proposals must be the alternative methods for pay ment. In today’s world, it is far more dif ficult to find feasible ways for government to pay for services than it is for people to suggest solutions unmindful of costs. Your insight into the ways of people and government has enabled you to correct ly predict that we.either develop a general ly acceptable flood control plan soon or something may be done for us without par ticipation by local people. You will be pleased to learn that many persons who opposed the former flood con trol plan now are actively working on re gionwide committees to bring more intelli gent approaches to land use water manage ment and wise utilization of this area’s nat ural resources. Mayor Charles H. Campbell, of Brevard, is chairman of Regional B Commission, which serves the four counties of Transyl vania, Henderson, Buncombe, and Madison. He has said, “The Commission will continue to seek reasonable and acceptable alterna tives for solutions to the region’s problems. Land use and water management are high on the Commission’s priorities. This re gional planning commission seeks more ac tive help from citizens of the region.” Other members of the Commission from Transyl vania are Bill Ives. J. W. Simpson, Mayor Edith Osborne, and Billi Slough. We commend you for your excellent editorial and for your continued interest in wise regional planning. Sincerely, L. D.

They want to get in a word be fore the hens wake up. 'umiin iw and their customers badly need? Well I don’t think so but evidently the editor of The Charlotte Observer believes that the federal government must move "to end our self-defeating reliance upon the automobile as the most important form of trasportation everywhere” The Observer is critical of Charlotte for “making street, highway and parking plans that largely ignore the national trend,” and suggests that unless Charlotte toes the lie, “a federal plan will be imposed on Char*, lotte,” My Gawd! Mass transportation is to be encouraged, but the EPA’s — both federal and state— must know that poorly maintained public buses along with the junkers on the road, are the foulest polluters of all Yet no pub lic official complains about this unsatisfac tory condition, or even attempts an inspec tion. We may well ask, “Why?” The Optimist THE “PURE AIR now” people seeming ly would take away or restrict the use of our automobiles, deter the building of nuclear power plants needed to avoid future energy crises, and retreat into the uneralis tic world of green pastures and empty pock etbooks. Dr A. L. Jones, a research association of the Standard Oil Co. of Ohio, has furnish ed a few facts to his 15-year-old daughter who wanted to know whether hers would be the last generation of people. Although Dr. Jones may be considered suspect because he does research for an oil company, his reply was more optimistic than the views she had heard in school. Dr. Jones said in part: “We have heard cries of wolf with re spect to our oxygen supply, the build-up of carbon monoxide the disppearance of spe cies, DDT, thermal pollution, radiation ef fects from nuclear power plants, the Am chitka nuclear tests, lead in gasoline, and mercury in fish. “My studies,” said Dr. Jones, “suggest that we are not on the brink of disaster. The world’s oxygen supply is secure. Our waters can be made pure again. The dis appearance of species is natural. About 50 • species are expected to disappear during this century, biit it is also true that 50 species became extinct last century and the century before that.” Dr. Jones continues: “Positive scientific evidence is ’ that nuclear power plants con structed to this date are the cleanest and least-polluting devices for generating elec tricity so far developed by man. The amount oi raujauon escaping irom a wcu-uesigucu nuclear plant is less than that from the cos mic rays to which a passenger is exposed on ai) ordinary jet aircraft flight.” It is Dr. Jones’ view that our most serious problem is the rapidly increasing human population on world wide basis. He says “the pollution of our natural, waters with sewage and chemicals is perhaps the second most serious one. Hydrocarbon emis sions from automobiles can be hazardous, especially in poorly ventilated locations.” The Challenge DR. JONES does not duck the problem of pollution. He thinks progress can be achieved in most areas, and dispels fears that nuclear power plants are a menace to mankind as some editorialists and cartoon ists aver. So let us get on with the purification of our air, lakes, streams and rivers but not at the sacrifice of an economy geared to mass production and high standards of living. We cannot emasculate the automotive industry, close d«wn factories and retreat to a back-to-nature approach of withdraw al gfrom reality. Let the anti-pollution laws be strict, and duly enforced in a sensible and work able fashion. It is folly to believe that an industrial nation can be pollution-free, and still endure. But it can be freer from pollu tion than at present and we are moving to ward that objective. Not as fast, perhaps, as we might wish, but moving nevertheless. And may we be saved from the regi mentation of our lives by bureaucrats whose zeal for telling people what to do is ex ceeded only by their arrogance and stupidity.
