Stream Pollution
. (Continued from Page One)
of the streams and why the munici
palities and industries are not.
Sewage from municipalities and
industries are under State juris
diction; the local Health Depart
ment has no authority to regulate
their sewage disposal methods.
Should the local Health Depart
ment be given jurisdiction, there
is no known cause why the munic
ipalities and industries would
not be required to install approved
sewage disposal treatment plants.
As time permits, or when the
personnel of the Health Depart
ment increases, more extensive
surveys will be made. Everyone
found running sewage into a stream
will receive the same notice. Each
party will be dealt with exactly as
those in the past who have been
required to install septic tanks.
Surveys thus far made have been
iu the Canton area, the Lake Juna
luska area, the residential area
north of the Lake, Dellwood and
upper Jonathan Creek. There are
good reasons why a survey may
be started in a certain area. For
instance. Lake Junaluska and the
adjoining residential area are
thickly populated and more or less
congested during the summer
months. To protect that area and
the summer guests, a survey was
made and notice was given to in
stall sewage disposal facilities
where it was found they were need
ed. Areas catering to summer
guests, where food is prepared and !
served, or where dairying is car-;
ried on, are considered critical
areas, and should be among the
first to be required to install ap-
proved facilities.
Sewage diversion from streams
has been discussed with Jack Mos
ser, superintendent of Haywood,
county schools. Mr. Messer is in
sympathy with the program and
assures the local Health Depart
ment that all schools at fault will
make the necessary corrections by
the beginning of another school
Flames Break From Reeves Building

DEATHS
This pnolograph was snapped just as flames broke from the roof
of the Reeves Building last Wednesday. The flames are over the
narrow alley. Firemen played hose on both the front and back of the
building. A stream of water is seen shooting towards the flames.

Who will be required to install
Septic Tanks?
Every individual with water
borne sewage facilities on the prem
ises who is discharging sewage into
a stream. When the stream is
heavilly polluted with sewage from
municipalities and industries, ex
ceptions will be made until such'
times as the municipalities and i
industries install sewage disposal
plants. I
Why Does The Local Health De- J
partment Insist That The Streams
Be Free From Sewage?
The answer is that water is es
sential to man and beast. A con
taminated supply can be as dan
gerous as no supply. Typhoid fever,
paratyphoid and amebic dysentery
are common water-born diseases.
There are many reasons to believe
that poliomyelitis (infantile para
lysis is caused by drinking or bath
ing in water containing the sewage
borne virus. There are ear, eye,
nose and throat, as well as skin,
infections that are caused by water
born organisms. It is to safe-guard
the county's health, as well as that
of the summer guests, that our
streams should be made free of i
disease-causing organisms.
Any program inaugurated for the j
safety and welfare of a community I
should have the support or approval I
of its citizenry. With such support, i
public opinion becomes the enforc
ing agent: without the support the'
program is nullified and enforce
ment, if any, becomes a major prob
lem. Much depend- on the citizens of
Haywood county, whether the God-'
given streams shall be a source of,
health, inspiration and beauty or
become the sickening cesspools of
human excreta How many of us
would be willing for our children
to play in such cesspools'.' Then
why let other people's children
play where we would forbid ours?
It is being done.
What would our summer visi
tors say and do if they knew that
the streams to which we invite them
are foul with disease organisms?
What would be the attitude of the
U. S. Park Officials and the U. S.
Public Health Service toward en
couraging visitors to this area if
we should continue to fail to en
force sanitation of the streams in
this recreational area? How would
the W. N. C. Associated Communi
ties justify the expenditure of

questions that you, as citizens of

answer for yourselves.
Every resident of Haywood coun
ty should be vitally concerned
about this problem. He, or she,
should take it upon himself, or
herself, to see that our streams are
free from pollution and kept in the
condition that nature gave them
to us.

Legislature
(Continued from Page One)
cisions, but those same problems
together with others and an ac
cumulation of things, now demand
a solution.
One of the largest crowds in the
history of the state ever to attend
a committee hearing converged on
Raleigh last week, when an esti
mated 3000 attended a hearing
before a joint finance committee.
The bill up for discussion, would
amend the laws dealing with co
operative, mutual and marketing
associations so that such organiza
tions would no longer be deemed
non-profit associations, and would I
become subject to laws relating to
monopolies, and would no longer
be specially exempt from license,
income and franchise taxes. The:
bill is still in the hands of the com
mittee. Among other bills creating much
interest included: a limitation of
10 years upon suits to foreclose
the lien of local and ad valorem
taxes. This passed the Senate, and
is now in hands of the House fi
nance committee.
A bill, receiving an unfavorable
report, would have made teachers'
and principals' salaries payable in
12 monthly installments.
Also before the legislature are
bills which would increase the
salaries and expense allowances
for superior court solicitors from
a total of $5,000 each to $7,500
each. Another bill would reduce
solieitorial districts from 21 to 19.
Another bill would make it illegal
to leave any child under 7 in an
automobile unattended by a person
of 14 or older. A substitute bill,
applying to 4 counties, would make
it illegal to leave a child of 5 or
under in an automobile unattended
by a person of 12 or over for more
than 20 minutes.
An unfavorable report was made
by committees from the Senate and
House on the so-called "South
Piedmont Plan" for teachers' pay.
A bill prohibiting a "closed-shop"
made under the rotation agree
ment to certify the nomination to
the chairman of the elections
boards of other counties within the
district.
Clarify instructions for voting a
mixed ticket.
Require the State Board of Elec
tions, with approval of the Attor
ney General, to prepare the form
of ballots for constitutional amend
ments, unless the form is stated in
the bill calling the referendum.
FBI Gives Lilienthal
Clean Bill On Loyalty
WASHINGTON (AP) The
FBI reported after a "routine"
checkup on David E. Lillienthal,
chairman-designate of the atomic
energy commisison, giving him a
clean bill of health on "character,
associations and loyalty."
Senator Hickenlooper (R., Ia.i,
chairman of the committee that
has bee; studying the Lilienthal
appointment, announced that the
former TV A head would appear be
fore the commission this its lifth
week to answer charges that he
was "too soft" towards Communism.
was reported favorably by a House
committee.
The House also reported favor
ably to a bill setting up a Wildlife
Resources Commission outside of
the Department of Conservation
and Development. The bill might
find different sentiment in the
.senate.
Oilier bills introduced included:
give the people a chance to rescind
their action, by declaring women
ineligible for jury service. To place
taxi-cabs under the jurisdiction of
the State Utilities Commission.
Give housing authorities power
to clear and rebuild slum areas.
Another bill would provide com
pensation for persons erroneously
convicted of felonies, up to $600
per year spent in prison, but not
exceeding a total of $5,000.
Another bill would start local
tax penalties on January 2 rather
than February 2, and allow dis
counts for prepayment of only 1
per cent if paid during August and
!-j per cent if pand during Septem
ber. A Senate bill would repeal the
two statutes which permit absolute
divorce on the grounds of 2 years
separation. This measure received
an unfavorable report.
Another senate bill would "dis
courage bootleggers" by making
mandatory their minimum punish
ment upon first conviction a fine of
$500 or six months imprisonment,
on their second a fine of $750 or
nine months imprisonment, and on
their third a fine of $1,000 or one
year imprisonment.
The "guessing date" for adjourn
ment is now set at April 10th. The
members receive $10 per day for
the first 60 days. They do not get
any other compensation after the
60-day period.
