To ihe...Editor:
A news Story in your columns
a couple of weeks ago, report
ing the arrest and fining of
Negro driver from Alamance
who east a beer can, I think it
was> on the highway just as a
police officer came along, doubt
less caused some satisfaction to
readers who do not enjoy lit
tered highways or additions to ,
the tax bill to clean up the'
litter.
But the satisfaction must be i
dampened for those in Chapel l
Hill by the fact that no supple- .
mentary stories have appeared !
reporting discipline of students \
who cruise about town throw
ing ' into the streets beer cans
and refuse including paper cups
drooling the remains of milk
shakes and, on one occasion, I j
c)ianced to see at uncomfort- '
ably close range on Rosemary,'
paper plates with liberal leav- j
ings of potato salad and other j
delicacies. Nor has your paper j
reported police action against J
the members of sundry frater- |
nities who sit on their porches
and thence throw their beer —
cans into the street, often with
gnough force to carry some of
them clanging into the yards j
across the way.
The arrested Negro was in I
the wrong but I wonder if the j
incident against this back- j
ground does much for keeping!
North Carolina “green and j
clean,” to say nothing of its j
possible effect on race relations. |
While f- am at it, one more I •
thing, whoHy unrelated:
An urgent need right now is !
•a run-around, second
lane on the Durham highway
at the Estes Hill stop light.
Thru traffic behind vehicles I
waiting tt>^ turn left is now |
much delayed or forced to go
out onto the dirt shoulder to j
get along. I am sure many j
others have noted this trouble- |
some and needless condition 1
and hope it will soon be rem- |
edied. [

merits of bis case.
“Lawsuits over fluoridation are
nothing new. They are union u
nate. But there are many piece-!
dents for them. And the right
to a fluoridated water supply has
been established in court bef ore!
just as it has been established in
the annals of public health
, guardianship.”

Upon the passing of the term [
of superior court last January!
The News commenced again :
, “The well-proven opinion of ma-!
jor dental and medical authori
ties. the will of local citizens,
and the decision of the Univer
sity administration itself contin
ues to Ik* thwarted by failure to
act while more dental cavities
are assured for the teeth of gen
erations of children yet unborn.”
These things need to be said
again, and to be said to the
proper local authorities by in
terested local citizens, until the
good faith of the University is
proven or disproven.
