Most Inland Waters Contains Little DDT Judging by a 13 * month survcifiancc of the Tar ? Pamlico River system, DDT is fairly prevalent in the inland waters of North-Carolina "but in very small quantities." This is the conclusion of Dr. T.J Sheets, director of the Pesticidc Residue Research Laboratory at North Carolina Stale University. About 21 percent of 162 water samples taken from the river basin contained wlu't appeared to be DDT, Dr. Sheets reports. However, in most cases the indicated presence of DDT was too small to be confirmed. None of the samples contained enough DDT to cause immediate poisoning of aquatic animals, bul a few contained enough to cause some accumulation in fish and other aquatic animals. The monitoring program directed by Dr. Sheets is believed to have been the first systematic, long ? term survey ever made of a major river system in North Carolina. Its purpose was to design a sampling system that could be used throughout the state. Money for the experimental monitoring program was provided by the U.S. Department of Interior through the Water Resources Research Institute of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. The Tar - Pamlico system was selected for the experiment because of the agricultural development in the basin. "I suspect that the chances of finding DDT in the Tar River would be as good as the chances of finding it in any river in the stale," Sheets said. The researchers found that pesticide levels in the river could vary sharply from week to week. Differences were even found between the middle of the river and the sides of the river. In another experiment where movement of DDT in "wash off' from cotton fields was studied, about 9S perccnt of all DDT recovered was found attached to lilt particles. If thete results are transposed to the river survey, it means that most of the DDT was in the mud, not in the water. Such differences were observed in the river study. Water samples were checked for DDE, TDE and dieldrin, as well as for DDT. "Of course, DDT and related insecticides have been labeled the worst pcsticide pollutants bccausc they arc persistant and build up fast," the NCSU scientist explained. "But most uses of DDT will be discontinued in another year or two, at least in the United States. However, nations are not cutting back on their use of DDT, and total world use is still relatively high," he added. While anxious to see a curtailment in the use of DDT, Dr. Sheets docs not want to see this pesticide banned completely. There are some pest problems for which there is no substitute at present for DDT, and he believes that the continued use of DDT in these cases "is worth the risk." One thing that gives Sheets confidence in the pollution fight is the degree to which pesitcide rcsideus can now be detected. For example, a DDT residue inay contain six or more basic components. Scientists can dctect, but not confirm, the presence of one of these components if as much as 10 parts per trillion is present in water. "Let me illustrate what is meant by 10 parts per trillion," Dr. Sheets said. "The moon is 240,000 miles from earth. Ten parts of trillion is ihc equivalent of one foot out of ubout 400 round trips to the moon." The laboratory which Sheets directs has several research projects dealing with pesticide residues in soil, water, cigarettes, and plant and animal tissues. In addition to the Tar ? Pamlico river study, the U.S. Department of Interior samples on a regular basis fish, oysters and other aquatic animals from 17 locations along the North Carolina coast. Also, the U.S. Department of Agriculture regularly monitors food and docs some monitoring for pcsticidcs in North Carolina. Ervin,Lennon Slated For Ttohesnn Rnllv Sen. Sam Ervin and Rep.

The county is not authorized to grant money for the purpose of water and sewer lines inside the city, but it can grant non-tax funds for the promotion of industry. Hosteller said. The commissioners could not commit funds for more than one year at a time, he said. However, a legislative act could be passed to allow a percentage of the ABC funds to go to the city. No action was taken on the city's request. The board also discussed plans to attend a meeting of the Southeastern Economic Development Commission at 2 p.m. Thursday. Dr. Robert Townsend, who has been the SEDC representative, has submitted his resignation but has been asked to reconsider, T.C. Jones, board chairman announced. The commissioners also approved a request by Harold Gillis to put a Christmas tree on the courthouse lawn during the holidays. John Davis and Charlie Tew appeared before the commissioners seeking their support to build a new rescue squad building. They had met with the commissioners several months ago to advise them of the squad's plans to buy and renovate the old building now being used by the rescue squad. However, the squad had decided to build a new building, Davis said, and would like for the commission to approve the plan. They also requested the commissioners to consider donating a lot near the Armory on Adams Street.

Originally, the Social Security number was intended to be used for Social Security purposes only. The first cards weire issued at the end of 1936 to be used when Social Security laxes were to start being deducted effective with January 1937. At the present time, Social Security numbers arc being used instead of service numbers by nil branches of our armed forcos. Also, many insurance companies, business firms and banks use the Social Security numbers as an identification number. The various states use the number for tax and employment security purposes and the Federal Internal Revenue service uses the Social Security number as a tax identification number. I suppose the basic reason for the increased use of the Social Security number is thai it is ideally suited for use by computers and this is the reason tl lal lite Social Security Administration chose to use these numbers back in 1936. To dale, the Social Security Adniinistiaiion has issued over 187,000,C 00 numbers. When you get your first Social Security card, the number on it is yours for life. If you lose your number you need only contact your nearest Post Office where you get an application for a duplicate number. You ladies, when you gel married, need to get an application to change youi name on your Social Security caid. The Post Offices have this form as well.
