Eagle Home Games i May 1, 2 Portsmouth I May 7, 8 Durham Hay 12 Wilson Southwood 4-H Club Wins Safety Award The Southwood Eager Beavers 4-H Gub of Lenoir County won statewide recognition last week for its achievement in the 4-H safety program. > ■ "rneevrh&nn awardfrom the National Safety Council at the annual conference fof the N. C. Kara! Safety Council. The national council cited the Southwood 4-H’ers for “exception al service to farm (or rural) safety through -an active, enthusiastic safety program of substantial value to the 4-H members, their families and their community.” Witter Shortage Could Be United States9 Biggest Problem; Solution Being Sought By Senator Sam Ervin Amid all of;the problems of glob al strategy in the Cold War, Sen ate passage rof a comparatively small hat important appropriation bill last week may have been over looked. The bill, S. 2, dealt with a growing problem of our civilization — water. I supported the measure which called for it he expenditure of f20 nriltioa to establish Water Re sources Research centers in land ;rant Cottegfes and universities in Much state. The important thing about the neasure is that it seeks to find sol ltions for mankind’s age-old prob em now facing this country, which s how to get water supplies in the ace of civilization’s demands. The problem facing the nation s best illustrated when we realize hat while today we are using 300 jillion gallons of water daily in his country, yet in the year 1980 hat need will have doubled, and ly the year 2000 that need will tave tripled. Although North Carolina has vast vater resources and fares better han most states,: almost every Dwn and city council understands he value of ample supplies of wat :r to meet the needs of people nd industry. Recently on a Sunday evening TBC TV program feaurting Chet luntley the problem was summed ip in a title “The Trouble with Vater is People.” Today our na MM i tm tion, once essentially rural and un used to water laws in all but some western states, finds that sheer population growth demands more concern over water supplies. Only forty years ago there were only 105 million Americans. Today there are more than 180 million Ameri cans. Students of the water-needs tell us that they must base 1980 supplies on a population of 260 million Americans. One of the real experts on the water supply problem was the late Senator Kerr of Oklahoma. One of his favorite phrases was “land, wood, and water are the basic ele ments of economic strength, and these elements must be diligently conserved and wisely used if we are to maintain our security and reinforce our free world position.” He put the problem in basic terms. Senator Kerr, it should be noted, headed an outstanding study from 1959 to 1961 conducted by the Sen ate Select Committee on National Water Resources. Point three of the Committee’s recommendations was “to greatly expand our scien tific research programs to develop ways to make better use of its tvailable water.” In essence, S. 2, as passed by the Senate last week, seeks to imple ment this recommendation by pro dding for state-controlled Water Research Centers. Water conservation is not an en-. irely new concept in this country. As Senator Kerr pointed out in a Senate speech on January 30, 1961, there have been twenty major stud ies and reviews conducted by the Congress on this subject from 1907 to 1961. A first need still re mains for Americans to be sold on the idea that water conservation is a growing necessity. Currently there are eight Federal departments and agencies conduct ing water research projects at a 1963 expenditure of $66 million. These studies range from stream pollution to saline water conver sion. The Federal endeavor in this field should not cause states, local com munities, and citizens to forego ad ditional efforts to solve what may become the foremost problem for Our country twenty or thirty or forty years from now. European, African, and Asian nations have long dealt with ser ious water shortages often at the cost of grea,t time and talent. Civ ilizations have flourished, withered, and sometimes fallen as they have responded to the challenge of ob taining fuol Wld water supplies. Since the turn of the century we have learnt*} that we have no long er inexhaustf$e soil and forest re sources. We set about to conserve^ them. Th£ evi^epce now shows that our nation nttfstwce steps to con serve once thought-to-be inexhaust ible but now urgently needed water supphes.
