Sanitation is defined as the use
of scientific knowledge in provid
ing means to preserve health.
Health is presetsed hy provtd
ing a clean wholesome environ
ment. A clean wholesome envir
onment is attained when filth is
removed from its make-up. Filth
has always been unpleasant.
Kven ancient peoples had rules
and methods of sanitation. Christ
taught that cleanliness was next
to godliness. Tin- Romans were
famous for their sewers and
aqueducts.
When the white man first land
ed on American soil, they found
the ficshest Indian camps always
upstream from l ho previous ones.
They. Iho Indians, realized thai
their unsanitary method of sew
a »o dis|>osal (xtssihly would con
laminate their water supply,
hence they moved up stream.
Diseases resulting from filth
were serioius in all civilized mun
trles until about Ittun. Since then,
due to scientific discoveries, and
organized sanitation programs,
death rates from infectious dis
eases have been sharply reduced.
Sanitation changed our existence
from a way to survive to a way
to thrive.
Of all Improvements in sani
tary practices from human sur
vival and betterment, sanitarv
sowage disposal is the most im

milted to remain untreated on the
ground surface, or in improper

functioning septic tanks or in a
stream, is a direct means of dis-1
semina'ing diseases to an epidc
mic proportion. Aside from this
danger, such practices permit the
breeding of flies and mosquitoes,
permit rat harboraging and
stench the air to an untiearatile
stage.
One of the biggest sanitary
problems, in this regard, ion
fronting our state today is the
pollution of streams, such as
lakes, creeks and rivers by si-w
age. chemical from factories and
improper garbage disposal. 'Many
of these streams air used for re
creation purposes and public wa
! ter supplies
A case in point is Sandy Beach
on Buffalo Creek. What starti-d
out to he one individual dumping
rubbish, trash ami garbage beside
the upstream sick- of this creek
has grown into a huge dump that
is down to the water's edge. The
' beautiful, white sandy beach with
| its sparkling cleai water waist
deep to a child is no longer fit
for its natural purpose.
Stream pollution by factory and
other industrial waste, along with
sewage contamination, is com
monplace even here in Cleveland
County.
This problem has become so
prevalent over our slate that it
became necessary to organize a
special agency for coping with
this problem. Thus was created
the X. C. State St teams Sanita
i tion ami Pollution Commission,
j Under its direction and supervi- j
j sion all streams in our state have
[ been classified. Enforcement ac
1 tions are in the process of being
carried out to correct contamina
tion and pollution of our streams, j
In direct relation with stream
pollution versus stream sanita- |
tion is the problem of a pute wa-;
ter supply. Many communities de
em! upon streams for their pota
ble water supply. In too many
instances it is secured from
streams that have been polluted
With sewage or industrial waste.
Dependency upon treatment of
our water bv filtration and chlor
ination is expensive as well as
lacking in fresh taste. If contam
ination of our streams continue
at the present rate, treatment
may not l>o extensive enough to
provide protection against disease
organisms and certainly less pal- ,
stable to the taste.
We are fortunate in most parts
of North Carolina in having a
rainfall and geological structure
that is favorable to the mainten
ance of on abundant and acces
sible supply of underground wa
ter which is of the highest quali
tv with regards to appearance,
taste and safety. This source of
water is made available to us
through natural sources, such as
springs or artesian wells. How
ever. in most instances wells have
to be artificially constructed to
teach this reservoir of pure
wholesome water unpolutted by
man's carelessness.
Of all gifts bestowed by nature,
upon mankind, none is more in
dispensable than water. Ground
water is an indispensable source
! of clear, palatable water that is
free of disease organisms. It can
he received by man in his home,
in this same manner if precau
tions are taken to secure this in
valuable natural resource. Those
precautions are as follows:
1. Locate the private water sup
ply on the crest of a hill, so that
surface water will drain away
from the well.
2. Be sure supply is at least ot)
feet from any possible source of
pollution such as barnyards, hog
pens, privies, septic tanks, etc.
3. Construct the well so as to
rotect the ground water supply
from any surface contamination.
Rain water soaking into the
ground will carry impurities with
it, and thus pollute the ground
water supply. If proper protec
tion from seepage is not provided.
4. Have water supply tested for
bacteriological purity periodical
ly. Your health department can
help you with this.
Just as water is Indispensable
to our health, so may it lx- a
source of disease dissemination.
Diseases communicated by intes
tinal discharges are the ones most
commonly w^ter-borne. Among
