Form Safety Week Farm Safety Week arrives each July to remind us that Farming and Ranching contain many natural hazards. It has been said that a wise farmer Is a safe farmer. We strongly urge all our farmer friends all over this fine county to make every week Fouling Our Own Nest Environmental pollution Is a people problem, as well as an industrial problem. While we demand that Industry do something about polluting air and water, we should go a step farther and crack down on the Individual polluters that number In the tens of millions. The National Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the highway departments of 29 states has just completed a study. It shows a lot of people aren't nearly as concerned about pollution as they profess to be. Each month, Ameri can motorists drop an average of 1,304 pieces of trash on every mile of the nation's vast network of primary high ways nearly 16.000 pieces per mile each year. Paper items accounted for 59 per cent of total roadside litter. The rest was tabulated at 16 per cent cans, 6 per cent plastic items, 6 per cent bottles and Jars, and 13 per cent miscellaneous. The large miscellaneous grouping included tires, lumber and a variety of unclassified items ranging from hair curlers, underwear and false teeth to ice chests and washing ma chines. This is the work of a public that. Judging by press accounts, is calling for instant nental problems. When you PT Tour taxes in Morrow County, you surely realize how times have changed ... on a steep upward course. A lot of us haw been disappointed in the Boeing tract. Industry -wise because trie indus try didn't materialize. However, times are changing and It ap pears very likely that there will be" industries hiring people, making Jobs, performing agri cultural chores and all kinds of related things. This ts not to happen over night Boeing Is not interested In booms and busts. But Indus tries are definitely looking at Morrow County. A Federal-State task force has chosen the Carty Reservoir site for a nuclear pow er plant location with work to start In the mid-1970s. The Ir rigation feature of the plant is Important to a number of the planned industries for the tract It may be hard to believe, but it really does look like it's com ing. And. as a taxpayer, it adds up to a pretty good possibility of some relief. Land values In the tract will go up and a nu clear power plant of SAX) mil lion in value, along with other multi-million dollar industrial developments, means more tax Income for the county and, hopefully, a fair measure of re lief for the rest of us. Harvest time to upon us. One eld time farmer told me this Just might be the biggest crop ever to hit Morrow County. This is, of course, dependent on many Its.
