PUPPY-BAIT
" Montgomery, Ala. IUPD - E.
L. Dambach rescued his bea
gle puppy from an abandoned
well Tuesday by luring it
into a net and hauling it up.
As bait for the puppy-net he
used a hot dog.
Bear Creek:
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make a mighty ocean
And a pleasant land,
This doggerel, familiar to school children, has
elements ot a truth beyond the obvious.
One might paraphrase it thus : V
Little drops of sewage,
Dissolved in solution.
Make for dirty rivers
And waters with pollution.
This is in essence the finding of a committee
which for the past year has been studying the
problem of water pollution in Jackson county,
with emphasis on the waters of Hear creek.
There isn't any one,
tion which makes Bear creek the unpleasant,
dirty, unsafe stream it is today. No one individual
or f urn can be blamed for the condition.
But there are hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of small sources of pollution, which, when com
bined, do the dirty job.
THIS situation makes it easy for anyone to say,
1 indignantly, "Who Me??" when his con
tribution to the overall pollution problem is point
ed out.
The answer is "Yes you, and you, and you,
and you." No one person is fully responsible ; al
most all are partly responsible.
And a clean-up which could make Bear creek
a pleasant, attractive stream once again, is also
a job for many people, and one with many phases
and approaches.
THESE thoughts are stated plainly in the really
excellent report the committee issued last
week.
Here are some pertinent excerpts from the
report:
'The problem of pollution in the streams of Jackson
county can be attacked from the following standpints:
1. Law enforcement
2. Public education
3. Clean-up campaign
4. Increased streamflow
Present laws appear to be adequate. The main
problem in some areas seems to be the absence of
sufficient supervisory personnel to enforce respect for
the anti-pollution laws. This applies to the state police,
sheriff's office, county and state health departments.
In the case of certain of these agencies, there
seems to be a reluctance to rely upon the provisions
. of law in force to gain a proper respect for the anti
. :'. pollution laws. There seems to be a practice of relying
on "voluntary cooperation" rather than enforcement.
Public education affords one of the best opportuni
ties for gaining public support and respect for anti
: pollution laws. (
Clean-up campaigns sponsored by various service
organizations within the county could be helpful in
improving the present condition of the streams insofar
as mechanical pollution is concerned.
Increased streamflow, while not an abatement of
pollution as such, could serve to lessen the effects of
.. continuing pollution.
IN ADDITION to those general conclusions, the
renort coes into some detail rtn the varinns
types and sources of pollution.
These are far more extensive than the average
resident would ever suspect, until he sat down
to mink aDout it a Dit,
For instance, the runnrr. lists rhroo hmo'
Mechanical (tin cans, car bodies, mattresses,
tires. Gravel and Rand silt.at.inn anrl n nnl nro-an-

DROBABLY no one, if you asked him, would
say that Bear creek as it now is, is much of
an asset to the community.
Nor would he, if you asked him, have much
of an idea how it could be cleaned up except,
perhaps, a vague idea that people should stop
dumping things in the creek other people, that
is.
And yet, come right down to it, if we any
of us care, it is the responsibility of all of us.

The Word Is Love
To the Editor: In my opin
ion, Senator Kennedy and
Senator Johnson promise a
better way of Ufe, and will
bring it about faster than has
ever been done before - New
Deal, Fair Deal or any other
change In history.
I believe their love will be
for their fellow man first,
and money second: more
schools, better homes, and I
also believe if they had to
make a choice between their
wealth and their fellow man,
their choice would be their
fellow man, and 1960 will be
the greatest change in history.
There was a king not lone
ago that gave up his throne
for the love of a woman, and
there is a promise for this
world and the word is love.
God made bees, and bees
made honey. God made man,
and man made money.
Why the United Nations
police force in Leopoldville?
If the peoples of the Congo
could have learned : their
ABCs in 1910, and had schools
and proper education, there
would be no police force
there in 1960.

Pigs and Property
To the Editor: Now is the
time, as summer has always
been for picnics, outings and
complete relaxation.
But how - HOW in the
name of creation can a con
scientious person relax when
he's forced to watch the pigs
who inhabit public recreation
al areas? That's not the half
of it. They brazenly invade
private property as well.
They crash gates, fences,
signs; nothing fazes them.
Then they plant themselves as
though they own the place
and proceed to spread gar
bage, trash and heaven knows
what on every square foot of
space they happen to hit. If
they're asked nicely to pick
it up, they have the unmiti
gated gall to act as though the
owner crawled out from un
der a slimy rock.
I've seen Httle kids split
their feet and legs wide open
on a broken bottle that some
slob throws in the river. I've
seen filthy messes that even
an animal has Instinct enough
to bury. And I've seen some
deranged idiot build a fire
directly beneath dry timber.
If you haven't observed any
of this, you must be a hermit.
You evidently don't go where
all the slophouscs leave their
tracks. I expect you could
find them though. Their
homes must emit odors that
can be smelled for miles. But,
when they finally have the
earth covered with offal,
there's still hope for them.
By that time, outer space
should be wide open.
You've probably gathered
by now that I, for one, have
had a belly full of it. It's
DISGUSTING! Is there any
thing that can be done out
side of standing constant
guard with a shotgun?
One of these days - you
creatures who didn't pick up
your filth last week end, and
the one before and the one
before that - there will be no
place left for you to go. It's
a cinch you're not welcome
any place now.
I, personally, hope to heav
en they shut you out of every
place available. Or give the
whole bunch of you an island
all to yourselves where you
can wallow around In the
garbage to your heart's con
tent. Maybe thon the rest of us
can relax and enjoy the beau
ty and peace of this wonder
ful country like human be
ings. Sincerely - oh SO sincerely.

was acting under pressure of
the knowledge that if action
were not taken quickly, the
new state might quickly fall
apart mid, worse, become a
very hot point Indeed In the
East-West cold war.
Event In History
It was a history-making
event In two ways.
It was only the second tlmo
that U.N. emergency forces
had been culled Into action.
The first was the U.N. force
Hint took up positions along
the truce line separating the
United Arab Republic and Is
rael. It was the first time such a
force had been considered to
take action In what must truly
be considered an internal situ
ation, as opposed to an ex
ternal threat to International
peace and security.
To get the Congo before the
Security Council at all, It was
nccssary to stretch a point
At that time I was a mem
ber of the Traffic and Safety
Committee in the District of
Columbia.
The police officials told us
that they were having a time
with those drivers that had
diplomatic Immunity and they
came to us for Ideas.
After several meetings a
citizens group was organized
and sworn in as special civil
ian police.
These men wore equipped
with credentials and a police
whistle and had the authority
to stop anyone who violated
the traffic laws or were not
driving safely.
They had no autliority to
arrest nor issue citations; how
ever they did have a book of
the traffic regulations and it
worked this way. An offend
er, diplomatic or otherwise,
would be stopped and the
civilian officer would show
his authority for stopping the
car.
He would then take out the
traffic regulations and pro
ceed to read to the offender
as many of the rules and regu
lations as he thought pertain
ed to the present situation
and those in the future. The
offender could not run away
as he would be resisting an
officer of the law so they just
had to take it. True, it was
just an annoyance to the in
dividual and of course It was
recorded in the police traffic
files as a count against that
individual should any thing
serious happen.
This worked out Just fine
In spite of the howl that went
up for a while after the news
of the scheme worked out.
After a while these men
were gradually disbanded so
that no one knew Just when
they ceased to exist.
Perhaps It would work, IF
great care was taken in the
selection of responsible and
well known citizens.

At present. It (unctions as

to find a new Job for a down

As I was standing on the
sidewalk, waiting to help old
ladles who like Nixon get
across the street, I wis struck
by the youth of the Rocke
feller campaigners. One youth
struck me In the eye with a
pennant.
Seizing him by the arm, I
conducted a sidewalk Inter
view during which I learned
that he wns a 13-yenr-old high
school freshman before he be
came a politician.
"Why are your for Rocke
feller?" I asked as he pierced
my lapel with a campaign pin
which almost penetrated my
left lung.
"I think he's been a success
ful governor and I think he'll
make a successful president,"
the lad replied pontlflcnlly be
fore darting across the street
to stab another undecoratcd
adult.
Questions Three Others
Then I stopped three moro
juvenile Jim Fnrleys who
were wearing pith helmets
with tho word "Rocky" stamp
ed across the crown. I figured
they wore touting a comeback
for Rocky Marclano.
"You fellows are really
Democrats, aren't you?" I
teased.
"Not necessarily," their
spokesman retored. "We In
tend to reserve Judgmont un
til the Republican platform Is
finished."
It was plain that the young
sters really wanted to help
Rockefeller even If they
couian t vote, and this was
what made me think of old
John D. and tho dimes.
You've hoard the parable

Possible
Tills Is the threat which hi.
tuni U.N. iii'llim can prevent.
It Is within the promise of
the U.N. I'hnrter to provide,
lit any new government's re
quest, adnilnlslrutlve and oth
er personnel which can assist
In the training of the new of
ficial who must take over ad
nilnlslrutlve duties.
If necessary, an emergency
force of troops can assure the
pence and prevent ononldocl
action by any outside nation,
To the Ill-prepared, Inde
pendence loo often means un
bridled license to destroy. Too
late comes tho realization that
Independence Is not froo ride
to Utopia.
Charge
Rockefeller insists that he
will not accept a draft for vice
president, and one must be
llevo him. lie has been ad
versely critical of Nixon as
President Elsenhower's heir
uppnrent, Moreover, Rocke
feller has been slmrp-shootlng
the Eisenhower administra
tion and Its works. Hie offi
cial Washington line Is that
Ike rather , likes Rocky.
Insiders doubt this. The
President wns furious last
month when Rockefeller made
a big thing of visiting the
President in his office. Imme
diately thereafter. Rockefeller
publicly challenged Nixon on
basic policy Issues. This ma
neuver made it appear thnt
the challenge had been dis
cussed with nnd endorsed by
Elsenhower.
Whutever Ike mny say pub
licly, there Is no reason to be
lieve that he stands among
those Republicans who yearn
for a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket.
Some thoughtful politicians
bolleve It would be easier for
Rockefeller to adjust his Ideas
to the presidential platform
adopted last week in Los
Angeles than for the governor
to adjust to a Republican plat
form going all-out In support
of the Elsenhower administra
tion record.
Seat Platform Pretaure
Rockefeller could, unques
tionably, stand on the Demo
cratic plntform with less
danger than Johnson of em
barrassment or slippage. The
governor's pressure, however,
likely will havo considerable
effect on tho Republican plat
form to bo drafted here.
A big decision yet to be re
vealed is whether Nixon and
Uie Republicans will make a
grab for labor support. Big
labor can be counted as of
now against the Republicans
Just as the South wns moving
away from the Democrats
after Kennedy's nomination
and before the Johnson bomb
shell. The Republicans could
mightily shake up the poltl
cnl situation, for example, by
naming a big time labor boss
to run for vlco president. That
would not be much more as
tonishing thnn the Democrat's
nomination of Johnson.
No such Is likely, however.
The Republlcnns In 11)00 are
likely to nominate n ticket of
Republlcnns for president and
vlco president - for a change,
