Gibson City, Courier, Thursday, August 13, news of foosland I Pollution hazard 1 wish to thank the Eastern Star, Dr. Van Ham and entire hospital staff; also, those who sent flowers, cards, and viaita from friends. Beulah Gordon The family of Dallas J. Miller wishes to express their grateful thanks for the expression of sympathy, floral offerings, food, cards, money and memorial contributions during our recent bereavement. A special thanks to the A.

F. and A. M. Lodge 733 for across the face of the moon, transforming the pure white into a hellish crimson. By 9:15 nearly half of the moon has been invaded by the earth's shadow.

It seems to hang suspended, half lustrous white, half deep red, a cosmic metamorphosis of Jekyll into organism went undetected in the public water supply. Because of this pressing need to protect the American people from the effect of environmental pollution while we attack its causes and restore the purity of our land, air and water, I have introduced the Health Hazards of Pollution Act. Quite simply, this legislation would require the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to begin immediately three parallel inquiries: first, a study of the nature and gravity of the health hazards created by air, water, and other common pollution; second a survey of the medical and other assistance available to persons affected by pollution; and third, a survey of the measures, outside of pollution abatement, that may be taken to avoid or reduce the health hazards that lurk in the pollution. At the completion of his inquiries and within nine months of the bill's enactment, the Secretary would report his findings, evaluations and recommendations to the Congress. I would hope that this report would result, as did both the Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health and the Secretary's Report on Pesticides and the Environment, in a forthright, dispassionate and authoritative treatment of a vital health question.

This report is needed because of what we do not know about the effects of pollution. We must begin to take action now. We must coordinate those health resources which are available to us. We must move now, not just to protect the balance of our ecology, but also to protect the lives and health which that imbalance has put in danger. Reality forces us to admit that undoing the years of ecological neglect will also take years, years of concentrated effort.

But we have a responsibility to protect our fellow man from the effects of our neglect. the Masonic services. The family of Buferd Ferguson sincerely wishes to thank each and everyone for the acts of kindness and thoughtfulness given our father and a special thanks to Rev. R. S.

Richards. The Ferguson Family I would like to thank everyone for the cards, flowers and visits while I was a patient in Burnham City Hospital and to Rev. Youck for his visits and prayers.

Mrs. Esther Cjarriw i Recent headlines have indicated the scope of the problem, but cannot reflect the personal dangers of pollution to the individual. "Rain Saves Smog -beset City" entitled an article about the possible ban on private autos in the metropolitan area to reduce the pollution caused by atmospheric inversion which keeps the smoke and exhaust from rising.

It did notqnjmtion the allergy sufferers wtyrwould be subjected to severe reactions, the thousands of people who would endure stinging, watering eyes, coughing or sore throats. "Two Scientists Warn Hill or 'Mercury- Epidemic' detailed the danger of poisonous mercury build up in the system from eating many kinds of fish. The same evidence has led Scandinavian countries to ban the sale of all non deep water fish, and to discourage use of fish in the diet more than once a week. As recently as 1934, the average person's weekly intake of mercury was 35 micrograms. Today the average intake would be 300 micrograms on a vegetarian diet; 350 with "a little meat," and as high as 750 micrograms on a diet of highly contaminated fish.

The most dangerous fish have been banned from interstate commerce and the Great Lakes states have taken aggressive action, but a great deal of work is left to be done to protect the unwary from mercury poisoning. These are merely two examples of the health hazards of pollution. The years have shown many others and their severity. In previous periods of atmospheric inversion many have died 4,000 in London in 1952, 62 in the Meuse Valley of Belgium in 1930, 22 in Donora, in 194ft and scores in New York City around Thanksgiving Day in 1966 because public officials failed to create air pollution emergency plans.
