charge of any untreated waste into Ohio streams. This is decidedly tougher than the old law which required the Health Department to step in only when there was a nuisance or menace to health. Another new requirement is imposed by the Ohio Valley Sanitation Compact, a "Treaty" of Ohio and the other states that drain to the Ohio River to enforce standards of treatment that will reduce the pollution of the river. About two-thirds of the State of Ohio drains to the Ohio River. But for fair treatment, the minimum standard for towns and industries in Southern Ohio must be required in Northern Ohio, too.

F. H. Waring, chief engineer of the Health Department, reports that the cleanup is underway, with 80 new sewage-treatment plants planned or being built. The total cost of these projects is about $36 millions. "Worst things come first," says Waring.

"Obviously, the whole cleanup program can't start rolling at the same time. Ohio's biggest city on the Ohio River is Cincinnati, and work on sewage treatment there is moving right along." Bruce McDill, Health Department engineer on sewage treatment, has compiled a map showing Ohio's worst spots for stream pollution. (See above). "Black marks on the map are not the only places where there is pollution," McDill stated. d.

"They show spots about which there has been specific complaint." At larger towns the pollution generally comes from dumping raw sewage into streams. Other places, many of them small towns, have a pollution problem because of some industry that overloads a small stream. fts WHOLE FAMILY HARDWARE IN SHERWOOD for Toys, Wheel Sporting Goods and Want for Christmas CHRISTMAS LIGHTING SETS 8-LIGHT SERIES STRING 69c 7-LIGHT MULTIPLE 15-LIGHT MULTIPLE HOFERT CHRISTMAS TREES ARE ALWAYS BEST 75c $1.00 $1.50 $2.00 Black areas show where there have been complaints about stream pollution.

The Christmas program will be held Christmas Sunday at 9:30. Though the cleanup campaign of Ohio and nearby state will greatly improve conditions, Waring warns that there will be no return to the crystal-clear streams sportsmen talk about. "We can't give Ohio back to the Indians," he asserts. "The towns and farms and industries of 8 million people are bound to make things different from what they were when only a few thousand savages roamed the woods in these parts." Waring is pessimistic about re turning many Ohio streams to safe swimming holes. "The creeks and rivers will be better," he stated, "and we hope Lake Erie can be safe, As a matter of fact, the chances are that many of the swimming holes weren't safe, even when grandpa was a boy.

The modern pool with a treatment plant that supplies water fit to drink is the best bet for today's swimming."
