'A World Os Opportunity'
It’s a treat this week to read and hear so many good things about area teenagers who are members of a real go-go group—l-H. During National 4-H Week, we join the nation in saluting nearly three million of the finest boys and girls anywhere in the world. 4-H’ers are always on the go—both at home and abroad. The spread of 4-H to 75 foreign countries is further proof that the “learn-by-doing” program for youth is sound and successful. Parents of 4-H members are on the go, too. They volunteer as club or project leaders; serve as judges of projects such as livestock, clothing, safety, health and scores of others. They chauffeur members to meetings, fairs, camp and social events. They “finance” projects that require a cash outlay to get started. They encour-

The Shankland car was knocked 114 feet, hitting a Now York Central railroad flasher post and overturning at the tracks. The Beer auto spun around 37 feet and came to a stop on its wheels on the northeast corner of the intersection. Both cars, valued at $1,250, were a total kiss.

Letters To The Editor
A Matter Os Terminology
Dear Editor: There is misuse of the term “water pollution”. It is often used in reference to our lakes* prolific weed growth when the correct term fe “eutrophication”. Eutrophication can be defined in general terms as the aging or maturing process which occurs in all natural bodies of fresh water. Dr. Gerard A. Rohlich, director of the University of Wisconsin’s water resources center, writes in the Industrial Water Management magazine (June ’67 issue) that the words pollution and eutrophication should not be used synonymously. He explains, however, that some types of pollution accelerate eutrophication such as water being polluted by nitrogen and phosphorous, the nutrients which increase algae and aquatic weed growth. . Uoyd Taylor, city engineer for South Bend, spoke recently to the Goshen Chamber of Commerce and

more recently to the American institute of plant engineers. In both | addresses, Mr. Taylor dealt with the seriousness of this common misunderstanding. A body of water can be pollution free, according to a board of health standard, yet contain enough of the colorless, tasteless nutrients to encourage a body of water to abound with weeds and be unsuitable for recreational purposes. In Time magazine (August *66 issue) one reads in an article' on conservation, “A lake dies of eutrophication, or quite simply, overnourishment. With or without humans, accumulations of sewage draining its way through the earth feeds a lake with nitrate and phosphate nutrients. After a few centuries or a millennium, a meadow sits where a lake once sparkled. In his wanton wfllfid way, man can speed up this process to mere decades. Among other conspicuous

firsts, Americans are without equal as nature’s vandals-by-indiffer-ence.” Dr. Rohlich listed in his article five alternative ipethods aS remedial approaches to minimize eutrophication: 1. Divert sewage or other nutrient sources away from a lake. 2. Dredge bottom muds containing concentrated nutrients. 3. Harvest weeds or algae. 4. Use chemicals to control algae growth. 5. Remove all nutrients from waste water prior to discharge. In view of the above information quoted by notable sources, I believe that many of us should review our thinking co weed control versus pollution and concentrate on an overall solution.

It’s pulled by four small tractors. Hie first place queen convertibles were hard to choose, all were beautifully decorated. The Maple Leaf Farms car had small ducks covered with real feathers and The M-J float was made almost entirely of newspapers. while C. S. Myers’ float featured giant floral arrangements. They tell us a dapper young man in a gay 90’s outfit stepped from a Model A Ford to direct the Milford high school band. Mr. Judkins and his band did a good job and won a first place award. Joining the parade were Paul Disher and Ted Brooks in Myers’ old truck and Dean Baker and Stan Price in the old Model A owned by the garage. Swinging out on the organ was Milford fifth grade teacher Richard Fehnel. He did a good job at both the queen coronation and the style show. Mrs. Paul Sands served as announcer for the style show.

THE SUMNERS VISIT EXPO 67 Dear Editor: Just arrived home, tired but happy, after a delightful trip through Canada and the New England states. Our first interesting stop was 40 miles from Expo 67, Deux Montagnes, where we stayed in the home of a French-Canadian — our initial initiation into the French speaking world of Quebec Province. Each morning we boarded the train and travelled to Montreal afleng with the commuters, straining our ears to attime to the very fast patter of French-Canadian .jargon — much different from our stilted and correct college French. Occasicnally we dared a timid “Bon Jour” or “Merci” and at times even dared‘a short conversation, always with a great sense of accomplishment. Disembarking from the train we spent a little time in the city before plunging into the bowels cf the underground, boarding the new “Metro” and being whisked away to the middle of Le Fleuver Saint - Laurent (the Saint Lawrence river) where afll the excitement of Expo 67 kept us on the run. It is indeed, an unusual and challenging display but we enjoyed every minute and crammed ourselves with knowledge which we trust we will retain for future use. Whenever our feet got to the limit of their usefulness we would board the Expo-express, the Mini-rail or find a grassy slope by the water’s edge. A favorite was our “Nowhere Sail”—we boarded a Viking ship, the "Leif Ericson” and sailed all around the Lac des Regates, arriving back to where we began. Our time at Expo soon passed and very quickly we were entering the old city of Quebec for more fun and walking — up streets and steps, which eventually led to Citadel overlooking the city. There we watched the changing of the guard — so impressive and precise — the band leading the way, their mascot, a white bedecked goat being led around the square and the two groups of soldiers in their bright red uniforms obeying the commands delivered in French and interpreted on the sidelines for the watching crowds. Crossing the St. Lawrence by ferry we then meandered along its banks to the far city of Riviere de Loup where our smattering of French w’as reaflly needed, many of these people having no knowledge of English, whatsoever. New Brunswick followed, really a land of breathtaking beauty, being the northern tip of the Appalachian mountains. Here we were privileged to hear the Rev. Gecrge J. Russell. Saint Andrew’s United church, of Saint John’s on the Bay of Fundy. Later that day we crossed into Nova Scotia, staying the night , in the tiny village of Parrsboro with the famous Bay cf Fundy Tides lapping almost on our doorstep. Next morning we travelled to Truro where we bdield the amazi ing phenomenon of the Tidal Bore — the rushing sound and sight cf I the tide is almost unbelievable and I w'e regretted the fact that we did I not carry a movie camera. After an extensive tour of the southern half of Nova Scotia we ar-
rived in Yarmouth at twilight as busy sailors prepared scores of ships for sailing and then the Figsing Flee! weighed anchor and sailed over the horizan for a night of fishing. The following morning, at dawn, we waited to board the beautiful ship M V. Bluencse and then we were sailing qn a placid sea, the sun shining, the land receding in the distance — when suddenly a cry carried us to the guard rail where we beheld whales spouting and porpoises frisking in the beautiful blue seas. Arriving in our own United States we travelled with the sea visible on our left and the trees and mountains on our right, drinking in th beauty all around us and realizing anew the grandeur of God’s earth. Wandering south w r e visited many of the older cities of our land — Portland, Maine; Boston, Mass, (the easiest city to lose cneself in, which we did several times); Providence, R. I.; and Hartford. Conn.; with many smaller towns interspersed. Crossing the Hudson river in Upper New York state via the Bear Mountain bridge, we thoroughly enjoyed the tree covered mountains until suddenly we were converged' upon on every side as we entered the maze of roads which carry the traffic to and from New York city and the cities of New Jersey. A quick visit with our daughter and family and then we were on our way again, this time alcng the Pennsylvania Turnpike, through the mountain tunnels until, tiring of the highways, we took to the byways and saw many quaint villages; stopping for lunch in Mount Pleasant we discovered the delightful taste of Italian Pasta Fagioli. Quickly cressing the tip of West Virginia we travelled the roads of Ohio, noticing the changing colors of the leaves — truly God’s paint brush is busy once again — and then the familiarity of Indiana’s landmarks and — Home, Sweet Home. It is very wenderful to wander far away, but never so eventful that we would want to stay. Rev. and Mrs. Richard Sumner Mrs. Elizabeth Buser of Milford and Mr. and Mrs. Ebner Haab. Don and Nettie, and Pattie and Bonnie Steffen, all of Syracuse, spent Sunday in Latty, Ohio, with Mr. and Mrs. Ray Sinn and family and Mr. and Mrs. Millard Stoller and family.
