In recent years, there has developed
an increasing public awareness of the
vitality of fresh water to the main-
tenance of a quality environment. In
regard to water quality, the ranks of
the liyman are fastly being absorbed
into the camps of the pollutionist, con-
servationist, preservationist, or just
plain protestationist.
Nearly everyone, be they informed,
misinformed, or uninformed has a defi-
nite opinion regarding all real, appar-
ent, or pseudo water quality issues.
This new brand of "awareness" has
cast some doubt as to the usability of
the classic formula for pure water,
H2 0 -two parts hydrogen and one
part oxygen. Perhaps it is now time
to drop the reference to pure water,
and start to refer to H2 O2-two parts
hydrogen, one part oxygen, and one
part OPINION.4

--Over the protests of Earnest Whitaker, Sun Oil Company completed this water
supply well (in freeze-protecting box in near background) on Whitaker's Hockley
County farm.Mohammed's two-day visit to the
District was part of a tour, arranged by
Lew Seward, Assistant Chief Engineer,
Texas Water Development Board, and
Professor Carl Morgan, Texas Univer-
sity, that was to include visits with
several water agencies in Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona.
The eldest child of a family of 13
children, Mohammed will soon be re-
turning to his homeland, to enter the
civil service of the Yemenite Govern-
ment. He was very impressed with
the agricultural practices he observed
in the High Plains area-noting that
we feed cattle the same grains (grain
sorghum) that are consumed by his
people. In Yemen, they pull the
leaves from the grain sorghum plant
for feeding to cattle, mill and prepare
a bread from the grain, and use the
stalks as firewood.
