Fight Pollution With Unity
This is a challenge to "Whom It May Concern." And
it concerns every resident of West University, Place and
the Southwestern section. The Times has revealed in the
past several weeks that the drainage ditch is polluted. Frank
Metyko with the Harris County Health Unit believes the
polluted waters of the ditch may be a source of polio and
other diseases. The Times has learned and printed facts
about a negro colony just north of West University Place
with pig pens and other unsanitary conditions contributing
to the pollution of the drainage ditch.
Many residents of West University have reported that
heavy rainfall causes sanitary sewers to overflow, backing
up human waste into the neighborhood.
Whatever the cost, these undesirable conditions MUST
be corrected. The health of our children and ourselves is at
stake and no cost should be spared to correct the unsanitary
conditions.
The West University Civic Club at its meeting tonight
will discuss ditch pollution and other health hazards. It is
urgent that a large and representative crowd be present to
participate. Let us hope the group will bring enough pres-
sure to bear to correct the evils.
If one child is spared the torture of a polio-twisted
body, if one family is spared the anguish of seeing a little
one suffer, then the cost—regardless of the amount—will
be small.
It is hoped that the onset of cooler weather will check
the spread of polio for the season. But what about next
summer? >
This is a time when all should cast aside political affilia-
tions, aspirations for personal glory or other selfish motives
and unite behind a common cause. Let's eliminate any and
every possible health hazard—and we can do it if we work
together.
