Since contamination is increas
ing and once it gets into the
water table it may travel just
a few feet a month it may be
just reaching your water source
now. Although your house has
not burned down, you still car
ry fire insurance as a protection
against possible future loss.
Your water source presents a
similar picture—protecting it
agamsc future contamination is
a form of insurance sound
health insurance.
WHEN WATER IS MAT
CLEAR, COLD AND
GOOD TASTING. TRllpf
IT IS SAFE 1
Many people associate safe wa
ter with its clarity, but this is
a dangerous standard since the
bacteria that contaminate water
cannot be seen, smelled or tast
ed. A glass of sparkling c’ear
untreated water may be deadly
without any suspicious sign at
all.
Dechlorinates with fine filtration can assure your family's health w
the early years of the pro
giam, Mr Groft said, but
the 1958 clip is estimated at
241 million pounds, the high
est since 1947
The 1959 clip is expected
to be still larger.
Number of stock sheep and
lambs on farms and ranches
on January 1, 1959 were up
four per cent from a year
earlier and were the largest
since 1948 Ewe lambs were
up eight per cent.

A STREAM ALWAYS NOT
PURIFIES ITSELF ’TDTTCf
OVER A DISTANCE tIvUJII
A stream can become fresh ac
cording to its freedom from
sewage and its ability to absorb
oxygen from the air. Isolated
mountain streams with rocky
bottoms naturally absorb more
oxygen than slow sluggish
streams and may be 'safe. But
ordinary streams near civiliza
tion do not have a chance, to
purify themselves and are defi
nitely not safe to drink from
A'l surface water should -be
sterilized (chlorinated or boil
ed) before drinking.
LABORATORY TESTS NOT
INSDRE COMPLETE .
PROTECTION 1 KUlii
“Bacteriological analyses show
the presence or absence of con
tamination in the collected
sample only. They therefore
serve merely as an indication
of the safety of the water sup
ply at the time collected... . .
Sole reliance in determining
the safety of water supplies can
not be placed on the resuhs of
infrequent bacteriological an
alysis . . ”

Higher Profits
Shown by Meat
Packers in ,58
In 1958, the American
meat packing industry estab
lished a new record of $13,-
205 million in sales (whole
sale value), an increase of
eight per cent over 1957.
Industry-wide profits in
creased to $B2 million, four
per cent above the 1957 to
tal of $79 million. Those fig
uies were reported in the
1958 edition of “Financial
facts About the Meat Pack
ing Industry,” published by
the American Meat Institute.
The amount paid by the
industry for livestock and
other raw materials increas
ed from $3 890 million in
’57, to $9,850' million in ’5B.
The report, claims increas
ed profits reported by the in
dustry resulted from reduc
tions in operating expenses
which included such items as
wages and salaries, supplies
and containers, transporta
tion and interest charges.
Charges for taxes and depre
ciation were slightly .higher
in 1958 than-4n 1957.
The annual report showed
that the-net worth of the
meat packing industry in ’5B
was estimated at $1,500 mil
lion, up five per cent from
1957 and 2fi-pcr cent more
than the 1947-58 average.
