S. and State Experts Greater safety of public water supplies, less hazard to bathers and more adequate protection of fis·h life are the objects of a new anti-stream pollution project recently launched by the Illinois state department of public health. Sanitary engineers from the department, accompanied by Dr. W. C. Purdy, eminent biologist and stream pollution expert from the U. S. Public service: at Washington, were busy last week along the Big Muddy river in southern Illinois. From there the sanitarians will go to the Fox river, the next stream on the schedule which involves all important waterways in the state. Comprehensive Plan The Milk of Superior Flavor Milk is a highly perishable product. Only by the greatest of care can its fine sweet flavor, its ricbne·ss and purity be preserved for you. This is particularly true in the hot, sultry days of summer. At this trying time vigilance must be doubly strict. Such vigilance the Bowman Dairy Company exercises without stint. Every step, from the milking of the cow to the pasteurizing, bottling and final delivery is taken only. under the strict supervision of Bowman-trained inspectors. That is why Bowman's Milk reaches your table so rich, so fresh and so superior in flavor. It is milk you can trust·in all weather-every day of the year. Order a bottle today. See how good a good milk can really be. Telephone Wilmette 55 or order from the courteous Bowman milkman who passes your door. · "This effort is the most compre'hensive attempt at stream sanitation ever undertaken in the state," declares Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, in commenting on the project. "Its primary purpose is to add another factor of safety to public water supplies but incidently it will reduce the hazard of water-borne disease to bathers and will tend to promote fish life also. The plan is to make a· detailed study of present conditions of ev.ery important stream in the state and to initia.te measures looking to the correction of all dangerous pollution. "Work on the program is already underway. Two state sanitary engineers, who had the advantage of three days' time of Dr. W. C. Purdi of the U. S. Public Health service, a nationally recognized authority on stream pollution problems, are already . busy on the Big Muddy in Southern Illinois. This river was chosen for the beginning because from it is drawn a larger number of public water supplies per mile than from any other stream in the sta~e. Work on Fox River ! BowMAN DAIRY COMPANY MILK "The next stream on the program is the Fox river. Work will proceed to other streams as rapidly as the personnel will permit and it will continue uninterrupted so long as weather conditions allow. "The modern means of travel that bring into easy access of the automobile owner every town and almost every foot of . waterway make it imperative to throw every possible safeguard around public water supplies and the streams themselves. People from widely different points drink water in the same village or city, fish along the banks of the same creek or river and escape the heat in the same old swimming hole. Typhoid, diarrhea and _other water-borne diseases may be wtdely spread under such conditions if streams are dangero~sly polluted. "The project now in progress will determine the .degree of pollution where it exists, the source of contam~ ination and the means necessary to correction. These data should lead to a significant improvement in the sanitary conditions of the more important streams in the state." ·· CLASS TROPHY GOLF EVENTS .Class championship troppy events wtll be featured at the Wilmette Golf club Saturdayt.
