   TOWN  HALL
          TALK
   William Wroth's warning
that the continued use of
water at the present rate
would result in a serious
shortage apparently fell
on deaf ears.   The volume
of water being used has
not been appreciably reduced.
   The plants need the wa-
ter, but so do the people.
The rationing of water is
something new to many of
the evacuees who have al-
ways had an unlimited sup-
ply for both domestic and
gardening use.  Rationing
of food was something new
to the American people, but
the adjustment was made.
There is no reason the res-
idents cannot make an ad-
justment in the use of water.
   Water for the people
must be clean and unadul-
terated; the plants can use
dirty water with no ill
effect.    Water is being
used daily for laundry pur-
poses... the rinse water can
be used for the irrigation
of the gardens, the result
being a saving of hundreds
of gallons.  There is no
reason why all this water
should be run down the drain
in the face of a shortage
later in the season.
   All this will only be a
temporary measure, for
work on the irrigational
facilities for the blocks
is under way.

   "I don't think there is
a town in the United States
that equals this record,"
proudly declared Chief of
Police Tomlinson, referring
to our June police record
which shows but one arrest.
And that was for a mild
disturbance of peace.   The
visiting reporters were a-
mazed at the lack of law
infringement within the
center.
              ****
   The deadline for turning
in short-wave radio sets
was last Thursday, but
Chief Tomlinson asks that
anyone who may have forgot-
ten to do so bring the sets
in immediately.   He said
that once he starts a bar-
rack-to-barrack check-up,
anyone caught with a set
will be prosecuted as pro-
vided in the ruling.- K.K.
