Delegates Relate Experiences
Don't Be Too Sensible
I'm getting tired of "sensible" people. There ought
to be a law against them. Or a society in opposition. Or at
least an investigation of their so-called sense.
You know the kind cf people I mean. Theey are the
ones who are "realistic." They don't stick their necks out—
for a cause, or a friend, or an ideal. They are the ones wno
are always drawing back. They are cautious. Every time
any one wants to do anything different, they say "be careful."
And thei people I am hitting are those who avoid
taking'sides because they might want to use someone on
each/side. They never stand up for anyone—except themselves in a cautious scrt of way. They may have principles,
but they conceal them admirably. Someone might object.
You know some of the "sensible" ones with whom
we have been afflicted. D,o you remember those who applauded the appeasement at Munich? Do you remember
those who let Hitler get away with murded' (literally speaking)/ because he might say "boo" if they objected? Do you
Remember these who turned away when Russia started to
gobble up small nations? (Could it have been fear of the
Russian bear-that-walks-like-a-man that motivated them?)
There are some "sensible" folk who object to a man
being asked if he is a Communist. His feelings might be
hurt at the question — and besides it is just as though you
asked him if he were a Democrat ,or a Republican. (I never
met any one who was too ashamed of being a Democrat or
a Republican to say so. Did you?) ,
You probably have a few sensible people in your own
community. You know the ones who hamper and hinder
everything that is put forward. No, they aren't GaspW
Milquetoasts. They are just "sensible" pepp.e. Laok outifor,
them — and don't be so "sensible" yourself that you refuse
to look ahead, or to stand, up for the principles and the
people in which you believe!
Individual Responsibility
Give a motorist an automobile and the open road,
and he sometimes forgets rimself. Maybe itfs all part of
being an individual and pushing aside responsibilities. But
it all fits in the highway safety picfllire.
Some persons — in and out of government — have
taken pleasure recently in putting the blame for highw y
deaths chiefly on the automobile industry. The critics say
the answer to it all is for the companies to build whac they
(the critics) describe as "safer cars." They're wrong,
They've forgo.ten the individual driver.
Too often the role iof the motorist in highway safety
discussions -is dismissed- or placed far back -in .impprvancei
Actually;-it \is a.tnajof coirsideration. iNo mat.eriiaW'aeita;
ihcbiles-'are -biiihr and highways designed, the: speeder,. the
drinking driver and. the motorist who fails to keep his car
in good repair will be a menace. One national news magazine recently reported that a study of 3,018 deatrs on T&_j_
highways in 1965 showed "lihat in 42 per cent of the accidents, the driver was speeding; in 37 per cent drinking was
a, factor, and 12 per cent of the drivers didn't even have
_ license. The magazine's report added that nationally, mos
authorities agree, that only 20 per cent of all accidents don't
involve some degree of error.
This all means, we think, that motorists cannot look
elsewhere for a big answer to highway safety. It has to
s'art wiih the man, woman or teenager behing the wheel,
hopefully with his seat belt buckled. Stricter laws and enforcement, batter driver licensing procedures, improved
driver training- courses for high school stuuents and all
practicable improvements in tre car itself will help. But
many are convinced it will be the individual motorist wno
will supply the major breakthrough.
Motorists have a responsibility %o each other. No
one else can assume itf. We enjoy freedom of speech but
caniibt abuse it. This privilege, for instance, gives us no
license to run into a theatre and yell "f.re" when there is
niohe. The same goes for the privilege of having a driver s
license. It, is no permit to kill or main through misjudgment
and carelessness.
A Shortage Of Nurses
Talk about a chronic shortage iof doctors has been
given new impetus by awareness that the Medicare program
will place heavier demands on the nation's medical.facil.t-es.
Though this shortage is real, and apparently is desined to!
become more severe because medical demands are rising
fas"ler than the medical school's output of new doctors, it is
tltft the only shortage that demands attention.
Tne reference is to the fact that, although more nwses
than ever are en the job now, the need for more of them is
acute. Jfo.: titicy Pe'ry Leone, who recently retired as assistant surgeon general, describes the nursing shortage as
"critica}." Thete s little reason to dispute that judgment.
It -is not:entirely a bad thing that there is a crying
out, reflects increased demand by "advances in medical sciences during the past three decades." Addi ional nurses are
need for more nurses. The shortage, as Mrs. Leone pointed
^quired:,b6<s£uae ithe nursa of today is capable of dojjig
more than *&as^jsoible even in the recent past. To illustraije

/as elected city attorney in
:*Cary" city. She was responsive for composing a city charter
md city ordinances.

md to learn about all the offices

Nalco Co.
Report Is
Released
City Administrator Weldon
C. Page last week revised
the . Nalco Chemical ComL
pany's report on the analysis
of the city's w.ater. |
Nalco, a Chicago firm, was
contacted by city officials
several months ago to analyze the water and provide
recommendations for both
temporary and long-range
improvements. ,
"The report confirms my belief than we can do much more
chan we are presently doing
without a central pumping and
treating   plant," Mr.   Page  said.
He stated that he plans to
recommend that council include
in next year's budget funds for
a complete consulting engineering study, which would include
possible sites for a plant, cos=t
of construction and operation and
plans for a distribution system.
"A population growth study
would also be needed so the system would be adequate for 25 to
30 years," he added.
The city is currently treating
water with a chemical added at
each individual week, which holds
iron in .suspension for approximately 30 hours, Mr. Page said.
The Nalco report states that total
iron concentrations in the city's
water are "appreciably above"
the maximum "recommended
under U.S. Public Health drinking water standards.
Foresees Central
Water Softening
A central plant would make
water softening possible, he said,
and would eliminate the need f or
individual home softeners, pur-
■chase of salt and replacement of
appliances and plumbing which
are corroded by the hard water.
The cost of softening would be
small, he explained, but plant
facilities would be expensive:
several additional men would
have to be hired, and another
water tower or two might be
necessary.  .
Mr. Page said funds could be
obtained through issuance of
long range bonds, and by increasing water rates.
The new system 'could probably not become-a reality much
earlier than about three and one-
half years, he said, even if the
survey, which would take about
six months, were begun early
next year. Construction and cut-
over of facilities would take several years, he estimated.
