But there was soon no place to put it. The cities and towns smelled so. And man said "It is good." Long after man had died the smog soon left and you could 'see and breathe. The water washed all the garbage onto shore where it was cleaned away and once again the water was a clear blue ,colour. The piles of rubbish turned to mountains and- grew grass. And God said "It is good." Man no longer reigned the earth to pollute and destroy. it. Once more there was life, but not for man. He had had his chance but now he was dead. Third Prize - What on Earth Is Happening To Our Air? Only a few years ago people thought of air pollution 'as just being smoke or soot but today many other materials are known to be involved. ; Some of the pollution comes from oil and gasoline. Some comes from the new factories that produce modern fabrics -and wonder drugs. In years to come there will be many other causes of air pollution because of the newer sources of energy anny the increasing ways of 'modern life. So the problem goes on and on. A good definition of air pol- lution is: "Contamination of the air by waste prdducts of the activities of man." How does all this pollution get into, the air? one person might answer that it is, from burning which is man's basic m.Ahod of producing power. What harm does air pollu- tion do? Well it rots and soils clothes, it discolours bright house paint, it rust's Metals, it mars monuments and public buildings, it cuts Own visibility and can ground a' plane if the air is too polluted. Air •pollu- tion can also affect cropS but most important is that it men- aces human health. • ' It -affects us by making our eyes ,Water and blurring bur. EVen worse than that though, it can Upset your breathing. You may make an effort to breathe and you - may not get all the oxygen your body needs to stay healthy. The effectiveness ,of the en- forcing of the new laws deal- ing with air pollution depends' on you. You and your community must be the watchdogs that guard your interests..

The following are the suc- cessful essays: First Prize - Shirley McFadden WHAT IS POLLUTION AND WHO ARE THE POLLUTERS? Pollution began with the ad- vent of development in this coun- try. 'Probably one of the first forms of pollution by early set- tlers was the erection of saw mills o n our many streams. The sawdust from the mills was deposited into the streams kill-• ing the fish. As the country continued to develop, cities be- gan to gather mostly in the area of streams, or in close location to large bodies of water. As these cities progressed sewage, various industrial wastes, and chemicals were dumped directly into our waterways. In fact some of the larger cities bordering on the ocean actually deliver gar- bage by special boatS into Ake sea. .The pulp and paper ind- ustry with the wide use of chem- ical bleaches have polluted and killed all the stream life in our creeks. Due to new agriculture techniques enormous amounts of fertilizer eweed and insect spray havQ doze much to the harmful contamination of waterways. our own Department of Highways by the use of calcium chloride and salt has lately raised the salt content of our rivers and lakes. As a result,. we have 111-smell- ing . and 'tasting chemical and bacteria ridden water to drink,' which could cause poor health and even.death. Another -element involved in pollution is air. One of the first indications of air pollution was, the burning of large quantities of coal for heating homes, build- ings, power plants, locomotives: and other uses. With the use of the automobile, trucks and die- sel loCornotives, air pollution increased. In recent year's, the burning 'of low grade fuel by jet aircraft has added to the problem. Heavy industrial dev- elopment in this country, such added as smelting, oil re ping, chem- ical producing plant have many 'harmful poisonous chem- icals to our atmosphere. In addi- tion to this process of burning various fuels, large quantities of oxygen are , consumed. Fin- ally, this._ type of . air pollution means that we have dirty, smoky, chemically poisonOus low oxygen count air which we must breathe. This is Very injurious to our health also. There is also another kind of. pollution less common to the public. We live in an ever in- creasing noisy environment. in the streets and highways you have • the constant roar of internal combustion enginges, screaming brakes, and the general rumble -of the traffic. In the buildings, air condi- tioning equipment hums away steadily. Industrial noises occur in mines., founderies and in al- most every factory to a degree that conversation is alMoSt im- possible. In the air, we 'have ear-splitting sounds of jet air- crafts. In the- homes- is the ring-, ing of phones, the entertainment provided on T.V. ,with its unex- pected sound -effects assisted by record players, radios and other home appliances. It has been known for a long time that cer- tain noises damage the hearing capabilities of„humans. Many years ago when num- erous creatures including man himself, roamed throughout the land, nature did a wonderful job of keeping the whole environ- ment clean. As man, the des., troyer, began to utilize the great things on earth, he developed various wastes which he scat- tered about the face of the earth and air and water thus creat- ing a situation commonly re- ferred to -today as POLLUTION. SedOnd Prize - Kim McCaffrey WHO ARE THE POLLUTERS? The worst polluter in the world is man. In the beginning man saw the trickling blue waters and said "If we put our wastes` here the water will wash it away." After long periods, the clear blue water was nowhere to be seen. And man said "It is good." When ,we saw the blue sky and white clouds, he said "If" we let our smog rise up, the wind will blow it away." But soon a heavy dark blan- ket fell over the city; birds cold no longer fly, and man said "It is good". The greasy green fields pleased him so he said "We Win awards •in Ausable yfield Authority contest SAVE NTRODUCTORY OFFER!
