THE PR03LEM 0? POLLUTION There are three major t cpes of pollution: air pollution, water pollution ur J land pollu- tion, which are all caused by man. Air pollution is caused mainly by the gas iven off by cars. This as is called car ben monoxide, a colorless, oderless gas which can cause le nth when there is a shortage of fresh air. The othtr causes are factories power plants and oil and coal burnincr heating unit The gases these give off can cause paint to c ack and fall off houses. Some car companies are manufacturing and install- ing anti-smos controll devices for their ears, Watei pollution is caused mainly by factories dumping waste into rivers and la’ es. A ureit number of cities 'dump their sewage nto the lakes and rivers causing fish to .ie and making water unsafe to dr ok. The other t me cf pollut' on is cause by the trash reople throw out ;hen tney are finish el with it. Lash year people discard so e 50 billion c us, 28 billion jcteles and jars, 30 million tons of paper, Jp million tons of plastic, 6 million cars, and 100 mill on worn out tires. Some of tnesa thngs w 11 rot n a matter of •■'onths ;ut others take years. If nothinv is done, socn we w 11 all be 11ving,brethine an. drinkinv the pollution ive ourselves have created.

THE G34NGE 2 ft Many peoole have asked me, What is the Grange? and Why did you join? I can't de- scribe the Grange realb. It's more then just an organization! To me the Grange means many things-fun, fellowship, filling in the generation pst} and going places. Since I have joined the Grange in December o 19o7 I have learned many things which otherwise, I never have known, I've met many people who, wltbout the Orange I'd never met, I have seen many places, that, without the oo- portunity the Granee has given me, I'd have never seen. I've been the delegate for State Grange Youth CamD twice, and bav,j enjoyed myself both times. Teenagers are there oni throughout the st5 te cf Vermont, Last year we had two delegates from Maine and this year there was one from 1 New York State and one from Connecticut. In the two years I save be- longed to Grange, I've visited Granges all through Vermont, in Newhort, Enosburg, Sheldon, Montgomery, Mount Holly, also Rutland, Castleton a:d 3arre, Mo matter what Grange you visit you're always made welcome. 31VU learned tb t. The Grange hcs many contests throughout the ■vea ’. Sew'ng, Bakins, Dairy . ' 'ueen, Young Couole, Prince and Princess, Square Dancing and others. On July 19, 1 69 T attended the Vermont State Grange Coro- nation in Barre. A.t 3:00 o,m. they started the contest for the Prince and Princess and Young Couples. After the crown- ing there ’was a big Coronation Ball, It was fun f'or everyone. I know what you're thinking titaa':. can the Grange do for me?
