Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 8, 1972, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free mess monday May a 1972 water too pure or John Lehman London up during the 19th Century doctors and social reformers fought to establish a connection Between water and disease and Little More than a Century ago. The cheap and abundant water supplies most people now take for granted were unknown in most cities. The reformers succeeded and pure water came widely available for Domestic uses and sewage disposal. The results were dramatic. Glasgow had 4.000 deaths from cholera in 1832 and Al most As Many in 1849 and 1853 Only 55 in the great Epi Demic of. 1806, the year after the completion of a scheme bringing water to the City from the scottish Highlands. Now doctors and scientists Are beginning to wonder whether pure water really is beneficial. Their anxiety arises because of the heavy toll of certain heart diseases in towns using soft water. Most water supplies have a hardness Between 50 and 500 parts of dissolved salts per million depending on the local geological conditions. In recent years it has been noticed in Many countries including the United states. Britain Sweden Canada and Japan that the death Rale from heart disease is higher in areas with soft water than in areas with hard water. Some of the most interest ing research into this problem has been done or. Mar Garet Crawford and her col leagues at the medical re search Council s social medi Cine unit working in the Lon Don school of Hygiene and tropical Medicine. In a sur vey of 61 Large towns in Brit Ain or. Crawford s team found a convincing relation ship Between water hardness and the death rate from heart disease. In eight towns with soft water the death rate from heart disease was nearly 40 per cent higher than in seven towns with hard or moderately hard water. In Glasgow which has the softest water of any Large City in the world the death rate from heart Dis ease is about 50 per cent higher than in London which has hard water. Water is not the Only Factor involved. As regards sugar and fats has also been implicated but no firm conclusions have yet been reached. Water How Ever is More easily studied. Changing the hardness of a town s water Supply might seem a rather drastic Experiment but or. Crawford s re searches show that the Experiment has already been done for other reasons in several parts of Britain. Where housewives have complained of hard. Water local authorities May have re sorted to artificial softening of the water Supply chemical methods. In other towns Boundary changes or natural growth in population has led to the development of fresh sources of water sometimes softer and sometimes harder than those previously in use. Reviewing the death rates from heart diseases in towns where water supplies have been changed or. Crawford obtained a significant result. The rate of increase of deaths from heart disease is Gener ally below average in towns where the water has been hardened and substantially above average in towns where the water has been softened. The research workers Are organizing a Survey for the analysis of drinking water in 12 British with hard and six with soft water. These studies Are concerned particularly with the concentration of Trace elements such As Lead cadmium Zinc cop per chromium and Man Are thought to related to a number of important human diseases. One clue is of particular in Terest. Soft water dissolves Lead from Domestic piping much More than hard water because in hard water areas the inside of the pipes soon becomes coated with a Deposit which protects the surface of Mph Al to to Thorn fro Rule a Rev. Sible that people living in soft water areas absorb More Lead than those in hard water areas. Most of these ideas Are still speculative but heart disease now is he major killer in Many Industrial count Iris. Or.

The shrines at the circus Ralph walk los it was a gala night out Satur Day for Khartum Temple and it w a s thoroughly enjoyed thousands of adults who accompanied their children to the 39th annual shrine circus in the Winnipeg Arena. Not least of the splendours was the Parade of Khartum shrine units with banners flying Drums throbbing trumpets blaring motorcycles and bag pipes. This was All done under the watchful Eye of Robert p. Spear of Winnipeg illustrious potentate of Khartum Temple and president of r. E. Spear of Canada Ltd. Or.

Storage at port held Grain key deaths Vancouver up Grain problems will remain part of the Vancouver scene u n 1 s extra storage facilities Are built at a Cost of s80 million to million a senior Canadian wheat Board official says. I am sick and tired of the grains Industry in this country always having to dig itself out of a Hole and having to catch Norman Hope the wheat Board s transportation chief said in a recent interview. Changes have taken place he said but they Haven t been big enough changes especially in Vancouver. What Vancouver needs he said is extra storage facilities or As he puts it surge capacity minimum. In february and March Canada was 24 million bushels behind in its Export commitments. One result was that dozens of ships Rode at Anchor in Van Couver s English Bay waiting for train loads of Grain to arrive from the Prairies. Or. Hope s answer is construction of extra storage Eleva tors to hold Between 10 million and 30 million bushels of wheat. What if they Are not built the credibility of an Export country to meet its commit ments is important to sales. These countries that Are going to buy from us Are Only going to come Here if they can get de livery of the Quality products they want. What we have to Auldrick.
