He manufactures sewer pipe among other kindred con- crete products. Mr. Fleming said the question of proper and adequate sanita- tion facilities is one that affects the health and welfare of every individual. The recent newspaper publicity given to pollution along the great lakes and rivers may have left the impression that the problem is something new. It actually has affected the lives of humans down through the ages. "Man has always establ his permament communiti ar a source of fresh water. Without it he could not survive. Ultimate- ly, every drop becomes waste. Some is highly polluted, is al- ways offensive, often dangerous, sometimes deadly. "Its disposal soon becomes a public problem, growing more acute as the community grows," said Mr. Fleming.

In Nagoya, the see city of Japan, where Miss Hawkins lives, the work has been devoted] to rebuilding. Before the war] there were four churches in Japan. When she returned there was only one church left. She| said Christianity is gradually { gaining. Former members were now returning to the church in|, The accommodation at Church is now Nagoya.

About 300 children, mostly from non-Christian homes attend. They are receptive to the teach- ing and often bring their influence to bear on parents and older sis-| ters and brothers. | MANY NON-CHRISTIANS She said Buddhism and Shin- toism still has many, many fol- lowers. Since the Emperor pub- licly declared that he was no longer to be considered divine, shrines are used mostly for wed- dings. The two religions are still quite strong in Japan. There are over 100 new sects in Japan. While many Protestant groups hold mass meetings. Miss Hawkins added that church unity is possible in Japan, as evidenc- ed by the groups working and worshipping together.
