Pollution debate frames national issue in Gladewater column
The piece argues pollution is a national problem requiring patient effort and broad cooperation, not a sole blame on private industry. It highlights local progress in Gladewater including sewer work, new ordinances, growth plans for 1970, and optimism from Chamber of Commerce leader Mack Wiley and Mayor Melvin Jenkins. It concludes with a note on a historical “blab school” linked to Lincoln biographies.
