<br />H.G. BERTHELSON <br /> <br />He will do his graduate work on Colorado water, jlamely, transmountain diversions from the <br />western slope to Denver. <br /> <br />Now, this great and expensive effort to get more water for metropolitan use is something that <br />really needs our attention. It has long since been overdone. Even a dumb rancher, there may not be <br />any other kind but for the sake of emphasis I will use it, knows that you can put too many sheep in a <br />band or too many cattle in a pasture. Under such conditibns the strong ones do alright but the weak <br />ones suffer. This same lesson can be applied to people so why does our society provide for or condone <br />the bunching of so many people in one place? You get the water and then you get the people and then <br />the metropolitan area has troubles: air pollution, public transportation, schools, welfare and a multi- <br />tude of others. Surely this advanced society of ours can : figure out a better way for people to live. <br /> <br />The moral to this story is shut the water off. Thi~ will disperse the people. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />-20- <br />
