OUR HERITAGE
Rabbi Samuel Rosenblatt of
Beth Tefilo Congregation of
Baltimore, son of the late Can-
tor Joseph Rosenblatt, who is the
author of several important vol-
umes published by the Columbia
University Press and Johns Hop-
kins Press, has just released a
series of his sermons under the
title "Our Heritage". This vol-
ume was published by Bloch Pub-
lishing Co. and is a splendid ad-
dition to Jewish homiletic lit-
erature.
"The underlying philosophy of
Judaism," as the author describes
it in his preface, is ably defined
in these sermons which are
Even the best must own that grouped in the sections of the

pillars of human peace on earth. Lord" and "Understanding of
the Bible."

"The progress made in the field
of taste and odor removal from
water has been considerable when
it is realized that only slightly
over a decade ago no satisfactory
treatment of wide application for
obtaining a taste-free water was
known," Harrison wrote.
"While the granular carbon
system has been used in small in-
stallations in household filters and
in industrial plants, large scale
installations in water purification
plants are still few. As far as
can be found, the first large in-
stallation was placed in service in
the Bay City filteration plant in
1930."

ation plant, in a recent issue of
the Journal of the American
Water Works association.
Under Harrison's directions, the
Bay City plant in 1930 was the
first major municipal filteration
unit in the country to use this
method of treating water.
Lauded for Foresight
Commenting in the publication
on this pioneering work, A. S.
Behrman, chemical director of the
International Filter Co., of Chi-
cago, writes:
"It required a great deal of
courage on Mr. Harrison's part
in 1930 to make the first large
municipal installation of granular
activated carbon for the removal
of tastes and odors.
"The results have amply jus-
tified Mr. Harrison's courage and
foresight. The plant was complete-
ly successful from the very first,
and has been operating success-
fully ever since under Mr. Harri-
son's competent direction.
"Mr. Harrison has made sub-
stantial contributions in this field
by his work at Bay City . . .
which should help to clarify the
proper place of granular activated
carbon in the water purification
picture."
Harrison's paper deals mainly
with the plant and laboratory ex-
periences with this method of pur-
ification here since 1930.
"The treatment at present (in
Bay City) consists of reducing
the taste with powdered activated
carbon to as low as a threshold
odor as possible and then passing
the conditioned filtered water
through the granular carbon
units," according to the Bay City
filteration superintendent.
superintendent.
"This treatment results in a
water that is entirely free of ob-
jectionable taste and odors and
also a water stable, as far as
tastes are concerned, in the city
remains. The final effluent is treat-
ed with chlorine ammonia."
As a result of this work, Bay
City water is generally credited
with being of the highest stand-
ard and taste and ordor in the
city's water supply has been kept
will under control.
