extracted text: NEW DISTILLATION PROCESS FEASIBLE The recently announced thin film water dis tillation process, developed by the General Elec tric Company of the United States, has now been proved feasible for use by cities and industrial concerns. With General Electric’s distillation process, salt or brackish water is literally ‘wiped” in a very thin film by wiper blades over the inside surface of a heat transfer tube. Heat from steam passing over the outside fluted surface of this tube causes the inside film of feed water to eva porate. The' vapor produced is then condensed to pure, fresh water. Previous experiments by General Electric with a full-scale engineering model of the thin film unit also demonstrated the value of the con cept for marine applications where restrictions of size and weight are critical. * ♦ ♦ tion of public servants we shall look to the youth of new vision, cherishing better and higher values. Our fu ture government must be in the hands of the young whose highest standards of public performance are the virtues of justice and learning. The goals of human society are easily set. It is the realiz ing of them that is difficult. Among these goals may be social justice, peace, and hap piness of the people. But peace, as the Schoolman said, is the fruit of justice, and peace is a precondition of happiness. No justice can be realized if the government is not just, and the govern ment cannot be just if every official is not just; and ulti mately the justice of every single official may be traced back to the just or corrupt life in which he privately lives. The future officials of our government must be men of the highest probity in their private lives. They shall be men who are more concern ed how they would appear to their conscience than to the public. These are the men who will value honor more than money and wisdom and love of justice above all things. This is seed-time for the Filipino nation; and the har vest of human good can be ours in the modest compass of our country if we are first 52 Panorama
