Excerpt:
“In August, 1946, torrential downpours flooded East St. Louis, Ill., and adjoining communities, leaving hundreds homeless. But an even greater menace came in the wake of the flood; as the water receded, pollution from backed-up sewers was left everywhere…disease threatened the entire area!”
