THE VALUE OF TIME

          Time and tide wait for none - goes the proverb. The proverb says the importance of time. In fact, value of time in our life is great. Life is short, but responsibilities are huge indeed. So, if we do not use time properly, we cannot complete our work in our short life-time. We have to leave behind a lot of works undone. So every moment of our lift is precious. We may get our lost wealth by labour, Lost health by medicine and food, but time once lost, is never gained. Indeed, to kill time means to kill future. This is true to every sphere of life. Prosperous nations are those that do not waste any moment. We, the Indians, should learn lessons from them.

Arsenic, a poisonous substance, when used, poses serious problem then. Moreover, effluents and garbage released by mills and factories, containing arsenic also contaminate water. Those who drink and use arsenic water suffer from many diseases. Some districts of West Bengal are arsenic prone. The problem becomes acute when the ground-water level goes down in hot summer days. Many voluntary organizations, with their limited resources, have come forward to help the villagers.-But, the Government should take proper steps to supply pure water to all arid save the victims of the poison.
