planting and grading would make an
imposing entrance tothe West Shore
and the effect would no doubt have
its results. Strangers coming to this
vicinity to seek homes, If shown an
imposing entrance to the Fest Shire
OF II there is something good, too. The
improvement would show them that
beyond the bank is a community of
livewires, men and women who favor
development and people who take an
interest in their surroundings. With
this Improvement idea the territory
must grow. New homes will be con-

but one big town over here"
Ralph T.. Schrack, secretary of the
Wormleysburg Borough Council and
one of the men who has worked dill
gently for the erection of the new town
hall, is another improvement advo-
cate and he says that in Wormleys-
burg an organized effort would do
much to benefit the town. He favors
river front improvements. the estab-
lishment of Fairgrounds and cooper
alton with the City Panning Comis-
sion of Harrisburg. In speaking of
the river front Mr.. Schrack said: For
some time past residents along Front
street having been showing much in
terest in improving the river front and
some of them have been doing some
grading and planting. Now, / be-
lieve that if the proper kind of or
ganization were effected we could in
duce residents along the entire front
to adopt n uniform system of planting.
Other persons in the town, too. might
take hand and help by contributing
toward the purchase of shrubbery and
flowers. The river bank needs grad
ing badly at some points and / believe
that the majority of people over here
are willing to have the work done All

aroused. We worked here long time
for a new firenouse and when the in
terest was at its proper height there
was little difficulty in getting what we
wanted. To save some money, too
many of the residents got picks and
shovels and helped quite q bit with the
cellar excavations. If we can continue
the improvement spirit you may see
crowd of us down on the river bank
grading it preparatory to planting
Fairgrounds Possible
Fairgrounds for the children might
be one of the accomplishments of or
| ganization. At the upper end of the
borough there are some plots which
would make great Fairgrounds and
| I'm sure that an improvement organi-
cation could do something toward pro-
curing some of the land for play
grounds. The City Planning Commits
sion in Harrisburg, as I understand,
, is ready to help the West Shore if the
can be issued and l. for one, am in
favor of forming a local organization
and accepting any advice offered by
the Harrisburg planners.
My idea is that each town should
have it's own association. or league.
From time to time things will arise
which will interest all of the towns
A joint meeting of all organizations
could then be called and ] believe that
with such forces lined up there will be
something doing"

Locks of Panama Have
Been Operated Without
Hitch Since the Opening

One of the most strikingly success
full features in the operation of the
Panama Canal is the working of the
great locks. While these were in
course of construction they were the
subject of all sorts of dire and pessi-
mistic prophecies. Certain distin-
guished foreign engineers declared
that they were too unwieldy and too
complicated to work. Others asserted
that the first earthquake would put
them out of commission.
AS a matter of fact, the locks have
literally worked without a hitch. There
has never been an hour of delay in
the operation of the canal, andf there
has never been ship or q man in
jured because of any trouble with
the locks. The ease with which 81
giant steamship is lifted upward 95
feet at Gatun, for instance, is a most
impressive example OF the might of
machinery. Your vessel steams slow
ly between the great concrete walls.
You look back and behind you the
great gates are swinging closed, slowly
and majestically. scarcely making II
ripple in the still waters, tons and
tons of steel and concrete moving al
most without a sound. Then suddenly
the water all about the vessel begins
to bubble exactly as though 1t were
boiling. The great culverts have
been opened and water from Gatun
Lake is pouring in. Almost imper-
ceptibly the great vessel rises, and yet
within three minutes it is thirty feet
above the level of Ahe sea. Another
pair of the giant locks swings open.
The squat. powerful electric towing
engines seize your vessel fore and oft
and creep forward with 1t. You are
ready to begin another step.
If you would like to know all the
facts about the building and operation
of the great Isthmian waterway, as
we'll as the story in detail of the work
ing side of the entire federal govern
ment. YOU should read the two great
patriotic books. THE Panama Canal
