COMMUNITY SERVICE

THE community service during
the war under the auspices of
an organization financed by
those interested in welfare work for
the soldiers is likely to be continued
by community effort all over the
country. Major General Haan de-
clares that the service is so import
ant that it ought to be converted
into a community instead of a Ma
tional organization. He believes
peace-time demands are quite as
important as the needs growing out
of the war period.
Harrisburg is greatly interested in
this matter and has benefited SO
largely from the splendid War Camp
Community activities that a number
of persons are giving serious con-
sideration to a local organization
which will continue the practical
work inaugurated here and carried
on by the War Camp Community
people.

BRING PRICES DOWN

+" o BRING down prices in PENN
sylvania and the country at
large, Attorney General Palmer,
Sproul at the Statewide conference
held at the Capitol yesterday, said
these things are necessary:
To seek out the profiteers and
hoarders.
To work more and produce more.
Perhaps the most important ut
terance of Mr.. Palmer's very con-
structive and enlightening address
was this:
IF the American people will work
ten per cent. more, prices will fall
twenty per cent"
Profiteering and boarding are
evils we all know about, and every
effort of the legal department of the
State and the United States should
be brought to bear against them,
but that alone is not sufficient.
Economists and businessmen have
been preaching increased production
for the past six months as the ono
sure remedy for high living costs,
but leaders of the radical type have
been urging shorter and shorter
working days and higher and higher
wages. Now, the short working day
and increased wages are desirable
when production is meeting all de-
mands, but when the supply is
short, which means that prices are
high, the only way to increase the
supply and bring down the prices is
to work more and produce more.
Mr.. Palmer is right. What we
need at this time is more foodstuffs
and more of the things we use in
our everyday life, and the way to
get them is to work more. Chief
Stone, of the Brotherhood of Eng!-
neers, realized this a month or two
ago when he said that what the
engineers wanted more than higher
wages were lower prices.
So long as wages continue to go
up and working hours continue to
be reduced, so long prices will re-
main high; which means that these
higher wages will be of no ad-
advantage to those who receive them
because they will not buy so much
rs when prices are low.
The conference was we'll worth
while. Good results no doubt will
come from it, if the people hearken
to the timely advice offered and the
Government agencies get busy with
the hoarders and profiteers.

A Good Suggestion
[From the Pennsylvania Farmer1

[From the Pennsylvania FarmerJ
Doctor Finegan, Pennsylvania's
superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, in speaking of needed improve
ments in rural schools, said:
school boards will find that the
Grange Farm Bureau and other or
ganizations directly interested in
the Improvement of rural conditions
will chee.fully cooperate in
movement of this kind. There is no
Question of more concern to those
who live in the rural sections than
the question of health. The health
authorities and the Red Cross will
also cordially cooperate in this
larger movement for the improve
ment of rural conditions If the OPP
portunity is afforded them. School
boards may very appropriately,
therefore, organize this movement
and, by bringing all these various
agencies into cooperation with
them. render a great service not
only to rural communities but to the
Commonwealth as we'll"
Here is good suggestion for
rural school boards and one that
should be acted upon in every To-
cality. We too often find a disposi-
ton on the part of school officers to
ignore the public in questions of
school management. We have never
observed that the elevation of an
ordinary individual to official posi-
ton increased his capacity or judg-
ment to any extent, but it does
sometimes swell his head. The
rural schools would be better than
they are to-day if, long ago, there
had been developed an educational
spirit in the community. This
might easily be accomplished by in
yiting the cooperation of parents
and organizations in planning for
better schools and school equipment.

State records show 1900 cubic feet

sufficient to permit the floating of

river and north branch. and on the
Juniata and west branch 600-ton
barges easily. The flood stages are
usually in the spring and can be
controlled by impounding the head
water in reservoirs built for that
purpose, where the land is not
valuable. The low stages usually
occur in August and September, but
it is never so low as to interfere
with navigation, particularly so
when the flood waters are conserved
and released at the proper time. The

they can be rip-rapped with the
rock taken from the excavations.
Navigation at present is confined to
small flat boats engaged in hauling
coal dredged from river bottom.
Navigation must not stop at Harris
burg or Sunbury. The main river,
the north branch, the west branch,
the Juniata and Conestoga must be
canaliZed. Navigation must be ex-
tended into New York State and the
SusQuehanna system connect with
the New York State Barge Canal.
The old Susquehanna and tide water
canal, from Havre de Grace, Mary
land, (tide water), to New York
State line, 1872 miles, had a total
lift of 776.5 feet West branch,
Northumberland to Lock Haven,
67.9 miles, total lift, Ill feet
Lower Juniata, Juniata Junction to
Hollidaysburg. 1867 miles, total
lift, 532.7 feet.
Construction suggested: Dams and
slack water levels, with a channel
dredged to a depth of IA feet by
100 feet wide at the bottom and $50
to 200 feet wide on top, governed by
the type of material encountered.
Dams, largely of the shutter type,
piers crossing the river at proper
span, with shutters suspended from
a bridge resting on the piers, shut
ters raised and lowered to control
water by mechanism mounted on the
bridge.
Locks should be built not less
than 80 feet long by so feet wide,
with not less than ~ feet of water
over the sill. Provision should be
made to build double locks when
necessary, harbors of refuge, docks
and wharves should be constructed
with modern loading and unloading
devices and facilities.
Cost can only be estimated until
a preliminary survey is actually
made. My opinion is that 100000
900 will be necessary. Bonds could
be sold and the expenditure repaid
in fifty years, by small charge on
coal and manufactured products.
Agricultural products, sand, stone
lime, cement, bricks, and other
building materials carried free Oh
tolls, except a nominal charge for
lockage and maintenance. The
Improvement should be considered
as a great National Highway OF
commerce and the cost absorbed as
is done with the cost of building
National or State highways, the pay
ments made from general funds re-
ceiyed from taxes.
