BOULDER DAM
DESCRIBED To
k|WANIS CLUB

Boulder dam was the program
theme for the KiwaniS club today,
meeting at the Barbara Worth
hotel with Robert Hays, secretary
of the chamber of commerce, as
the speaker.
Hays gave facts and figures rela-
tive to the time of construction
and the types of materials used.
He read Specifications as published
by the reclamation service before
the dam was begun wherein it was
specified that the concrete should
be poured some time next Decem-
ber. Hays pointed out that the
concrete is nearly all poured and
that water will begin to be i'm
pounded behind the disn in Febru-
airy.
The specifications suggest that
the time OF construction be seven
years whereas the dam will proba-
bly, be completed inside OF four
years.
HAYS urged his listeners to visit
the dam within the next month or
so # possible as it is now in the
most interesting stage of construc-
ton. If the trip is not made until
later there will be considerable less
activity. for as the work nearS
mere men are let go
and the activity is less. He assured
his hearers that the trip is well
worth their while.
Charles E. Anderson was chair
man of the day.

HORTON RIGHT
IN VIEWS ON
REDEMPTIONS
Continued from page II

correct in your conclusion that in
terest paid pursuant to chapter
835 is not to be applied as credit
under chapter -
In proposition No 4, it was Hor-
tons opinion that a redemptioner
who desires to take advantage of
the 10 year plan, may pay all 10
installments at one time. Webb
answers: by paying all install
mentS at one time the landowner
effects a redemption but escapes
penalties, etc. ! see no reason why
he cannot do this and thereby
save the payment of interest from
July l, 1884, which would otherwise
have to be paid. Since the statute
is in the interest of the landowner
I think it should be given a liberal
construction and therefore I con-
cur in your opinion on this ques-
ton.
Answering proposition No. 5.
Webb says: "Where the three year
period of redemption provided for
in the California Irrigation District
ACT mas expired but no DEED TO the
district has been executed, I agree
with your conclusion that the act
should be construed as to give the
landowner until July l, 1885 to
elect to redeem under chapter ~
The last proposition submitted by
Horton asks that if a landowner
within the district desires to re-
deem under the 10 year plan, what
current installment OF assessments
must be paid in order to take ad-
vantage of this plan? Webb an
swers that section l of chapter 7
provides for this redemption plan
On condition that all installments
of taxes or assessments which have
become due and payable after July
/, 1884, are paid

STATES NEED
Of RED CROSS

Following Armistice day obser
vance when We honor those who of
fered their lives for the perpetua-
ton of democracy and preceding
the Thanksgiving season when we
give thanks for material and spirit
ual blessings, it is most appropriate
that we share with our less fortu-
nate neighborS and friends. many
Of whom are out of employment
through no fault of their own.
I'VE have in our community what
We might refer to as the forgot
ten family" There are families in
our city who are not eligible for
SERA relief who, because of unem-
ployment, illness and other condi-
tions under which they have no con-
troll must have some assistance dur
ing the winter. Many of these peo-
pie have lived here a number of
years. They are not asking for char
ity but they are deserving of q
chance. Surely we will not stand by
and allow the transient and never
do-well to receive aid and forget
about our own local people.
THE money received from Red
Cross roll call will be used to assist
these deserving families who must
have some help to tide them over
temporary reverses and help them
to keep their self-respect.
Every employed person should
respond to the roll call and many
should donate literally to our Red
Cross fund in order that these bor-
der line cases may be cared for with
cut making any other drive for To-
cal funds necessary this year."

Notables Present
Members of his cabinet, Gov.
Ruby Laffoon, Sen. Alben w. Bark
ley and scores of other prominent
Kentuckians were on hand as the
President delivered his address
incidentally, his first in Kentucky
since becoming Chief Executive.
Tracing the settling of Harrods-
burg, the setting up of new gov
ernment in the wilderness, he re-
marked:
There is a very definite analogy
between those days and ours. Upon
the pioneers of these great stretches
of the central west were forced new
activities because of the circum-
stances of their surroundings. They
were compelled to hew out new
path-a path that was dependent
not on the axe and the rifle alone,
but upon their ability to govern
themselves in new ways as well.
ITO most of the pioneers the ne
cessities of the new life called for
effort and experiments to which
they had not been accustomed in
their earlier years in the more or
dered civilization of the Atlantic
seaboard. Survival itself demanded
immediate and new action"
