BITLER TALKS
To K|WAN|AMS

Present shortage of water in the
Colorado river is the final kick
given by that stream against con-
troll, Don Bitler. local attorney told
members of the Kiwanis club at
their weekly luncheon in the Bar
bara Worth hotel today. Bitler had
chosen as his subject 1.-The Ro-
nance of the Colorado River and
prefaced his main talk by giving
an outline of the river S peculiar
tiles and a clear picture of what
it means, in rhyme.
He explained that many of the
tributaries which supply the Color
ado with water are running very
low at present. This river. he said,
has had its own way for SO many
years and has defied many OF the
greatest engineers who attempted
TO curb its flow. In the past the
whole determination of the river
was to empty itself into the Gulf
Of California as quickly as posi-
BILE, now this urge is controlled by
man due to the construction of
Boulder Dam.
The speaker IS remarks were cut
short by lack Of time. The Kiwan-
ians were so pleased that Bitter
was requested to give a full pro-
gram at some future date. Jimmy
Hushman was chairman of the
day and entertained with several
bugle solos accompanied on the
piano by Margaret Lanier Handy.
