Novel Town To
Be By-Product
OF Tenn. Dam

washington--Over the Cum
berland foothills, four miles from
the site of the Norris Dam, a uni
que experiment in town building
is being undertaken.
With funds already allocated by
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration, the community of
Norris, Tenn.-named for the
famed liberal Senator-will be es-
tablished for persons whose jobs
demand that they live near the
dam.
The Tennessee Valley authority
will be the builder and the land
lord. Conceived as an experiment
to determine what co-Vfdinated
planning can accomplish, neither
depressions nor congestion will be
able to hurt Norris.
Unlike real estate operators sub
divisions, no land will be sold. In
stead, the property and buildings
will be rented only by those who
use them.
The first unit of SO homes has
already been started and will be
ready next summer. Eventually
enough homes for five or six thous-
and persons will be built
The houses will average four
rooms and each renter will have a
fouf-acre farm to be titled by tls
individual or pooled for co-opera-
tive farming.
Every building will be heated by
electricity-power from the dam
will be cheap-and an electric
range, refrigerator and water heat
er will be installed.
Most model towns" have stero.
typed architecture, but homes If
Norris will not be standardized
neither will there be a building
line, the houses will be staggered
and on the topography of each plo'
will depend. the location of eact
house.
The IVA will build and operate
its own school and in the cente
of the town will be a large parl
and open-air meeting place, at on
end of the common will be an ad
ministration building, a hotel,
restaurant, a drug store, a genera

These projects are being located
within regions where the problem
of erosion is known to be serious,
regions that differ from one an
other in some aspect or soil, top
ography, intensity of rainfall or
type of agriculture. The service
hopes to carry through these pro-
grams with such success that they
will lead to work on all areas need

Farmers
And Jobless To
Be Given Help
Roosevelt Announces Long-Range
Relief Program.
SUBSISTENCE O M FIRST
Projects to Be Drawn to Meet SifuaL
hom Created By Demobiiza-
ton of eva.

A broadly drawn plan to meet
the immediate emergencies of un-
employment relief, was laid down
by President Roosevelt in a state
ment regarded as providing a pat
tern by which a permanent change
in n portion of the nations eco
nomic life might be effected.
The President said qhe rtlief
plans were drawn to meet the sit
uation arising from demobilizing
the Civil Works administration
and to reshape the present formu-
la in accordance with the results
of nine months of relief expert
.mentation, which had shown that
"the unemployment problem must
be faced on more than one 'front.'"
The broadly-drawn plan, yet to
be worked out in detail, calls for
aid to distressed families in rural
areas, aid to the STANDARD popu-
latons" whose jobs permanently
moved away or died, and aid to the
%cities' unemployed. Mass treat
ment of all types Of relief is to be
abandoned for specialized treat
ment in each field.
Back to this move is an admin
|~istration theory for creating a
niche in the economic wall suf-
ficient to shelter something like
ten million persons whose unem-
ploymeht some officials say prom
ises to become permanent under
the existing industrial system.
The administration holds that the
long-range problem of these ten
million is part of the immediate
relief question and should be so
considered.
In speaking of the need for fur
nishing a lean of self-support to
the needy of rural areas, Mr.
Roosevelt observed that elm many
parts of the country this calls for
a change from commercial farm
ing and depedence upon a single
cash crop to the raising of the va
,rious commodities needed to main
tain the families"

SHOOTS DOWN SHELBY
WOMAN

Florence Jones was alleged to

4o-year-old Byrum hosiery mill
worker at Shelby, Saturday. The
young woman was said to have
come to Shelby to secure work, and
used her maiden name. She died
in the hospital following the

her husband William Drake. Mrs
Drake had declined "a few days be-
fore to accept a ride in a truck
driven by Sentell, and this is sup
