Y knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 90
~ IVA, as nearly as I can
figure it out, is an attempt to
do the same thing to a whole
section of the United States that
a doctor does to a man who is
smashed up in an auto accident.
And that is, fix him up"
The term regional planning"
has been used frequently in con-
nection with IVA. That term
alone is enough to scare most
people off.
A fellow I know in IVA thinks
a better term would be organized
foresight" 1 think a still better
one would be simply, I'VE fix up
the Tennessee Valley"
The public so far has thought
of IVA mostly in terms of big
dams. That is all right, for big
dams are spectacular, they're
something you can see, and their
purpose is easy to understand.
But big dams are only a small
part of TVA-rather, they're
merely the foundation upon which
IVA plans to build its castle.
When you have finished these ar
ticles I believe you will see what
I mean.
There are a lot of dams on the
Tennessee River. Wilson Dam cat
Muscle Shoals) and Norris Dam
(the newest one) are about the
only ones with which the public
is familiar. But there are others.
Already three others are being
built, and two more are proposed.
I'm these dams are founded the
~ whole program of IVA. The
program might be boiled down to
these points:
/. To make the Tennessee River
navigable, from its mouth, at Pa
ducah clear up its 670 miles of
meandering course to Knoxville.
You might think that river navi-
cation isn't important any more.
But cheap freight rates would do
a lot for the South.
2. To allow man, instead of ma
ture, to control the water in the
Tennessee Valley. Up in the
mountains they have 60 inches of
rain q year, and that makes ter
rife floods. BY this series of
dams. they can pen up the water
during the rainy season, instead
of letting it rush down and ruin
the country. Then in dry sea-
sons they'll let the water out
gradually. This will do two things:
Keep the navigation channel at
a steady level. and provide water

OLD AGE RELIEF

There has been some mIsGnder-
sion, or as it should more correctly
be called, old age relief There is
an impression that anybody staining
the age of sixty-five years would
automatically receive a pension of
$4,000 a month. This is not cor
rect. The law specifically states that
the maximum pension allowed is to
be $4,000 a month, but that it would
be on a graduated scale with due re-
gard to the conditions in each case,
so that pensioner might receive as
a pension any amount from $1.O0 to
$4,000.
The law specifically states that the
State shall have a prior claim over
any property. real or PERSONAL, that
a pensioner may leave upon his
death Therefore the Estate of any
person receiving pension must upon
his death pay back to the State the
amount of the pension received dur
ing his lifetime together with 80
thereon.
The law likewise specifically states
that where there are children able to
take care of aged parents they must
do so and, eff not financially able to
take care of them fully, then 20
whatever extent they are able.
The pension is fundamentally old
age relief and to a large extent takes
the place of the almshouse.
