SNOW H|NDER|NG
EVEREST PARTY
Expedition Retires to 49,.
O00.Foot Level to Take
Brief Rest.
BY HUGH RUTTLEDGE,

Leader. 1885 British Mount Everest
Expedition.
CAMP NO. /. MOUNT EVEREST,
Tibet. May 23-(By wireless via Car
cutta) After the most careful con-
- -sideration of our position, decided to
bring all the members of the 1885
British Mount Everest expedition
down from camp No. 3 or short
rest at camp No. ].
The recent heavy snowfall renders
the upper slabs of Mount Everest i'm
possible to climb temporarily. and they
are likely to remain in such a condi-
ton for week or 10 days.
The entire party Is in good physical
condition, except for one or two mem
bers who have sore throats. They
will be all the stronger for q week at
q lower altitude.
The meteorological department re-
ports that the monsoon is approaching
the Bay Of Bengal from the south.
We are keeping careful daily watch
on the mountain and shall advance up
the glacier again the moment the
snow shows signs Of clearing.
I estimate that, owing to good &C
climatization Of the members Of the
expedition, it will be possible to reach
the summit eight days after leaving
camp No. l.
Heavy SHOWS on Monday compelled
an advance party of the Mount N-
. crest expedition to descend from camp
No. 4. situated at q height of about
$4,000 feet, to camp No. 3. 1900 feet
lower. Camp No. is established al
$4,000 feet.
The reference in Mr.. Ruttledge's
dispatch to the approach Of the mon
soon shows that the time left the
party for the final climb Is rapidly
growing shorter The monsoon has
broken at Ceylon 10 days earlier than
expected. If it crosses India at It's
usual speed it should reach Mount
Everest about June 10.
The fact that no climbing may be
possible for a week or 10 days, be-
cause of the heavy snow. leaves less
than fortnight from the date wher
climbing Is again resumed for the
summit to be reached.

MEMORIES OF MOTHER

Of my mother that's gone remember, Her thoughtful and unselfish care; The kisses from lips that were tender; The gleam of the sun on her hair The caress of her arms was appealing, The touch of her hands was so light; The contented and safeguarded feeling, When she tucked me in bed for the night; The stories of old she would tell me. And lullaby songs she would sing. Only know what sorrows befe!l me And the heartaches her going did bring Those things of her I remember. And as she watches from heaven she knows Why my eyes to tears they surrender, When the long day has come to close For it's then most Of all that miss her Dear Mother" "Old ComTade." My Friend. But sometime again I'll be with her When life on this earth comes to end; Then together we will be eyerafter Tn that kingdom Of God" high above. Once more 1 will thrill to her laughter And gaze in the face that I love

An example of how the general program works iS tho project ct Ida Valley, Va. The government bought large tract of the Blue Ridge for the Shenandoah Na- tional Park on which were about 45O families which must be reset- tied. Many of these families lived in one-room windowleSs Shacks. Each Gets Small Farm
 Ida Valley is Q project, Sirni- lar to others in the area, where 20 of the families will live. Each family will have Q i0-acre piece of land, Q plain five-roonn house with Q bathroom, vegetable and meat house, pig house, poultry coop, small barn, and piped.in water. There's . 40-acre comnlu- nity pasture and 100 acres of wooded land.
 The government paid S30 an acre for the resettlement land and tho homeSteadS cost about SS00O apiece.
 The difference between Ida Val ley and the agricultural commit nities which Tugwell plans, how- ever, is that the resettled fam- flies there can't be Self-Sufficient on their l0.acre lots and must, in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-08

take over ghost towns" in, the for- mer forest regions of the Southern Applachians, the northern Great Lakes region, the Pacific Northwest, and in cut-over pinc lands in the far South.
 Tn northern parts of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin Q third of tho land has been abandoned aS result of timber destruction. Re- settlement will return some of 1t to forest use.
 Acquire "Dust BOwI' Land
 Large purchases have been made in the "dust bowl" area and the dry areas in Q 250 to 300-mile belt In the west, which stretches from Canada to Texas. R. A. has acc quired title to half @ million acres there and will buy S00,00 more.
 Dead mining areas in Pennsyl- vania, West Virginia, Kentucky, southern Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,

addition to income from raising cattle, pigs, and crops, find fur ther cash income by working ct national park jobs or in farm and orchard work at nearby farms.
 Ida Valley was one of the Sub- sistence Homesteads experiments, inherited by Tugwell. Future Re- settlement agricultural communities will be planned to provide each family with Q farm of sufficient size to enable 1t to make Q living and meet payments.
 Seeks to Halt Waste
 The suhmarginal land purchase program began under EZRA. Aim of this program Is officially stated to be directed against waste and destruction of land, low rural living standards and excessive costs to counties of roads, schools, and relief in the poor land regions.
 Resettlement administration will
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-08

This process of land acquisition, land utilization, and rural reset clement will be continued as long as there is sufficient support for 1t in Congress.
 Buys Great Tracts
 In It's current program, Reset. clement Administration has bought i,l78000 acres at $4.22 an acre and more than s000,000 acres are under option. Total cost will be nearly &50,. 100000. About 6000 families on this land will be resetled with RA aid.
 The rural resettlement phase aims at the long range goal of bringing about permanent adjustment Of people to land resources, although projects are now in general limited to areas where relief need is pro- noiinced.
 In addition to families taken from purchased Submarginal land, at least 6 thousand tenant .farn- flies will be placed on leased land and given @ chance to acquire their own farms through long term payments.
 This resettlement program, es- tablishing rural communities ir1- filtration projects, camps for mic gratory labor and farmer subsist- ence homesteads, now has 02 proj- ects completed, under Construc- ton, or with final plans approved, and will provide more than 10000 homes.
 Total cost is estimated at S6l,. 100000 of which little has been spent. More than 8 hundred other such projects are planned.
 CO-Ops Are Encouraged
 Former subsistence homesteads have been covered in under this phase of the Resettlement program, These community projects will bc villages of from 50 to 800 homes, which will bo the center of fields and pasture lands. Co-operatives will be encouraged for growing, pro- cessing, and marketing crops and there will be cooperative ca1aries, cotton gins and similar establish- ments, as well as stores and schools.
 Tho general plan calls for 6 40.year payment plan with 3 per cent interest on the mortgage loan and 1.S per cent Q year for amor tization.
 In the infiltration projects, Re- settlement will settle individual farm families in existing farm communities, on more or less Sitn- liar terms.

 Resettlement publicity stresses the fact that people on subnArginal land often average no better than SiO0 Q year in cash income, exist In ieaky shacks with large families, live ing on corn bread and fat porks their children weak, undernourishs ed, and uneducated.
 The development program for the purchased land has $l6,000,000 with which to work and may get more later. It covers l37 projects, H ei1ls ployipg about 66,000 men, and VIII employ So0oo eventually.
 The present program is ono Of iS7 projects, but more are on tap: Of 207 projects mapped out. 97 would be for forestry and grazing, g for migratory waterfowl, ~ for parks and recreation, and Sl for 1rls dian reservation development.
 Forestry Is Emphasized
 Emphasis Is placed on forestry because about 6O,000,000 acres of American timber land has been devastated and industry nov uses twice as much timber each year as the nation grows. Tugwell pros poses both to save millions os acres from erosion and make the same land useful under public ownership.
 All this work Is only now bes ginning to speed up. Of @eO.000,S GOO available for land acquisitions development and rural settlement little more than Sli,000, 900 has been spent. The rural resettlement phase especially has been tagging from the point of view of land acquisition and construction.
