PIONEERS KEEP
 THEIR LONG TREK

Worcester, Mass, Dec, 8--(UP)- Paced by an ox-drawn covered wagon, New England's 37 plodding pioneers left here at S:30 a. ii., to- day, continuing their trek to Mari etta, O., for celebration of the Ohio Company's settlement of the north- west territory l50 years ago.
 Though the oxen were pampered by truck rides during tho first four legs of the trek, Director Oswald Kossuth Reannes explained this was to help the hikers make better time over the longer stretches.
 "The next ride the oxen get will be in a boat he said. "That will be when they reach West Newton, Pa., where they (the 37 youths) will build a rough raft from trees cut in the forest, and float down the Ohio to Marietta"
 George Haraden of Hamilton, liaison officer between the caravan and the federal government which Is financing the expedition. said there had been complaints as to quality and quantity of food.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-12-08

If the deal is completed, all elec- tricity producing and distributing equipment in this state will be pulp licly owned, although heavily bond- ed. Nebraska probably would be- come the first state in America to have a ''uniaed" public power system.
 Author of the plan Is Guy Q. Myers, New York flnancier. He stepped into a controversy between public power districts and private utilities when 1t appeared they were headed for a long fight.
 His proposal was, briefly, that three PWA financed hydroelectric projects on the Platte and Loup rivers acquire, through issuance of revenue bonds, all private utility plants and distribution systems Ii, the state and operate them as one The power districts are municipal corporations, similar to drainage districts or sewer districts
 For several months he has been working on his scheme. He had two principal tasks. They were, first, to induce the holding coln- panies to sell their operating corin- paries in Nebraska; second, to in. duce investors to buy the revenue bonds.
 Recommended Firms Purchase
 That he has succeeded, at least to a degree, was apparent recently when he recommended to directors of the Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation district (the Suther- land project) that they purchase for about $7,5oo,0Oo an operating company owned by Stone & Web- ster, a public utility holding coin- pany of New York and Boston.
 The directors took no iinmedi- ate action on his recommendation but if they are unwilling to buy the property, another hydroelectric project, the Central Nebraska Pulp lie Poweh and Irrigation district, will do so. It is known as the Tri- county project.
 The third large power develop. ment in Nebraska is the Loup River Public Power district, the Columbus project. All three districts were financed wholly by PWA, partly in the form of loans.
 The districts have recevied al- lotments totaling more than $5O,. 100000. It is estimated that the cost of purchasing all private utili- ties in Nebraska would be between $85, ,000,0 900 and $l00,000,000.
 The Columbus district is wholly a hydroelectric development. It has received $i1,0l4,000 in allotments from PWA and is near completion. It is situated in the eastern part of the state, taking water from the even flow of the Loup river which empties into the Platte at Columbus.
 Irrigation Project Ready
 The Sutherland project, which cost the federal government $i0,- l65,000 to date, has as it's purpose the irrigation of 100000 acres of land in the Platte valley and the development of 00,000,00O kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
 Tri-county is the largest of the three districts and is in only the preliminary stages of construction. Backed by Senator George W. Nor- ris, the district has received allot- ments from PWA totaling $30, 096,000.
 When completed, the district will have the second largest earth dam in the world, the largest one being the Fort Peck dam on the Mis- souri river in Montana. This dam will create channel reservoir on the North Platte river with a ca. pacity of 100000 acre feet, a shore line of 105 miles and e length of g miles.

NO COMPETITION
 FOR HEALTH DEPT

Waterbury will not enter the na- tional inter-city health conservation contest sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce this year because the local department plans spending it's energies towards internal measures to combat sick ness and. thus, to maintain its high standing without recourse to na- tioiial publicity, Dr. Edward J. God- frey explained today. The mention was brought about by bulletin from the State Department of Health which urged participation of cities.
 "Waterbury has held a high standing in these contests in other years but we are concerned about the coming year with problems of our own which will keep Us busy" the health official said. "A statement on these will be forthcoming shortly"
