Being Wiped Out By Flood ;s''ts co'ts |

GREENVILLE, Mo-, Nav 23
(UP)-This 123-year-old Ozark
logging center and five other
Wayne county villgaes are expe-
rlencing the feelings of man
sentenced to death.
The Federal government has
flled the first of series of con
demnation suits seeking to obtain
title to this county seat town,
Wappapell0, Chaonia, Taskee Sta
tom, Shook and Ojibway and
23,OOO acres Of land that will
be inundated when the $4,000
600 Wappapello flood control is
completed two years from now.
Natives, who have heard talk Of
such dam for 80 years, at first
refused to believe that they would
actually nave to move, but they
are now reported resigned to their
fate. Between 5000 and 1000
residents will be forced to evacu-
ate the st. Francis river valley in
Wayne county.
The project was designed by
the war department to prevent
flooding Missouri's rich cotton
producing boot-heel counties and
to prevent yearly flooding of
southeast Missouri cities. The dam
is expected to protect 100000
acres of rich farm land and such
towns as Kennett, Poplar Bluff,
and Paragould, Ark, with the sac
rifice Of $4,000 acres of upland
valley and six small towns.
The entire probject, which in
cludes construction Of dikes along
the river below the dam, will cost
an estimated $1,000,000. Actual
work on the earthen dam will start
within a few weeks. - -

ment program because they will

More than 80 years ago Slattery

was personal assistant to Secre-

1t was Slattery who precipitated
the Teapot Dome scandal when he
discovered naval ,oil reserves had
been transferred to Secretary

He was driving force behind
campaigns for the federal power

ready requested a deficiency ap-
preparation in this amount thru
the Bureau of the Budget. Should
the Bureau of the Budget act fa-
vorably on this bureaus request,
it will then be transmitted to
congress for its action.
81 am sincerely hopeful that
favorable action will be taken on
this deficiency measure because
of the fact that the current work
being received by the bureau at
the present time is so great that
even with full complement of
agents it is not possible for the
bureau to keep abreast of the
investigative matters reported.
Frankly, with the necessary re-
duction of active personnel dur
ing the remainder of this fiscal
year, there can be only one re-
suit. There will be a piling up of
current work far in excess Of that
which is waiting action at the
present time and it will take
months of pointed investigative
activity to recover ground which
will be lost during this and the
next month. 1t is, of course, un-
derstood that it is absolutely un-
necessary that all government
agencies operate within the bud
get limitations, and it was for
this reason and this reason only
that after very careful study of
the matter it was finally decided
to curtail current activities.
81 deeply appreciate your in
terest in writing concerning the
difficulties presently being expe-
rienced by the bureau. Knowing
that citizens throughout the coun-
try such as yourself are coming
to the defense of the bureau and
offering to render assistance is in
deed encouraging.

Oh the kind of movies little Jimmy goes to

sJimmy knows little about the finer points

knews what he wants. So do the movie
makers, who see that he gets it. The re-
salt is wealth of Observation-Disclosures stuff,

able bits of adventure and action in the

movie fare. came up for discussion at a
conference of elementary school teachers
1t Teachers College, Columbia University,
the other day, very little alarm was mani
fest On the contrary, the teachers We're
urged to go out and attend a few of these
Saturday afternoon thriller-specials them
selves once in awhile and find out how
and why those. things hit Jimmy where. he
lives. = v,,.;s.rc, =. i;...-5;, -
For little Jimmy is perfectly direct and
simple about it all. He likes rapid-hre ac-
ton, bold adventure and the certainty OF
rights ultimate triumph over wrong; and
these likes are not at all bad or unnatural
traits for him to have. On the contrary
they are universal. rooted in the deepest
stratum of human nature. ,~u .-.-e-, .
i4And it is up to US adults to understand
that--and to understand, at the same time,
that these youngsters of ours are no SIM
pletons and are not in the least fooled by
the kind. .:of life they see in the Saturday
afternoon movie houses. ge i , s d
They know, after all, that real life sell
dom has moving picture finish. The hero
doesn't always come galloping out of the
sunset Just in time; the dauntless young
man doesn't always foil the evil designs of
the villain; virtue does not always reap IT'S
rich reward in the final reel. The everyday
life of schoolyard and playground teaches
that, Enthusiastically.
!. Yet it is human nature to wish that
things We're different; and in their own
way the youngsters who cheer and stamp
their feet at the holiday thrillers are SIM
ply testifying to the fact that they wish
life were little bit nearer to the ideal
That is wish which, however it may find
expression, is worth understanding and
fostering. -
Which doesn't at all mean that we
should never exercise the right of censor

gram. 1t does, mean that if. we just take
the trouble to see things the way he sees
them, and share in his Migrant young emo

SHAPE AND ROUND NOTES.:

Our recent comments on music
and the old Southern Harmony
hymn book of four notes prompt
ed the question as to the why and
wherefores of shape notes instead
of the round. This might be ans
wered briefly by saying that the
shape notes provide the "short
course" to music reading.
A singing school teacher can
;conduct group school of few
days and have the children as well
as the old folks singing do, ra, me
TO beat the. band.
The general principles govern.
ing round notes apply, to shape
notes but the shapes facilitate the
reading of music. There are
seven shapes for the seven notes.
Once the sound of edo" is estab-
lished in its relation to other
notes and its Shape firmly fixed
in mind, reading of the notes
comes easily by shape regardless
Of the lines and. spaces, which are
not observed. The same applies
to the other six notes.
This makes it unnecessary to
learn that a song written in the
natural key without sharp or flat,
places "do" on middle G or that a
song written in five flats or two
sharps finds Wdo" in the d space.
The same rule applies to music in
one or more sharps or flats. The
shape obviates lots of hard work
in learning the rudiments of music.
