Big Dam Doings Along Texas Oklahoma Border
S54,OOO,O 900 Project Will Harness Floods, Manufacture Power
By NEA Service

Denison, Tex, Aug. 23.-The fed- eral government is spending $54, ,00O,- 600 to dam the Red river near Denison in an attempt to stop floods and manufacture hydroelec- tric power. Most everybody around here thinks it's great thing, but a lot of people are going to be put to lot of trouble when work really gets going.
 For instance, the 145 residents of Hagerman and Preston Bend and the 453 citizens of Woodville and Aylesworth across the river in Okla homa will have to move, for their homes will be under water. The nearly hree-mile-long dam will create 8 lake extending 50 miles up the Red and 45 miles up the Wash ita rivers flooding some 100000 acres of land in all.
 The utility companies will have to have some moving days, too. There will be 64 miles of railroad tracks to be relocated. 28 miles of electric lines, 61 miles of tele- phone lines, and IA miles of pipe lines. Forty-two miles of federal and state highways must be re- built.
 But everyone hopes that these and other expenses will be more than repaid by savings on flood control and power. The dam will protect 97,065 acres of land in the Red river bottoms between Deni- son and Alexandria, La, in times of water as high as the long, remembered 1908 flood. and a total of 596,663 acres at maximum flood. And there will be additional protection for around 100000 acres in Louisiana now behind levees. Total estimated annual benefits in flood control on the Red alone are $1,767, 7,000.
 Estimates of the annual reve- nues from sale of power run from $1,25o,000 to $1,800,000.
 romotion-minded residents also envision recreation centers spring ing up around the almost 1000 miles of the new lakes shoreline; such development would bring an additional flow of dollars to the territory.
 Some statistics on the dam, which will be built at 8 point nine miles below the confluence of the Red and the Washita:
 Height 190 feet; length at top --15,350 feet; width at top - 32 feet; elevation ttop of dam--695 feet; elevation, main spillWay crest-660 feet.

Ely Pianist Wins High
Praises by Musical Critics.

Musical critics commented very pro-
fuSely on the work of Stanley Berglund,
son of Mr.. and Mrs Olof Berglund,. of
this city who gave recital a short
time ago at the Sherwood Recital Hall
in the Chicago Fine Arts Building. Mr..
Berglund is pupil of Sidney SLIDER, a
noted teacher of the piano in charge
of this branch of musical Education in
the Sherwood Music School from which
many noted musicians have graduated.
Mr.. Berglund played selections from
List, Schubert, Beethoven, Schumann,
Scarlatti and Bach in his recital. The
critics were unanimous in pronouncing
his recital one of exceptional merit in
which he expresses himself with di-
rectneSS and confidence. His work is
characterized by good taste, brilliance,
expertly controlled and varied tonal
qualities and delicately clean passage
work"
Other comments on the work of the
brilliant young pupil were: Program
was one which would test any artists
composue." HAS remarkably true
conception of Beethoven" uses pedal
discreetly, thus acquiring a beautiful
singing tone" "He has remarkable
technical facility"

Has Largest Enrolment O
Any Extra Curricular
School Activity.

CThis is the third in series of ar
ticles on activities of School District
No. 12)
Approximately 500 Students-30 per
cent of the total enrolment of the en-
tire district-are taking part in instru-
mental or vocal music work. Having
the largest enrolment of any extra
curricular activity, the scope of the
music departments directly included
students from the fourth grade up to
and including the Junior College.
Its cultural benefits are many, and
hardly a social function is held in the
community without someone who "took
music at school" contributing to the
entertainment program.
Residents of the district had an OPP
portunity this week of inspecting the
efforts of the vocal music department
at the various Christmas programs pre-
sented, starting with the candlelight
carol service Sunday evening featuring
the various choruses of the junior high
high school, and Junior college, or
through the operettas given by the
grade buildings.
Miss Elizabeth Wilkin is in charge
of this department., assisted by Mis-
Josephine Slogan and Mrs. Ida Erickson
| 1t is safe to say that at least four.

About $50 persons attended the
candlelight carol service given by the
various vocal music organizations of the
high school and junior college Sunday
afternoon in the Washington auditor
ium. Presented under the direction of
Miss Elizabeth wilkins, the service in
cluded many familiar carols.
The work of the choruses was out
standing. Especially impressive was the
"Seraphic Song" by the a capella Choir
us with violin solo and obligato by
Miss Althea Bush, and the singing of
the Hallelujah Chorus by all the Choir
uses
Christmas programs to which the
public is invited are being presented
this week by the various grade build
ings. The Washington school will give
the operetta "Hansel and Gretel" to-
night at 7:45 o'clock. Winton has an
operetta, THE Gift of Christmas"
scheduled for this afternoon at 2::30
o'clock. Savoy will present the oper-
eta "Piccola" tomorrow morning at

80 Per Cent of Students
Enrolled in Music Work

fifths of the residents of the COM
munity who play musical instrument
with the possible exception of the piano
learned to play them during school
years.
Under the capable direction of Frank
v. DiNino, assisted by Miss Althea Bush
on the stringed instruments, the Ely
school band, orchestra, and other in
strumental groups have achieved an
enviable reputation.
Aptitude tests in music uncover most
of the instrumental material while the
students are in the sixth, seventh OF
eighth grades, young enough so that
the proper training can develop them
into accomplished musicians before
leaving high schools. Students who
show promise are given private in
structions, which in some instances in
cludes those as far down as the fourth
grade. Any student, however, who
wishes to "try out" is given the oppor-
tunity.

obtained by announcing that "such-
