LARDERELLO, ITALY - The
VALLEY of He'll" an amazing 20
mile area In the Tuscany section of
northern Italy where live steam
shoots skyward with a deafening
roar from nearly 800 natural and
man-made wells, is fast becoming
Italy's greatest source of electric
power.
Although this hidden source of
power has only recently been fully
capitalized, its existence has been
known of for more than a hundred
years. It is only recently, however,
that Italian engineers have turned
286 of these devastating and almost
uncomfortable phenomena into more
than 1000 900 hlowatt hours of cleo
tricity daily, supplying power for
railroads, factories and other activ-
tiles virtually at cost to most of
northern Italy.
It IS from this source that cleo
tricity Is provided for operating
the railroad between Pisa and
Rome. It is the only place In the
world where man has controlled

making it mandatory for country
school superintendents to see that
similar programs are set UP in each
county every year. And when he
finds time to return to his office,
DR.. Colbert is greeted by bagsful of
mail from all parts of the country
asking information about the prof.
ect.
It's apparently clicked, and one
very good reason is that most Amer
leans consider democracy on trial
today, an institution which can ex-
list only If citizens learn to fight for
it, to dramatic it like the dictators
have dramatized tota1itarianism.
Whipping up of san eagle-scream-
ing sort of Americanism' false pa
triotism-is not the aim, says DR..
Colbert.
Emphasize Local Government.
"What we hope to do is acquaint
the new citizens with their govern
ment. Because most of the tax dol
lar is spent at home, our emphasis
is placed on the local unit of govern
ment. We try to show them how
they can get the most out of their
government. If we can encourage
and stimulate discussion and inspire
and create more dynamic enthusi-
asm in governmental affairs, I be-
ieve we shall have made big step
toward our goal"
DR.. Colbert takes this success in
stride. Wisconsin is an adopted
home to him-has been for 20 years.
He is one of the few persons with
a joint doctorate degree IN the three
branches of social sciences, econom-
les, political science and sociology.
This is important only because it
shows he's a mixture of the acade-
mician and practical applicator, a
man to whom public administration
is something of fetish. For sew
eral years, as head of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin's extension sociol-
ogy division, he's been conducting
roundtables IN cities throughout the
state, making each group adopt
major project as a demonstrate
of how they can participate in pub
lie affairs.
Citizenship day at Manitowoc is
the outgrowth of one of those prof.
ects. DIR. Colbert chuckles as he
recalls how the idea was suggested
to other groups before he went to
Manitowoc Not from him, but
from other sources, you can learn
that these other cities are quite
peeved with themselves for missing
a golden opportunity that Manitowoc
snapped up.

to drill some Of the wells and about
eight days to cap them. Just be-
fore they strike steam" the entire
crew dashes for cover. The explo-
sion of the escaping steam deva-
states all drilling machinery, twist
ing steel beams like threads. Rocks,
mud, volcanic lava, all gush out to
a height of nearly a thousand feet.
The noise of the explosion can be
heard IL miles away. Then for two
weeks the well is allowed to "clean
itself out" following which it is
capped and controlled, the steam be-
ing drawn off into condensing tanks
and eventually converted into cleo
tricity that is generated by the tur-
bines.
Steam power for electricity is not
the only output Of this Valley of
He'll" More than 5000, 900 tons of
chemical products, pure borax, car
bonic acid, ammonia, boric acid,
ETC., are produced as bi-products.
Nearly half of this, or 4, 0O0, 900 tons,
is exported annually and the rest is
used IN Italy.

s4About 20 stavkirker may still be
seen In Norway" states Peter
Berge, general manager of the Nor
wegian America line. Mr.. Berge be-
lieves that the stavkirker are both
curious sights for travellers and also
apt illustrations of boat building for
yachtsmen who visit the locality.
Those who study the churches, he
says, will find in them the same

nous 1,000-year-old Viking ships

together as they were on Viking
vessels, and knees" were used to
strengthen the structures.
Norway's largest stav church, the
Hitterdal, has windows, but those
were added IN the Nineteenth CEN
tury-a very late after-thought in
deed. The buildings originally had
no natural lighting at all, the priests

Wisconsin Educators Plan
Dramatizes Democracy
For New Voters.
By PRESCOTT WALDEN

"It's something like when
you hear band playing and
marching down the street. You
almost Jingle with excitement
when you actually realize that
the future of your country is as
much your business as any,
body's."
A bright-eyed, 21-year-old girl
at Manitowoc, Wis, speaking.
Up her way, thanks to an ideal
istic university professor
ma m ed DR.. r. j. Cobb ert,
democracy is being drama
tized for 700 odd boys
and girls who become actual flesh
and-blood United States citizens on
May 81.
Citizens already? Yes, they were
born that way, most of them. But
for several years DR.. Colbert has
told his University of Wisconsin ex-
tension class that this country needs
something to "enliven citizenship
participation" There's too much
taken for granted, too little interest
manifested in the government our
forefathers sweated and died for.
Idea Catches Fire.
Last fall, at Manitowoc, DR.. Col
bert's idea caught fire. A newSpa-
per man left the class, went back
to his desk and wrote an editorial.
Manitowoc's Judge A. H. Schmidt
proposed that DR.. Cohorts class
sponsor the project. A. L. Nimtz,
director of the Manitowoc vocation
al school, was drafted as general
chairman. Here's how the idea
works:
Every ''new citizen" in Mantle
woe county received a personal in
vitation to join citizenship class,

New Sailing Process
Brings Pickle Industry
To Southern States

Because cucumbers grown in the
South often became softened or
''bloated" when picked by the proc
ess that was successful in the North
Central states, southern growers
had only one market-that for fresh
cucumbers which must be market
ed quickly or not at all. It was be-
ieved that pickles made In the
South had to be sailed heavily to
prevent spoilage.
Chemists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the
North Carolina experiment station
have proved this belief incorrect.
They have found that putting the
southern cucumbers into the right
strength of brine makes firm pickles
second to none In quality.
This indicates, the department
chemists say, that pickles probably
can be made anywhere cucumbers
are grown if the brining problem
is handled right.

CHAPTER TX

June, to her own establishment,
wept for Grandpa Bowdon as she
had not wept for her mother. His
going touched her deeply; and she
went to her room and stayed there
for a while alone. Then Asa
knocked at her door, and when she
opened, he knew how to comfort
her.
''He was ready to go, June" he
said. Don't feel badly. And-it
was just like swapping a string. No
hurt, no pain"
And he babe her come downstairs.
''The old folks need you," he urged.
'You and Rab and I. we've got to
carry them over the hump, you
know"
She wished suddenly, desperately,
to see Clint, to be with him now;
but since she could not, she smiled
at Asa, and dried her tears, and
went down with him, her head high
and steady. Through the rest of that
afternoon and evening, she carried
her share of the burden here :.
The appointed hour was not yet
come next morning, when June
slipped away to the woods to meet
Clint; but he would have seen the
report of Mr.. Bowdon's death, would
know she needed him.
When she came through the sunlit
woods, up the path to the cabin on
the knoll, he was there as she ex-
pected. He saw her approaching and
was swift to meet her.
June stood still as he drew near,
and she was trembling and shaken.
He came toward her, his hands out
stretched; and without knowing
how, or caring, she was In his arms
and happy there.
81 shouldn't have stayed with YOU,
yesterday" she said, after long
time. ST might have seen him
again, if I'd come home"
He urged: "June, June, you
couldn't have helped And you liked
being with me, were happy. That's
what he'd have wanted for YOU"
ST never was really afraid be-
FORE" she whispered. Mot for my
self. But I am now, Clint. Oh,
am now Afraid for me and you"
I'm going to take you away" he
cried. Away from all this hereI"
"You can't" she protested.
Grandpa and Grandma Hurder-
they Just have to have me there. /"
Yet she agreed by and by to meet
him that night, after the others
should all be abed.
They had supper before dark, In
Ime's kitchen. Rab had stayed
with Grandma Bowdon while Aunt
EVE ate her supper; but when his
mother relieved him, he came back.
and June served him, and he said
approvingly:
You're carrying load, June.
Good lass. ! wish could give you
a hand"
'It's a woman's business" she
told him. ssYou do more with them,
keep them going"

Of years ago. There was no fuss
about it. He simply reached Il and
became a voter automatically,
which is about the experience of ev-
cry other native born citizen.
Learning Most Important.
Strange, then, isn't it, that we
have many classes, rituals and cere-
monies for naturalized citizens who
become voters. Why not something
for native born citizens as well?
However, being an educator, Pro-
fessor Colbert saw the problem from
an educational standpoint. He real
lied that the Learning" was more
important than the graduation, al
though there was a definite place
for both. So he worked out his pro-
gram in such a manner as to stress
its educational end, and yet have a
dignifed and appropriate ceremony
to climax it. Thus, Citizenship day
was conceived.
He stresses again and again that
this is an objective program Strict
ly positive. There are no negative
isms; this is a program of Ameri-
canism, not anti-other-isms. Pro-
lessor Colbert's idea is to make
Americanism so interesting and de-
sirable that young Americans (and
others, too) will not have any time
for foreign isms.
Which, if you ask the man on the
street, is what America needs, a
darn sight more than good five
cent cigar!
