MAKE 80 A T
SURVEYS IN PONDERA

In carrying out a country
wide water facilities develop
ment in Pondera county, near
ly 80 surveys were made this
year for stock water reservoirs,
flood irrigation projects and
other water facilities, according
to A. C. Peterson, county ex-
tension agent.
While all of these projects
have not been completed, PEI
terson anticipates that most Of
them will be finished before
the end of the year. Assisting
in the program is the county
agricultural planning organiza-
ton which has prepared maps
of various areas showing the
locations of each reservoir, vol
ume and capacity of reservoirs
and other valuable data.

In the past week, aside from
my own little circle of human
affairs, I have had occasion to
observe a neighborhood thor
oughly upset by malice, preju-
dice and a deep-seated convic-
ton that the community could
not exist without the leadership
of a self-appointed guardian.
I sympathize with those af-
fected by the disturbing and
troublesome crOSS-currents of
this situation, and want to say
that the law of averages will
take care of such situations
without too much effort on the
part of any of us.

I've had occasion to attend
two funerals the past week. One
was for a woman who had
worked beyond her strength and
did not have a chance to save
that strength, so the last cur
tain was drawn that she might
rest.
The other was for my grand
mother. Her funeral was one,
the like of which I have never
attended. It was the fins of a
well-lived, full, busy life. She
was the mother of 16 children.
She wrote her own service at
the age of 80 years and three
months. It was read by a pioneer
who had come down with her
through the years. Both had
rubbed shoulders with sorrow
and hardship, only to form a
perfect friendship.
For some reason I had never
had occasion to realize just
what heritage may mean. It is
sound convictions in the acts
of kindness and friendliness
balanced by ignorance and hui
man weakness. It is handed to
all of US with a bit of worldly
goods to carry on into eternity.
And eternity is a balance of be-
liefs. AS these people leave, the
world must go on.
