Says Ski Hill Is For
Entire Community
The meeting at the Moose hall
was called to order by President
Christie who said there were only
one or two matters to be considered
before turning the meeting over to
the fish and game committee. He
asked M. X. Kedzie to report for
the recreation committee. Mr. Ked-
zie said he felt the community is
overlooking an opportunity to de-
velop winter sports here, especially
skiing. He said it should be COM
munity affair and not confined to
the ski club. He urged building of
place for kids to coast, also rec
commended that the ski hill be light
ed and said it should be possible to
develop a ski tournament here.
President Christie added that the
ski hill was for the use of every
one and did not belong to the ski
club exclusively.
The matter of use of the Blue
Card system was mentioned briefly.
It was said money could be saved
business houses if they would de-
mand that solicitors show their
blue cards. Solicitors should see
Carl Halvorson to obtain blue
cards.
Expresses Thanks for Dinner
Chairman Boyes Of the fish and
game committee thHn took over.
He first thanked Major Hufford and
the CCC boys for the most excel
lent dinner served at the CCC camp.
While all other dinners served there
had been excellent, he said he felt
this one was a little better. While
the dinner was being served, Mr..
Boyes had introduced a number of
men, among them being Major
Fletcher N. Hufford and Lieutenant
Robert Stevenson, whom he thanked
for their excellent dinner, and who
were given big hand by the din
ers. Music was provided through
out the dinner by Smith Reid at
the piano. Davey Doe, saxaphone,
Bobby Bigelow, violin, and James
Lovejoy, guitar. Raymond Reed en-
tertained with tap dancing. There
were 165 served at the dinner.
Mr.. Boyes also paid full tribute
to his committee members for the
fine assistance given. He named
each and asked them to stand,
when each was given a big hand.
They were M. E. Sturm, Lloyd
Burpee, M X. Kedzie, Ernest Wood.
Merrill Tester and Brad Phillips.
Later in the evening Mr.. Boyes in
troduced Game Warden Wiley who
was given hand when he stood up
to acknowledge the introduction.
Chairman Boyes said he knew the
club would stand Fundamentally
behind the new president, Jim
Christie; that the new officer was
young and energetic and he knew
he would make an excellent presi-
dent.
Mr.. Boyes went into game mat
ters briefly. He commended Gra-
ham Caldwell Of the fish hatchery
and Bill Vaughn for their work in
stocking with trout the kids pond
south of the city. He said that was
fine piece of work. Mr.. Boyes also
said that Thompson lakes are NOT
now open to ice fishing but that it
is hoped they will be. This matter
was later discussed by DR.. Severy.
Mr.. Boyes then introduced Mr..
Phillips and the program got under
way as reported above.

During the evening the annual
sportsman's award was presented.

Miss Bryant, who is a we'll

just recovered from injuries she
suffered in an automobile acct
dent. Many tournament players
will be glad to know she is doing
well. In fact, she played in a
rubber bridge game with us and
certainly handled today's hand
capably.
Sitting South, Miss Bryant
won the opening lead with the
zee of hearts. then cashed the ace
and king of diamonds and led q
third diamond. The idea was to
let the opponents open the black
suits.
East made fine play by lead
ing the six Gf spades instead Of
p heart, but Miss Bryant won
with the ace, guessing correctly
that West held the king. Then
she led the losing heart. West
played the deuce and East won.
When East led the nine OF
spades, South ducked. West was
then forced to lead away from
the king of clubs or lead heart,
which dummy could ruff while
South discarded a club. Thus
Miss Bryant made her contract.

impressive testimony against the
St. Lawrence Seowoy and Power Prof
ect. was recently given by Charles L.
Roper. Dean of the College Of Business
Administration ond Professor Of
TRANSPORTATION at Syracuse University,
before the House Rivers and Horbors
Committee.
First, sold DR.. Roper, the estimated
cost to the United Stotes Of the project,
$285, 100000 is in all probability far
too low. Experience has proven that &C.
tuoI cost of such gigantic construction
projects is almost oIwoys two or three
times estimated cost The estimated
cost of the comparable New York Barge
Canal, for instance, was about $780,
100000. The octuol cost was almost
$500, 10000
Second, Or. Roper believes thot the
project is without national defense
value. 1t could not be completed, in his
opinion and that Of other experts, be-
fore 1913 or l949. 1t would be Of no
benefit for probably seven or eight
years, and would take vast amounts Of
money, materials and labor. which are
vitoIIy needed for real defense work.
Third, he continues, there is no
shortage Of transportation in the oreo
the seowoy could serve. Instead, there
is surplus. The railroads have obund-
ontIy proved their ability to handle the
main load without delay or congestion,
and the supplemental highway and
water carriers are also doing an excel
lent Job. On top Of that, water and ice
conditions would close the seowoy for
at least five months Of each year.
Fourth, Or. Roper can see little
merit in the St. Lawrence development
os producer Of power. Here, again, the
time foctor alone moke it impractical.
Furthermore, when the highly conoen-
troted hydro plants we're completed,
they could be easily put out Of service
by bombers if war came to this CONT
nent. The solution to any power short
oge which may exist, he observes, is the
construction Of numerous steam plants
located near our cool mines and factory
areas. These plants could be built in
little more than q year and, being
widely scattered, would be extremely
difficult for an enemy to ottock.
These ore the high points Of this
acknowledged experts testimony. And
in addition, the St. Lawrence would
seriously disrupt some of our greatest
industries = COO railroads, utilities,
etc.-industries which are absolutely
vitoI to the success Of our own defense
and od-to-E England program. This is
no time for immensely costly expert
ments which would take long years to
complete, and which would divert our
resources from jobs whose swift COM
pIetion is essential to the security and
sofety Of this notion

was repentont. And he sold unto Jesus,
Lord, remember me when Thou contest

unto him, Verify soy unto thee, To-
day thou shalt be with Ne in Porodise. "
Thot is the story the convicts in
Donnemoro remembered when they,
with their own hands roised the first
chopel of its kind in q moxinun secur-

roised it with stones taken from on old

Thot is q story all America ought to
hear, story thot shouts that in all
America there is no man 50 obosed, no
man so fallen, thot he may not still

may not still build something greater
than he.
