these dangers are not begrudgcd
their present princely earnings,
because they've earned the sum
many times over for the hard
work they do and the dangers
they face.
Added TO these hazards are the
difficulties that come from ma
terial shortages New hulls are
all but unprocurable, and new en-
gines are an impossibility.
Many fishing trawlers have
been requisitioned for military
use. Nets have been found valu-
able in camouflaging, rubber
boots and gloves are rationed and
linen Irvine and hemp are scarce.

A Mon Who Can Do
"Every+hing"

n THERE is anything Manly
Thomas Orne, of West South
y port, Maine, can't do, his
neighbors and friends do not
know what it is. Calling Orne
a jack-of-all-trades is expressing
it mildly.
In the first place he has cut
out and made UP his own clothes
since he was ID years old, mits
and crochets, and when he ap-
pears in a new outfit set off with
one of his crocheted neckties he
is indeed a sartorial masterpiece.
Orne is also a skilled house
painter and interior decorator
and he does hand stenciling to
the queens taste. There is no
better wood carver in Maine and
some Of the houses in the section
where he lives contain fine spcci-
mems of his handiwork. This
man is also a clever paper
hanger, a first class carpenter
and a satisfactory stone mason
Cabinet-makng and plumbing
too, are right up his alley and
he is an Al barber and can
paint signs good enough for any
body. When he has nothing else
to do he makes quilts and quilt
patterns, hooks rugs and knits
sweaters and stockings.
He builds pleasure boats that
are gems of design and work
manship and has even built a
small steamboat.
Now at the age of rs Orne is
still going strong.

he heard a wounded man moan
somewhere in the darkness. Then
the man began prayer.

himself against a sapling and
tried to rise on his uninjured leg,
but fell back 10 the ground.

Some of the bigger traWlers in

TO get an idea Of Just what is
happening to the fish supply, you
have only TO realize that Uncle
Sans armed forces consume
more than one-half of all the
frozen fish in the United States.
Most canned fish is sold for mill
tary and Lend-Lease use. Eighty
per cent of the mackerel and

armed forces. This is topped off
by the increased demands Of a
meat-rationed popuace.
Harvesting fish is an import

Gillette Outlines Program.
"Some OF our administrative
agencies" Senator Gillette said,
apparently see but two factors in
the food situation-the price level
to consumers and the price level to
the raw material producer-and
utterly fail to realize that a third
and potent factor between the
farmer and his consumer market
is the distribution charge, which in
numerous products absorbs from 60
to 80 per cent of the market dollar
paid by the final consumer.
IF We will give the food producer
adequate stabilization of the price
levels for his products, including
feed for his livestock, and at the
same time stabilize, as far as pos
sible, the consumer market for the
finished product. and also at the
same time eliminate the burden of
unjust handling and distribution
charges, our food situation will
rapidly cease to deteriorate, and our
farmers can and will produce to the
utmost limit of their capacity.

Paying Big Dividends

When the Muskfngum COnservancy district was es-
tabshed, purpose of which to have control dams
regulate flow Of water during food times, it was
criticised worthless project, which would serve
little purpose in controlling high water.
Since the dams have been in operation 1t has been
demonstrated time and again that they are effective
and doing what claimed for them. Last week
with the heavy rainfall it seemed almost certain that
would have high water in the Muskingum valley
The dams put into operation and engineers who
carefully observed results much pleased. They
that had it not been for the protection afforded
by the dams, that the water here would have been
from six to eight feet higher than it was in which
event it would have meant many flooded homes and
places of business roads out of commission etc. Bad
the flood at Marietta, yet it would have been
worse it for the fact that the conserv-
ancy district dams many feet of the water
from the Muskingum
It shows too that the conservancy dams beneht
more than the immediate property owners along the
Muskngum river. This the strong argument
used when Congressman Secrest led successful
fight off local flood assessments which were put
following the completion of the dams. He contend
ed it federal project and the assessments be as
sumed by the federal government.
It is too much to expect that because of the con-
servancy district and reservoirs will have no
damage from high water in the Muskingum val
ley-no made such claim but 1t has been
fully demonstrated that with them food waters can be
lowered from eight to ten feet and in so doing lessen
by millions OF dollars, the damage that otherwise
would have been DONE
While $4500O 0OO1-the cost of the watershed dis
trict project, is vast sum of money, yet 1t would
seem that the investment is paying big dividends.
