pOverishment of its soil, and has
made of this area happy and
prosperous region. It is change
which, as was recently stated in
Golfers Weekly, couldn't have
been wrought by private enter
prise or by a single state govern
ment." From this job that the
IVA has done has emerged what
is now called the IVA principle,
a principle which brings about
unified development, with the
Government doing what only the
Federal Government can do, but
with abundant opportunity left
for States, local communities, and
private individuals; a principle
which, the New York Times has
declared, "has proved its worth. "
It is perhaps unfortunate that
the word Authority" has become
attached to these corporate ven
lures of the Federal Government.
The very sound of the word
authority" puts the back up of
the average normal American. It
would not be surprising if some
of the opposition to the notion of
Regional Authority has its roots
in a subconscious dislike of the
mere word. Perhaps we should
seriously consider them Commits
sions. Columbia Valley Commits
sion would perhaps incur less an
tagonism than Columbia Valley
Authority.
Whatever it is called, it is well
for us to have clearly in mind
what Valley Authority is, before
we decide either for or against it..
In it's largest aspects such an
Authority is an overall organiZa-
ton, set up by the Federal Gov
eminent in a given region, to CO.
ordinate all the phases of regional
development. It operates on a level
above particular interests, par
ticular ambitions, or particular
politics. It's aim is the greatest
good for the greatest number of
people within its region.
This does not mean that all the
agencies-Federal state, and local
aAS0Oy O0SA 0sAA6 oAAA S<A.
perienced, should be sponged off.
On the contrary the activities of
such agencies must remain large
~ what they are; indeed they may
even be extended. But these ac-
tivities, and. all the planning be
hind them, are coordinated, Gen.
tfalized in the Valley Authority,
which assures that energies will
not be dispersed, that activities
will neither duplicate nor cancel
each other, and that all roads
will lead to one end-the effective
and complete development of the
region.
The exact form of such an
Authority must be worked out to
suit the particular region, or River
Valley, in which it is established.
Varying conditions or interests
may dictate variations in the
structure of the Authority. In the
Tennessee Valley it has been
found that the most effective or
ganization of the Authority is an
autonomous one-a free-acting
corporation headed by three
Directors, with headquarters in
the Valley, responsible to the
President, and dependent on Con-
gress for funds whose expendi-
lures are subject to annual Fed
eral audit. This Authority, free of
politics, cooperating with all the

TO AID sERVIcEMEN

TO AID SERVICEMEN
The County Extension Service
is building up quite a library of
material which should be of as
sistance to the returning veteran
or the defense worker who might
be interested in agriculture. This
information is being made avail
able and the veterans agricul-
tural advisory committee, COM
posed largely of farmers, will
have information so that they can
render the best assistance pos
sible. The primary aim of this
committee is to try to give the
person inquiring about agricul-
tural possibilities the best, sound
est, and most realistic advice pos
sible. Factors which will be dis
cussed with the would-be farmer
are: crops grown, probable mar
kets, land and water costs, costs
of producing q particular crop,
probable yields, soils, wind and
water erosion, economic land clas-
sification, and many other per-
tinent points.
It has been suggested that the
veterans committee write q small
two or three page circular on the
agricultural possibilities Of Benton
county. A special subcommittee
will be appointed to make this
study and report to the entire
committee before final printing.
Gene Spaulding is chairman of
the advisory committee.

MORE POTATOES

Farmers are Delng urged to in
crease paintings of potatoes. Sup
plies of potatoes may be smaller

any IL months on record unless
farmers boost their present plant.
ing intentions. Short production
of late potatoes in 1914 has re-
suited in shortages of this i'm
portant food in some areas.
It is urged that farmers do not
plant heavily with early potatoes,
and the grower may take heavy
loss on early potatoes. The price
of early potatoes is not guaran-
teed by the VIA in this state.
Late potatoes, on the other hand,
are covered by a w Fla price-sup-
porting program. Late potatoes
appear to be in a much safer eco
nomic position this year than do
the earlier.

the need for farmer-cooperation
in boosting the supply of chicken
meat. There haven't been enough
chickens for some time to meet
the demand as a result of heavy
military purchases which cur
rently are taking practically all Of
the broilers in the four largest
commercial producing areas and
all of the canned chicken. Civil
ians consumed "a pounds of chic
en- per capita in 1914, but the sup
ply in sight for civilians in l945
is only 20 pounds unless farmers
produce more chickens for meat.
The smaller amount of red meats
that will be available for civilian
tables will automatically boost the
chicken demand even higher. The
supply of red meats for civilians
in 1945 probably will be no more
than 126 pounds as contrasted to
the 147 pounds consumed in 1914.
And backyard city folks could
also keep a few chickens. Your
county agent plans on having a
couple dozen in the back lot.

The government subsidy rate of
payments to. producers of milk
products will not change for April
as was Originally planned. The
rate of 20 cents per hundred
pounds milk will apply to April
as well as the winter months.
This decision was reached due
to the lateness of spring and hig
hay and labor costs.

Tn the first article of this series
= uas made clear that we must
have some organization to cope
,.,;th our immediate postwar
nrohlems. as well as with our
lone-ranee future. Some plan
must be ready to keep the econ
omic machinery going, when de-
tense industries begin to shut
down: to keep the increased pop
uiation working and eating; to
make provision for them and for
their children in the future econ
omic development of the region.
A Columbia Valley Authority, it
was stated, would do all this.
In a later article there will be
given a detailed analysis of the
Columbia Valley Authority that
would be set up by Senate Bill
ago. But before that it may be
well to understand just what Il
Valley Authority is, what it can

RAISE CHICKENS

We have word from the War
Food Administration on the food
situation and how the individual
farmer may be able to adjust to
answer the nations needs. Since
the quickest means of adding to
the short meat supply is to in
crease the number Of chickens
raised for meat, farmers are be-
ing urged to raise extra chickens
this spring to 60 to market before
marketing starts on the usual fall
supply of red meats. VIA has
contacted hatcheries to encourage
them to expand their Matching
operations this spring to provide
the extra chicks needed.
The facts about meat illustrate

P. L. WI have been going with
a man 5 years and he tells me he
loves me and says he is not married.
But he lives with another woman and
has been married and separated for
six years. This man says he wants to
marry me and l am wondering if he
loves me or is he just passing off
time?
Ans: What chance have you with a
man who has an estranged wife and
also a temporary wife? You are just
another plaything as far as he is con-
cerned . something to occupy his
spare time. This man is much too old
for you even if he were free to offer
you his love. Put him out of your life
permanently and encourage more de-
sirable friendships.

Fish
BY TED sHEAREI

Moderate rather than high tenn
peratures should be the rule regard
less of the cooking method used for
fish. This applies even to steaks
and fllets, which are frequently
broiled. Brush them with melted
fat, turn them once only and avoid
overlooking, which usually results in
dryness and loss of flavor.

Waxed Shovel

Shovels coated with melted paraf-
fin overcome the annoyance of wet
material sticking to them. This
saves the extra effort necessary to
knock snow off the shovel. To apply
the treatment to your shovel. just
heat the shovel enough to melt the
paraffn, then rub it on. Do not

tween you two and there is no way
for you to hold him once his interest
wanes. If he does not shoulder any
responsibility, contributing to the up
keep Of the home or his child, there
is no point in your allowing him to re-
main there and tolerating his sneers
and sarcasm. There is seldom any
true happiness realized when a couple
shuns legal marriage vows.
