Recently I sat with a group of my
colleagues at table and listened to
a shy, elderly man, who might have
been professor of Greek. talk about
dams. Just moment before had
been in the newsroom reading of the
terrible destruction which had lev
elled the cities of Europe. couldn't
help thinking of the paradox of civ
ilization as this quiet man, who is
the designing engineer for the great
est dams in the world, Grande Cou-
lee, Boulder, Shasta, the Norris dam
in the Tennessee valley and scores
of others all over the world, outlined
construction projects for Asia. His
program is the exact antitheSis of
what is going on in Europe.
John Lucian Savage is chief de-
signing engineer of the bureau of
reclamation of the department of the
interior. He has just returned from
IA months in the Far East where he
has conferred with Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek of China and with
officials in India and Palestine on
construction projects which dwarf
the worlds greatest efforts in this
direction.
DR.. Savage discussed these under
takings as if they were some beauti-
full little works of art which had, per-
haps, unitarian value, but which
after all were creations of the imagi-
nation, important in themselves. In
the course of half hour or so he
outlined projects which would af-
feet the life of literally millions of
people for untold generations and
might well change the course, not
only of their history, but the worlds.
He went to the Far East repre-
senting the U. S. government, loaned
by the department of the interior to
the state department as a specialist
under its cultural program. Much
has been said with eyebrows slight

to spread American culture and help
import some of that product from

"We went down the (Yangtze) riv-
er from Chungking," said DR.. Saw
age as if he were describing MOON
light ride on the Potomac, "by
steamboat and launch to within Is
kilometers (about nine miles) of
Ichang." Gater it was explained
that he had to stop because it hap
pened that a war was going on in
that vicinity.) II had with me all
the Typographical data I could find

Perennial
Plant Care
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

MAINTENANCE OF the per-
ennisl border is a constant
problem, but an easier one than
the maintenance of beds Of an
nual flowers. Wedding is a
necessity in either case. Both
types of beds may be dug and
started in either spring or fall.
Both need water if the weather
Is dry during the summer. But
about there the similarity ends.
Perennial border maintenance
includes division OF clumps Of
plants that are growing too
large. Most plants are best di-
vided right after they finish
blooming, regardless OF the
time of year this occurs. Anr-
way that is a good, safe rule 10

II the ground for the peren-
NAL border has been prepared
as we suggested in an earlier
article, a general fertilization

for a long time. Some few
perennials need coaxing with
special care, but most are per-
fectly happy with one meal a

Supervisors Act
to Abote Evils

crowded, insanitary and un-

Supervisors today ordered the

The action was taken after
routine reports of the Sheriff's

which had amazed the general
public and many supervisors.

mittee's regular work reports
