OUTDOORS

The Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors will hold public hear
ings commencing April 3 on their
proposed postwar hydroelectric and
flood control project which necessi-
tates the building of IA dams on the
Potomac River and some of it's trib-
utaries. This column already is on
record as opposing the project. Here
are some of the reasons why:
Admittedly floods in the Potomac
do cause damage from time to time.
The engineers propose to abate this
damage approximately 21.6 per cent
by permanently flooding the areas
now temporarily affected. Their re-
port of February IA specifically states
that reservoirs for flood control
alone were found to be not econom-
ically feasible"
The pollution abatement offered
by this project merely is pollution
dilution and not pollution eradica-
ton. If you were going to wash
your face and hands in basin and
found it had been polluted, would
you pour in more water and then
wash in it? You would not.
There has been considerable pub
licity about the attractive recrea-
tional features of the project. One
imagines series of beautiful lakes,
abounding in fish, whose spar
king sun-SWept waters one can sail
and canoe and motorboat;; whose
wooded shores are dotted with lovely
summer cottages, lighthouses and
docks. The engineers don't say this,
but from comment we've heard
we'll bet this is what you've been
thinking. Never forget the fact that
the main purpose of the whole prof.
ect is the generation of hydroelec-
trio power. The dams forming the
lakes are to store up water against
time Of drought. This stored water
is "drawn-down" when the normal
supply is diminished. 1t is this
"draw-down" about which little is
said, and less known by the layman.
The average "draw-down" for
the River Bend plant, which is to
be located Just above Great Falls, is
to be approximately 10 feet and at a
maximum would approximate Is
feet In other words, the water level
of this lake, extending some 40-odd
miles up river, would be lowered that
much. Lowering the level even 10
feet would ring this lake around
with mud flats extending away out
from the normal shoreline-a bare,
nInrnIIc t,o11dIu acff
mated to cover from 1000 to 5000
acres, depending upon the amount
OF "draw-down" The down
in some of the other lakes runs as
great as SO to more than 100 feet
Isn't this fine recreational picture
to contemplate compared with the
lovely river of today?
The Game Stocking Committee of
the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chapter
of the Isaaz Walton League recently
has liberated 81 rabbits In Mont
gomery County. These cottontaiIs
were supplied by the Maryland
Game and Inland Fish Commission
and came originally from Missouri
During normal years, more shotgun
shells are fired at rabbits than at
any other species of North American
game. The rabbit also furnishes
more meat for the sportsman than
any other species. In Missouri alone,
the cottontail harvest in a normal
year totals about 100000, yielding
approximately 100000 pounds of
dressed meat. Total for the Nation
is estimated at close to 100000

In prewar eyars. high school enroll

of IL Is attributed To boys and girls taking
