To Improve C. & D. Canal

U. S Army engineers have recon-
mended further improvement of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
1t is proposed to increase the depth
to 80 feet, with bottom width of
$50 feet. Col. c. l.. Hall made TIE
recommendation and said the sug-
gested improvements would cost APP
.proximately 100000. In addition
to the changes in the canal proper,
the recommendation calls for the
construction of two new high level
bridges and rail road bridge. The
proposal for additional anchorage
was turned down
Early dredging of the channel lead
ing to the upper bay and the C. & D.
Canal would save twelve miles to ves-
sells sailing to and from Baltimore.

The designer Of the> Honorable

Mr.. De Francisco, born in Italy
June 13, 1887, came to the United
States when 16 years of age and was
educated at Cooper Institute, the
Academy of Design and the Art Stu
dents League. He acted as assistant
to George T. Brewster, Philip Mar
tiny, Herman MacNeil and A. A
Weinman, all well-known sculptors
between 1907 and 1917, but became
AN instructor in sculpture at Colum-
bia University in 1915 and increas-
ingly engaged in private practice
from that date onward. His works
include the beautiful Peace Dollar

Servicemen and women in Army
or Navy hospitals waiting for dis
charge are now eligible for CT Bill
loans. So are officers on terminal
leave.
Since these people are still in the
service, they don't have honorable
discharges or certificates of service
So how can they prove they're ELI
gible for a CT Bill load? After all
an honorable discharge or a salts.
factory certificate of service is now
an ex-GIs certificate of eligibility
you know.
The VA has issued its new loan
regulations.
For officers on terminal leave, their
leave papers probably will carry
enough material to establish their
eligibility to the satisfaction of the
Veterans Administration. If the VA
isn't convinced, either the regional
Office will check with the proper
armed service, or the officer himself
can get the necessary information
to establish his eligibility.
That may take so much time the
officer might just as well wait fol
his terminal leave to end and then
try to get his CT Bill loan. Yet the
VA doesn't know of any other way
to go about it.
One who's hospitalized while wait
ing discharge probably will have te
get letter from his co or adjutant
explaining that he Is going to be
discharged straight from the hospi-
tai and that he won't be sent back
to duty.

PrintmakerS'
Presentation

To support the work of living
artists is the most important activity
of the art lover. Had this not been
done, through many centuries, there
would be no "old masters" now to
enjoy. Character of the patrons has
varied, comprising church, royalty
nobility, wealth, industry, and al
ways, of course, a. small minority of
discerning private citizens.
Not the least active today In sup
porting artists and placing excellent
works in peoples homes are the
subscription organizations, launched
by individuals or groups. In this
class is "The Society of Print Con-
noisseurs," inaugurated the end OF
the year by Alfred Fowler, whose
headquarters is now in Alexandria.
Its objective is to have important
fine prints made by outstanding con-
temporary artists for exclusive dis
tribution to its members (member-
ship being limited to 200). Members
pay annual dues, in return for which
they receive each year, two presen-
tation prints, made especially for
the society.
The first of these was recently
sent out, a superb portrait in dry
point, entitled Lancaster County
Farmer" by Arthur William Heint-
zelman GllustrateO. The caliber
of the new society is well estab-
lished by this work. The artist is
one Of our few most gifted exponents
Of etching and dry point; the list of
awards he has received and of per-
manent collections in which he is
represented is far too long to give
in it's entirety. In this city, it in
cludes the Library of Congress and
the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
Lancaster County Farmer" por-
trays strong, rugged, middle-aged
native American, whose grave, intel
igent face is weathered by years of
sun and wind and rain. Not only has
Mr.. Heintzelman captured his ex-
preston in its subtlest details, he
has also indicated varying textures
with a perfection of technique that
arouses ones strongest admiration.
Merely by the delicacy or strength of
his line he has indicated the mans
weather. beaten but vital face, his
thick hair, his course working
clothes.
AS Mr.. Heintzellnan's major in
terest from the beginning of his
career has been the representation
of human character, it was natural
that he would find his inspiration
in Rembrandt. And since it takes
a good deal of living to give faces
individuality and expressiveness, it
is also natural that Mr.. Heintzelman
would prefer the lined countenances
of those who have passed their
youth.

tinues to direct two groups, the

more appropriate that old-age bene-
fits should be related to salary
earned at or near retirement, par
ticularly if there is continuing
long-term rise in wages and the cost
of living.
Perhaps the simplest plan. one
used successfully in private industry,
is to retain the Retirement Act in
tact with respect to benefits and
contributions and simply slip In the
social security plan, with full bene-
fits and taxes. This double-deck
policy would mean that, at present
rates, civil service workers would pay
s per cent of salary up to $4,000 and
S per cent thereafter, but get larger
retirement benefits in all cases as
well as family benefits and highly
valuable survivor insurance.
Another method which would leave
the civil service structure virtually
unchanged but would not increase
employe contributions is an offset
plan. Government workers would be
completely covered by the social Sc
curity old-age and survivors terms
but, on retirement, the civil service
benefits would be reduced by the
amount of the social security an
nuity based on Government salary
Under this proposal, total payments
would never fall below present bene-
fits but important survivor protec-
ton would become available.
The impartial congressional study
should, once and for all, dispel all
notions that acceptance of basic So
cial insurance is but a prelude to the
downfall of the pension program
which the Government has set up
for its staff. Any extension within
the framework presented will profit
the great majority of employees
Some may remain in status quo, a
few may lose slightly. 1t is impos-
sible to assure gain for each one
without an unduly costly or complex
system.
