tied to carry out the most essen
tial maintenance work on the pro-
jects where the greatest traffic ex-
lists. Much maintenance work was
postponed during the war years,
Colonel Walsh said Sand it now
appears that we must wait anoth-
er year before all desired MAIN
tenance work can be accomplish
plished."
He said he would recommend
that funds be made available for
necessary maintenance dredging
between Vancouver, Washington
and Bonneville so that the author
lied 27-foot ship channel can be
used. A controlling depth Of Is
feet now exists, limiting that por-
ton of the river to barge traffic.
The Portland Army Engineer
district has 80 active river and
harbor projects which has been
authorized by Congress, according
to Colonel Walsh. The 1945 Riv-
ers and Harbors Act calls for five
new projects, including the M
provement of Coos Bay, with a
turning basin, at an estimated cost
of $4,000, 900.
Another of the new projects is
Improvement of the Columbia Riv-
er between Vancouver and The
Dalles at an estimated cost Of ST.
176,00O with additional features
including a ten-foot channel 800
feet wide at the entrance to Ore
gon Slough, $4,000; small boat
basin at Hood River with a ten
foot channel 200 feet wide con-
Meeting to deep water, 500, 900: and
a ten-foot channel 200 feet wide
connecting the water front at Bin
gen, to the main channel through
Bonneville Lake, 1O1 500.
The other three projects includ-
ed in the Authorization bill pro-
vide small boat basins at The
Dalles, Astoria and Newport.
sWith the fishing industry grow
ing so rapidly along the Oregon
coast, it is felt that these small
boat harbors are an essential part
of the Northwest's economy" Col
onel Walsh said.
DurlnS the coming year, ne
pointed out "Army Engineers have
also been charged with the con-
struction of veterans hospitals,
and the Maritime Commission has
requested the Corps of Engineers
to provide suitable anchorages for
their reserve fleet, one Of which,
it is understood, will be located on
tho Cn1,,uohio ysivyays -
Colonel Walsh said The Dalles-
Cello canal handled 500, $50 tons
of commerce during 1915, greatest
in its history, and that tonnage this
year appears to be 40 per cent
greater than last year.

OuUners Can Claim
 Riuer Banks

Like LaSalle, the explorer, at the banks of the Mississippi Assistant City Engineer Henry Whitlock and the Board of Works have claimed the banks of Waterbury's Nauga- tuck river.
 On motion of the assistant engi- neer the board last night voted to establish permanent boundaries on both sides of the river from West Main Street, to a point below Bun- ker Hill. Landowners in some sec- tions have been dumping fill into the river thus extending their land but decreasing the width of the rivers boundaries. No river lines ever have been laid out so that landowners may easily claim the river banks, the engineer said.
 Perhaps a fitting ceremony with the members of the board planting the municipal banner on the banks will mark the occasion. No plans have yet been formulated, one me1l- for a report fro mthe metorologiSt Der said. It seems they are waiting as to a day when the wind will be blowing down-river.

 Before Lions Club
 Tomorrow Noon

Dr. John M. Freiheit, gyncologist and obstetrician, will speak on can- cer at the weekly meeting of the Lions Club tomorrow at The Elton in connection with the Connecticut Cancer Society's campaign drive be- ing conducted during the month of April.
 Sixty percent of the money con- tributed to the Connecticut Cancer Campaign during April will be re- tained for use in Connecticut, &C., cording to a statement by state chairman Jesse W. Randall, presi- dent of the Travellers Insurance Co. The money will be used in the state program in two ways: to spread knowledge to everybody in every community that cancer is curable in it's earliest stages; and to help cor11- Inunities to provide more and bet ter clinical facilities for the preven- tion diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The balance will be used by the American Cancer Society for research treatment and service, the largest percentage going to the Na- tional Research program Fellow ships will be made available to capable scientists who are devoting their lives to finding 8 cure for this great killer of humanity.
 The Connecticut Cancer Society's goal is $277, 40. Waterbury's quota is $l7,876. Headquarters of the Wa terbury committee is at 95 North Main Street where literature on the general subject Guard Those You Love-Give To Conquer Cancer, is available,

Rotary Hears 
 China Leaders
 Paid Tribute

Continued aid and friendship to China were advocated by Dr. James L. McConaughy, president of United China Relief, in an address to members of the Rotary Club at The Elton yesterday afternoon. The new China, he said, has nerve and en- thusiasm, but it must be remem- bered that she is young in democ- racy.
 Reporting on a recent trip. to the Orient, Dr. McConaughy pointed out that China has many grave problems to solve, but said her leaders are determined to rebuild their war-ravaged country
 China'S Rotarians, said Dr. Me- Conaughy, possess a pioneering spirit. He brought greetings from Rotary clubs at Running and Chungking. The clubs, he stated, are like China itself in their youth and enthusiasm.
 The new democracy, he said, is being Superinposed on a civili2a- ton many centuries old. China, he went on, wants to experiment and some mistakes can be expected.

 Responding 10 Red
 Cross Call for Aid

An immediate increase in funds for the 1946 Red Cross campaign was realized when the people of Waterbury were reminded that the original desdline for the end of the drive had already passed without their making contribution, James J. Curtin, acting chairman of the extended drive, revealed this morn- ing. As soon as people realized that the drive was ending, proceeds for the drive grew, Curtin added. This morning the fund reached $103,000 towards the goal of $135,000.
 Curtin also announced that the fund campaign committee would hold a meeting .at the Red Cross Chapter House on Grove Street, Friday at 4:30 p. m. He felt cer- tain that the continued response of the public would bring the fund to its goal shortly, and hoped to have Q favorable report to submit at the Friday meeting. Curtin said that the immediate response of the public when they learned that the drive did not reach its quota on April treasured him that the people of Waterbury would not let the Red Cross down in their 1946 campaign. He added that he hoped that the spirit shown during the last several days would continue.
 If any office has not already been solicited by Red Cross workers, Cur tin requested that they make their own collection and notify Red Cross headquarters. The Motor Corps girls will be sent to the office to pick up the donation, he added. Individual checks are also being accepted for the drive. They should be sent to the Red Cross at 35 Field Street or to the Chapter House at 165 Grove Street.
 Many volunteer street solicitors have still failed to make a final return to the fund office. Curtin asked that all solicitors who still have donations to turn in do so as soon as possible so that the re- turns can be tallied.
