Estimated Cost OF E5c:eational Park
Al Seneca Lake Will Be Sl5O, 100000

A program for the improvement of
Seneca Lake, Noble county, was out
lined recently at Cambridge when
Bryce Browning of New Philadel-
phia, secretary of the Muskingum
watershed conservancy district, was
principal speaker at luncheon
meeting of the Rotary club.
Regarding charges made that the
| conservancy district would assume
control of leased property in the dis
trict after a period of IA years, Mr..
Browning said it was a state law
that a lease can be made for only
IA years and it was the option of
the leasee to renew a lease for an
other period. ''The law also reads, ]"
he said, that any person can drop
his lease at any time and remove
facilities he has installed on the
property.
The second misunderstanding that
has arisen here, Browning said, was
that Seneca Lake was not getting
fair share of money being spent for
improvements of lakes in the water
shed district. Gas matter of fact," +"
he remarked, Seneca Lake has re-
ceived more fund appropriations
than most of the other lakes put to-
gether."
Mr.. Browning made mention of
the fact that Leesville was said to
be the favorite step child of the
MCD' because of the work done
there. He explained that extensive
tree planting was carried out at
Leesville because of various groups
using the area who could undertake
the project.
At Leesville, according to the
speaker, the NYA camp started the
project of tree planting and when
| SeaBeeS used the lake as a training
| base, the project was continued.
Even during the war, Browning said,
conscientious objectors at Leesville
planted trees.
In explaining recreational i'm
provements and facilities to be
added at Seneca Lake, he said that
detailed plans would be completed
this fall and that construction would
start early next spring
Plans already drawn up call for
completion of the bathing beach,
erection of a dressing room, new
toilet facilities, drinking facilities, a
large and improved parking area
and rehabilitation of the diving plat
form.
At the picnic area, Browning said
an adequate drinking water supply
will be provided and many other i'm
provementS made.
He said that already the. MCD had
received shipment of tables for the
lake and materials for fireplaces
were on order and expected to ar
rive in the near future.
Approximate cost of construction
at Seneca Lake will be $150,000, he
said Of this total, $4,000 will be
spent by the state for erection of a
shelter house or houses, depending

Redskins Drub Marietta Reserves $40
Entire Squad Sees Action AS Caldwell
Scores Lopsided Non-Lea9ue Win

The Redskins easily defeated Al
weak Marietta Reserve team 37-O
last Thursday night on the local
field for their second win of the sea
son. The locals scored in every
quarter as Coach Ramsey used prac-
tically every sub at his command.
Caldwell received the opening
kickoff and advanced into Marietta
territory before being forced to punt
on fourth down and three to 60. A
few minutes later, however, they
marched 38 yards for their first
score, Tilton circling right end for
the tally from the ten. Merry's at
tempted placement was low. The
Redskins added another touchdown
just before the quarter. Tilton reeled
off 18 yards to the 12-yard line,
where Jimmy Pee Wee" Potts on
a reverse, cut back through the left
side of the line to score making it
12-0 at the quarter. Merry's kick was
blocked.
Early in the second quarter, Tilton
took the ball on handoff from
Craft, the quarterback, and raced
around right end for As yards and
another score. Merry's kick was
wide this time. With the score 1870,
SOdCn ramsey sent IN the SUBS, VINO
finished the first half.
The Redskins added six more
points in the third on a sustained
drive of 72 yards with Ferguson
scoring from the Is yard line, on a
cut back to the left side of the line.
Merry's fourth attempted placement
was low, the score reading 24-0 at
the end of the third quarter.
Craft, Ferguson and Tilton set up
the next score in the last period.
Craft intercepted pass on Cald-
wells 40 and returned it to the
Marietta 40. After marching to the
9-yard line, Ferguson cracked over
center to score, Tilton rounded right
end for the only extra point of the
game, making it $40.
Toward the close of the game,
Ferguson shot 24-yard pass to
Christopher on the Is yard line of
Marietta for first down. After
Riski picked up one yard, Craft
Tipped an aerial to Christopher on
the 10-yard line, the latter going
over to score standing up. This time
Jack Fowler attempted to dropkick
the point but it was no good, the
game ending 37-0.

RUMORS ARE FLYING. This time

football games. According to Direc-
tor Wood, the band has not received
an invitation as yet, but they would
definitely consider it. The whole
story began when several local fans
saw the Browns play last week with
visiting bands performing at the

Michigan's high scoring Wolverines,
uses the single wing as his basic
offense but runs some plays from
the T. He calls these his alumni

the coach behind times if he doesn't
use the T to some extent. In fact
only three teams in the Western
Conference rely entirely upon the
T-Illinois, Northwestern, and Pur-
due. Others such as Minnesota and
Indiana run so percent of their plays
from single or double wing. Notre
Dame, which has had great success
with the T, is now using direct
passes, and spinners as well. Ohio
State uses winged T with an un-
balanced line, Wisconsin and Iowa
employ direct and indirect boxes,

top teams still argue in favor of the

swing is toward the wingback.

the state would handle these funds

When Costs Outrun Earnings

The American railroads are handling a record-breakingv volume
Of peacetime traffic. Yet a number of major roads III operating at a
loss and earnings for the industry as a whole are far below what they
should be if the lines are to avoid financial disaster and are to con-
tnue to improve their plant and better their services to the public.
That statement was recently filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission in support of the railroads petition for rate increases.
Bascally, the railroads problem is that costs have far outrun
rate adjustments. Since 1889, freight rates have gone up l per cent.
In the same period, wage rates have risen 81 per cent, the average
price Of railroad materials has gone up 81 per cent, and the rate of
payroll taxes has increased So per cent.
The upshot Of all this will be that in 1913, unless higher freight
rates a authorized, the rate of return on railroad investment with be
less than two and one half per cent. And that does not take into ac-
count thehigher operating costs that may develop in the future. The
United States Supreme Court, and many regulatory bodies, have re-
peatedly held that six per cent is a fair and reasonable return for
regulated utilities
and taxes The industry cannot be expected to provide the expanding,
improving services the country requires at rates which are slightly
above the prewar level.

LABOR DEPARTMENT URGED
TRANSFER APPRENTICES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sec
rotary of Labor Schwellenbach
was urged by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People to transfer the Ap-
premiership Training Service
from the Housing and Home Fin
ance Agency to the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor in order to fore
stall the possible loss of the ser
vice through revisions in the
HHFA's program. The transfer
was firstsuggested by Clarence
Mithcell. NAACP Labor Secretary
during. a recent conference with
Mr.. Scnwellenbach. Mr.. Mitchell,
in suggesting the transfer, indi-
Gated that under such a set-up
there would be greater opportuni-
ties for increasing the present
number of apprentices in the vital
building trades, where today, out
out of approximately 100000 per-
sons taking this training, less
than 1000 are Negroes.
The Labor Secretary was urged
by Walter White today, to take
some action on the proposed tran
sfer. In a letter to Mr.. Schwellen-
bcah, the NAACP head declared,
Knowing the importance of de-
veloping skilled craftsmen in the
construction field, we are very an
xious to see something done which
will increase the participation Of
colored people in this program.
With the current needs in the
building trades, the construction
industry is q good place to give
emphasis at this time. I hope
that the Department of Labor will
be able to include this phase of
the program yin Apprenticeship
Training Service as was sug-
gested.
