Another way to make It is to
pass the first end round the second
end, then bring the two ends back
to their standing parts, passing
one part round the other so that
two parts OF each rope pass
through the blight in the same di-
rection. If we are not careful, we
shall make the ends come out one
under and one over the blight,
thereby making "a granny knot,
which is apt to slip.
In a later article, we shall tell
you how to make other knots.

In some knots, we use only one
end of a rope; in other knots we
use two ropes or the two ends of
one rope, and in this case there
are two ends a n d two standing
parts. Sailors call a coil or a loop
in a rope a blight.
Also notice that in our illustra-

valuable knot of all, is the reef
knot. 1t is commonly used in
joining two ropes or two ends of
n rope. We make a blight of the
first end, with the end and stand
ing part side by side. Then we
pass the other end up through
the blight again.

Second Chance On Waterway

The answer to that question viii be told IN
large part IN the short space Of q month The
Engineer office Ia soon to announce a public
hearing on the project which viii take place
80 days after the announcement, AT that
hearing The people Of this region must make
an overwhelmingly sound and persuasive
case for this project, must show With facts
and figures and the kind Of solid arguments
that engineers can respect that this part OF
the nation Will be strengthened by the WATER
way. II We fail to DO 10, the project viii get
n. negative recommendation from the En-
gineefB when they report back 10 Congress.
And there III almost no known instance OF
Congress appr0pflating money for u rivers
and harbors project when the army engineers
advised against II.
How do We stand, therefore, as the date Of
this hearing draws close. We should ask our
selves II We are prepared for this all import
ant examination We shall have To undergo.
The answer IL that we are not we'll prepared.
Tho natural facts wIsch make this waterway
Of vital necessity exist In abundance. But We
have done almost nothing 10 collect them, ar-
range them, and organize them In the brief,
accurate language and the cold figures that
constitute the language Of army engineers.
An expert economic analysis OF the project
should be- made throughout the whole area 10
be effected, and II should be- undertaken Inn
mediately In order that II might be ready on
time for the hearing,
We do not have 10 convince 0na another
that we want this project; We want H. The
people we have 10 convince are the Corps Of
Engineers and the United States Congress,
The work Of urging this program upon one
another and upon the public At civic gather
ingg Is important. But right now the primary
task IL gathering and arranging facts, facts,
facts, 40 that We can drive home the need for
this development NJ the public hearing.

Almost forty years ago the people Of this
region got their first opportunity to realize q
deep-channeI development In the Pascagoula
river system when the late bennt0f Pat Haf.
rison, then q young politician at the dawn Of
his career and with all the vigor of youth,
presented the plan and fought II through Us
preliminary battles In Washington.
Through no fault Of senator Harrison's, that
first campaign resulted In failure; the pro-
posal wal shelved; the plans were returned
20 the files" In the endless corridors Of
Washington, there 10 reposc gathering dust
Of the passing years,
The cause Of that failure was the lack OF
interest and lack Of support exhibited by the
people Of our section. The idea was q good
one and q leader Of peerless skill wns avail.
able 10 fight for the cause In Congress. But
the all-important element Of local support
was missing. Other competitive bills Of the
same nature were pressed more vigorously
by the people Of other regions, and the Pas
caRoula waterway project was out In the cold
when the funds available to the Congress OF
that day were passed around,
Today, after a walt of almost half u century
and after the development of formerly I'M
dreamed OF oil resources and national eco
nomic trends toward the deep south region,
we have Mt last been given q second chance
10 put this vital project over. The first great
hurdle has been taken successfully. The
House public works committee has reported
Rep. W. M. colmer's waterway bill faVorably
and has instructed the u. s. Engineers office
at Mobile to hold q public hearing TO de-
termine whether this work should be UNDER
taken.
And we stand today exactly where the
people OF this region stood when Pat Harrison
first shaped up this waterway plan almost
forty years ago. And this leads us TO a vital
question: Are We going TO make the same
mistake, are we going TO let this issue, which
could determine the economic fortunes oi
this area for a hundred years 10 come, fade
away once more and return 10 the dusty flies
because we do not really have the intelli.
gencc. the stamina, the energy TO drive thi'
plan to a successful conclusion.
