This Job Is All Wet

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -
! (H)-When it rains and SHOWS, pity
the poor guy who has to go out and
see what's happening. He's the wa
ter inspector, or water commission
er as he's known in western COM
munities. It's his job to protect the
vital lifeline of the drylands-the
dams and reservoirs and irrigation
bitches.
In Ell PasO county, he's J. NJ
Pribble. In 10 years on the lob
he's fought through every kind OF
bad weather except a typhoon
When there's a fash food, Pribble
has to see that the runOff doesn't
run off with the gates along the
bitches. He must make weekly
measurements of all available wa
ter-and snow. He must find out
how fast it's disappearing and ad-
wise farmers and water companies
accordingly.
Wet weather doesn't bother
Pribble as much as the late sum
mer drOughts. He's the policeman
expected tc enforce water rights
and priOrities as the supply dWin-
dies. If farmer is sneaking a lit
tie extra water from the ditch for
his parched fields, Pribble has to
stop him-and still remain his
friend. His area covers a noun
tain and plains region which
would make a nice-sized little ma
tion in crowded Europe. It in
cludes eight reservoirs, with a
capacity of nearly 5000, O,OOO, 900 OBJ
gallons. From them runmiles and
miles Of bitches, carrying the life
blood to rich farming areas which
once were dry, desolate wastes.

Trust Is Bust In Berlin
AP Newsfeatnr.ea

! BERLIN = The confidence game
is reaping rich harVests for Berlin
crooks, and lonesome women are
its chief victims.
The official Soviet newspaper,
"Taegliche Rundsehau," surveying
Berlin's crime picture, told Berlin
ers that petty thefts could be re-
duced by so per cent If people were
more distrustful."
1t had an especially unsympa-
thetic word for man-hungry young
women who "after three dances
with u new acquaintance take him
home and then are astOnished if,
next day, he has made off with
their -valuables and perhaps part of
their furniture"
Another trick of attractive
young men, who. are met through

date bureaus is to make off with
the coats Of their women compan-
ions after they are left in dance
hall cloak rooms.
Perhaps the most frequent con-
tidence games are played with food
ration cards. A "sharpie" will ap-
proach a citizen and offer him a
plan for getting. double his ration
on the card. When the guileless
person parts with his card-it Is
for good, for the crook never re-
turns.
Another well-known operator
is the fake policeman. Bogus cops
dupe citizens into opening their
homes for searches which eventu-
ally cost them dearly-in foods.

Mr.. Raymond w. Cannon,

Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Dear Mr.. Cannon:
We note in an article which ap-
peared in the Recorder Spokes-
man that you have registered a
protest against discrimination and
segregation in the armed services
by refusing to serve on a draft
board
AS you perhaps know, AttuCkS-
Brooks Legion Post has taken an
active part in the fight to elimi-
nate racial discrimination and seq
regation, particularly in depart
ments of the federal and state
governments.
We therefore wish to commend
you for the fortnight and cour-
ageouS position you have taken in
refusing to accept appointment to
draft board whose function will
be to induCt Negro youths into a
Jim Crow Army. There is con-
slant need for just such acts as
yours to prick the conscience Of
that segment Of white America
which speaks so glibly and plous-
ly of extending democracy in for
eign countries yet does so pitlfully
little to correct the obvious I'M
democratic practices in this coun-
try.
Very truly yours,
AttuCkS- Brooks Post,

feel it necessary TO substantiate
BTH.'s statements now so that
you can know that others feel the
same way.
Your paper can be of great
service to the community in
moulding opinions by analysing
the issues which confront minor

news in general in an objective
manner.
Why then do you deem it neces-
Sary to fill up a column with an
account of your personal day by

You already have staff writers
as suggested by B.TH. who can
supply any demand from your
readers for embryonic Eleanor

Cedric Adams. Give them plenty
of bylines and cut down on the
editorial we" In that way your
publication will read more like a
top flight weekly and less like a
main street journal or a high

This criticism is by no means
original with B.T.H. or with the
