twice the rate of growth; we will
need 80 million kiloWatts of ad-
ditional power by 1870 of which
80 million XIV should be hydro
electrically provided by the fed
eral government; we must ex-
tract oil from the shale and coal;
we must maintain the principle
of the family-sized farm.
Said Secretary Krug: "The
basic and traditional principles
which assure the use, develop
ment and conservation of our
natural resources for the bene-
fit of the people as whole, were
seriously attacked during the
80th congress by those who
| would like to be able to exploit
our resources for private gain.
This attack came dangerously
close to success, particularly in
sofar as it was directed at the
public power program and the
concept of the family-sized
farm.
Testimony before the house
and senate committees on labor
and public welfare in hearings
on the increase of the minimum
wage in the wages and hours
act, is enlightening. More testi-
mony insofar as the larger cities
and towns are concerned is that
the raise from 40 to rs cents an
hour minimum will cause no
hardship since that wage is al
ready being paid. Not SO, how
ever, in many small business
concerns in small towns and rur-
al areas, mostly in the south.
Some testimony was brought out
that average wage of unskilled
labor in many sections of the
South is about SO cents an hour
and that a boost to rs cents will
put some small businesses out OF
business.

The report of the commission
headed by former president Her
bert Hoover on reorganization of
the executive branch of the fed
eral government likely will be
filed piecemeal with the congress
between now and March 13 when
the commission will officially
die. Several billion" dollars
would be saved if report of the
commission is carried out and
more effective and efficient gov
ernment would result, according
to the report. President Truman
is in full accord with the report
of the commission.
In the meantime, of tremend-
Gus importance as the congress
got down to the committee stage
IN legislation was a report made
by Secretary of Interior J. A.
krug before the senate commit
tee on interior and insular af-
fairs headed by Senator Joseph
c. O'Mahoney, of Wyoming.
Secretary Krug's report was
revealing in its scope both in the
work being done with our natur-
al resources and what is not be-
ing done but should be done tc
conserve the raw materials and
energy required by the nation
to produce the staggering amount
of goods and services necessary
for standard of living.
For instance, we consumed
two billion barrels of oil, siz
hundred million tons of coal, OF
million tons of iron and stee
and 800 billion kiloWatt- hours OF
electric power last year. But Wha
happened in addition to this ire
mendous output? For every two
tons Of coal mined, one was lef
in the ground and lost; more en-
ergy was wasted through flarin&
of natural gas in the fields thar
| is produced by the entire serie!
of IVA dams; weight of the av
erage automobile increased il
the face of declining iron ore anc
| oil reserves; public range lanc
was OveT-grazed at the cost O.
less meat and wool tomorrow
we waste more undeveloped ell
ectric power than we produce
| and burn in the air a fifth of tht
natural gas we produce.
What we need to do is look fo1
more mineral ores in the 80 pc
cent of our area which is no
even geologically mapped; WE
need to add II million acres t
farm land by irrigation and in
crease yields on 9 million NOR,

Women veterans are entitled to
the same medical care for service
disabilities as male veterans, ac-
cording to VA. In addition, fe-
male veterans may be hospital
lied in civilian hospitals if medi-
cally emergent, upon authoriza-
ton by VA, for non-service con-
nected disabilities, but not for

which are not service-connected
in nature, women veterans will
be hospitalized in accordance
with availability of beds in VA
hospitals.
Male veterans with non-Service
connected disabilities, under eX-
listing laws, cannot be treated in
private hospital or by private
doctors at federal expense. They
are entitled to treatment for non

THE POETS CORNER
THOUGHTS AT TWILIGHT

I sit here alone in the twilight
Thinking of the days gone by
When we were SO gay and happy
With never fear a sigh.
I can see the sun slowly sinking
It's rays tinting the land and sea
And know that Our Father in Heaven
Is watching DER you and me.
Or the trials meet with each day
Are they just part of the cross we bear
Till Jesus will call away?
Does He see us when our footsteps falter
And down by the wayside fall
When earth cares to help us
Will Jesus be near when we call?
When life dull and dreary
And hearts heavy with pain
When the friends we thought true aften fail
Will find peace with Jesus again?
When with sorrow and pain we're afflicted
And the sun disappears from our view
Can count on the who has suffered for us
Who loves and forgives anew? ~-
There's deaf Friend that cares for our trials
Who can help with sorrow and pain
If we just have faith in his goodness
He will bear all our burdens again

|CAPPING
the CAPITAL
With BEN HAYES

Columbus - Easter shoppers,
flocking soon to High street, will
discover a marked change in the
capital city. Hundreds of new
buildings and remodelings have
altered the appearance of Co.
lumbus for the better. 1t looks
newer and cleaner-perhaps it
could be called the California
look.
Approaching Columbus from
the east, the motorist who trav-
els route 40 reaches the Holly
wood strip at Reynoldsburg,
and from there all the way into
and through Bexley the highway
is flanked by motels, drive-ins
and other Establishments cater
ing to the heavy cross-country
traffic and the JOY riders who
leave the city on inviting days.
The open winter has permitted
erection of many more motels.
This is a profitable business. Al
Haft, who operates the Haft Mo-
tel, reports that every room on
his court has been filled from
April to October without excep-
ton, year after year. D1iveins
are summertime gold mines.
Bob and Larry Baer, who own
the Towne House, disclosed they
sold 700 pounds of French fried
potatoes daily last summer. And
a passel of hamburgs and cubed
steaks went along with those
spuds. Also milk shakes and cof-
fee, and VS. of pie.
Between Route 40 and the
Newark Road, (Route 16) an en-
tire new town has sprung up.
Mostly brick apartment buildings
in the areas called Eastmoor,
Fairmoor, Mayfair and White
hall. So many people now that
there are not shopping centers
to serve them.
The Miracle Mile "a name lift
ed from Hollywood's Wiltshire
BouleVard) is partly an answer
to this new population of good
spenders. Don Casio is building
this huge, complete suburban
shopping center on E. Broad
street, so big that it will have &
service for rounding up lost
children. Even the J. c. Penny
Co. will have a store in the Mir
acle Mile. The first section, op-
ening this week, includes super,
markets, a Moore's store, a photo
studio, restaurant, and other
shops. Gift shops, a Kresge store
more markets, a furniture store
and a theatre will be included
in sections now under construc.
ton.

ment.
The design for the Scent Wash
ington and Lee University stamp
was given to the press last week,

for them as guests of the Presi-

they numbered 40 men, and after
a collation. at the National, they
were taken to the armory and
provided with sabers. and from
there to Cooks Hall, Eighth street,
where they drilled until 10:30.
The Baltimore Law Grays came
over on February 81. to be here
the following day for the exer-
cises. The Reed Rifles Of Ches-
tertown, Md, commanded by Capt.
E. T. Perkins; Simeon Wickes,
first lieutenant; John Broadley,
second lieutenant, and John Dwy-
er, third lieutenant, also came
here and participated, and the
local contingent that took part
included the Washington Light
Infantry, the National Rifles and
the Potomac Light Infantry.
City Decorated
The city was in gala attire for
the occasion. Many of the houses
on the avenue displayed the colors
and were otherwise decorated. and
suspended across the historic thor
oughfare between Ninth and
Tenth streets was a large banner
inscribed:
Welcome! Welcome! Virginia
and Maryland Military; New York
7th Regiment. All hail to our
District Military!
Judging by the press accounts.
the parade for that period was
both spectacular and formidable.
THE military column Of escort
and other organizations" we are
told, left the City Hall az 3
o'clock. marching by Third street
to Pennsylvania avenue. thence by
the avenue to the Presidents
Mansion, then halting to receive
the partial the procession there
assembled, and thence proceeding
to the circle containing the
statue"
A correspondent who covered
the exercises for his home journal
said:
Altogether it was the first mill
tary and civil display in WASH
ington for many years. Pennsyl-
vania avenue was crowded with
both residents and visitors. The
patriotic excitement was intense.
owing to the anticipated interest
ing events. The view of the pro-
cession as it neared the circle Of
the great point Of attraction was
truly splendid.
The procession having reached
the circle. the military wheeled to
the right of the inclosure. while
the prominent civilians entered it
and took seats on the platform.
The cabinet officers, with the
exception Of Secretary Floyd, sat
together. The President, Vice
and Clark Mills, the art
ist, were in promixity to each
other, and the orator Of the day
was. of course. conspicuous.
THE platform was tastefully
decorated with the flags of Eng
land, France, Russia, Prussia. Aus
tria. Brazil, Peru, Chill, the Meth
erlands. Ecuador. Denmark. Por-
tugal, Sardinia, Central America,
Naples, Spain, Mexico. Buenos
Aires. Paraguay and Rome. Our
own flag waved above all and the
desk was profusely decorated with

In concluding his remarks,
President Buchanan said:
May the God of our fathers
preserve the Constitution and the
Union for ages yet to come. May
they stand like the everlasting
hills. against which the tempests

vanity of human greatness; but it

Tribute to Washington
The next day the President in
addressing, the 7th Regiment,
prior to its departure said: THE
Congress of the United States
made provision for the erection Of
an equestrian statue to the Father
Of his Country. It was yesterday
inaugurated: and through the
rain. the mud and the inclement
weather you appeared as II you
had been on holiday parade: and
we all thank you for the sacrifices
you have made in doing us this
honor. The statue was inaugu-
rated. 1t was a national, not q
municipal, occasion. The statue
was executed by the authority OF
Corfgress-it was inaugdrated by
Congress. and we thank you for
your great and important services
during the ceremonial. Who
would not do honor to the men,
ory and name of Washington? He
is endeared to the heart of every
American. and as long as the
22d of February shall come in
each successive year. so long let
it be day of cherished patriot-
ism in the hearts of all our coun-
trymen. 1t is a day that ought
ever to be remembered in our !,
annals, and when the birthday Of
Washington shall be forgotten.
