Grand total states $967,712, coun-

remarks, "The President has asked
the congress for the right to take
steps that would lead to the nation
alization of various industries, but
America must not follow IN the 1oot
steps OF England" "The Presi--

statement by Assistant Secretary
of Commerce Girard Davidson re-
garding the Columbia Valley Admin
istration:
The entire country needs a Column
bia Valley Administration = not
merely the states of the Pacific
Northwest. And the decision to
establish this Administration should
be made on the grounds of national
interest-not on grounds of local or
regional interest.
When the IVA was established, it
met the needs of the entire country
The whole Nation had paid for years
for the cost of floods on the Ten
nessee; had paid the consequences
of the lower incomes of people of the
valley; had felt the impact of smaller
crop output because of depleted soils
in the valley. The lower incomes
of the valley meant less business for
the rest of the country in selling to
the people of the valley electric ap-
pliances, housing, food, clothing, and
other products. The lower incomes
meant more malnutrition and dis
ease, and a smaller number of men
able to pass the Army and Navy
physical tests.

been made on better-to-do farms.
While many bankers argue that
such "selective lending" is necessary
to prevent another wave of fore
closures, the effect of such a policy
is to encourage the expansion of
large scale farms and thereby in
crease the disparity between the
large and small farms.
NO CURE FOR DEPRESSION
Though the claim that Marshall
Plan spending would hold up farm
prices has proven false, the fiction
is still being circulated that heavy
military expenditures will ward off
a depression. The Department of
Agriculture stated, for example, in
its National Food Situation:
''The increase in government
OUTLAWS projected in the Presi-
dents budget message, if approp-
rated by congress, will be large
enough to offset a moderate de-
cline in private spending and still
maintain overall economic activ-
lty
Instead of maintaining prosperity,
the effect of this huge military
spending has been to increase the
debt debt load on the farmers and
workers, who are being forced to low
er their living standards in order to
foot the bill. In the course of a re-
cent speech for world peace, Henry
A. Wallace asserted, eve cannot
have the Atlantic Pact and also have
effective price supports for the
farmers"
EAT LESS
The farmers have been feeling the
effects of shrinkage not only in the
foreign markets but also in the do
nestle market. Initiation carried
prices beyond the reach of most fam
lies and in the effort to make both
ends meet, they were forced to cut
down on food purchases.
The civilian per capita consump-
ton of food in the US was $50 lower
n 1913 than in 1916. AS compared
With the 155 pounds of meat consum-
I'd per person in 1916, the national
average was down to 146 pounds in
1913; dairy products dropped from
800 pounds to 755 pounds in this
same period; fresh fruits from lao
pounds to 1874; and fresh vegetables
rom 270 to 256. These figures are
rom The National Food Situation,
published by the Department of Agri-
culture, January March 1949.
In the first half of 40, industrial

glass and began waving his fins, flexing his
muscles, as it were. He was like the small
boy who finds courage to taunt the bully
from behind the safety of his own fence.
The ruby jewel fish is ordinarily well be-
haved, but there was one who suffered
split personality. As long as he was in the
laboratory, he lived peacefully in tank
with his neighbors. But as soon as he was
placed in tank on public view he went
berserk and killed all the other fish.
The Bashful Octopus
l HE mormyid. on the other hand, is so
painfully shy that he dives into the plants
to hide as soon as anyone approaches his
tank. If you remove his hiding place. he'll
die in a few days.
The octopus is both shy and anti
social. He won't allow anyone, includ-
ing his own mate, to live near him.
If he doesn't have place to hide he'll die
in short time. In one aquarium this prob
lem was solved by giving the octopus shell
just big enough for him to 60 halfway into.
He felt he was hiding, and at the same time
visitors could see him.
The cichlid is sometimes referred to as the
embarrassed fish, because he bushes when
disturbed. His>light color darkens to pink,
purple and then black. He appears petri-
fed and tries to sink into hiding place.
The goldfish is at his nippiest when he has
company and an audience. Left alone in
his tank. he becomes morose, swims furi-
ously in circles, and wears himself out.
One of the rarest aquarium experiences
was with barracuda. normally vicious
fish that would just as soon bite off mans
finger. This particular barracuda, however.
took to captivity so happily that after
while he wouldn't eat unless he was fed by
hand. The men who fed him never enjoyed
the job. -WlFRED WEISS

They have as many troubles as
you. They're shy, embarrassed,
may even have split personalities
VoU'RE wasting time if you envy fish
l. for their placid. untroubled existence.
Aquariists will tell you that life behind the
glass is full of problems. Some fish are
deathly shy and some overbold; some fish
suffer from split personalities and some get
melancholy.
There was, for example, the weakfish who
got bored and ran away" This fish would
jump into the next tank, then the next and
the next on down the line. until they caught
him and returned him to his home tank.
Then he'd start out all over again.
Back in the days when aquariums were
lighted by gas jets, cowfish and puffers would
rise to the surface and spit at the flames
until they were extinguished. Then gas jets
were replaced with electricity. But the fish
spit just as happily at the electric lights -
and the hot bulbs began to crack.
A Nervous Baby
Fish of some species have strong paren-
tai instinct, but the jackfish apparently
have none whatever As result their young
attach themselves to the first larger fish they
meet. If young jack can't attach himself
to larger fish. he gets very nervous"
He quivers, his colors fade, and he
swims blindly into the walls. Finally
he collapses, sinks to the bottom.
There is often more antagonism. even
among fish of the same species. than is
