River passed to the Gulf by
way of the Mississippi River
channel. The other Is per cent
flowed down the Atchafalya
basin.
Today approximately 72 per
cent of the water originating
above Old River is flowing
down the Mississippi to the
Gulf. The remaining % per
cent takes the route down the
Atchafalaya.
Ratio May Change
If this ratio were constant,
the engineers would be uncon-
cerned. But it isn't. At some
future day, % per cent of the
flow will go down the Atcha-
falaya. Later, unless new con-
troll steps are taken, more water
will move down the Atchafalaya
than down the Mississippi.
There's no mystery about why
the water is flowing in increas-
ing volume down the Atcha-
falaya. The reason is simple:
From Old River to the Gulf via
the Mississippi is 322 miles;
from Old River to the Gulf via
the Atchafalaya is 159 miles.
Obviously. the route which is
1853 miles shorter is the one the
water seeks to follow.
United States engineers say
they can limit the Atchafa-
laya's carrying capacity by fol-
lowing plan which has been
approved by the chief of Army
engineers and which will be
considered by the present Con-
gress. Part of the plan is old,
part is new.
First, completion of the Nor
ganza foodway is expected to
slow the expansion of Old River.
This structure was started un-
der the Flood Control Act OF
1923, as amended, but construc-
ton was delayed by World War
II. On the basis of expendi-
lures, the foodway is about 33
per cent complete. Guide

Is tickle Father Mississippi
making ready to wander off
and leave New Orleans?
It's possible. for the big
stream has changed course and
left many another settlement
on the shore of a new lake-or
at the side of a new sandbar.
It's improbable, though, for
several reasons. Principal
among them is New Orleans
dependence on the river.
Countless other towns which
were built on the rivers banks
now overlook false" rivers or
horseshoe" lakes-still water
which covers the bed of what
once was the mighty Missis-
sippl.
Since 1888 United States en-
gineers have dredged or blasted
II new channels for the main
stream. These "cutoffs" have
shortened the river about ITO
miles.
Left to it's own devices, the
river probably would make a
natural short cut to the Gulf
of MeXico-doWn the Atcha-
falaya basin.
Rivers Will Grow
United States engineers see
no urgent need for drastic &C
ton, but hope to begin correc-
tive measures within three or
four years. They estimate that
the Atchafalaya River can con-
tinue to grow at its present rate
for 40 years before that stream
can capture so per cent of the
water flow which originates
above Old River.
Because the 1927 flood mag
nified the need for better, neW-
er flood control works, it was
followed by strong sentiment in
favor of new spillways to re-
lieve burdened levees. Conse-
quently. efforts to halt enlarge
ment of the Atchafalaya were
relaxed.
AS a result. the Old and
Atchafalaya Rivers have con-
tinued to enlarge during the
past two decades. In 1927 ap-
proximately rs per cent of the

It will do the trick. The VA can

MY son was in the Navy during
the past war" writes Mrs. B. s., of

beneficiary for his NSLI. After
the war he dropped his insurance
and never reinstated 1t before his
death a year later.
"As his beneficiary, 'am not en-
titled to his dividend? If so, where
do I apply?"
Just because you were listed as
beneficiary on your sons lapsed
NSLI policy does not automatically
net you the dividend. The dividend
will go to your sons heirs, and
they will be determined by the
laws of your State.
The VA will contact these heirs
and explain to them how they may

ceiving his NSLI. Will I also re-
ceive his dividend?"
Yes. The dividend will be sent

automatically. Here's why:
If the insurance is in force at the
death Of the insured (or veteran)
the beneficiary will get the divi-
dend, the dividend which the policy
accumulated before the insured's
death. But If the insurance lapsed
before the insured's death the divi-
dend goes to the legal heirs.

BOARD NARROWS
APPLICATION FOR
SCHOOL HEAD HERE
Half dozen Candidates for
Superintendency Survive
Screening Process
Board to Consider Filling Three
Teaching Vacancies at Later
Date

Striving to reach a decision in the
selection of a new school superin-
tendent before July 1, when Ralph
Lanham, present school head leaves
to assume new duties at Ashtabula
Harbor, Bluffton's board of education
this week faced new complications
in planning for the coming school
term, oecasioned by the resignation
of three instructors.
Two of the designations are from
members of the high school faculty,
Sidney c. Settler, mathematics in
structor for 25 years, and Miss
Elizabeth Mohr, instructor in home
economics.
The other teacher vacancy is at
the grade school and was brought
about by the resignation of Mrs.
Faye Herrick, third grade teacher.
Teacher Vacancies Secondary
School board members, however,
this week indicated that filing of
teacher vacancies will be secondary
to hiring of a superintendent, in
order that the new school head can
take up his duties here as soon as
possible after Supt. Lanham leaves.
Whether the new school super
tendent will be named before July
was something that board members
declined to predict the early part
of this week. However, every eff
fort is being made to fill the vacancy
before that time.
More than 25 applications for the
superintendency had been received by
the board at last Fridays deadline
for filing.
At last Fridays meeting, the board
used screening process to reduce
the number of applicants being con-
sidered to half-a-dozen. Another
meeting was held Monday night, and
others are scheduled for this We'd
nesday and Friday to mark progress
in the selection procedure.
The number of applicants for the
position, larger than had been anti
cipated in many quarters, is explain
ed by the fact that many school
administrators prefer the exempted
village setup, such as Bluffton has,
under which the system is indepen-
dent of the county school boards
jurisdiction.

UNSAFE CESSP0OL.
CISTERN COVERS
HIT BY COUNCIL
Protective Measure to Safeguard
Riddles Taken By Munich
pal Councilmen
New Ordinance Requires Sub
stantial Covers On Cesspools,
Cisterns, Wells

Acting on complaints of parents,
Bluffton municipal council Monday
night passed an ordinance requiring
that all cisterns, wells and cess
pools be equipped with substantial,
accident-proof covers, as a safe
guard for children or adults who
may step on them.
In taking the regulatory action,
the council joined a movement gen.
orally national in its scope which
was set off last spring by publicity
accorded to the tragic west coast
accident when little Kathy Dicus
fell in an uncovered well.
Reports of unsafe conditions, par
ticularly with respect to rotted COW
erings on cisterns and cesspools,
have been made to town authorities
during the last couple of weeks by
parents, concerned over the safety
of their children.
Passage of the ordinance gives
the village police power in checking
unsafe installations and compelling
adequate repairs to eliminate haz-
ards.
Cooperation of property owners
was requested in eliminating the
danger of fatalities to Button kid
dies now that the summer play sea-
son is at hand.

State Will Assist In CrackdoWn
On Bluffton Main Street Speeders

Speeding and reckless driving on
Bluffton Main street may prove
costly to unwary motorists, munich
pal authorities said this week in an
nouncing that arrangements have
been made for state highway patrol
cars to police unsafe operation of
motor vehicles on the Dixie highway,
which is routed over the street.
Highway patrol assistance in the
breakdown on violation of traffic
laws has been pledged in an effort
to remedy complaints resulting from
speeding cars and reckless operation
of motorcycles and motor scooters.
Buttons lack of patrol car re-
suited in the decision of the high
way patrol to assist in traffic con-
troll work here, the mayor said.
To eliminate charges that a speed
trap is in operation large signs have
been erected at each corporation line
reading "Speed Limit 35 M. P. H.
Traffic Laws Enforced"
