OAR Observes
Ohio's Birthday
At March Meeting

American Revolution Wednesday
in Coover Memorial Club House
members and their guests observ-
end Ohio's birthday.
The guest speaker, Floyd Will
liams, Madison County Chairman
of the Ohio Sesqui-Centennial
Commission, focused his story OF
Ohio on our American heritage
of Freedom, outstanding being the
pursuit of happiness"-which is
Ohio's heritage too. He graphical
ly reviewed how at each crisis in
the nations history, Freedom has
been tested and has prevailed. But
the "Now" is the crossroads, he
warned, inquiring, Where are we
going?"
According to Mr.. Williams, to
be centennial conscious is to be
not only mindful of the great
past but, too ever alert to our
responsibility for a create
future. In this challenge, patriotic
groups should blaze the trail, he
added. Concluding, Mr.. Williams
suggested a possible Memorial
program for the Sesqui-Centennial
year-the appropriate marking
and dedication of the new high
school auditorium, along with a
permanent plaque of the names
as humble tribute for the sac
rifices of our boys to keep intact
our heritage.

on the artistic culture of China.
He pointed out that the every
day life of any village has back

joy of weddings, the dirge of
funerals, even to the whistling
pigeons overhead.
For thousands of years the
Chinese have used their hands to
transform whatever materials
they had into receptacles of use-
fulness and beauty.
The front of the club room be-
came a museum where DR.. Want
displayed all sorts of musical
instruments, elaborate embroid-

Open Gate Gardeners
Set Practical Hints

The Open Gate Garden Clubs
program for the meeting Wednes-
day at the home of Mrs. o. E.
Liller, Sedalia Pike, included two
, talks of practical use for garden
ers, particularly those who are in
terested in the growing of lilies
and also those who like to start
their plants early in a cold frame.
Mrs. John Geesling's duty was
on 'The Growth and Cultivation
of Different Varieties of Lilies"
Her detailed and interesting re-
port on cultivation and conditions
under.which various types are best
grown, left the members who have
not previously been lily fanciers,
with a desire to include them in
their 1853 garden.
Mrs. Raymond Lanigan had an

Recommendation ON State
And Local Participation

%. Vital portions of such recon-
mendations are as follows:
Local contributions to resource de-
veIOpment.-State and local interests
could bear a greater share of the costs
of projects from which benefits ac-
crue to them. This@is particularly true
for flood control and navigation prof.
ects which for the most part are charg-
ed off as nonreimbursable, with the re-
suit that the Federal Government is
bearing almost the entire cost.
The Commission believes that the
States might find it valuable to eStab-
lish resources advisory commissions
composed of interested citizens which
are separate from official State plan
ming commissions. An executive re-
source program, combined with a per-
Torrance budget would be a very help
full device in conjunction with compre-
hensive annual or biennial reporting by
resource agencies.
Establishment of State planning agen-
cies.-In the absence of overall State
planning agencies, the Commission feels
that State interagency or co-ordinat-
ing committees represent the least that
will be needed to obtain a minimum of
CO. ordination in State planning and to
effect mutual exchange of informa-
ton between the State resource agen-
cies. State planning has Jagged behind
Federal planning.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1953-05-22

1t is now imperative that the states
exert a conscious effort to coordinate
and integrate their planning activities
in order to give direction and conference
to their resource programs. The task
Of the Basin organization recommended
in this report would be eased consla-
erablv bv the existence of unified State
planning agencies.
state projects.-In between the large
scale projects of the Federal Govern
ment and the small ones OF local
groups, there is an area in which the
possibilities for resource development
have not as yet been fully explored.
With respect to this area, the Commits
sion recommends that the State ex-
anime carefully the need for and the
possibility of wider State sponsorship
of water and land development pro-
grams which are not presently con-
by the Federal Government.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1953-05-22

effect of Federal ownership on the
services of state and local govern
ments, and the local benefits from Fed
eral ownership. Payments should be
based upon these considerations and
not governed solely by income from
rentals or revenues from Federally ac-
quired property.
Payments in lieu of taxes might be
provided in the Missouri Basin from
a fund made up of percentage of the
gross proceeds from the sale of power,
irrigation, and municipal water and a
proportion of land rentals. The details
of revenues to be paid in lieu of taxes
and the formula for allocating such
payments should be worked out in con-
sultation with the States.

Recommendation on National
Policy
INSTALLMENT III

%. The Commission recommends
that Congress change national policy
to "obtain higher contributions to-
ward costs from beneficiaries, more
systematic cost-sharing requirements
for various purposes, and greater in
terest and willingness to assume re-
sponsibility by groups Immediately
affected" as regards the following
items:
Land reclamation, including irriga-
tiOn and drainage-Primary benefici
aries should be assigned charges and
assessments to the extent of their bene-
fits for specified period not to exceed
the life of the project after adjustments
for incentive allowances and considera-
tion of ability to pay. To the extent
feasible, secondary beneficiaries should
be assessed in accordance with their
benefits
POwer.-The assignment of charges
to power users should be sufficient to
cover all costs and amortize, with in
terest, construction costs and assigned
joint costs over the economic life of
the project

Recommendations on
Resource Problems

"a. The Commission recommends
tions appear in brief, as follows:
Lowest priority for navigation
Navigation benefits are problemati-
cal, and navigation should have the
lowest priority in use of water. If, in
the future, navigation does show
favorable benefit-cost ratio, there is
available alternative transportation.
1t is therefore questionable whether
navigation should be continued.
Futher study of channel stabiiiza-
tion.-With navigation eliminated,
maintenance of a 9-foOt channel
would not be necessary, and the chan
mel sterilization work would have
chiefly bank-protection value. This
is closely related to the larger prob
lem of flood-protection. Bank stabili-
cation is not justifiable itself. Be
cause of these findings the Commits
sion recommends an intensive study,
to discover if there are feasible
methods of stabilizing the river, and,
if it is to be stabilized, at what width
and relation to levees.
Flood Control: Protection for the
Kansas Citys.-With the ceiling on
possible reservoir sites being ap-
preached, the Kansas City problem
cannot be solved by pro-
viding more and bigger reservoirs.
Extensive increases in levee protec-
ton will probably be needed also.
In face of the slim justification orig
nally found, rising construction costs,
and indications that claimed benefits
may have declined, the present justi-
ficatiOn of futile Greek and similar
y situated reservoirs must be serious
y questioned. New general plans for
flood protection for the Kansas Citys
need to be worked out.
Flood control in the Salt-Wahoo
3asin.-The Corps of Engineers plan
5 focused on the flood problems in
he lower Salt-Wahoo Basin in Ne
,raska, and would sharply reduce the
frequency and severity of flooding in
hat area. The Soil Conservation Ser
ice plan is deployed over the upper
portions of watershed, where its flood !
ontrol features would be most eff
ective. Along the tributaries and the +
main creeks, however, overflows
would continue to occur, with only |
'artial reduction in severity. This
would be very inadequate solution
or the flood problems of the lower
caches of the streams. If no economi-
ally justified plan can be found that
ives more protection than any thus
ar proposed the public should be full
Y apprised of the limited protection
eing provided.
Flood plain zoning.-The Commits
ion believes that flood plain coming
an be a useful device in the reduc-
ion of flood damages, and recon-
1ends that the States enact necessary
legislation. Also that Con-
ress give consideration to amending
lood control legislation so as to re-
uire the enactment of State zoning
sgislation. The proposed basin organ
,ation should also explore the pos
Utilities of migrating flood plain
