Legal Problems In
Crop Irrigation

Tough legal problems are involv-
ed in making more water available
to Ohio farmers for irrigation pur-
poses, according to Robert c.
Smith, assistant chief of the divis-
ion of water, state department of
natural resources.
Smith spoke to persons attending
a meeting of the Ohio Section of
the American Society of Agricul-
tural Engineers held October z and
8 on the Ohio State university
campus.
All water use law in Ohio is
judge-made, Smith said. There are
no statutory laws, and through the
years lawsuits have set certain pre-
cedentS which later lawsuits have
been obliged to follow. Here are
some of the precedents he listed:

or lake your property must abut
that stream or lake and you must
use it within that watershed. (2)

such stream or lake you are en-

UNICEF Girds
For Malaria Bout

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-New
plans to help protect nearly 33 mil
lion people against malaria in Lat
in America, Asia and Africa have
been launched by the United Ma
tions Children's Fund The agen-
cy's 26-nation Executive Board has
voted some S3,374,000 for this.
Mexico will get the largest single
share = $2,40S, ,000-the most ever
received by any country in one sum
from UNICEF.
AS noted by the Boards chair
man, DR.. Balachandra Rajan, of
India, the amount earmarked for
Mexico represents the first major
step in carrying out the Funds
new policy of supporting eradica-
ton campaigns in malaria-ridden
areas of the world
Mexico has the highest death
rate from malaria in all Latin
America. At present, this mass dis
ease threatens some 100000
Mexicans in unprotected areas, and
costs their country about $160,000,-
600 a year in economic losses, ac-
cording to figures cited by Robert
Davee, UNICEFs Regional Direc-
tor for the Americas.
The money set aside for Mexico
will be used to supply DOT, diel-
drin, sprayers, transport and mic
roscopes during the first 18 months
of the Mexican Government five
year anti-malaria campaign. The
Government is committed to spend
the equivalent of at least $12, 800
600.
At the peak of the house-Spray-
ing drive in this campaign, it is es-
timated, some 13,400,000 men,
women and children will get direct
protection against the disease
Those benefiting indirectly will
bring the total up to more than
16,500,000.
Some 1,280,000 people in El Sal
vador will also get protection a.
gainst malaria with the aid OF
S105,0 granted by UNICEF.

DIR. C. Kase Says Children's
Theatre Has Become
Big Business
IN MANY COMMUNITIES

Would you believe that theatre
performances of Little Red Rid
ing Hood" would do more busi-
ness at the box office than South
Pacific" draw more customers
than a pitching appearance by
Robin Roberts, or threaten the at
tendance mark established by two
undefeated football teams?
No? Well, it happened in Del
aware!
Latest statistics released by DR..
c. Robert Kase, chairman of the
Department of Dramatic Arts and
Speech at the University of Della
ware, reveal beyond any doubt
that children's theatre has become
a big business in the First State.
In the recently completed tour of
Little Red Riding Hood, which
embraced nineteen performances
in fourteen communities, the ESP
University Theatre Players were
seen by 10,406 enthusiastic GUS
toners, many of whom had never
before witnessed legitimate the
atre production.
The children's theatre tour had
its beginning in 1948 under the
guidance of DIR. Kase, who is a
well-known authority on this type
of theatre entertainment. In that
year, performances of Cinderella"
were given before audiences esti-
mated at 5000 to 1000. Each year
the shows have increased in popu-
1arity and the demand for per-
formances is now so great that
tours are completely booked for
the ensuing season before the play
selection is announced.
To test the success of the tour
one needs only to compare the
box Office figures with those OF
other top-drawer local attractions
Biggest draw at The Playhouse
home of legitimate theatre in Will
mington, was South Pacific
which played to capacity audi
ences for eight performances tot

Discover New Ski
Hill at Wuterton

WATERTON - Waterton Park
Ski Club officials have discovered
a slope in Waterton Lakes Nation
al Park which they hope may be
available for a major and per-
manent skiing development here.
Finding the new slope is neces-
STATED by the refusal of the de-
partment to grant permit to the
local ski club to operate ski tow
on the Waterton townsite run,
known as Suicide Ski rum" on
Bertha Mountain. This mountain is
considered an avalanche slope and
unsafe for skiers under certain
snow conditions.
There are two definite avalanche
trails on either side of the town
site run. Avalanches there in 1854
caused the partial destruction of
two summer cottages; these cot
tages have since been moved to
new lots.
The newly discovered ski slope
is located on Crandall mountain
straight west of the Prince of
Wales hotel junction sign. Ski club
and park officials will this week
look over the slope to decide if il
is suitable to be submitted to the
department for approval.
