spected throughout the city

ported at the William A. Hun

ing and household articles will

]. G.. Davis QefO and A. L. Oleson,
SCS technician, inspect field of alfalfa
and smooth brOmegraSS on the Agrarian
Canal Irrigation Project.
the canal construction was completed
The first water was delivered in 1882
but because of drouth and continual
canal problems only enough water was
available for two farming units. During
this period many of the original ap-
plicants became discouraged. They
either sold their interest in the Carey
Act land or defaulted on their home
stead filings.
''ThingS were at a low ebb during
this period Davis recalls. Especially
in 1916 when Mrs. Wamhoff, one of the
settlers, was notified she had to prove
up on her homestead that year or it
would revert to the government.
In order to prove up on the home
steads the land had to be broken out
and farmed This required an ade-
quate source of water. ''Well," says.
Davis, 1--WE got all the interested people
together and held a council of war.
When we discovered that technical as
siStance was available from the Soil
Conservation Service through the Grey
bull Valley Soil Conservation District
which had just been organized-we
were elated. The Agrarian Canal Com
pany was reactivated. We decided to
complete and rehabilitate the entire
project"
In 1949, a contract was let for re-
construction of another three and one
half miles of canal, which completed
the project.
Today, the project includes LOLA ir-
rigible acres and plans have been made
to add an additional sos acres. These
lands are owned and operated by nine
families. The cost of developing the
project to date is approximately $50
an acre.

TODAY'S HOME
BY MARY L. VAUGHAN

A new break-resistant and
weighty dinnerware. so fragile
looking it appears to be por-
celain, has been perfected by
Raymond Loewy, leading in
dustrial designer.
Theorizing that nodded din
nerware has too long been
designed for strict utility use,
Mr.. Loewy created the new de-
signs as an answer to modern
woman's need for contempor-
airy dinnerware combining
daily beauty with maximum
usefulness.
Called Lucent" the ware
is made of break-resistant
Melamine that took more
than two years of study and
experimentation to perfect.
Its name is derived from the
delicate translucent quality
of its texture.
Graceful Lines
Sudden scoops and softly
curved shapes are eye-catch-
ing features Of the designs.
The graceful, slim cup han
dies, which alone took 10
months to develop. are per-
fectly rounded for easy ham
ding.
Designer Loewy observes
that break-resistant, mod
erately priced dinnerware fills
a need based on current habits
of living.
"Our primary concern as
designers" he adds, was the
appalling ugliness Of this
product"
Surveying the plastic din
nerware offerings, Mr.. Loewy
concluded they all showed a
prevailing bulkiness and squat
ness which is always ugly in
/ anything but a mushroom"

New Plastic DinnerWare
Has Porcelain Look y

Development of shapes for
the Lucent line began, he ex-
planned, with the ideals for
each piece and not, with the
very strict limitations of the
material and the methods Of
fabricating it.
Many tests were necessary
to achieve the tapering line
of the rims instead Of bump
ers, to develop a cup that
would be slim to the lips and
to form handles that would
feel finger size instead Of
fistfull.
Stands Firm
Emerging from the struc-
tural design, Mr.. Loewy as
serts. was a condition that
other manufacturers have
believed to be unattainable in
the tall, slim holloware. In
his design, he maintains, all
pieces stand firmly due to the
concentration in the base Of
necessary weight without a
bulky look.
The porcelain-like nodded
dinnerware is presented in four
original color choices: white,
pink, turquoise and yellow, all
correlated for mix-matching.
Raymond Loewy's designs are
four patterns in the Lucent"
line including Sun Petal" a
yellow on white; Evening
Song" white branches on tur-
quoise; Morning Song" white
branches on pink, and petite
Fleur," pink, yellow and tur-
quoise flowers on white.
The manufacturers offer a
one-year guarantee against
breakage or chipping and sub
NIT that their product will not
soften, bend or crack and may
be used safely in any dish
washer. The Color, they claim
