Government To
Bear Expense Of
Flood Control
Supplemental Plan For Little
Youghiogheny Watershed
Signed By Officials

A supplemental watershed work
plan for the Little Youghiogheny
river flood control project, where
in the federal government agrees
to bear the entire cost of construc-
ton of six proposed dams, was
signed last Friday at special meet
ings of the Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil of Oakland and the County
Commissioners.
The two sponsoring agencies must
bear the expense of acquiring with
out cost to the Federal government
any land or easements or rights of
way necessary in connection with
the works of improvement. An esti-
mated figure not to exceed S16,40O
was agreed upon for expenses incl
dent to the acquiring of the needed
easements.
The Mayor and Council and the
County Commissioners previously
had agreed to provide $4,000 for
the project, each agency pledging
half of that amount.
The original work plan, worked
out last fall by special committees
appointed by the Mayor and Town
Council, called for the construction
of six small flood control dams in
the area. A survey of the Little
Youghiogheny river watershed was
conducted during the summer of
1855. and it was first suggested by
the Soil Conservation service that
eight dams on Wilson Run and the
Little EOughiogheny river be con-
structed at an estimated cost of
1894 900, plus an outlay of an adj
ditional $4,000 for channel inn
provement of the Little Youghio-
gheny
In the final analysis the group
eliminated two of the eight dams
: and decided to ask for a work plan
which would include these dams
at an estimated cost of S187,00O
with the two sponsoring institu-
tons agreeing to commit them
selves for $4,000 over a five year
period or longer.
The proposed sites included
| three dams on Wilson Run in the
general vicinity of the Loomis
property, the Cherry Glade run

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

FAREWELL: To humorist
Ring Lardner, who loved base
ball, there was no pitcher who
could compare with Walter
johnson. the fireball ace of the
Washington Senators.
Shortly before his death, Lard
ner was visited by a friend in
the hospital. The two remained
in silence for a half hour, then
Lardner. asked:
"Who do you think was the
greatest pitcher of them alp"
"Christy Mathewson," said the
other. without hesitation.
Disappointment was etched on
Lardner's face. Finally, after
another long silence, he said:
"Good-by."
"Good-by." said the friend,
taking his leave.
Shortly after Lardner breathed
his last.
SERVICE: Playwright George
s. Kaufman likes to keep regular
hours, unlike many of his the
atrical associates. One night.

People have to KNOW. A
little knowledge is NOT danger
Gus. We doctors need to cast on
our role as the wise sphinx and
get down to earth with our pa

see to the problem was lay edu-
cation of the fundamentals of
health. Not hoping to make
doctors of all of you, under
stand; just making you partners
in the health team.
For these basic reasons I wrote
my first book Is years ago on
preventive medicine. But I soon
found that one book was not
sufficient to rid me of the COM
Ipulsion to spread medical in
formation to the people. The
needed lay-education that had
been lacking for centuries could
mot be made up by one book.
So / wrote eleven of them. And
II wrote for the national maya
zines because I wanted to reach
more people.
But at last I've found what I
consider to be the ideal medium

the daily newspaper column.

tell me they have found assur-
Iance and comfort in the columns.

My friend had practically
answered his own question
Nevertheless he deserved an
answer. Perhaps you would like
to hear it.
In effect, here is what I told
him: Every kind of work in the
world has a Goodness in it. The
man who shoes the horse is as
noble as the king who rides it.
Whatever you do, there's a dig

first week of practice. I was

with this opportunity for help

earning my bread. You may
believe it or not, but doctors
worthy of the name. find their
true satisfaction in their work;
not in their bank balance.
But as the months and years
passed I began to feel frustrated.
II realized that I could see and
advise only a limited number of
patients day. And I thought
of the hundreds of thousands
of people who were being un-
necessarily shuffled of this earth
for only one reason: ignorance,
realized that all of our most
amazing m dical discoveries
would be of no avail to the
patient who came for treatment

can think about and stew over
is the fact that it might bring
you more patients. The only
time one doctor forgives the
other for having his name and
picture in the paper, it is too
late: it is an obituary notice.
Well, all that's beside the
point. but I thought you would
like to know about it. Coming
back to my friend the doctor,

the privilege I've had in such
work all these years. There's
nothing in this world like send

was a light of recognition in his
eyes: Come to think of 1t,
