London Falls Victim To
Strong Washington; First
Loss OF Year Is $3.50

London High Schools Red Raid
ers dropped their first game of the
season Tuesday night in a tough
game with Washington Courthouse
High Schools victory starved net
ters. And Washington c. H. took
their victory in the final three
minutes of the game by a margin
of nine points.
Coach Ray ChadwelIS quintet
had previously handed defeats 20
Urbana, Northeastern and Green
field. Washington had won only a
single game in four previous starts.
Byerly, London's stop scorer in
all previous games was held to five
points in the Tuesday night
game. And Washington was not to
be credited with all of Byerly's S
shortage. He reported after the
game that he was i'll, and that he
had been i'll during the game but
refused to drop out of the game.
Washington took advantage of a
fast scoring break in the final
minutes and demoraliZed London
while running up the score. Every
thing seemed to go against the
Red Raiders.
Coach Chadwell expects the
team to be out to avenge the loss
when they meet their first confer
ence foe Friday night on the local

Fairfield Drops
ATS Game; Hopes
For Madison Win

Fairfield High School dropped
their game Tuesday evening to
strong Scioto Valley quint in a
game which could have gone any
way in the first two periods. The
score was nip-and-tuck until the
third quarter when Scioto started
their fast break, and Fairfield
dropped about so per cent of their
tries at field goals. They did con-
meet for slightly more than so per
cent of the free shots.
They are hoping for better than
the ATS loss when they meet
Madison South in the new M S

We women can point with pride
to the fact that Ohio women work
more safely than Ohio men. Injury
claims filed with the Industrial
Commission of Ohio show that
women workers suffer a lower
percentage of injuries than men.
While this is due in part to the
fact that in some cases our jobs
are not as risky as those of the
men, we can also conclude that
women are more safety-conscious,

Takes First Win
Over Monroe High

Coach Even Bryden's West JEFF
ferSon Roughriders handed a heal
thy 61-40 defeat to Monroe town
ship in their hardwood clash Tues
day night, and it was the first vic
tory for the lanky West Jefferson
team.
Both teams played a bad first
half but after that the Roughrid-
ers recovered their stability and
went into action. Hay came
through with 16 points to lead the
West jefferson and game scoring.
Close on his heels were Ed Hook
enberry with II points and Miller
with 10.
Most of West JefferSon'S Scor-
ing was from the floor where they
nit 28 baskets in 80 attempts, for
an average of 50 per cent. They
racked up five of 16 attempts at
the free throw line for about the
same percentage.
The West Jefferson team, with
little experience, hopes to keep
winning when they meet Mt. Sterl-
ing at West jefferson Friday night.
Their height, and the improvement
which they are showing, indicates
that they may be going out Of the

() These sfum and blight conditions, and the continu-

sent problems of immediate and long-range governmental
concern: % Sums and blighted areas mean low and falling
property values, constant threat of growth, choking off the

problem. This shortage means that loW-income families con-

There, delegates attacked the

Jerry Voorhis of the Cooperative

on ways to make their co-ops work
better as co-ops.
But the fires of indignation and

tide turned. The difference in water
level between the two basins would
average 10 feet, and power would
be generated by turbines in another
dam between these two basins. The
enormous flow of water would be
constant and inexhaustible so long
as the moon remained in it's orbit.
Passamaquoddy Bay, the storage
basin, is about rs per cent on the
Canadian side of the border. Cobscook
Bay, the receiving basin, is wholly
on the American side.
The project, its supporters say, will
not interfere with or destroy the
economic Importance of other capital
assets in the area such as land, in
dustry and homes.
It would develop hydroelectric
power at the shoreline of an ocean
port which, being free of ice, is open
the year round. It is estimated that
the theoretical generating capacity
Of the international project would be
approximately O0,000-kilowatt-per-
hour minimum. To clear one him
drance to the project, the Maine legis-
lature has repealed state law which
prohibits the transmission beyond
state lines of hydroelectric power gen
Grated in Maine.
One fact should be made clear
Some people believe the 'Quoddy
project would use the rise and fail
of the tides to generate electrical
power. Actually the principle here
is one where incoming tide
waters are captured in a reservoir
which feeds the generators of the /
power plant. 1t is matter of putting
captive waters to work, rather than
permitting them to return, unused, /
to the sea.
At the present time no determina-
ton has been made as to whether
The power development would be in
public or private hands. This is a
question for future decision.
The project differs from the pro-
oosal which gained prominence in
he early days of President Franklin
,. Roosevelt's Administration. That
project, on smaller scale, was

Congress has taken action, after
many years of talk, to authorize a
full study of the long-proposed Inter
national Passamaquoddy Tidal Power
Project on the border between Maine
and New Brunswick, Canada. Both
the Senate and the House have passed
joint resolution authorizing up to
So million for the study Passama-
quoddy already is declared fully feas-
ible from an engineering standpoint.
If the study shows 'Quoddy to be
economically feasible, the declining
New England industrial area may be
revived with cheap electric power
a move we in the public power con-
scious Northwest can applaud as
worthy step forward.
In its scope of planning, in its
vision Of the Harvesting Of the power
Of the moon-directed tides, 'Quoddy
is an exciting proposal. Yet it is not
visionary impractical scheme. Tidal
mills were in use as early as the 10th
century, historians tell US, being
unique only in that their water reser-
voir was filled by the rising tide.
Tidal power also was used in early
colonial days on the Maine coast
to operate grist mills, saw mills and
carding mills. Some 80 years ago the
present plan for power development
at Passamaquoddy Bay became pub
licized.
Two natural features give 'Quoddy
its vast potentials for tidal power de-
velopnent that do not exist else
where. The range of tides is far
greater than average-from 10 to
% feet. And the area boasts two large |
basins, almost entirely landlocked,
and adjacent to each other.
The project is basically simple. It
calls for a series of dams and locks
to keep one Of these basins, Passama-
quoddy Bay, at or near high-tide
level by means of sea gates opening
inward as the tide nears full height,
and closing when it starts to recede.
The other basin, Cobscook Bay,
would be kept at or near the low-tide
mark by sea gates opening outward

in which lying, cheating, misleading

tactics become the order
Can't the real political issues be
fought out and debated on higher
level? After all the issues are usually
moral and ethical ones, questions
which are finally settled, not only
on the field of political battle but in
homes, schools, and churches, the
really important issues of today re-
volve around the efforts to harmonic

people have all become interdepend-
emit, they have all come under one
roof and unless they learn to live
together the dangers of bloodshed
will be greater, not less.
On the domestic front, the real
issue is that of determining whether
or not ours shall be a government of
the people, by the people and for
the people. That has been a tendency
for almost sixty-five years now, that
is up to 1854. When about 1890 the
people of America were severely
jolted by the realization that I'M
restricted and uncurbed monopoly
could and did bring about poverty,
and abuse, there was
a strong tendency by both parties
to improve the lot of the little fell
ow.
Laws were passed to curb monop-
oly and to protect the helpless. Later
IN even tax laws were passed directly
aimed at protecting and aiding the
poorer class. In 1854, new federal I
ak law was passed, law admittedly |
timed at easing restrictions on the

less and also admittedly of little
irect benefits to the little man. This
aw, in substance, says that from now
n the governmental benefits that
ccrue to the little fellow are to be

ion to the success of business, in
ustry and finance. So this law re-

FIathead LSW Raises S200
TO Fight Polio

The Flathead Valley Lumber &
Sawmill Workers local unions have
turned over to the March of Dimes
5000 from contributions and admis-
sions sold to the Franklin D. Roosevelt
Polio dance held at the Blue Moon
Hall near Columbia Falls, February
8. 1t is expected that there will be a
further donation to the March of
Dimes when all contributions are in
and federal tax has been paid on the
dance tickets sold. All proceeds of
the dance except federal tax will go
to the March of Dimes, with other
expenses of the dance being paid
direct by the sponsoring local unions
and the management of the Blue
Moon.
Bad weather had an adverse effect
on dance receipts and the major por-
ton of the 5000 collected came from
contributions by LSW members and
friends.

welt dance were sponsored by local
unions 1865, Somers; 2405 and 2446,
