NEW SPRUCE PARK DAM

Now Spruce Park would be a 450
foot high earth and rockfill dam with
crest length of 1000 feet backing
up 2,750 acre reservoir (still the
approximate size of Wild Horse Island
in Flathead Lake,. Usable storage is
listed as 100000 acre feet at Spruce
| Park and 100000 added acre feet at
Hungry Horse Reservoir. A tunnel
would lead from Spruce Park, eleva-
tion APO feet above sea level, for
$4,000 feet to Hungry Horse Lake,
elevation 1850 feet above sea level.
Cost shows as $83,1OO,O0O including
dam, tunnel and powerhouse.
The proposed powerplant at the
end of the $1,000 foot long tunnel
would have two $4,000 kilowatt gen.
orators for a total of $4,000 kilo-
watts. This compares with the 1000
kilowatts originally indicated before
field studies were made.
Flathead thinking about the poten-
tial of Spruce Park should change.
Previously it was project that did
not seem of size to provide sufficient
power for industrial expansion in the
Flathead. It's own powerplant was to
develop 1000 kilowatts. Now these
figures have been revised to $4,000
kilowatts.
HUNGRY HORSE POWER
Hungry Horse Dam during 1856
developed total firm power output
of 100000 kilowatts (that is the pow
er produced averaged $4,000 kilo-
watts for every one of the years
$3.50 hours). However, Bonneville
Power Administration sold $4,000
kilowatts in Montana. The difference
between 100000 kilowatts and Hun
cry Horses $4,000 kilowatts was
imported into the state as result of
Hungry Horses benefits to down.
stream installations. This is provided
for in the congressional bill that au-
thorized the Montana dam.
POWER FOR AAC
The Anaconda Aluminium Co. con-
tract with Bonneville provides for
200 kilowatts of firm power, and
with interruptible power has reached
100000 kilowatts. Montana Power
Co. gets $4,000 kilowatts of Hungry
Horse-generated power; Victor Chem
ical Co. 35,100 kilowatts, and the
Pacific Power & Light Co. and Flat
head Electric Coop smaller amounts
as result of Hungry Horse Dam.

Are you looking for an easy
way to get better pictures of your
family and friends? Well, you'll
have a superior snapshot of a
person every time if you just try
catching him in the midst of some
activity he enjoys-or if you
give him something to do that's
natural and typical for him to be
doing.
In that way, you can be sure
even the most self-conscious or
reluctant subject will relax and
be himself. Although your cam
era's aimed right at him, his at
tention remains on the task he's
performing-and you'll be spared
a stiff-necked pose or CLASSY
eyed stare in your viewfinder.
BY letting activities keynote
your snapshots of people, your
reputation as picture-taker is
bound to grow. Your prints will
show more than just what your
subjects look like. Rather, they'll
reveal what each person is like
what he likes to do-what it's
like to be with him. The result
won't be simply a shot of some
one having his picture taken. Il
will be a picture of him doing
something that reveals a facet o.
his character and personality.
OF course, there are othel

Talk on
Nursing

Nursing" was the chief topic
of discussion at the Burton
Middtlefield Rotary Club held at
HoSmer'S Restaurant in Burton
on Wednesday evening, Feb
ruary 20th. Hilda Merkel, Dir
ector of Education, Huron Road
Hospital, was the principal
speaker.
Wives of the Rotarians were
invited to attend and the meet
ing was graced by the presence
of Mrs. Arthur Dade, Mrs.
Norman Moss and Mrs. Louise
Thomas, all former graduates
of Huron Road Hospital School
of Nursing. Mrs. Merkel deS-
cribed the critical shortage of
nurses and the many plans now
in effect to alleviate the short
age. Surprisingly enough, there
are more nurses engaged in
hospital work but the increase
in disqualification and population
has created the serious short
age. Mrs. Merkel described the
plan used by AShtabula General
Hospital for recruiting nurses
for their towns hospital.
On March the sixteenth, the
Rotarians will entertain rs for
eign exchange students on a
tour of Geauga County Maple
Sugar Bush and a maple syrup
and pancake supper at Claridon

Morrison Urges Amish to
Raise School Standards

In an open letter this week
John w. Morrison of Aurora,
member of the State Board of
Education urged the Amish in
Geauga county to consider rails
ing the standards of their schools
to that required by he new
board.
Mr.. Morrison's letter was ad-
dressed to Uria R. Byler of
Middlefield and said:
1.-The controversial Element
ary Standards passed at Mon
day nights session of the State
Board of Education. Mine was
the only dissenting vote. I have
done everything possible for
your folks.
Now l would ask you to re-
ciprocate and do a favor for
me. These Standards are min
imum and it is my opinion
that We can reach them.
"You have two real friends
in County School Superintend-
enss Frank Schofield, Geauga
County and Fred Louys, Trum-
bull County. 1t is my opinion
that you can work with them
as you have in the past and
with the fine cooperative efforts
of all, we will be able to con-
! tinue your own school with its
high conception of the need for
continuous religious teaching in
the mode which you believe.
Furthermore, if you and a
small committee will again
meet me in Columbus the after
noon of March 18th, we will go
to the Department of Education
and get you all the information
concerning what is ahead OF
us and I'm sure that you will
be surprised with the friendli-
ness and willingness Of the
state school people to help you
and us with the solving of your
problem. We will make freinds-
friends will have patience and
will help.
"It is my opinion that you
will not find it too difficult nor

Doing What Comes Naturally"

points to remember, too, when
you snap your friends and family.
Check the background carefully
before you shoot. Make sure it's
not so cluttered and confusing
that your subject will be lost in
a welter of detail. In some cases,
you may want to use a narrow
depth of field and no additional
light to give the effect of dark
backdrop rather than detailed
background for your subject.
Camera viewpoint can also
make a world of difference in
your pictures of people. In gen.
eral, you'll do well to snap your
subject on his own level or from
slightly below. Naturally, your
choice of camera angle will de-
pend on the particular elements
YOU want to emphasize in your
picture. If, for example, you were
shooting a person reading book,
a low angle would completely
bury the person behind the book,
while a high one would highlight
the book rather than the reader.
When you're picturing people,
study and select background,
viewpoint and lighting carefully
But most important of all, catch
YOUR subjects "in action"

The county agricultural agent
has suggested a hotbed or cold
frame to start home garden trans

George Vapaa said the bed or
frame could be built now and
used early next spring. Tomatoes,
lettuce and zinnias are a few eX-
amples of plants that can be
started early, bringing earlier har-
vest or bloom.

should be located facing south in
well-drained area. 1t should be
in full sunlight and sheltered
from wind
Heating can be done with an

Caring for
Your Christmas Tree

AS soon as you bring the tree
home, stand it in pail or tub
filled with water until you are
ready to set it up and trim it.
This will prolong the life and
appearance of the tree, keep the
needles from falling, and mini
mize the danger of fire.
