Water from ponds comes
from several sources. The "sky
pond" depends on rainfall for
its water. The water flows into
the ponds from fields located
above it.
Bypass" ponds are so con.
structed as to feed water divert
ed from streams that pass near
by. Some ponds are fed by
strong springs.
Too much fresh water flow
ing through ponds, however,
carries fertilizing agents, algae
and plant foodstuffs out of the
pond, starving fish and other
desirable wildlife.
Only enough water is needed
to replace that lost naturally to
evaporation or seepage. This cri-
terra does not apply to ponds
used primarily for irrigation,
however.
Where part of the water sup
ply runs off fields, the land
should be kept in some kind of
vegetation to prevent sitting the
pond. And if the fields are in
vegetation, they should be strip
cropped with a wide grass strip
between crops so the water will
be filtered before emptying into
the pond.
Excessively muddy water will
render a pond useless in few
years for fishing, recreation and
livestock-watering.
Many farm ponds fail because
of unsuitable soils that won't
hold water. A heavy, slowly per-
meable clay soil is best. Ponds
built near rock, shale, gravel
and sand deposits may be dis
appointing, because the water
will leak" away.
A nature swale or depression
in the land is the best for pond
location. In some of the best To-
cations, however, soil is such
that pond is not feasible. In

plans and specifications must
be attached. These forms can
be obtained from local Soil Con.
servation Service offices.
Water engineers will be sent
to the pond site to inspect it and
II approved, permission will be
granted for construction.
In the interest of public safe
ty, most of these ponds are linn
tied by law to Is feet deep and
maximum surface area of five
acres. The watershed that drains
into the ponds cannot exceed
700 acres in Coastal areas and
400 acres elsewhere. Prior con.
sent of residents within 1000
feet of the embanllment or dam
serving the pond must be OBJ
tanned in writing before the
pond may be built.
If the pond is less than nine
feet deep, drains less than 400
acres and Is smaller than Ia
acres, written consent is needed
from neighbors within only 500
feet from the dam or embank-
ment.

worn at semiformal Sunday
evening gatherings. This is
not frowned upon. White tie
and tails would be acceptable
for a very special occasion,
such as the dinner Of which

MODERN
MANNERS
It's Really Not So Smart
To Start Something New
By CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

According to the invita-
tons that I am receiving for
weddings that are to take
place during the coming
months, May. and June GER
tainly are no longer THE
special months of the year
when this great event is
plannedl Based on some of
the invitations received, it
would seem that there are
some new trends that should
be stopped.
The traditions that govern
the issuing of wedding invi-
tations and announcements
have come down to us
through the years. Defying
these old customs is bound
to bring condemnation upon
those guilty Of being diff
ferent" or careless. The
stories I am about to tell
unfortunately they are
both true) are cases in point.
A friend Of mine recently
received a wedding an
nouncement that frankly APP
palled me. 1t was worded as
follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Jones Doe
announce the morriose Of their
daughter
Miss Doris Mary Doe
to Mr.. Joseph Brown
on Monday. November twehty-thir
etc.
This announcement was
received last week, three
weeks before the ceremony
is to take place! Nothing
could be in worse taste. A
we d ding announcement
should never, under any
circumstances, be mailed I'M
til the day the nuptials take
place. Certainly never be-
fore and preferably not after.
Another glaring error is
the use of Miss" before,
and the last name after, the
given names of the bride-to-
be. The Miss" is never used

tant things. you will not be
the woman you could be.
Most folks now are aware
Of the effect OF food on
health and happiness. More
and more people now admit
the terrific effect of the emo
tons on health. BUT I do
not believe that most people
realize that these are not
questions to be considered
once a year or every five
years, but that it is the daily
way Of life which builds hap
piness, health and beauty.

you have to be careful. The

and the last name only If
1t differs from that Of those
issuing the invitation, or an
nouncement.
In the lower left hand cor
ner Of the above announce
ment appears an invitation
to a reception. It is to be
assumed that this is to take
place November % after the
ceremony itself takes place,
but one can't be sure!
To go from bad to worse.
If possible, is another star
ting new" departure from
tradition. This invitation by
some miracle. is worded cor
rectly. But (and what a
BIG butD it is engraved on
passionate pink paper. How
far can one go in displaying
execrable taste? In an effort
to be different" these peo-
pie have flouted the digni-
fed and appropriate form Of
always using white, or soft
ivory, colored paper when ex-
tending an invitation to the
most important event in a
woman's life, her wedding.
My only comment on these
f1aScos is that those who is
sued these bright inovations
just didn't care, or thought
it smart to start something
new" Let us hope that both
ideas die aborning. 1t is also
to be hoped that they will
realize that to employ such
tactics can only bring WE'LL
deserved criticism down upon
their heads.

Columbia River Yields
 Child's Body, A Member Of Missing Oregon Family

VANCOUVER, Wash, R - The body of little girl, found bob ibing in Columbia River slough, provided a probable solution to- day to the baffling mystery of the missing Ken Martin family of Portland.
 The body, found Sunday and identified as that of 11-year-old Susan Martin, had been in the water for a considerable time, said Coroner Paul Mylan. It may have been submerged since the December 7 disappearance of Ken Martin, 54, his wife, 48, and their three pretty young daughters III Barbara, IA, Virginia B and Susan.
 Police, who have run down scores of clues in the five-months- old case, believe the Martin car plunged off a highway into the Columbia River or one of its tri- butaries. The body of Susan ap- parently floated free of the wreck age in the spring current and was washed to a backwater slough near Camas, a few miles east of this lower Columbia River city.
 pr. E. A. Waterman, the Mar tins dentist, examined the body and said he was certain it was that of the missing girl.

LONDON, lR - A boy of lU can be an awful pest even if he happens to be the future King of England.
 His mother can also get annoyed at his behavior even if she hap pens to be the Queen of England
 This was demonstrated Sunday at a polo game between Ascot and Windsor Park, led by Prince Charles father, Prince Philip.
 Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a green raincoat, scarf and low heeled shoes, drove to the game from Windsor Castle. Accompan- jed by Charles and his 8-year-old sister, Anne, she went to a canvas roofed canopy because it was raining.
 The roof sagged from the weight of pools of water on either side of the center pole. Suddenly Charles punched the canvas, caus- ing water to splash on his mothers stockings. Moth drowned. Charles repeated the maneuver against the other bulge.
 As 4,000 spectators watched, the queens high girlish voice was heard saying:

COP. Offers Hot Issues

BOSTON, R - The Repub- licans' new national chairman said today the COP has the issues for the 1860 campaign but that it needs campaign funds to bring them home to the people.
 Sen Thurston Morton R-Ky) told a breakfast meeting of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee and finance chairmen of city and town committees that there are two big issues.
 ''The big one is the fact that Communism hasn't spread in the world in the last six and half years," he said.
 ''The other is we are out of the recession, we have more families with incomes of more than $6,000 a year and more with incomes of S10,0O0 than ever before in our history"
 Morton said comparatively small shift in voting patterns from 1858 to 1860 would bring a Republican victory in the next national election.
 Morton, on arriving here Sun day, said effective control of union racketeering will be top issue for Republicans next year.

 Egan called the bill ''wrong in principle, inconsistent with con- stitutional concepts and not in the public interest" He said it would be a distinct step backward from provisions of the state con- stitution which call for reduction in dedicated funds.
 The governor said the Univer- sity will be much better off fin ancially to rely on general appro- priations by the legislature and approved bonding programs.
 In other actions the governor signed the new state land act set ting regulations for leasing of gas and oil and other mineral land of the state.

Health Inspectors Can Enter Homes,

 Justice Frankfurter wrote the majority opinion which said, "In light of the long history of this kind of inspection and of mod ern needs, we cannot say that the carefully circumscribed demand which Maryland here makes on appellants (the Baltimore home owner) freedom has deprived him of due process of law"
 Justice Douglas said in his dis sent that 'the decision today great ly dilutes the right of privacy which every home owner had the right to believe was part of our American heritage"
