Diminishing

Acting Mayor Homer Johnson
visited the Caldwell dam site
Tuesday afternoon and then
issued warning to all residents
of this community that they
should conserve the water as
much as possible.
Mayor Johnson said that the
water level was below the old
top of the original dam and it
was going down rapidly.
He pointed out that normal
consumption of water in Cald-

Excessive use of water for
sprinkling lawns, etc, should be
avoided in the future, Mayor
Johnson said and in all events,
water should be used moderately.

Belle Valley High
sponsored Project

John Wargo may not smoke
Viceroy cigarettes, but he GER
tainly is thinking man.. It
has paid off in all directions for
him, Belle Valley high school,
the town of Belle Valley, and
Noble Soil Conservationist.
He took seriously the words
of the late Julius Rosenwald,
when you have a lemon, make
a lemonade" and did exactly
that with the "a year water
seepage problem at the Belle
Valley high school
Not only did he solve the
schools problem but acquired a
bi-product from the project
which turned out to be an out
door aquarium-la laboratory COM
bination.
Due to his thinking ability"
he has won for himself national
recognition in the National AS
sociation of Biology Teachers
magazine, with a very nice
article on just how he, and the
Belle Valley students with the
help of the Noble Soil Conserva-
ton district workers went about
repairing the land and water
problem.
Harry E. Fast was superinten-
dent of the school at that time
and gave Wargo the necessary
support and encouragement in
this project.
