Clapp, chairman of the board of the Tennessee Val ley authority, spoke Thursday) night in Alumni building on the record of TV A in harnessing the resources of the valley, making possible their more effective use. "The Tennessee valley," he said, "demonstrated that a bet ter standard of living can be reached at less expense to its ex haustible resources because the people are learning to build their income on assets that are re newable by developing a new I approach to the use of their re sources. "The Tennessee valley's econ omy has been stabilized; the people have developed farming systems which capitalize on that region's two foremost assets, the partnership of the sun and soil through most of the days of the year and through rainfall," Clapp stated. "The tremendous power pro duction by the TVA is one of its best known functions. However, new types of water-borne com merce on the river is developing a new affinity between the Southeast and the Middle West," Clapp said. In mentioning other phases of TVA's program including soil conservation and the processing of phosphate fertilizer, Clapp stressed the fact that this devel opment and expansion had not been a drain on the taxpayers' pocketbooks, "for the power pro duction alone is gradually repay ing all that has been spent on the entire program."
