Even the dangers that so long lurk-'

Time To Do Something With Muscle Shoals

THE ENTERPRISE
beyond the railroad bridge, because
with hundreds of children and thou
sands of cars choked into the mouth
of such a funnel, it would be little
i less than a death trap.
Regardless 4 of the effect the loca
tion chosen may have on the future
prices of adjoining land, the thing to
do is to put the building where it can
be used to the best service of the
people. '
Guardsmen are on the job. ready to
i serve and to save". Sueh was the
i case in' the recent storm, when tin
crews of two ships were saved, one
j near Oregon Inlet, and the other
near Htatterasj . •

- It is a shame to see all the water
pouring over the Muscle ShoJls dams
and going to waste when it might be

farming industry of America.
Somebody has hung the matter up
for a long time, too long. It should
