.AGE SIX ' ' THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY HERTFORD. N. a. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1937 HOOVER DAM POWER i GREATLY INCREASED Scouring of River Bed Add to Earning Capacity. ' Washington, D. C Hoover dam's great power plant has been in creased in value by. $1,500,000 be cause waters from the dam are carrying away from the stream bed tolow it each day enough silt to fill three freight trains of eighty cars ach. The scouring of the bed was cited toy John C. Page, reclamation com missioner, as an interesting illustra ft tlon of the changes wrought in the character of the Colorado river by construction of Hoover dam on the Nevada-Arizona line. The regulated flow has carried away in the last two years 9,100,000 tons of silt deposited in past ages toy the overburdened stream, with the result that the stream is clear to a point forty-three miles below the dam. It no longer looks like the 'Colorado river. New rapids have been formed where the removal of TStilt has exposed ancient and long buried boulders. The scouring, Page reported to Secretary of Interior Harold L. tckes, has added about four feet to the effective head of the turbines in the dam. Each foot thus added in creases the annual earning power ttrom current, when the power plant is fully equipped, approximately $50,000. i When the turbines were installed allowance was made for use of an additional twenty feet of head from .jMjpuring In the river bed. rHnddy water still pours from the Grand canyon into Lake Mead above i the dam, but the silt settles in the )i bottom of the lake for 115 miles. Clear water thus rushes through x. ttpt dam's outlets and, because of ""its regular flow, scours the stream bed below. ... The flow is now regular the year around, whereas before construe-' tion of the dam the Colorado river fluctuated between floods as great as 300,000 cubic feet per second to 300 feet in the dry season. Flood and drought thus have been eliminated as threats to farmers in the lower valley of the Colorado. U. S. Nary Planning to Retire 66 Ships by 1938 San Diego, Calif .During the next 20 months the United States navy will place at least 66 ships on the "retired list," it was learned in naval circles here. The majority of these vessels will be destroyers and submarines which now are based at San Diego and which will be replaced by newer fighting craft. By the end of the 1938 fiscal year 32 San Diego destroyers will have been decommissioned, along with three submarines. Thirteen other destroyers will lose their places on navy lists before July, 1938. Before July 1 of this year the San Diego destroyers Buchanan, Crown inshield, Evans, Hale, Lea, Philip, Roper, Twiggs, Aaron Ward, Wickes, Chandler, Dahlgren, Litch field, Overton, Preble, Tracy, Hov y, Long, and Southard will be gone. Others listed for early decommis sioning include the Borie, Brooms, Dallas, MacLeish, McCormick, Per ry, Pruitt, Sicard, Simpson, Trever, Truxton, Wasmuth, and Zane. Ten submarines are listed for the naval junk heap. They are the Bo nita, Bass, Barracuda, based in San Diego, and the S-18, E-21, S-22, S-23, S-30, S-31, S-32, S-33 S-34 and S-35. Four minelayers also are to go along with the destroyers Blakeley, Bernadou, Breckenridge, Cole, Du Pont, Ellis, Greer, Tarbell, Upshur and Yarnall, which are based outside of San Diego. Newer, speedier and more mod ern fighting craft, already built or under construction, are scheduled to take the places of the over-age ves sels in fleet anchorages on the Paci fic and Atlantic coasts, it was said, bringing the navy up to near full strength. Cripple for 27 Years Is Master Wood Worker Lower Waterford, Vt. William J. Morrison, sixty-eight, a cripple con fined to a wheel chair for the last twenty-seven years, is a master wood craftsman. Morrison, who was a blacksmith until he was stricken with infantile paralysis, has produced fine pieces of furniture with only a few-simple tools and a vise. He has no power tools. He built a model house, complete in every detail. The interior is fur nished with electric lights, beds, sewing machine, kitchen sink, dishes and bathroom fixtures, in cluding a bath mat and soap. A miniature man and woman sit be- fore a fireplace., Morrison used pine for the house, which he values at $300, and black cherry and oak for the furniture. Man Hat All Penny Minting but Three Kirksville, ' Mo. Fifteen years ago Ralph Link' of Kirksvills started to collect a penny of each year's output of the United States mint since 1793, the first to t coined. He has obtained all but for three years 1793, 1799- and 1894, None were minted in 1815. Plan School Lunches Carefully I J I w J t.-...;.v-'i iteKfeS, Children'! Appetites Will Lag If Permitted to Become THE packing of school lunches may become a routine task because of its frequency. If the packing of the lunch is allowed to slip into a rut, the a;a . . l ii . appeuHs at me consuming ena are very apt to do the same, with the result utat soon the growing children are going without many essential foods they need to carry on their school work and build strong healthy bodies.. . There will always be favorites in sandwiches that seem lo be th hncV- ' bone of the lunch box, but faithful as , tuey are, there is also need for variety ' and newness to keep the appetites from lagging. This ever present need for change may be accomplished in .many different ways. Besides many !, tasty sandwich fillings, there are several I different types of bread that lend themselves well to sandwiches. ', Milk is such an important item in the daily diet it must not be overlooked in the school lunch. If not supplied at the school, it may be carried in .vacuum bottles and can take several , different forms for the sake of variety. , Cream soups of all kinds incorporate tailk to an advantage and may be Carried 'well in a vacuum bottle. Chocolate milk and cocoa both make Meal milk beverages for a lunch box. Chewing The Rag With Lucius Blanchard, Jr. It appears that contrary to ell the advance indications and printed matter the State Publicity Tour will etop, if only for a few minutes, in Hertford on Thursday. October 21. Chiefly through the efforts of Mayor Whedbee and other unnamed local enthusiasts the governing powers of the tour were forcibly acquainted with the- historical interest rampant here; interest by the way that is being proven to out-date even the -nuch-heralded "Cradle." The travel bureau executives, counsellors, news paper and magazine writers and edi tors will stop here at the courthouse for approximately ten minutes, there by brinsine the total number of stops in North Carolina to 57 instead of the originally planned 56 stops. Today's success story: Received' just recently from Lieutenant T. J. Nixon, III, at Bremmerton, Washing-! ton, a very nice letter paying com-; pliments to M. L.

It wasn't without a sense of- par donable pride that we watched Claude (Lil Abner) Brinn get off those distance-eating punts and pass es at the . William and Mary stadium against the Norfolk Division Friday night. Even though Louisburg, with Lil Abner in a fullback position, was blanked by the strong Division eleven who gained 19 points, it didn't blind the Norfolk sportswriters to the fact that Claude was getting off 65 and 70 yard punts at will with a few 45 yard passes thrown in for , good measure. It is cheerfully conceded also that the Division gained very little ground across Henry Stokes' right guard positioif. The afore-mentioned sense of pride is felt because : both boyB were bulwarks of strength on local gridiron squads a couple of years back. Ben Robinson also wore ,t Louisburg uniform, but a bum knee, troubling him since high school days, kept Ben on the bench; Coach Camp bell sending in only two replacements during the entire course of the even ing. l"hf t ' ' 'r,J.'

A couple of rah rahs are hereby ten dered Winslow for landing on the State squad with so little chance for pre-college gridiron training. Hard luck is dogging the steps of Scoco laborers, and when we say steps, we really mean steps. Less than a week after Chick Burnette mangled a leg in a screw type seed conveyor at the plant, Monday after noon Lloyd Felton, the piano-playing darkey from Market Street, stepped in another conveyor on the second floor Saturday and lost his right foot. It is sincerely hoped that Fel ton's loss will not seriously affect his musical talents since local people have long enjoyed hearing him at beneht performances. Timely Questions On Farm Answered Question: What should be done for colds in laying pullets ? Answer: Colds at this season of the year are usually caused by over crowding, parasitic infestation, un balanced diet, poor ventilation, or a drafty laying house. The first thing to do is to find the cause and correct it. The house should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and the birds given Epsom salts at the rate of one half pound to three gallons of water. All of the most advanced cases should Good Second-hand Peanut bags For Sole ' '" ' ' i,' ' ''C:' , '-. .m' v :; " . f'7': These, bags are of the same quality that proved so satisfactory to the many farmers who used them last year.

" PHONE 34 - . be destroyed as these seldom xecover enough to make profitable birds. A good germicide should be kept in the drinking water at all times. Question: How long should . the heat be continued on the potato cur ing1 house? ' Answer: The ' bouse should ; be heated at all times during the curing and storage period, but the temper ature Bhould be lowered to 50 degrees after the curing is completed which usually , requires about two weeks. The curing temperature should : be from 80 to 85 degrees F and when the sprouts begin to appear the po tatoes are cured. During the stor age period the temperature - should never go above 60 as high tempera tures during the storage period cause excessive shrinkage. Question; How far apart should I place apple and peacn trees in plant ing a home orchard? Answer: The apple trees should be set at least 35 feet apart and the peach tree 25 feet between trees. In setting the trees be sure that the hole is wide enough to receive the roots without bending them from their natural position. The trees should be planted from one to two inches deeper than they stood in the nursey row, with the top soil placed around the roots and packed firmly. A good mulch of leaves, straw, lawn clippings or cottonseed hulls will conserve moisture and aid in main taining vigorous growth.
