Solitaire in Bed
Enaineer's Gadaei Makes It Easier
K I
FUN IN BED wu (he objective of Engineer Meyer fiat
when he invented this board to help him play solitaire.
Santa Barbara. Calif. Bedridden and bored, a card-loving engi
neer invented a gadget which will enable people to play lolitaire
in bed, a wheelchair, or even a moving car.
The device, a square board with slot which hold standard
playing cards, rests on the player's lap. Thus the necessity of
having a flat playing surface is eliminated.
Meyer Katz, the inventor, said he has applied for patents and
will put the board into production soon. He calls it the "Boochie
board," named for his wife, Ruth, whose nickname is Boochie.
He plans to test the boards on patients in veterans hospitals
before putting them on the market.
Katz, proprietor of an electric motor firm here, got the Idea
while confined to his bed with a heart ailment.
"The long hours dragged," Katz recalled, "and reading got tire
some. I love cards, but couldn't play them. Then I conceived the
Boochieboard. '
Katz first designed a small board on which miniature cards were
used. But he now has a larger model for regular-sized cards. The
board has a series of horizontal cardboard slots running across it,
in which cards may be inserted in any arrangement. The cards are
held firmly in place regardless of the board's position.

Vast Hydro-Electric Program
Outlined at Demo Meeting
San Francisco, Sept. 20 W) A vigorous program of hydro-elec
tric resource development in the west was outlined by department
of the interior spokesmen today at the western states democratic
conference.
Undersecretary of Interior Oscar L. Chapman defined the prob
lem as aimed at development of
land and industry; the use of
power to make up the rainfall
deficiency through pumping and
to make up deficiencies in ore
grades through mechanization
and electro processing.
"Wherever there is a gap be
tween the pants and the vest in
this resource development pro
gram, we must be prepared to
supply adequate power to bring
our activity up to our needs and
potentialities, Chapman said.
He said Boulder, Bonneville,
Coulee, Shasta, Parker and a
host of other existing projects
are no longer looked upon as
white elephants, even by our
most vociferous opposition."
"Hungry Horse, McNary, Da
vis, the American river projects
and a lot of other dams are un
der construction now without
ever having suffered from such
epithets," he noted.
We have proved one thing
these last 18 years: that our abil
ity to absorb kilowatt hours in
the growth and development of
this part of the country is un
limited.
We have shown that real de
velopment proceeds from mak
ing available amounts of elec
tric power of such greater de
gree as to constitute almost a
difference of kind from the en
ergy requirements that private
utilities heretofore assumed was
enough to satisfy western de
mands."
Another interior department
spokesman, Assistant Secretary
C. Girard Davidson, said "We
have not set up some theoretical
pattern to be followed willy nil
ly in every river basin. We have
frankly experimented with dif
ferent solutions that would fit
the different situations in dif
ferent watersheds."
Discussing western water de
velopment, Assistant Interior
Secretary William E. Warne
said 21,000,000 acres are under
irrigation and that feasible proj
ects make it possible to irrigate
approximately 20,000,000 more
acres. This would include wa
tersheds of the Missouri, the Co
lumbia, the Central valley of
California, the Colorado and the
Rio Grande. I
'Big Top' Late;
Circus Cancelled
Redding, Cal., Sept. 20 Ring
ling Bros. Barnum and Bailey
circus disappointed the kids for
the first time in 10 years Sun
day night when the scheduled
show failed to open here.
The "Big Top" tent itself fail
ed to arrive by rail from Ore
gon and circus officials were
forced to refund money to thou
sands of children and grown
ups from all over northern Cali
fornia. Animals, concessions and per
formers were all set to go when
officials announced cancellation
of the night's show. It was the
first time in 10 years, with the
exception of the disastrous
Hartford, Conn., fire, that the
show failed to "go on."
Cut in 'Merchantable'
Walnuts Proposed
Washington, Sept. 20 U.B
The agriculture department to
day proposed that 30 per cent of
this year's crop of "merchanta
ble" walnuts grown in Califor
nia, Oregon and Washington be
withheld from the market.
Merchantable walnuts are
those which meet certain grade
regulations set up under a fed
eral marketing agreement. Wal
nuts, as well as some other nuts,
presently are in surplus. The
marketing orders and accompa
nying regulations have been set
up to maintain better prices to
growers.
Under today's proposal, 70
percent of the merchantable
nuts will be sold into regular
commercial channels. The other
30 per cent can be diverted to
the non-competitive channels
which include sale of shelled
nuts, walnut oil or the export
trade.
Interested groups may submit
their views on the proposed di
vision of the crop to the depart
ment between now and Oct. 3
