Spokane, Wn.—Dr. Elwood Mead, United States commissioner of recla mation and staunch friend of the Grand Coulee project, in Associated Press reports of the National Recla mation association's conference in Salt Lake City, is quoted as saying, "The Columbia River is the largest and most dependable water supply of the whole region. Its flow last year was more than all the other arid rivers combined and it all ran to waste.” "While this happened there were thousands of farmers being disloca ted by the drought, discouraged and disheartened by dependence on rain, and seeking security that goes along with irrigated farming. "Four thousand of those migra tory people have shown up in the Yakima valley of Washington since August this year. Over 1000 of them are in Idaho. Provision should be made to care for these dispos sessed worthy people because of their needs and because of the needs of the west.” ------- -e =- • — AMERICAN LEGION POST HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING L. L.

Endorsement of the Christmas Seal Sale, now In progress through- out the state, has been given by Gov ernor Meier in a public statement issued today. The statement reads: "I am glad to call the attention of the people of Oregon to the Christ mas Seal Sale. Since 1915 this has been an annual event by which the Oregon State Tuberculosis Associa tion has carried on its activities. The money derived from these seals has gone Into public health education, into free clinics for those unable to pay for medical attention, into re search projects and into a crusade for public support for the preven- toin of this dread disease. "The splendid forward steps which have been made in our state tn tuberculosis cure and control are evidence that every cent Invested tn Christmas Seals has yielded a fine return In health and happiness. "The contribution asked from each one is not large and I hope all those who can possibly do so will help out cheerfully and generously.” There may not be much to do tn a small town, but you hear enough to make up for it.
