Suggestion for Evacuation of
Drought-Stricken Area
Meets Firm Opposition
Turn in Tide Is Visioned
By Herbert Plummet
WASHINGTON (AP) Th federal
reclamation bureau let Itself In for
more than It anticipated when Iti
head, Dr. El wood Mead, suggested
evacuation of the drouth -stricken
western half of the Dakota and the
eastern slope of the Rocky moun
tains. The Immediate reaction of the af
fected area to Dr. Mead's proposal
apparently settles the question. The
government's Job Is to help these
people stick It out rather than to
vacuste them.
The explanation, say specialists
here, lie. in the fact that the people
of the wv?stern plains have In them
that pioneer blood which Is strong
because, as the saying goes, "the
cowards never started and the weak
lings never got there.'
Lawrence Westbrook, assistant dir
ector In charge o federal emergency
drouth relief, says the problem of
helping these people has to a, large
extent developed into one of helping
them where they are.
Telephone Story
He cited a county in which 500
families are trying to eke cut a liv
ing on 430,000 acres which have a
value of only $1 to $3 an acM and,
as farm land, should be abandoned.
"Most of them expect to stay in
this section, however," he added, "ir
respective of action taken by the
government."
Westbrook believes the records of
the telephone company best tell the
story of whether these homesteaders
are running to cover or standing
fast.
The first county in one state to be
designated as an "emergency drouth
area" has 109 telephones in rural
homes today as against 83 on the
first of this year. Out of the 369
rural telephones in the county men
tioned above where 500 families are
trying to "eke out a living," only
eight have been discontinued this
year.
In the 10 drouth counties of this
particular state which first were des
ignated as drouth areas, the total
number of telephones has Increased
this year from 603 to 671.
They'll "Stick"
"These people were skating on thin
ice above a fire-box," says West
brook, "and! now the inevitable has
happened. But they want to stick
It out until nature and agricultural
progress bring them another period
of comparative prosperity.
"Desirable as it might be to shift
them to better -watered lands, the
stubborn spirit which makes these
folk hold fast to the scorched areas
they have won at such a cost can
not be Ignored by the government."
The reply of one western South
Dakota rancher to Dr. Mead's pro
posal to move the people out of the
arid areas ii typical of the feeling
of all, it Is said.
"There's been lots of money made
In western South Dakota," he said,
"and there'll be plenty made In the
future."

"You will sea there Is something
else worth while besides the struggle
for the almighty dollar.
"The men are building fire trails,
fire breaks, developing the natural
resources of the forests, stopping de
vastating fires end developing psrk
areas."
The director reminded the people
of Medford and the west that because
of this fine territory and the opportu
nity for ao much development that
thousands of boys from eastern sec
tions had been sent to camps on
the Pacific coast.
Has Helped Medford.
"The Civilian Conservation corps
has helped Medford a great deal, with
headquarters here for numerous
camps. The CCC has bought 30.000
trucks, millions of gallons of gaso
line, and has spent millions for cloth
ing and food." he said. "For winter
camps, an order was placed for 350
million feet of lumber, said to be
the largest peace time order in his
tory. Dally 9130.000 Is spent for food
and the surgeon general's report
shows that the health of the men Is
better than the enlisted men In the
regular U. S. army."
Mr. Cammerer, who has been with
the park service for 30 years, and for
15 years had been assistant director
of the national park service, was
named director last year, adding to
his duties the supervision of the
buildings and reservations, which also
Include national monuments.
The psrk head, who also gave a
brief address, highly praised Mr.
Fechner, saying "He has put his time.
energy and soul Into the first thing
to come out of the new deal, and it
is inspiring to see how well the unit
Is functioning."
Tells of Serrlce.
Mr. Cammerer explained how the
park service was abolished last August,
and the new department formed by
Joining together several departments
and eliminating others. The scope
of the department, as explained by
him. Is tremendous. A department
of the interior building is now being
constructed at a cost of $10,000,000;
9350,000 Is being put into work on the
White House, and numerous other
projects are now underway.
"This la national park year, and I
urge you to make every year such.
There is plenty of money, plenty of
people are traveling and plenty of
people spending money."
Mr. Cammerer detailed how parks
and monuments were being started
and built up In the east as well as
the west. "You people can appre
ciate already having the land without
having to buy it back for these pro
jects, as Is necessary in the east," he
said.
"It has been pressing for years past
that this country needs recreated
forest areas, and this cannot be
equalled by other countries."
Cammerer Likes Area.
Mr. Cammerer was a visitor to Med.
ford and Crater lake a year ago, and
last evening expressed the desire that
he might at some time be able to
come here and make his permanent
home.
The gathering also had the pleas
ure last evening of greeting Colonel
C. O. Thomson, superintendent of
Tosemite National park, having for
merly been superintendent of Crater

tirement. Ben E. Harder, president of the
Jackson County Chamber of Com
merce, prealded as toast master and
the Cavemen and Cavewomen from
Grants Pass, attired in their skin
garbs, brought greetings to the na
tional leaders.

BANISH COMMON
CONSTIPATION WITH
DELICIOUS CEREAL
Kellogg's All-Bran Brings
Belief
Look out for headachea, loss of
appetite and energy, sallow com
plexions, sleeplessness. Frequently,
these are warning signs of common
constipation. If neglected, your
health may be impaired. i
Today, you can rid yourself of
common constipation by eating a
tempting cereal. Laboratory tests '
show that Kellogg's All-Bran fur
nishes "bulk" and vitamin B to aid
regular habits. All-Bran is also :
rich in iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in All-Bran is much
like that found in leafy vegetables.
Within tho body, it forms a soft
mass. Gently, this dears out the
intestinal wastes. How much bet-
ter this is than taking patent j
medicines 1 j
Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran ;
daily will usually overcome most
types of common constipation.
Chronic cases, with each meal. If
seriously ill, see your doctor. All
Bran makes no claim to be a "cure
all." Serve All-Bran as a cereal, or
use in cooking. At all grocers. In
the red-and-green package. Made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
