GRAND CANYON RIVAL PLANNED IN NORTHWEST

Wilds of Snake River’s Deep Gorge May be Developed.

Boise, Ida.—A plan to develop a sight-seeing rival to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado is being evolved by Idaho engineers who hope to make a national park of the Hell’s Canyon section of the mile-deep Snake River gorge. These engineers say the Snake River canyon exceeds by nearly 1,500 feet the depth of either the Grand Canyon of the Colorado or the Rio Grande. Where the Snake river forms the boundary between Idaho, Washington and Oregon, it twists like a serpent through a jumble of towering mountains, eroded earth and broken rocks. Isolated Now. This rugged and almost inaccessible wilderness is flanked by the Wallowa mountains on the west and by the Seven Devils mountains on the Idaho side. It can be crossed only by boat through the treacherous waters of the Snake itself. The waterway is filled with rapids, falls and whirlpools. Only a handful of white men ever have negotiated the river from Weiser to Lewiston, Ida. Now engineers visualize a $12,000,000 all-weather highway along the river bank. This would provide a shorter route to the sea for tourists and open to development vast stores of mineral wealth, it is claimed. The Idaho Planning Board co operated with Oregon officials in an effort to get the federal government .to make a national park of the area as the first step toward its development. Recently, J. D. Wood, state planning board engineering consultant, visited the area*with C. J. Olsen, assistant regional forester, Ogden, Utah; John B. Hatchar, Washington. D. C., forestry official; F. V. Horton, Portland, Ore., and Myers Wolf, Missoula, Mont. Scenic Advantages. The elevation cf the r""” through the Hell’s canyon "' ’ ies from 710 feet above re-' ’ el at Leuiston to 2,100 feet Weiser, Ida. The canyon ranges to a depth, from peaks to river level, of 6,700 feet. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado surpasses the Snake River canyon in the variety of its colorings, but the latter has a greater assemblage of scenic features of another nature. Rugged mountain peaks, capped with snow, rise, rise on each side. Outcroppings of granite, limestone, quartz, marble and lava rock etch fascinating, weirdly shaped panoramas against the sky. H«ge deposits of copper, iron, lead and other ores were prospected in the area, but without facilities for transporting to the outside, they proved worthless. o Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Will Broadcast Indianapolis, Inc. — Announcement of state-wide interest to mu- • sic lovers has been made to the effect that the state’s great Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, un---der the baton of Fabien Sevitzky, will for the second year broadcast Over the coast to Coast and short wave facilities of the • Columbia Broadcasting System.

Turkey and Noodle Scallop is one way to make delicious use of cold

left-over turkey.

There’s lots of meat still left, but not enough to make a real show. -Besides, by that time the family needs a little variation. Here are two ways to do it: *

First, we can make a most delicious Turkey and Noodle Scallop. This Scallop brings that cold turkey to the table as a fresh hot dish, savory, satisfying and full of good-

ness.

Turkey and Noodle Scallop 1 package (6 ounces) noodles 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 cup milk 4 ounces velveeta cheese ti teaspoon salt pinch pepper 4 tablespoons chopped green pepper, cooked 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento 2 cups cooked turkey (diced) 4 tablespoons buttered corn flakes ! (rolled) Cook the noodles in boiling salted tvater until tender, about nine minutes. Put the cream of mush.•oom soup in a saucepan and stir well. Then add the milk and heat, but do not boil. Stir the cheese (sliced) into the mushroom sauce and heat until the cheese melts. Remove from fire and add the seasonings, chopped green pepper, (which has been cooked 8-10 minutes in boiling water) chopped pimiento and diced turkey. Turn the mixture into a buttered casserole and sprinkle with rolled buttered corn flakes. Bake in a moderate (350°F.) oven for about 30 minutes. Serves 8. Another thing w r e can do is make individual Turkey and Mushroom Pies—or one big pie, if you wish. Cut it’s fun to make up individual ones in those shallow brown pottery bowls. Fresh from the oven.

bubbling gently under tender biscuit crust, they tempt any appetite.

Individual Turkey and

Mushroom Pie

1 cup cooked turkey (cut in % in.

squares)

1* can condensed cream of mush-

room soup 14 cup milk

cup green peas, cooked 12 cubes of potato (cut % in.

square)

4 small whole onions, cooked Mix the cream of mushroom soup until creamy Then add the milk, turkey, and green peas. Place 3 cubes of cooked potato and 1 cooked onion in individual casserole or pie dish. Put turkey and mushroom mixture over the vegetables. Then cover with biscuit crust. Makes four pies. Biscuit Crust for Pie 1 cup flour, sifted teaspoons baking powder 14 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter 14 cup milk (approximately) Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add butter and cut into flour until mixture is fine like cornmeal. Add milk and mix until a medium soft dough is formed. Knead lightly on a floured board then roll about 14 inch thickness. Cut in shapes the same size as the individual pie dish. Place biscuit cover over turkey pie mixture and press down on edge of dish. Cut perforations in top crust so that steam ‘may escape. Bake in a hot (425°F ) oven for 15-20 minutes.

Meat and Finsh Courses For Rats But Rodents’ Luck is Short-Lived

Green Bay, Wis.—The government has subsidized a “cafeteria system for rats. Under the plan, reputed to be highly effective, rats will be allowed a choice of meatballs or fish with their poison G. C. Oderkirk, diBiriet agent of the U. S. Bureau of Biological Survey, said farmers will be instructed to place alternate portions of fish and meat bait along baseboards and other places where rats run. ‘Then, if the rodents smell a rat in the hamburger,’ he said, they may overlook it in the fish. So we get them going and coming.” The campaign against one of mankinds greatest enemies will cover 55,000 farms through the cooperation of county agents in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky. Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. Farmers purchase the

bait at cost and the campaign is financed through a revolving

fund.

Continuation of the project depends upon the possibility of purchasing additional supplies of red squills, basis of the poison used in

the bait.

Red squill is produced from a kind of lily bulb grown along the shores of -the Mediterranean, par-

ticularly in North Africa.

Because the poison emetic, it is harmlessly expelled from the stomachs of human beings or domestic animals. However, rats cannot vomit and the poison produces quick death by paralyzing the heart and nervous system. Men working with red squill use respirators to protect themselves

from poisonous fumes.

Oderkirk said the war caused an increase of 200 per cent in the price of red squill and within the last month it had become hard to

obtain at any price,

SCHOOL PUPILS GIVEN LUNCHES

Underprivileged in Nation are Being Aided by the Government

Another picture of Government in Action is just being revealed in the highly commendatory project now under way, to serve 132,000 underprivileged school children free lunches daily in the public schools. This care for children has been undertaken in some localities, but this is the first time it has been introduced on a state-wide scale. Government has come to realize that in the education of the child for useful citizens of tomorrow,* it is not only necessary to train the mind, but to conserve and nourish the body which contains that mind. Three governmental agencies, the WPA, the Federal Surplus Commodity Corporation and the State Unemployment Relief Commission are cooperating with school officials, township trustees, parentteacher organization and service and patriotic groups in the great undertaking. Not only will this project provide food for these 132,000 children daily, but it will provide jobs for about 800 men and women who will prepare and serve the lunches in the schools. This is just one other detail in the far-reaching program of the ^ocial security plan inaugurated for the benefit of the Youth of the land by the Democratic Party. And this program, with a vision of the future, is seeking to better prepare the boys and girls of indigent parents, in their battle with life, in a long-range effort to eradicate indigency insofar as it is humanly possible. “The poor we will always have with us,” is a Biblical quotation, but government today, with a thoughtful eye to the future is attempting to fit the youth, mentally and physically, to combat indigency, ill-health and illiteracy in the next generation. Never before has Government lent a helping hand to Youth. We maintain this helpfulness will bear dividends as yet undreamed. —0 EAGLE A TOUGH ONE.
