NORRIS, CALLED PERFECT CITY. NEARS FINISH Beauty and Its Livability Will Excel Finest U. S. Suburbs. Follnmini ii th** *rrond in a n*rfe of dUpalrhe* on the Tenne%ee vmlleT orogram. detaliint the building of Norri*. mode! rltr and arrhitert*’ dream. by FREDERICK (OTHMAN United Pres* Staff Corretpondent fCopvrighr 1934. br United NORRIS, Tenn., Feb. 20—This Is a city which reflects tangibly the ideals behind President Roosevelt's river development program. It has no counterpart for beauty and sheer livability. Not even the wealthy suburbs on the gold coasts of New York and Chicago can offer the advantages which the humblest householder of Norris takes as a matter of course. Two months ago Norris was a rugged plateau between the Buffalo creek and the Clinch river valleys. It contained a few mountaineers’ shacks, some cut-over timber—and many train loads of limestone boulders. Shacks Have Been Razed Today Norris is a scientificallyplanned city of winding streets and parkways. The shacks have given way to homes which bring smiles to architect and housewife alike. The boulders are being pulverized and strewn on the ground to fertilize it. About five hundred houses will be built. Some 200 already are In process of construction. Most of the workers on the Norris dam, around a bend in the valley, are housed in substantially built dormitories, with screened porches and hand-hewn shingles. When the dam is completed some two and a half years hence, the dormitories will be converted into the furniture factories, the spinning mills and the china plants which are intended to make the villagers self-supporting. About fifteen thousand pounds of maple tree seeds are being set out in nurseries to provide shade for future generations of Norris children. CCC and CWA workers are putting in flagstone walks, curving roads and sodding lawns. A community center for church, movie and town hall use is nearly completed. A modern cafeteria, where a good meal costs a quarter, is in use. College women operate it. They see *that the workers get their vitamins when they spend their quarters. Life Centers About Ham Life, of course, centers around dam, named like the city, in honor of Senator George W. Norris, the Nebraskan whose dream of an integrated modern life along the Tennessee river a decade ago finally is coming true. The colfer dam has been finished. The main dam scon will rise to the height of a twenty-story building between two mountain peaks on each side of the valley. It will form a lake of eighty-three square miles in the valleys of the Clinch and Powell rivers. Stiore line of the lake will be nearly nine hundred miles long. The shore line of Like Michigan is little more than one thousand miles. Work at the dam continues twenty-two hours a day. The other two hours are used for servicing electric shovels, drills and trucks. The highlanders labor in four shifts of a little more than five hours each. The rest of the day is their | own. They use their spare time in 1 developing their farms—and loiterghs, near the dam, like busmen on a holiday. Progress Rapid Now The TVA experienced great difficulty in obtaining the carloads of nails and the trainloads of lumber j necessary to build the coffer dam I and the houses in Norris. Do- j pression-ridden mills and factories simply didn't have supplies enough in stock. Material now is arriving in j quantities, however, so that Earle S. Draper, director of land planning ' and housing for the TVA. hopes to I have the city of Norris virtually i completed within another six mbnths. Work is proceeding rapidly on the i homes, which are his special pride. I Tomorrow—A home in Norris, which rents for S2O a month, in • eludes a farm, and provides some luxuries which even President Roosevelt does without. Cheap seed may be expensive, warns the department of agriculture. after testing low priced packets and finding many weed seed and seed that would not grow. YOUR GROCER WILL HELP YOU KEEP HEALTHY AND HAPPY Delicious Cereal Promotes Regular Habits The right kinds of foods form the very basis of health. You need nourishment for strength and energy. And you need “bulk” to prevent common constipation. Otherwise, this ailment may cause loss of appetite and Viergy. You can correct it, usually, by eating a delicious cereal. Kellogg’s All-Bran adds generous “bulk” to your daily menu. Tests show this “bulk” is similar to that found in leafy vegetables. Inside the body, the fiber of AllBra N absorbs moisture, and forms a soft mass. Gently, this clears out the intestinal wastes. All-Bran is also a good source of vitamin B and iron. Isn't it safer — and pleasanter—to enjoy this food in place of taking patent medicines? Two taMespoonfuls of All-Bran daily will overcome most types of common constipation. Chronic cases, w ith each meal. If seriously ill, see your doctor. All -Bran makes no claim to be a “cure-all.” Serve All-Bran as a cereal with milk or cream, or cook into fluffy muffin* and breads. Remember, Kelloeg’s All-Bran i| all bran with only necessary flavoring added. It contains much r more needed “bulk” than part-bran products. Get the red-and-green package at your grocer’s.

Indiana in Brief Lively Spots in the State’s Happenings Put Together ‘Short and Sweet/ By Times Special • MARION. Ind., Feb. 20.—Henry K. Richardson, former treasurer and co-receiver of the Marion Shoe Company, is defendant in a suit seeking recovery of $55,000, filed by Frank L. Butterworth and Charles A. Williams, co-receivers of the company. In other suits filed recently, recovery of $40,000 is sought from Mr. Richardson, based on alleged personal guaranty of payment for supplies bought for the shoe company. The $55,000 suit is an attempt to collect the purchase price of about 3.000 shares of the company stock alleged to have been contracted for by the defendant. His failure to pay for the stock, attorneys explained, probably was due to his guaranty for payment of other company obligations.

ACTION ON PWA GRANT SOUGHT BY CLOVERDALE Municipality Wants Loan of $2,300,000 to Build Power System. By Times Special WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.—Representatives of Cloverdale, Ind., went before the technical board of review of the public works administration today to try to learn why there has been no action on the municipality’s application for a loan of $2,300,000. The town wants the money to construct a waterworks system and dam. 10,500 acres of Eel River valley for water-power purposes. The application, on file several months, describes the proposed development as a sell-liquidating projects that can be amortized in twenty years, it calls for a hydroo-electric plant capable of generating 44,000,000 kilowatt hours of cheap electrical energy. According to W. S. McClintic, corresponding secretary for the town of Cloverdale, the Indiana Public Service Corporation, an Insull property, is opposing the loan. The Cloverdale Municipal Waterworks and Power Corporation, an agency set up by the municipality to develop the project and operate the water power plant for the twen-ty-year period, Mr.-McClintic said, has signed a tentative contract to sell 36,000.000 kilowatt hours a year to the Indiana Electric Corporation, operating subsidiary of the Indiana Public Service Corporation, at 7% mills per kilowatt hour. Engineers have estimated that the waterworks and hydro development will provide eighteen months’ work for 586 men, that clearing land will give a year’s work to ninetythree men, and that privately financed improvement of the shore line along the twenty-two-mile artificial lake will give two years’ employment to 110 men. With Mr. McClintic at today’s hearing were Mark W. Rhoads, Indianapolis attorney; Howard A. Meyer, attorney and president of the United Sportsmen’s Club; former State Senator Estes Duncan, president of the Cloverdale Municipal Waterworks and Power Corporation, and G. E. Ackerman of the engineering firm of Holland, Ackerman & Holland, Chicago. At the point near Cloverdale, where it is proposed to erect a dam 150 feet high, the average flow of Eel river is 475 cubic feet of water a second, Mr. Ackerman said, and the proposed hydro electric plant will have a maximum capacity of 34,000-horse power. RULES TAX BOARD MAY INCREASE $1.50 RATE Emergency Power Confers Authority, Lutz Holds. Governor Paul V. McNutt has procured an official opinion from Attorney-General Phil Lutz Jr., setting out that the county tax adjustment board does have power to raise the rate over the $1.50 statutory limitation when they declare that an emergency exists to meet budget estimates. The opinion was sought to answer persons who announced a plan to pay the $1.50 only, Govern McNutt declared.
