been placed with the PWA for a |

grant of 45 per cent of the cost.

Noting that more than 50 Federal | agencies in addition to state, coun- | ty and municipal governments and various types of districts which have been or will be formed under state legislation touch the problems of the Great Plains at one point or another, the Great Plains Committee concludes its recommendations with the suggestion that a Federal agency be established to promote readjustments and co-ordinate the activities in this field. Such an agency should not displace existing agencies or assume any administrative control over the operations those bodies normally carry on.

FURTHER STUDY URGED

Its field should be that of a continuing study of the Great Plains problem and of endeavoring by consultation, education, persuasion and guidance to integrate the efforts of It should report annualwith recommendations as to Federal legislation bearing on the Great Plains and should be pre-

If there's any consolation in getting pinched for speeding it has to come from the realization that the old bus must be functioning on all four. But what is there to console you when that man on the motorcycle puts you on the pan for obstructing traffic? Before it gets down to that the smart thing to do is to trade the old car for a new one.
