MARTIN COUNTY PARK CONTAINS

32.000 ACRES

Project Devoted to Forestry And Recreation Took 5 Years to Complete.

The 32,000-acre White River Land Utilization Project in Martin Counly was to be dedicated today, five years after the Federal Government began buying poor farms there.

Within sight of the 800-acre Lake | Greenwood, the State's newest man- | &

made lake, Federal and State officials opened the project devoted to forestry, wild lif: and recreation.

Federal Aids Attend

Participating in the ceremonies were to be State Conservation Commissioner Virgil M. Simmons; Phil G. Beck, Farm Security Administra tion regional director, and Dillon S. Myer, Soil Conservation Service assistant chief from Washington. Other speakers were to be James W. Pendry, project manager; A. M. Hedge and Kenneth Welton of the Ho Conservation Service at Dayon. Working day and night for two summers, workers made an earthfill dam 1900 feet long and 55 feet high. Before the reservoir w\s flooded hundreds of spawning beds and fish shelters were built. A 3500-acre game preserve, game food and cover patches and nearly 1000 upland game shelters are included in the wild lifg development. Eight miles of new roads were constructed and seven miles resurfaced.

Families Were Moved

When the Government acquired the land, 150 families had to move. The Farm Security Administration helped many find new farms. The Government reported that 15 per cent had enough resources to relocate on more productive land, 20 per cent were permanently dependent on old-age pensions or relief and 65 per cent were able to support themselves when they could find work, but lived in the area “as squatters or because of low rent.” Few of the latter group tried to farm the land, the Government reported, and many became WPA workers on the project. Population in Martin County declined 50 per cent between 1900 and 1930 because of depletion of timber resources, soil erosion and loss of fertility of farmland, the Government disclosed.

BRITON AND GERMAN DRINK TO COURTESY

LONDON, Sept. 15 (U. P.).—The master of a torpedoed British ship and the commander of the German submarine which sank it had a drink together after the ship had been abandoned, it was disclosed today. The first officer of the torpedoed steamship Firby, after landing at an unspecified port, said: “The U-boat commander sent an SOS to Mr. Churchill at the Admiralty giving our position. Then the U-boat sank the ship, which

went down in 10 minutes, “The U-boat commander treated us most considerately. He fired five warning shells, which wounded four of our crew. We launched the lifeboats and pulled alongside the Uboat. “The U-boat commander gave our captain a stiff drink, and the crew handed our men nine loaves of black bread and three rolls of bandages for our injured men. “There were heavy seas during the 13 hours before we were picked up by a destroyer and brought to port.” It was reported meantime, that been torpedoed by a submarine. Three members of the crew were killed in the torpedoing of the steamship Vancouver City.
