" WASHINGTON, D. C. — Tne long awaited third and final Interim report from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, covering a Wabash River navigation plan, five reservoir projects and one local flood protection project, will be unveiled February 27 at the annual meeting of the Wabash Valley Association at French Lack. Your Congressman plans to attend this important meeting and will participate in a special panel discussion regarding the operation of our Washington office and our work for the Seventh District. One of the first steps we took at the outset of the 90th Congress was to contact all the agencies working on programs involving our 13-county area. The officials have been most cooperative in bringing us up to date on all projects. As a lifelong resident of the Wabash Valley and charter member of the Fountain County Chapter of the Wabash Valley Association, I was particularly interested in the status of flood control projects near completion or in the planning stage. Water is one of our most important natural resources and its control, use, and conservation are matters of concern to everyone. *Our district, which has ex-

Meeting Place Changed By Reds BH81LIN UPI — Hie Communist bloc foreign minister’s meeting, scheduled to begin in East Berlin today, was abruptly ' switched to Warsaw, the Cotntnunisrt newspaper Berliner Zei-

ttmg said.

iThe meeting was called by BhaCem Germany to halt further Wart German contacts behind the Iron Curtain. The East German move was spurred by the ^gntng of a diplomatic accord last week between CommuBist Romania and Bonn. Romania snubbed the Communist meeting by sending Foreign Minister Cornel Maneseu to Belgium instead. The Berliner Zeitung did not Bay why the meeting was switched. The change in sites was not reported in any other organ of the Communist Ger-

man regime.

“As we have learned, at this time, the foreign ministers of the nations of the Warsaw Pact (Communist bloc) are meeting In Warsaw to discuss the current questions of European security,’* the East Berlin news-

paper said.

As well as the Romanian anub. East Germany was expected to face the fact that both Hungary and Bulgaria are ready for relations with Bonn. The East German want West Germany to give up its claim to being the only legal German state before being allowed diplomatic contacts with the Communist world.

TOaiJuMitA* By Congressman JOHN T. MYERS perienced millions of dollars In flood damage in past years, now contains a vast system of Reservoirs, flood control and watershed developments which, when completed, should proiide the maximum protection. Eagerly awaited is the February 27 report which should set the stage for further development of a comprehensive plan for the Wabash Valley area. In connection with this is the much publicized proposal to make the Wabash River navigable from Terre Haute to the Ohio River. The results of this preliminary economic survey, conducted by Dr. James E. Lane of Indiana State University, should reveal whether more detailed study of the navigation potential of the Wabash River is warranted. Also expected to be included in the final interim report will be a recommendation on the proposed Big Walnut Creek Reservoir in Putnam County. A major flood control project now in the final planning stage in the Seventh District is the Big Pine Reservoir, which will be located in Warren County. Congress presently has before it a request for $200,000 from the Army Corps of Engineers for advance engineering and design of the project which would control the run-off from a 331

square mile area.

A total of $264,000 has been asked for maintenance and operation of the three major reservoir projects already completed in the Seventh District. Monroe Reservoir, east of Bloomington, will coat $90,000 for the next fiscal year; Cagles Mill Reservoir in Putnam County, $85,000 and $89,000 for the Mansfield Reservoir in Parke County. A total of $371,000 has been requested by the Army Corps of Engineers to continue the Wabash River Basin Comprehensive Study to arrive at a plan for development of water and related land uses and resources in cooperation with other Federal, state and inter-

state agencies.

Numerous other projects such as the Greenfield Bayou Levee in Vigo County and the Island Levee in Sullivan County are also nearing the construction

stage.

In addition to your individual efforts and the work of your Congressman, other groups working to promote these projects are the Wabash Interstate Compact Commission, headed by Dr. B. K. Barton, 416 Rea Building, Terre Haute, and Howard Mendenhall, Executive Vice President of the Wabash Valley Association, Skiles Building, Mt. Carmel, Illinois.

Chemical Sprayed By U.S. Planes SAIGON UPI—U. S. planes are chemically defoliating the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in a campaign to choke Communist troop infiltration of South Vietnam, military spokesmen said today. Spokesmen said Air Force transport planes sprayed hundreds of tons of vegetationkilling chemicals on the southern half of the six-mile-wide zone Sunday in an effort to strip away the jungle canopy under which Communist infiltrators hide. In the air war against North Vietnam, spokesmen said, U. S. jets and Communist MIGs tangled in a brief dogfight Sunday but there was no loss by either side. The American raiders went on to blast North Vietnamese troop barracks 26 miles west of Hanoi. U. S. infantrymen, receiving air support from giant B52 bombers, were battling Viet Cong forces along South Vietnam’s border with Cambodia and reported at least 44 Communist troops killed. Spokesman said the border battle, called Operation Gadsden, began four days ago but intensified Sunday when U. E. 25th and 4th Infantry Division troops attacked three Viet Cong base camps and sent the Communists fleeing for their lives. Some of the Viet Cong plunged into a river and swam across the border to Cambodia, spokesmen said. Although the Americans did not follow, they exchanged fire from the Vietnam side.

unison.

singing.

Roll call was a - -wered with Valentines for the beautifully decorated box. Secretary’s and Treasurer’s reports were given and accepted

Bills were allowed. Dues paid. Reports of last council meeting was given by the president. A very interesting lesson on “Stretching the Family Income” was given by Betty Green. Most families think of the Family Income, as the salary received, not considering our Police Department, Fire Department improved roads, paved streets, our churches ets., as a Family Income these sources are always there for us to benefit from. Everyone has the same amount of time, but our money varies, time can not be borrowed as can money. Our income can also pertain to the pleasure

we get from our time or money. No two families have the same way of “Stretching the Family Income.” Club meeting was dismissed with the club prayer. The social hour was enjoyed by all, writh a shower for Vivian Godfrey who was recently married. A contest was given by Karen Wood, won by Virginia Starr. Carol Cooper held the lucky napkin, and Karen Wood received the door prize. The hostess served lovely refreshments. The March meeting will be at the home of Carol Cooper.
