Problem Os Water Shortage

Deaf Sir. • Articles’ in recent issues of Tlie Mail-Journal make it seem _ prob- ' able that the new high school will be located tn the Dewart Like area. ’ As a year around resident of- Dewart Like 1 feel that I have a special and possibly. a selfish interest in this proposed location. I believe, however, that all residents be concerned in what I am going .to say and that the individuals which will have the responsibility '• for the decision should give my words some attention. I recognize that individual rights must be sak rificed for the general good but we are all also our brothers’ keepers. Eventually we are all going to be affected by what is becoming a nation wide problem. The problem is water shortage. : ’ I The low water plight of our lake | has been well publicised The sec -' t;on of Water Resources 6f Indiana I Kpr. of conservation has made a study of our problem Our water ‘ was nearly four "feet , ime of an- interim report in Septem-1 berand is lower now' although it has eorne back'a tew m.-hes due to recent precipitation.

Letters To The Editor

er now than in the dry years of the dust bowl fame in the thirties, and so there must be other contributing- causes. Some have blamed the duck processing plant west of our lake for excessive use of water from several large wells Others have blamed an extensive channel ing project to add saleable lake lots The department of conservation couldn’t support either-of these theories but the aggregate increased use of water was not explored. Even if channels do not leak water into other underground systems they do increase the area -subject to evaporation . ’ A new school in our area is going to require a large water supply 4 .

Scout Cabin (Continued from page 1) donation was too large to be practical. Where Is Our Calendar?

The missing calendar for the Camp Fire Girls also brought forth heated discussions from both sides. The calendar had been posted, but when , 1 they arrived at the cabin Wednesday I | it was gone and the Boy Scout cal-1 ; endar was posted wuth some con- > flicting dates on meeting nights. [ Mr. Coburn said he had tried to l contact some of the Camp Fire lead- ; ers as to their, calendar and had no success. Several of the leaders re- 1 plied their calendar had been posted and they had not changed their ; meeting nights and dates for several years. . • c Mrs. Harold Gallahan stated the . regional Camp Fire Girls leader had I been in Syracuse, and they had to hold a meeting elsewhere due to the mix-up of the calendar and she had . suggested the Camp Fire Girls get f some place where they could lock up their equipment since Jt is to valuable to be left out in the open. Mrs] Raymond Wilson told the board she would meet with Hugh Neer. Cub Scout leader, and straighten out the calendar. There are 100 Scouts and 150 Camp Fire Girls. Mr Cobum spoke of going into the cabin and finding doors and windows open. Mrs. Coy stated that the doors ; and windows should be locked and 1 fastened and new locks put on the I two doors that are used with keys given to Mr. Cobum and the Scout and Camp Fire leaders only, . as I j there are a great many keys out i ! now. '! Since neither side seemed to be ! getting anywhere it was decided to * hold another meeting on Monday. I Feb 1. at 7.30. The heating unit is : to be moved downstairs as soon’ as possible.
