RIVER ROAD PLANG WIN NEW SUPPORT West Virginia Proposes Further Extension of Route to West. BY JACK ALLEN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. POTOMAC, Md., December 1.— Sponsors of the proposal to build an extension of River Road from Potomac { to White’s Ferry and to connect the | road with the Virginia highway sys- tem by a bridge across the river at that point, received support from a | new and unexpected source today Northern Virginia and West Vir- ginia leaders who have been advocat- ing a new river-level road to run westward through Charles Town and Martinsburg are urging construction of a George Washington Memorial Highway, with the proposed River road unit as one of its most important links. Start From Mount Vernon. The memorial route would run from Mount Vernon to Martinsburg. W. Va., | and on westward into country rich in Colonial history and frequently vis- ited by the first President. Word of the new support was re- ceived today by O. M. Kile, an official of the Montgomery County Civic Fed- eration, an active factor in the River road improvement movement, from Gray Silver, former lieutenant gover- nor of West Virginia. Silver, who is one of the leaders of the Charles Town-Martinsburg high- way movement, declared the memorial route would materially reduce the mileage and at the some time provide a new scenic route for tourists and motorists traveling to the Northwest The proposed road would follow the | Mount Vernon Boulevard from Mount Vernon to Washington. Capital streets would carry the traffic out to River road, which runs at the present time to a point just west of Potomac The River road extension to White’s Ferry, the proposed bridge and the proposed Virginia and West Virginia sections of the highway would carry the traffic on through Martinsburg | and toward the west Silver said that considerable prog- ress has already been made toward securing construction of the river- level road through Martinsburg It is planned at present to appeal to Congress for funds with which to construct the units needed to form the memorial route It was said by Silver in his letter to Kile that it is only fitting that River road be made part of a memorial high- way bearing Washington's name, for the road was greatly favored by him in his travels into and out of the Shenandoah Valley, where he spent much of his time The former West Virginia official pointed out the road, in addition to providing a scenic route, would open the way to scores of places closely identified with Washington and Co- lonial history. F.E. R. A. WAGES CUT TO HALF OR THIRD South Carolina Replaces 30-Cents- an-Hour Rate With 10-15- Cent Minimum. By the Associated Press COLUMBIA, S. C., December 1.— With the 30-cent-an-hour minimum dropped, F. E. R. A. wage scales over most of South Carolina have been | fixed at half to one-third of the former minimum Reports of action taken by county wage scale committees indicated to- day that a majority of them found 10 to 15 cents an hour a minimum more in keeping with the local scale for common labor in private enter- prises. New pay scales graduated upward on this is have been prepared and submitted to the State relief head- quarters here. Proportionate allow- ances are being made for semi-skilled and skilled workers Fred M. Baker, State relief admin- istrator, said today that the State administration “will make adjust- ments in the wage scale wherever there is any need of correction.” The 30-cent-hour minimum was re- tcinded, effective November 30, upon order of Harry L. Hopkins, national administrator, after it had been com- plained that its comparatively high figure made it difficult to secure farm and unskilled labor. The minimum for unskilled labor in rural districts ranged from 10 to 12!'; or 15 cents an hour, with a slightly larger minimum for unskilled workers in municipal districts under the new order of things in many counties.

The invariable result is lowered vital- ity. In many cases overweight per- sons have resorted to remedies which have proved an actual menace to health. To reduce safely the body must be properly nourished and this is best accomplished with a normal | diet of low caloric value.” His patients ranged from 14 to 67 years. Dr. Campbell asserted that he found no trace of kidney damage from the high protein diet during the ex- of | | periments, which ranged from a few | weeks to a year. The diets contained sufficient calcium and phosphorus to ouild bones and teeth, sufficient iron and copper to prevent nutritional anemia, sufficient vitamins and bulk. Here is a typical day's menu: Breakfast—One serving of fruit. one egg. one slice of toast, a pat of butter, coffee. | Luncheon——One small serving of lean meat, two servings of vegetables (one cooked and one raw), one slice | of bread, one pat of butter, one gla.ss‘ of milk, one serving of fruit.
