WHIPS — DROUGHT Built F or Flood Use At That WITH MACHINERY (Associated Press Feature Service) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 3.— With an elaborate system of wa- ter control, the Tennessee Valley Authority has whipped the worst drought in the Tennessee valley in more than 40 year: Paradoxically, the feat was ac- complished with the same ma- chinery set up for navigation ar flood control and is regarded by engineer: a bright spot in the TVA de pment. The. intricate control the river ater period last winter, a power produc- tion was maintained at all the Auth$rity’S hydro plants, source of electric energy for more than 2,000,000 valley inhabitants. The key point in the battle to keep the water flow sufficient to maintain navigation and power production, without jeopardizing either, was Norris dam on the Clinch river in East Tennessee. The man directing the fight was Sherman M. Woodward, chief water control planning engineer for TVA. “Beginning last August”, Wood- ward said, “we were forced to draw on our reserve until in Feb- tuary of this year the Norris lake was 30 feet below normal level. “It was the most severe dry in the weather bureau Engineers who built the dam, however, had allowed a margin for just such an emergency, and when the lake was at its lowest ebb, heavy snows and _ spring rains gradually began building it up again.

History shows that when na- tions are invaded, an immense amount of gold, silver and jewel- Ty goes into hiding. Even entire national treasuries have disap-'; peared. Some of them—such as } Answers To Penetrator NOW YOU TELL ONE (My Acsociated Press) The following messages, ad- jdressed to The Citizen, are in an- |swer to Penetrator’s release on | Tuesday of this week of an art- Be concerning alleged high cost of living in Key West: KEY WEST IS, BEST “In answer to Perietrator’s art- icle om the high cost of living in |Key West, I can tell the people jof Key West different. “T lived in San Pedro over eight months recently and paid $25 a month just for rent. Gas jand electricity was extra. And ,as for rents being cheaper in ; Long Beach, that isn’t so—for I have a friend who has an apart- ment there, not as comfortable as mine, and she is paying $30 a month, with gas and electric lights extra. ‘Til admit that fruits and ‘vegetables are cheaper there, but they grow them, and they should be cheaper. The groceries, how- jever, I found higher than in Key West. Clothing is just about as cheap. Electricity was cheaper on the west coast, also gas, but they have natural gas which makes the cost lower. “If the navy personnel goes to Norfolk they'll find rents much jhigher than here. I paid $28 a month for one bed- {room and kitehen. $20 a month, it’s so far from the 'Navy Yard that it takes the men 45 minutes or more to reach their work. In Key West one can walk most anyplace you want to 0. z “Key West is much better than lots of other places I have been. (Signed) “A NAVY WIFE”. CONSTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS “I note in your paper some comment on high prices here. I must say that Penetrator has ,much that is fine in the story. “May I say that I am not a navy man, but a navy yard workman, and that wages paid to our class are lower in many trades than that paid in other! yards and naval stations? This question of high cost of living in this city, but it does have some bearing on ability to pay going expense costs. “There is a difference between an officer's pay and that of an enlisted man—remember that. “We cannot all be high sal- aried.
