Eddie Stevens, vice-president
of Ames Textile Corp , stated in
Lowell, Mass , last week that
they were closing their Richmond
Me , plant and moving some of
the machinery to Cleveland -and
some to their plant at Skowhe
gau, Me.
Mr. Jenkins stated that seven
new spinning frames will arrive
at the Cleveland plant early in
February.
Mr, Jenkins tells that Ames
has recently purchased the I, A
Wyner Co , which is a major
producer of knitted fabucs, and
will knit jersey fabrics.
Mr Jenkins lays stress that the
additional spinning frames will
necessarily mean an increase in
total plant employment here in
Cleveland.
He tells that the future oper¬
ation of the Cleveland plant will
be to produce woven fabrics and
adding a line of sales yarn for the
weaving and knitting trade.

this famous scenic highway to be boilt.
Mr, Woody now positively tells that the

old “Little Andy" Adams place ts up
Dukes Creek.
Then, why does the Forest Service
stubbornly continue to hold to their pres¬
ent survey from Richard Sims up a hii|

No one knows what Seuator Ruusell had

COLD WINTERS
TO MAKE COMEBACK
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Remember
how grandpa talked about the winters
when he was a boy, how the snow
drifted to 30 feet and rivers froze solid
so you could walk across ?
Well, those winters are coming back.
That’s the opinion of Dr. Hurd C. Wil¬
lett, professor of meterology at Mas¬
sachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dr. Willett has made an amazing,
record of long-range weather fore¬
casts. His predictions include:
1. THE NEXT 50 YEARS look
promising for ice skating and skiing
enthusiasts in America. Weather in
this country will be colder and wetter
over the long run.
2. THERE WILL BE more rainfall
and cooler weather in the Middle West,
Southwest and South. There might be
a period of lesser drought in the south
ermost part of the country, occurring
about 1975 to 1980.
“Of course,” Dr. Willett said, “these
long-range forecasts are only the high¬
lights of what we must expect in the
next half century or so as the earth’s
climate continues a new phase of its
periodic changes.” he added, “is
“The weather,” very
changeable, as everybody knows, and
there will be short periods when it will
run contrary to the long-range trend.”

“I FOUND IT”
By ROSS CUTTING
If you’re always looking for some
better tasting foods when you shop,
and if you like the tangy beef we
used to get before chemists and agri¬
cultural experts found short-cuts for
beef production, you’ll appreciate tin
occasional piece of Iowa Com Fed
Beef.
Seven years of eating Florida beef,
raised on orange peel and palmetto
leaves I guess, made me hanker for
real good beef. Somewhere I learned
that the Rath Co., Davenport, Iowa
ships extra good beef to replied Georgia, so
I wrote to them. They that
the Massey Store, on the comer op¬
posite the west side of the City Hall,
in Gainesville, receives shipments of
their beef every week. On the next
trip to Gainesville 1 stopped at Mas¬
seys and bought a sample piece.
The next noon just before lunch¬
time, our kitchen smelled so good with
two rib-steaks in the electric roaster
that I kept lifting the cover to get
better sniffs. That grilled steak was
the best I had eaten in years—tender,
tasty and tangy. It was so good that I
went back to Massey’s too often and
nearly wrecked the budget—rib steak,
chuck roast and ground chuck . . . and
the price was of but POOR five beef! to six cents
above the cost
And now, when the boss is coming
for lunch; when menus become stale
or when you want to butter-up the
O. M., just try a piece of Corn-Fed
Iowa—where-the-tall-com-grows beef.
If you’re budget-minded, grind tell chuck the man
you want him to some cut.
before you fry it as meat cakes,
one egg for each batch of 2 or 3
add about 4 tablespoonfuls flakes of

HALTING POLLUTION
The Ancient Mariner’s cry about
drinking water was taken up in
altered form this week by a group
of landlubbers meeting in Washing¬
ton.
What these men—1,500 experts
gathered for America’s first national
conference on water pollution—
were concerned about was not so
much salt water as detergent water,
industrial waste, and sewage seep¬
age.
The problem is not dangerous as
yet. It is merely gaining momentum
too speedily.
Pollution of watercourses has in¬
creased sixfold during the past 6t
years, If continues to increase more
rapidly than preventive efforts.
Industries now discharge twice
the volume of waste substance into
watercourses that is discharged by
all the nation’s cities-and-towns.
Expansions of sewage treatment
plants are lagging behind popuation
increases.
The technology of purifying water
by extracting waste impurities (such
as detergents) simply has not kept
pace with the rapid invention of
household and industrial chemicals.
The pollution conference in Wash¬
ington was aimed primarily at find¬
ing some national answers to the
problem that could be applied uni¬
formly in all localities.
Some such answers are already
apparent:
1. Industrial plants should be put
under much stricter local ordinances
or state laws requiring them to clean
up their own waste. Model ordinance
specifications might be provided by
the national experts to help guide
local lawmakers.
2. Local administrations should
budget their capital expenditures for
sewage plants and antipollution
measures over a long-range period,
allotting a portion of each year’s
reveunes so that cities are not sud¬
denly caught with enormous needs
beyond their borrowing power or
their taxpayer’s means.
3. Federal aid is called for along
several lines. Current Justice De¬
partment prosecution of erring cities
that ruin the antipollution efforts
of communities downstream should
be expanded if it proves successful
in test court cases. Research, by con¬
tract to private industry or by gov¬
ernment agency, should be pushed so
that local communities can benefit
from more efficient, cheaper water
purifying systems. Federal-state
machinery should be created to help
coordinate community efforte along
entire river systems.
Pollution is a subject usually con¬
sidered beneath notice. But a citizen
need only view himself as a water
user to realize how important it i 3
that he support the adoption of pre¬
ventive measures in time.
