Show 1 Good Creeli Work " li this day of criticism and mmplaint, it seems only right uid proper that the good .iings should be mentioned so. n AM therefore suggesting lilt you by means of our oper bring to the attention , the people of our Cornell Corn-ell tnuy a very worthwhile jject of reducing damage used by early spring flood iter from our canyon ! earns and providing some iployment to some worthy ople who are willing to -rk. k group of young people mposed of a Samoan, a iwaiian, a Negro, a Viet-imese, Viet-imese, a high school raluate and a young mother in a family to support, der the direction of Ros J1er, a Vietnam veteran, all i rubber hip boots, worked ie stream bed, lifting and illing large rocks by hand m the ice cold water and placed them to support the I .ream banks. THEY ALSO cleared the Itram of stumps, trunks and .cmbs of fallen trees, discard-d discard-d auto tires, oil drums and 1 Iter debris dumped into the tram by slovenly people. The natural beauty of the s'-tram has been restored and 'rosion reduced. 1! THERE was no idleness, no J amng on their shovels, no filing on the creek-bank, not Wi to warm their cold hands 5'? and feet constantly in cold water. Four members of the group were intending to attend college. They ask for work, they were doing it. WHAT a contrast from a previous and similar program called-PWA when loafing was the rule. An amusing sign installed in Logan Canyon at that time "Hunters beware! Don't shoot till it moves, it may be a PWA worker." This local project will be very beneficial for many years in reducing erosion and damage to land in both the upper and lower parts of our valley. CREDIT should be given to those who planned and are carrying out this excellent project. Frank D. Ashdown |
