Concrete lining of the canal was completed recently, leaving only bridges and other i structures to be finished before the full integrated operation of ; CVP begins In July. The canal has capacity of 4,000 cubic feet j of water per second. J A A A A j THE 'BIG DITCH' ,153 Mile Friant-Ker- n Canal Will Irrigate Dry San Joaquin Valley The latest step toward putting the California central valley project into operation this summer was the completion of the concrete lining work on the 153 mile man-mad- e river the Frlant-Ker- n canal which will cost an estimated $60,000,000. ' With the exception of tomt work on siphons and bridges, the brief ceremony marked completion of the waterway which by exchange will bring water from Shasta reservoir, nearly 500 miles to the north to the parched farm lands of southern 'San Joaquin valley. Of the eight initially authorized features of the vast central valley project, only two the Delta Cross channel and the Delta-Dendot- a canal and Its pumping station-rem-ain to be completed. Both are scheduled for operation before July when the mass movement of water from the snow capped watershed draining into Shasta reservoir to the Kern river near Bakersfield will begin. The bureau of reclamation's con-struction engineer for the project, S. S. Leonard, hailed the event as a fitting climax to 50 years of hopes and planning. "Fifty years ago the men who talked of completing this great canal were called impractical dreamers. Yet today we are only a few months from the time when water stored in Millerton lake be-hind Friant dam can eventually serve 624,000 acres," he said. Still to be cor pleted are the distribution systems by which Friant-Ker- n water will be deliv-ered to the Irrigation districts served by the canal. These sys-tems, to be constructed mainly of concrete pipe, will cost more than $70,000,000. Work on sev-eral districts already Is under-way. Work started on the canal in Sep-tember of 1945. Portions of the "big ditch", which carries 4,000 cubic feet of water per second down the east side of the San Joaquin valley, were in use as early as 1948. Because of the nearly unprece-dented scope of the job, special equipment was used by several of the contractors. Huge dragline ex-cavating machines roughed out the canal trench. Then came the trim-mer, which cut the bottom and sides to grade and to a smooth surface. Following the trimmer, and run-ning on the same rails beside the trench, was a complicated me-chanism known as the slip form, which placed the concrete lining as it rolled slowly along. Attached to the slip form were the finishing and painting "Jumbos". In the wake of these huge machines, was the finished product concrete placed, finished complete with expansion joints and painted. Workmen above put finishing touches on the Little Dry creek siphon which carries waters of the Frlant-Ker- n canal under the stream bed on Its way south from Friant dam near Fresno to the thirsty crop lands of the southern San Joaquin valley. ahoney I fa7 jiqo 1 Lxff a STTV OF KENTUCKY FOOTBALL GAME T&MaW (u'dVmS meiam upivwifur THI3 FALL, CHE SPELLED OUT THE SCORE IN ORANGES.

PINKHAM'S I CIVDIA COMPOUND I You Gotta Know Where This may come as a distinct sur-prise to thousands of American an-glers, but it Is a fact that less than h of all our lakes and streams have any fish In them. Con-sequently knowing where to look for fish Immediately becomes one of the most important of considera-tions to the angler. As many fishermen know to their discomfort and distress, too many stretches of our lakes and streams fail to produce, no matter how hard the plugging, or bait-fishin-and, scores of experts to the contrary, the magician with any of the three types of fishing rods will do no better than the veriest tyro. The simple reason Is there are no fish in such stretches and all the angling skill in the world, therefore, cannot produce any. So, is the big problem posed for the angler. He must locate water that contains fish and he must have something of knack or know-ho-about determining where the fish will be feeding. In waters that have become fa-miliar over the years and where the angler knows he is likely to pick up a keeper, or several, the prob-lem isn't so complicated. Here are a few hints that may help the an-- gler on strange streams or waters: In streams, look for overhanging banks, pools below rapids, edge of current at backwater pools, log-jams, submerged trees or roots, behind rocks or other obstructions and over gravel and rock bars. It is always well to fish under bridges, for these, with their pilings and support ofttimes are favorite hang-outs for good-siz- e fish. Both ends of connecting channels usually will pay off best In lakes, while along weed beds extending above the water and shelving ledges also will be found productive. Fish the inlets and over sand bars. Here, too, as on the streams, water under overhanging trees, offer-ing cool shade, may produce well. Always remember that fish spend a considerable time of the day fish-ing, and where you find their food sources, you'll find them. AAA Sleeping Bag Warmth The warmth of a sleeping bag Is always dependent upon the ability of its filling to retain body heat. Feathers have been found to be the best filling and Insulation for a sleeping bag becaus they re-main fluffy, creating thousands of small, dry, dead air spaces which are poor conductors of heat, thus keeping In body heat. Wool kapok and cotton are successively less satisfactory, since they will become all paced down after awhile. This destroys the air spaces and de-creases their Insulation value. In order for one to get the great-est amount of comfort from any type of sleeping bag, use of an air mattress is almost indispensable. These come In two sizes, full length and knee length. Most campers pre-fer the latter, as it weighs less; but for fullest comfort and where weight isn't a too-vit- factor, the h mattress will be found more desirable. It is well to remember that one which can be blown up by lung-pow- er is handler than one which requires a pump, for a pump can be misplaced or lost, thus rendering the mattress useless. One mistake against which sleep-ing bag-user- s should guard is in-flating the mattress too much, mak-ing it hard and uncomfortable and subjecting it to abnormal wear through over-pressur- e. AAA Windbreaks Cut Fuel The quiet purr of an oil burner can rise to a roar in the ears of an economy-minde- d home-own-when the mercury dips into the low-er brackets. The fellow who has to cut wood and shovel coal sometimes develops a permanent stoop by the time springtime brings relief from a long, cold winter. Yet. a little spring work with spade and axe can cut down the noise and give the fire-man a chance to straighten up his spine during the more frigid months. Windbreaks can do the planted along the edge of a house lot can cut a an hour wind to nothing, and calm to gentle breezes the icy, gusts that suck heat from a building. Windbreaks on a farm, according to the Missouri conservation com-mission, which recently studied the subject, also cut livestock feed costs and increase milk and meat pro-duction. Stock for windbreak planting is inexpensive and often can be ob-tained at less than cost from state nurseries.

THE GREAT TENNESSEE MYSTERY WILL ALL MEN who had their stolen at Tennes-see waltzes kindly raise their right hands? And all women, too? Come, come, there must be SOMEBODY 1 Any person, man, woman or child, who lost a partner while dancing in Tennessee, up with your hands, please! This thing cries out for careful checking. A song "Tennes-see Waltz," in which the singer de-plores the purloining and misap-propriating of his gal during the dance, has swept the nation. It de-luges the country from jukebox, radio, video, movie house, tavern, saloon, night club, phonograph and songfest. From the feeling put into it by the singers and the deep reac-tion manifested by audiences it would seem that In every American mind is the heart-breakin- g memorj of a stolen waltz partner. Tears, sniffles and sobs are to be heard in countless homes as thousands of singers wail senti-mentally of the Girl of The Year T h e Stolen Tennessee Walts Partner. If even a small percentage of the npnnle who seem to understand such an experience have really come through it, three things seem apparent: 1. There is hardly a man or woman in an American home who hasn't danced in Tennessee under conditions of great uncertainty. 2. Those who went to such a dance with a partner and never saw him or her again are legion. 3. The Stolen Tennessee Woman Situation may be partly responsi-ble for the jittery, quarrelsome, and at times screwball mood of the American populace. Our efforts to explain the mood of nostalgia which comes over people listening to the song have not been too fruitful. Approaching one gent who seemed visibly moved by It, we asked, "When did you last dance in Tennessee?" He replied, "With me it was West Virginia, and it was during the Pennsylvania Polka! Bug out, will ya?" We tackled a man in whose eyes were tears, as he swayed with the mournful melody. Patting him on the back, we asked, "Where did you lose her, Chattanooga or "It was either Passaic or Beaver Lake, New Jersey," he sobbed. "I've never felt like penetrating the deep south since that unlucky IllUl. "How did it happen?" we asked. "I let her dance with a big hand-some guy who seemed dependable," he cried. "And he stole her?" we ob-served. "Hell, no!" he snapped. "He brought her back and left her on my hands. I married her and have had to live with her ever since. What do you think I'm weeping about?"

Grid Manpower Problem Likely By GRANTLAND RICE 1 SPRING FOOTBALL WITH getting under way, western and southern football coaches have already selected their candidates for top honors next fall. The answer is Army and Navy. "I've kept fairly close track of the situa-tion," one west-ern coach said. "Every team In the Far West has already lost valuable mate-rial for 1951. We have already that saved college football. The Navy and Captain Tom Hamilton's Preflight teams. Army made no move in football's direction, al-though Army's West Point team led the pack. Any number of college stars moved into the two academies and more than a few moved out again before the war was over. Navy especially lost a big portion of her earlier talent. For a while such teams as Notre Dame and Michigan received big help from Navy allot-ments. But when it came to the stretch only Army and Navy had the talent. Army, for example, crushed Notre Dame by such scores as 59 to 0 and 48 to 0, if we happen to recall the correct figures. Any-way, Notre Dame took a bad beat-ing from Army. Through this war period Duke, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Tulsa, Oregon, Southern California, and a few others had pretty fair squads. - But the general average of 's and kids didn't add up too strong-ly. Michigan had a good team, even after losing Bill Daley, a former Minnesota star back. Pennsylvania did well, especially after Minisi's return. Grantland Rice ,ost two sUr freshmen from last fall and two very good sophomores. The others have lost about the same number. But Army and Navy will lose no men to the draft. Both finished the 1950 season with fine mate-rial left for 1951. Army has a lot of fine backs, Including Blaik and Pollard. Navy ended her season with all the material any team needs. This was po-tentially a good Navy squad all fall. It simply never got to-gether until the Army game. On that day it was probably the strongest team in the country. It will be even stronger next fall. Will Navy look after college football again? Will Army pitch In to help? Or will any such help be needed? For example, George Munger's Pennsylvania team had arranged a rugged schedule for 1951, includ-ing Notre Dame and California Pennsylvania had a good-lookin- g squad in action last fall with a better one all set for this next sea-son. No one knows what will hap-pen by next fall. Princeton and Cornell seemed to have the best Ivy League material for the 1951 campaign, but once again this will be a guess. Ray Robinson's tMace Ray Robinson's victory over Jake LaMotta has already started a new debate on his place in ring ranking. This means the all-tim- e spot the new middleweight champion should draw in fistic ratings. Wearing two crowns on his head at the same moment in two of the tougher divisions is only part of the story. Robinson has been forced to shed one title, the welterweight top piece, but he is still the best welter-weight there is. The LaMotta affair should lift the present middleweight king still higher among those now tossing leather hnnlr an4 fnvth Rtif Via I. "Now take the draft situation. Full pressure hasn't even started yet. It is just beginning. It will land with a heavy thud by May and June. Many collegians won't be called before June. They will be given the chance to finish their year's work. At least many will. After that I'm afraid it will be just too bad for a lot of us. Unless we have war with Russia, we'll have football next fall. There will be good football men In the R.O.T.C. who may not be taken. But I doubt that we will have many "It will be a little rougher than it was in World War II. The call on those from 18 or 19 to 21, 22, or 23 will take many an athlete. How many, no one knows." Southern coaches we ran across had about the same slant. "In the Southwest," one coach said, "Texas A. and M. will have the best chance. Texas A. and M. Is practically a military college. These men will be given the chance to complete their military training. A fellow like Bob Smith, a great back, will have a terrific year. "Spring practice 'will go along just about the same. But the big gaps will open in May and June, on through the summer. By next September the draft losses and the enlistments will be heavy for every-body except Army and Navy." e What about the Future? In World War II it was the Navy - . v w , ukic aa an even bigger argument at hand. How would you rank Robinson with Harry Greb, Stanley Ketchel.

Friant-Ker- n Canal Cost 60 Million The Friant-Ker- n canal system, which will cost $60,000,000 when completed, will deliver water 153 miles to that rich area of southern San Joaquin valley that is so dry. Fabulous crops have been produced in those parts of the valley that have been irrigated. The distribution system into the irrigation districts from the canal will cost approximately $70,000,000.
