A roadway BY JOHN ond JANE STRICKLAND CERTAIN fear had for years gripped Raymond Medford, 548 Columbia Avenue, Millville, New Jersey. He wasnt afraid of people, or so he thought; he wasn't afraid of animals, of that he was sure; he wasnt afraid of work, to which he applied himself vigorously. His great fear centered in making a change. And now a change must come. He had long been employed as the head of a department of a store which was soon to go out of business. Raymond wasnt alone in his fear. Most of the employes were worrying about their future, for the depression of the thirties was not yet over and jobs were scarce. But even if he could find a job, he was afraid he couldn't fit himself into the personnel; he had A 0, 30-fo- ot been associated too long with his present fellow workers. He had learned how to please the Higher-Up- s here, but new Higher-Up- s would be different people. But having a certain type of determination in his make up, he told himself that what he had to do would better be done at once. So even before the other employes began casting around for jobs, he took a plunge: he decided to apply for a highly desirable job that he felt sure he wouldnt get; this was merely to practice his sales talk on his own abilities. Lo and behold, he got that job! His motto today is, If youre afraid of the water, plunge right in; it will be warm in a few minutes. HUNTERS DEER RESERVOIR reserA 26,000,000 acre-fovoir will be created by Glen Canyon Dam. About 20,000,000 acre-feof this total storage will be active or useable storage. The Glen Canyon reservoir will be long, winding and narrow. It will extend 186 miles up the Colorado River nearly to the mouth of the Green River. Storage water will be backed 71 miles up the San Juan River, a principal tributary entering the Colorado River from the east. The surface area of the Gien Canyon Reservoir will be about 240 square miles. ot We Are Equipped To Handle Your Game et CUTTING STORAGE SKINNING WRAPPING SHARP FREEZING For Locker Or Home Freezers WE CURE AND SMOKE VENISON HAMS POWERPLANT A single powerhouse built at Glen Canyon TAKES FATHERS JOB . . .
