PAGE SIX Madigan Heads Postmaster List May Run for Shtriff If Bid Unsuccessful As shifting the dessert sands. That's what one politican said here last week, talking about the ins and outs of the Council Bluffs postmastership. At the crest of a list of some half a dozen names last week was A. Madigan, real estate a world war II veteran and present Fourth a alder- Madigan man. Considerable support has swung to Madigan.

The reason? As a relatively young man and a veteran? he should be generally well accepted, both political and business-wise. The choice appointment is generating considerable heat within the party, so look for some action on, the local postmastership soon. Of course, final approval of the local postmaster probably will be vested In Jake More of Harlan, state democratic chairman, and Otha D. Wearin of Hastings, district committeeman. II Modigoa doesn't gtt pestinastezghip, you'll probably fiad him a democratic candidate lor Pottawattamic county sberlii.

For 30 minutes, in the office of the sales manager of a Steel company In Chicago, Don Harding of Council Bluffs had heard a tale of how short steel was. Harding, president of Giant Manufacturing company, had made the trip to Chicago to pry loose some material for his Coun- ciLBluffs plant. The telephone rang.

Harding was wanted. It was Council Bluffs Junior Chamber of Com merce, telling Harding he had Five Ex-GIs at Kimballs to Complete Training Soon Five young world war II veter ans at the Kimball Elevato company will be graduated soon from apprentice draftsmen been named "Young Man of the Year." And could he get oack to Council Bluffs that night lor the ceremony." A quick check revealed there was no chance. So the JayCees made the presentation in at- sentia. But this is the pay-off! The salesmanger, who of course had listened to the conservation, was elated as Harding. When telegrams had been dictated, and the hub-bub had died down, he said: "Soy, what did you come hen for, anyhow?" "It's about that steel," Hard- ing reminded.

We'll take care of you." And he did. Carter Lake still feels the effect of the gambling clamp-down that closed down the Chez Paree. The owners of the establishment operated a well-regulated business. Attendants ran the parking area outside. Service inside was good.

The owners also sought the goodwill of the local citizens. The Chez Paree bankroll was apparently at call of persons wanting such things as school playground equipment. Now, all that is a thing of the past. From the dollars-sored angle, Supt. Russell Mourer believes HOTC training and instructors a great help to the public schools.

He figures the sergeant instructors replace three or four physical education teachers at each high school. Weather note: E. J. DeWall, 301 Perrin Place, was credited with an assist by the street department last week. DeWall hitched a sqow- blade to his jeep, cleared snow from block-long Perrin place and cleared a two-block stretch on Perrin avenue.

Astonished neighbors were more than gratified with their personal "street department." The recent death of Tom Callaghan, veteran police officer, broke up a three-man team of checker playing experts. The experts consisted of Callaghan W. C. "Bill" McDaniel, retired police officer, and Sam Friedman, veteran pawn broker, now retired. The trio played many a challenger.

They seldom lost. McDaniel was a pallbearer at the Callaghan's funeral. Friedman, now past 80, was in California at the time of the death. Here's one for the city's school kids.

Gallagher will be the last to graduate.

With the exception of Minton, who farmed, all were Just out of school when the war began. All five are married and three have children. Wages Go Up Under the program, the apprentices started at their trades at 55 cents an hour as "learners." They were raised' every six months until now in their final phase of training they make an hour. Their earnings can soar even higher than scale. If they become construction mechanics they can earn as high as an hour, according to Walter Jenkins, secretary-treasurer of the company.

The program was started shortly after the end of the war. Details of the training program were worked out by Richard Stoufer, Kimball's chief engineer and John Connelly of Sioux City, field representative of the department of labor. "We had special classes and educational films on blue print reading and allied studies," Stoufer said. "It worked out well. Some of the men are outstanding." 'Of course there were two or three others who started under the program and dropped out," ae added.

No Large Scale Program The plan would not work on a arge scale, he believes, because of the supervision required. "During the first six months, rainees are non-productive, understandably. And it requires he time of other men to teach hem," he added. "After that, production gradually Increases." The Kimball company plans a )arty in April when four of -to Norton to Head T. J.

She started her study course all over. The Nonpareil this month car ried an item in the "Thirty Yeafs Ago" column that is reflected in current news. Thirty years ago, Mrs.

A. P. Hanchett was hostess to the Booklovers club during its January and February meetings. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Me- Micken Hanchett, is mid-winter hostessing the same study club this year.

It's been a family and club tradition for over 30 years. Reason for the practice is the Hanchett home, located on South Sixth street, is usually more accessible during slippery months. Several weeks ago, Philip N. Krasne of Los Angeles, visited here with his brother, Millard Krasne, and other relatives. Last week, Saturday Evening Post readers were given an insight to some of Philip Krasne's movie operations on the west coast.

Phil, who was graduated from Abraham Lincoln high school here in 1923, is now the producer of western movies, eluding the Cisco Kid series. The SEP story revolves, around Pioneertown. It's located in the San Bernardino mountains, soirfe 100 miles east of the movie capital. It was built by a group who love the' atmosphere of the "old west." The community's charter even provides "Mane street" shall never be paved. Krasne, realizing the town and adjoining area was ideal for western movie location spots, has acquired the entire rights for use of the area.

He has built a sound stage on Mane street, dis- guished behind a false front that reads "Hay, Grain and Feed." That maintains the proper atmosphere. OTTUMWA, JP--Clarence B. Huffman, 32, Overland, was fond dead here Friday night in the cab of a truck he drove for Watson Bros. Transfer police said. Coroner Gordon Traul said blood tests showed the man died of carbon monoxide poisoning, and probably had been dead 18 hours before the body was discovered on a business district street.

Fern Orrell Retires From Mail Service Saturday was the last day at work for Mrs. Fern Baker Orrell, route 1, Manawa park. She is retiring Monday from the railway mail service after almost 31 years employment at the Council Bluffs Mail Terminal. Fellow clerks at the terminal presented her with a suitcase. On Monday she and her husband, Harry E.

Orrell, are leaving for an extended tour through the southwest. They plan to visit San Antonio, Brownsville, Corpus Christ! and Galveston, before continuing on to New Orleans, and eastward to Florida. After an extensive tour of Florida, including Key West, they expect to head homeward in April. Enroute, stops will be made in Tennessee and the Ozarks. munities will -thirst for water, say supply experts, unless they promptly heed current danger signals.

Drought conditions In New York cjty, parts of the midwest and the west coast are the warning notices. "A lot of places are heading toward water shortages right now because town fathers don't know enough about" their water supplies, and how much strain they wilr stand," says C. G. Paulsen, chief hydraulic engineer of the U. S.

geological survey. Former Gov. Leslie A. Miller of Wyoming, recent chairman of the Hoover commission's national resources board, points out that consumption of ground (well) water doubled between 1935 and 1945 and that several areas are using more water than their natural watersheds can replenish. There's no danger the country will run out of water in the for- seeable future, Secretary of Interior Chapman said recently, but "we can no longer take water for granted, as we do the air we breathe." Policy Commission.

President Truman this month appointed a temporary water resources policy commission to make a "careful review and appraisal" of the nation's water supply and all water use problems. Public attention on parching shortages, focused by New York's increasingly thirsty a makes it clear that decreasing water supplies are no simple matter. It's a complex problem hitting both the housewife and the industrial engineer. It needs the co-operation of politicians, conservationists, city planners and the ordinary citizen for solution. Let's look at some of the recent evidence of how the wat- erlinfi is tightening.

Besides New York, where the shortage is so critical people are asked to observe bathless and shave- less- days, northern New Jersey has the worst water crisis in its history. Direct causes of these shortages are lack of rainfall, combined with increased population and soaring industrial use of water. the snow loader did not have warning lights." It was driven by Albert Johnson. Henderson stated damages included a smashed trunk, rear fended, Jront fender, grill and radiator. Cost was unestimated, he added.

Files Claim Against City for Collision The city Saturday was notified of a claim for damages to a car owned by Max L. Henderson of 3536 West Broadway. The accident occurred Thursday when Henderson's car struck a city snow loader at Fourth street and Broadway. According to Henderson's letter to City Clerk Albert Peterson, Bloodmobile Will Visit Avoca Feb. 8 The Red Cross bloodmobile will make 'its second visit to Avoca Feb.

8. Gale, executive secretary of the Pottawattamie county chapter, reminded Avoca residents Saturday that 100 don- ars will be needed to keep the unit crew busy. Miss Ruth Frederick, field representative from the Omaha blood Mrs. Gale hospitals in the 40-county region are now using an average of 1,500 pints of blood a month. A public meeting to completely explain the it blood program and answer questions will be held in Avoca Monday, Mrs.

Gale said. Miss Frederick will attend the meeting. The bloodmobile will not be in Council Bluffs again until March 2. valley of central California, the Salt river valjey around Phoenix and the high plains reg ion of Texas. In these regions where normal rainfall is so slight that Irrigation is required for crops, the shortage is from too great drain on underground supplies.

In most cases the rem edy involves costly construction and results cannot be obtained for several years. Paulsen reports many othe. shortages in the country which are not generally known. -Among them ore some cities la the Chicago region within the defined by Aurora, Elgin and Jollet lit." he said. "Though they are next door to Lake Michigan, they have found It cheaper to get their water from wells, and now, with Increased populations, the wells are not adequate.

"Houston, Galveston and othe cities on the west side of the Gul of Mexico also depend on grounc water and there a mushrooming industry has made such heavy demands on it the supplies are no longer big enough. "Long Beach, and Mi ami, have had to enlarge their wells to keep up with city demands and have been troubled with salt water seepage. There are others." Water experts generally say the shortages do not mean we are running out of water. Not Evenly Distributed "There is plenty of water for everybody," says Paulsen. "The trouble is that it is not evenly distributed and in some places too heavy a drain has been made on supplies.

"Every community needs to get the facts about its water and then make long range plans. Any growing community which fails to do those things today is in danger of running short." The failure of ground water tables was demonstrated' at fantastic cost in the dust storms ot the 30's, but the educational value was lost because there was little agreement on their cause. The signs have been with us ever since. This winter in Michigan the state's elaborate test well system showed the ground wa- ter'level at an all-time low. The geological survey's winter report showed the a lakes level down three inches.

In Wisconsin, eight cities of the state's major river valley discuss a common water supply. And state geologists reported what hydrologists had known for years, that the pres- sure'level of artesian dropping and in some cases has lowered the point of free flow 400 feet since settlement days. Water experts for years have cited a crying need for an overall national survey of the nation's water resources. Some information is being collected, but there are great gaps. To cut consumption, say Industry can use the same water many times--for cooling, washing, boiler 'heating, Sewage water and excess Irrigation water can be Ground water supplies can be ascertained pumping begins.

Ground water reservoirs can be recharged through basins supplied by flood control reservoirs. All of these are being used in some parts of the country, but in many other possible places they are not.
