Congressman Paul Brown ad mirably presented the Clarks Hill mse in a thirty-minute speech in "he house of representatives Mon day, and it is quite possible that his address will prove the clincher in assuring favorable congression al action on the gigantic power, navigation and flood control project on Savannah river. Mr. Brown’s argument in favor of Clarks Hill was particularly timely because it came right after a set of favorable reports on the project had come from all of the governmental agencies assigned to the task cf investigating its feasibility. His remarks were made in an effort to have con gress write the project into the omnibus rivers and harbors bill, now awaiting action bv the house. The arguments in favor of the Clarks Hill project are so con vincing, and the evidence in its favor so preponderant, that it is difficult to see how congress could refuse to give the go-ahead signal for work on the development which will mean so much to this area of Georgia and South Caro lina. If we are nroperly informed in the subject, the Clarks Hill proj ect right now is in the most ad vantageous position that it has ever been in since it was con ceived several years ago. TO those not familiar with the ponderous workings of government when matters of this kind are involved, it might seem that the fight has been a long drawn out affair, but ah of this time and effort were needed to place the project in such an outstandingly favorable light that, wherf the time came, congress could hardly afford to turn it down. It has been in dorsed by every one of the agen cies which investigated it—the Federal Power commission, the War Department’s board of en gineers, Major General Julian L. Schley, chief of engineers; the district and division army en gineers. and the National Re sources committee. If the fulfillment cf the dream of Clarks HUl comes at an early date now. it will be a personal triumph for Mr. Lester S. Moody, secretary of the Augusta Chamber of Commerce, who has labored long and hard to win the funds for the project. Congressman Brown’s earnest efforts also will be resnonsible for getting work started on the huge development. If congress grants the funds for Clarks Hill, the long and hard campaign will have been well worth the time and effort devoted to it by those who led the fight. It will mean the dawning of a new era for this entire section. i oung’s H. D. Club MeeU Mrs. S. L. Long was hostess to he Young’s H. D. Club m Wed nesday afternoon, April 12th.
