Shull Is Speaker At Kiwanis Meet E. L. Shull of Columbia was the speaker at the Kiwanis Club meet ing in Newberry —on Thursday, February 7th. He is leader of the Soil Conservation Service water shed planning party. He was introduced by T. B. •“Dad” Amis, chairman of the Ag riculture and Conservation Com mittee of the club. Miss Joyce Pruitt of Newberry College brought delightful enter tainment to the group by singing '“The American Song of the Soil” and other numbers. She was ac companied at the piano by Mickey Ward also of Newberry College. Mr. Shull discussed the Bush River Watershed project. He pointed out that watershed work is not new but the recent enact ment of Public Law 566 and 1018 has given new impetus to this work. “Watershed protection \ and flood prevention supplements the going program of soil conserva tion as carried out through soil conservation districts with the beld of the Soil Conservation Service,” he said. “The conservation idea is still good. The watershed idea just backs it up” was stressed by him. He pointed out pertinent points of information about the project as follows: “Present annual dam ages in the Bush River Watershed from flooding and sediment is $8,300. If proposed watershed plan is applied these annual dam ages would be reduced to $4,469. If all benefits are considered from this project including restoration to former use and land enhance ment the total annual benefits may well amount to more than $40,000.” “The next move is up to the supervisors of the Newberry Soil Conservation District and the lo cal people. The next step is to obtain easements to permit the flood retarding structures to be built,” he said. Guests present were Jack Tuck er, Columbia, L. C. McCraw, An derson, J .B. Earle, Chester, and William Hunter and J. F. Hawk ins, Newberry. UDC Chapter Hears Life Of Lanier Mrs. J. L.
