Geological Survey Tells of Resources
The Kansas Geological Survey, in the first three months of 1942, has prepared three reports especially significant to national defense. One has been published and the other two are now being printed.
The greatly increased activity of the state Geological Survey and the unusual number of demands made upon it by various individuals, industries, and state and federal agencies indicates
that in times of national emergencies state geological surveys are of utmost importance.
The two reports now being printed are: "Ground-Water Supplies Available in Kansas for National Defense," by S. W. Lohman and "Kansas Mineral Resources for National Defense," by J. Jewett and W. H. Schoewe. The third report, "Ground-Water Supplies Available for National Defense Industries in Southcentral Kansas," by Stanley W. Lohman has just been published and is now ready for distribution. It is bulletin 41, part 1. Copies of this bulletin may be secured at the survey office in Haworth hall.
The report published deals with southcentral Kansas, including the Arkansas river valley between Hutchinson and Wichita, the Arkansas valley between Wichita and the Oklahoma state line, and the McPherson area. According to the report, "As much as 5,000,000 gallons daily of good water could be pumped continuously from the productive sands and gravels occupying most of the McPherson filled valley, and larger supplies could be pumped in favorable areas for a period of a few years. Supplies of from 10,000,000 to more than 20,000,-000 gallons daily are available from wells along the southwestern part of the Arkansas valley between Hutchinson and Wichita, and somewhat smaller supplies are available in this valley for a period of a few years." Also in this area an abundance of cheap fuel is available from the several large oil and gas fields and numerous railroads and highways provide adequate transportation facilities.
The report contains five figures, two of which are cross-section drawings showing the nature and character of the valleys and their materials based upon test drilling and surface exposures. One of the figures is a map of southcentral Kansas showing areas in which large supplies of ground-water may be obtained.
The report was prepared by the Kansas Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey with the cooperation of the division of sanitation of the Kansas state board of health, and the division of water resources of the Kansas state board of agriculture.
Historian Puts Dewey In"I Told You So"
Los Angeles, Calif. — (UP) — Dr. Louis Knott Koontz, editor of the Pacific Historical Review, revealed that Admiral Dewey foresaw the Japanese capture of Manila 40 years ago. He quotes from Dewey's writings, as follows:
"I look forward some 40 or 50 years and foresee a Japanese naval squadron entering this harbor, as I have just done, and demanding surrender of Manila and the Philippines, with the plan of making these islands part of the great Pacific Japanese empire of the future."
Six States Entered In Speech Contest
Contestants from six states will participate in the Southwest regional speech contest at the University of Kansas City, April 13 and 14. States to be represented are Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and North and South Texas. The contestants were selected by each college or university to represent it in the district conference.
The Kansas district conference awards were presented to Bob Plumb, college junior, and Merrill Peterson, college junior, who were to represent Kansas at the regional contest, Plumb, however, was declared ineligible and in his place will be John Adams of Bethany college, Lindsborg.
The winner of the regional contest will compete in the national finals. The six national finalists are to be conducted on a tour of other American republics if exigencies of foreign travel permit.
These groups of contests are sponsored by the office of the coordinator of inter-American affairs.
Man Finds Way To Give A Day To War Work
Amarillo, Texas — (UP) — He asked that his name not be used.
A man past middle age, he is the owner and operator of a small truck farm in Pleasant Valley community near here. He is making a modest living and managing to meet the payments on his farm. That, and no more.
But he wanted to do something personally to help the war effort. He talked it over with H. L. Reitman, a feed and lumber company manager. He asked for a one-day-a-week job, the wages to be invested in defense stamps and bonds, and these to be given to some war widow or war orphan.
