Last week the $140,000,000 Florida Ship Canal, which southern Floridians claim will make the lower half of that State an arid waste, was back in the Washington news when it was discovered that President Roosevelt is apparently determined to push this project despite the House's refusal to appropriate money for it (TIME, Feb. 17). The President started this Atlantic-to-Gulf waterway with five million relief dollars, allotted $200,000 more when that ran out.

Church, not the swankest in town but the largest and richest of the denomination in Bergen County, got its white-thatched black-browed Dr. Ball in 1931 by the usual Methodist method: accepting the man assigned by the local conference. With increasing apprehension Dr. Ball's congregation listened to Sunday sermons...
