...Franklin Roosevelt sent Congress a message which, he indicated, rounded out his program for 1937. It called for the creation of regional agencies similar to TVA, which would become one of seven dividing the whole U. S.: one for the Atlantic Seaboard, one for the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, one for the deep South (TVA), one for the Missouri Basin, one for the Arkansas Valley and Texas, one for the Columbia River Valley (already in formation), one for California and the Colorado River Basin. These would undertake national planning in their respective spheres, cope with flood control, soil erosion...
...have a fishing port here. It is not so very small, however. Our commercial fisheries rank second among the commercial fisheries of the Atlantic seaboard. And we have any number of deep-sea fishing boats for sport...
...medium in the world for moving freight. The Great Lakes waterway curves southeast 1,000 miles from the greatest sources of iron ore on the continent to the greatest U. S. steelmaking centres. It lies between the richest grainland of North America and the richest consumer population on any seaboard in the world. The tonnage of freight shipped and received at lake ports in 1929 surpassed that of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific ports of the U. S. combined. The gross tonnage of ships employed on the Great Lakes in 1929 was greater than that of the merchant fleet...
Another Krick boundary lies in the Atlantic Ocean off the Eastern Seaboard, separating warm Gulf Stream air from cold continental air. This boundary moved west until it lay some 200 miles inland, bringing warm weather to the coastal States. Quick thaws in this region contributed something to the Ohio floods. Another flood factor was the migration of the Rockies boundary into the Pacific Ocean. This allowed low-pressure centres to swing all the way down the western U. S. before moving east. These centres thus picked up moist tropical air around the Gulf of Mexico, then carried it northeast...
...Hanover, N. H. for the syth year, but Dartmouth's party is the foremost U. S. wintersports meeting. Last week Dartmouth was worried, for still holding was the balmy weather which had ruined half the winter for more than 70,000 ski addicts on the Eastern seaboard, forced cancellation of snow trains, hit the purses of hundreds of winter inn-owners throughout the White, Green, and Adirondack Mountains. Even the world snowshoe championships at Ottawa Jan. 30 had to be run on snowless ground. Dartmouth feared it would have to import snow for its ski-jumping. But oldsters could...
