POWERS, Editor and Publisher JEANEXTE POWERS, Advertising Manager Telephone 253 Lowville. N Y. Editorial Comment... HERE'S A CHAIXANGE FOR AUL OF US The following editorial was published last week in the Lowville Academy student newspaper, \The Noon Whistle.'' It was written by Bruce Geer. We think it contains a lot of solid questions for the people of our town — or any town. When we read this editorial we couldn't help but think that in those high school minds, cluttered With the things e think trival now that we can't do them, are some deep thoughts for all of us. At least they had that effect on us. Do you see the challange in them? LEADERSHIP Modern man with his specialized society is becoming too much akin to the machines to which he is now chained. \Where are our great leaders in statesmanship, economics, and religion? In what way are we preparing our leaders of the future? The average man lires a narrow life. He has learned his special job or trade and his whole interest and intell- ect ife focused on this as his opportunity to advance to better life. We all see and hear the same radio and tele- vision programs, the same news, the same movies and basically all receive a standardized type of education. Where is the opportunity for that extra something that makes a truly great leader? Some say in the home. Surely, to- the present generation, the home serves anything but that purpose. Our homes are nearly void of close relationships between the parents and the son or daughter. Others say the church develops leaders* Today's theo- logical teachings however, have also been perfected and standardized to the point where there is little opening for individual or open-minded conceptions of our beliefs. The sehool, although it is accomplishing wonders in lifting the whole of the nation to a higher level, does not seem to be able to produce leaders as well as it develops followers. Whereas the originator, the individualist, the worldly thinker? Why must our governments slip to the point where they weaken their leaders by constitutional amend- ments, endless committees and red tape instead'of de- vloping trustworthy and capable men to guide the destiny of our culture and democracy? B.G Levi Gaylord g A public meeting at r which local residents presented their water- right problems was held last week in ithe Lewis County soil conservation district office in the Niagara Mohawk Power build- ing. Among the questions raised at the meeting which pertain to Lewis County, were: 1. Does, an owner have a right to divert water which originates on his property if it takes the form of a course of water (stream)? 2. Can a person dam up, water which originates on his property for his own use? 3. If two persons* own -a dam and\ sell water rights, do the person originally buying the water rights have the right to use the water if they stop paying for those rights? 4. If two men made an agree- ment whereby they had equal rights to a spring, does one man have the right to tap a vain lead- ing to the spring and withdraw- ing more than 50 per cent of the water? Levi P. M. Gaylord, secretary of the Black River regulating dis- trict, who attended, discussed flood control Black River problems m the valley. Panther Mountain dam, he said, would cut down 13 per cent of the flow of water at Carthage and 23 per cent of the flow at Lyons Falls. A to- tal of 13,000 acres of bottom land in the valley would be benifitted, he said. The fanners at the meeting, however, felt that the gates in the dam at Carthage should be opened during periods of high water and PORT CONGREGATIONALISTS TO HEAR WALTER OLIVER Mr. Walter Oliver, former pol- itician, prominent in civic circles m New Jersey and Maryland will speak at 7.30 on Sunday evening March 7th in the First Congrega- tional church of Port Leyden.
