St Lawrence Seaway Move Looms In House Defense Plan
Raymond S. Springer reports on a visit by Paul Wolf of Morris town Indiana and on Life Magazine’s “Typical American Canner” reference. The piece details a proposed $277 million St Lawrence seaway project to add 2,200,000 horsepower hydroelectric power and a 27 foot channel from the Great Lakes to the St Lawrence River, aiming to aid shipyards and national defense. It explains the plan seeks simple majority approval in Congress to authorize a 15 year program tied to power and shipbuilding, amid opposition over timing and cost. It also notes possible congressional recesses and other defense funding proposals including large tax hikes and expanding the Reconstruction Finance Corp. powers.

Labor Shortage on Farms Hits Indiana Agriculture
The Indiana Farm Bureau reports a defense program driven labor shortage. Farm boys join the army or move to defense plants, leaving fewer workers for dairy farms and general cultivation. Milk production and milking machine sales rise as electricity expands on farms to cover tasks formerly done by labor. If extended, more land may return to grass in 1942.
