Fredericksburg man completes 2800 hour lake project plan
Alfred Hennig, longtime Fredericksburg resident, bought about 126 acres along Barrons Creek in 1942 and by 1946 developed a plan to dam the creek and create a lake. His design featured three spillways to control floods that once washed out bridges in 1935 and prompted later concrete replacements.

Local Pioneer Builds Self funded Flood Control Lake
In 1946 Mr. Hennig began damming a creek bed to drain flood waters and create a lake. He dug a 15 foot deep cut, added spillways and a dam, with no government funds. The lake reaches 28 feet deep at the dam base and is expected to improve leakage issues over several years.

Potatoes and Price Controls Stir Washington Critique
The piece traces bungled surplus potato handling from Dakotas to Europe, then to drying and selling for export, and finally to price controls under Truman. It condemns taxpayers bearing losses, inflation fears, and political motives behind controls while urging voters to resist extending price controls beyond June 30, 1952. The column cites OPS actions and a Canadian surplus contrast, ending with local social notes.
