Watershed land used for conservation education workshop
Fifteen county school children aged eight to eleven join a conservation education workshop on the leased watershed land. Led by Russell Hyde they develop a nature trail and a pine tree plantation with County Forester George Gilmore while Elwood Stonesifer teaches wildlife conservation and Charles E. Ware shares soil practices. The Audubon Society proposed the program last fall with plans to convert the watershed into land uses favorable to conservation.

Gardiner cites duty tales on responsibility and discipline
Rear Admiral Gardiner recounts two stories to illustrate personal responsibility. A bank watchman remains at his post despite a foreman’s claim the doors cannot be locked, while a worker defies a no smoking rule and is fired for not accepting responsibility. The speech mentions the Bridge Tunnel project being discarded due to engineering and financial hurdles, and notes a fishing pier with a restaurant as another outcome.
