Summer cuts demand on Red Cross funds in Caldwell
The Caldwell Red Cross reports a sharp drop in requests for aid as harvest season reduces need for relief. Mrs. H. E. Robinson says families with able bodied members can sustain themselves, with only occasional persuasion needed to mobilize work. Junior Red Cross may be renamed within the Caldwell chapter as plans evolve. The treasury holds about 2000 dollars, deemed sufficient for the year, while district conference discussions may yield minor changes in chapter operations.

Stamping Boise district plan approves irrigation switch
W. G. Swendsen, state reclamation commissioner, approved petitions to change Boise project land governance from water users' association to an irrigation district. Objections will be heard July 1 by county commissioners, with protests likely to take a week or ten days. If approved, election could be held by September 1 after a month more. Supporters cite the $600,000 Black Canyon appropriation as key to advancing an irrigation district, arguing funds could be used for drainage if a district had been formed earlier.
