Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Dam
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. Constructed between 1931 and 1936, during the Great Depression, it was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over 100 lives. In bills passed by Congress during its construction, it was referred to as the Hoover Dam, after President Herbert Hoover, but was named Boulder Dam by the Roosevelt administration. In 1947, the name Hoover Dam was restored by Congress.
Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water, and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium named Six Companies, Inc., which began construction in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques used were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead and is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction, with 7 million tourists a year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened.

85 years after its completion, Hoover dam is still considered an engineering marvel. It is named in honor of President Herbert Hoover, who played a crucial role in its creation.
For many years, residents of the American southwest sought to tame the unpredictable Colorado River. Disastrous floods during the early 1900’s led residents of the area to look to the federal government for aid, and experiments with irrigation on a limited scale had shown that this arid region could be transformed into fertile cropland, if only the river could be controlled. The greatest obstacle to the construction of such a dam was the allocation of water rights among the seven states comprising the Colorado River drainage basin. Meetings were held in 1918, 1919 and 1920, but the states could not reach a consensus.
Herbert Hoover had visited the Lower Colorado region in the years before World War I and was familiar with its problems and the potential for development. Upon becoming Secretary of Commerce in 1921, Hoover proposed the construction of a dam on the Colorado River. In addition to flood control and irrigation, it would provide a dependable supply of water for Los Angeles and Southern California. The project would be self-supporting, recovering its cost through the sale of hydroelectric power generated by the dam.
In 1921, the state legislatures of the Colorado River basin authorized commissioners to negotiate an interstate agreement. Congress authorized President Harding to appoint a representative for the federal government to serve as chair of the Colorado River Commission and on December 17, 1921, Harding appointed Hoover to that role.
When the commission assembled in Santa Fe in November 1922, the seven states still disagreed over the fair distribution of water. The upstream states feared that the downstream states, with their rapidly developing agricultural and power demands, would quickly preempt rights to the water by the “first in time, first in right” doctrine. Hoover suggested a compromise that the water be divided between the upper and lower basins without individual state quotas. The resulting Colorado River Compact was signed on November 24, 1922. It split the river basin into upper and lower halves with the states within each region deciding amongst themselves how the water would be allocated.
A series of bills calling for Federal funding to build the dam were introduced by Congressman Phil D. Swing and Senator Hiram W. Johnson between 1922 and 1928, all of which were rejected. The last Swing-Johnson bill, titled the Boulder Canyon Project Act, was largely written by Hoover and Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work. Congress finally agreed, and the bill was signed into law on December 21, 1928 by President Coolidge. The dream was about to become reality.
On June 25, 1929, less than four months after his inauguration, President Herbert Hoover signed a proclamation declaring the Colorado River Compact effective at last. Appropriations were approved and construction began in 1930. The dam was dedicated in 1935 and the hydroelectric generators went online in 1937. In 1947, Congress officially "restored" Hoover's name to the dam, after FDR's Secretary of the Interior tried to remove it. Hoover Dam was built for a cost of $49 million (approximately $1 billion adjusted for inflation). The power plant and generators cost an additional $71 million, more than the cost of the dam itself. The sale of electrical power generated by the dam paid back its construction cost, with interest, by 1987.
Today the Hoover Dam controls the flooding of the Colorado River, irrigates more than 1.5 million acres of land, and provides water to more than 16 million people. Lake Mead supports recreational activities and provides habitats to fish and wildlife. Power generated by the dam provides energy to power over 500,000 homes. The Hoover Compromise still governs how the water is shared.

Imagine my shock when I drove by and saw that the mural had just been repainted. It sure pops out! On top it there is a reference to historic Harmony Grove. For a close-up of the mural click here.
The town of Harmony Grove was established in 1810, at the crossroads from the mountain counties to the markets of Athens, Washington and Augusta. Farmers would come to and camp at Harmony Grove to trade their stock and produce for manufactured goods such as plows, shoes and clothing.
The Northeastern railroad line was built through Harmony Grove in 1876 and connected the Georgia Railroad (Athens) with the Air Line Railroad (Gainesville). With the arrival of the railroad in 1876, Harmony Grove became a commercial hub and flourishing cotton market, receiving and shipping cotton from the surrounding counties. In 1904, the town changed its name to Commerce which was only appropriate then for the commercial center. Iincidentally, Commerce today is home to one of the largest outlet centers in Georgia.

“Views of our flight over Ipswich in the Mazda airship in 1995 by Marian and Barry Jordan who are both members of The Ipswich Society.”
Back in mid May 1995 Marian and Barry Jordan had a very pleasant surprise. They had been customers of the local Mazda car dealer for some time and were regarded by them as being worthy customers.
As a reward for their custom they were selected to board the Mazda airship when it came to Ipswich on a leg of its trip round the country advertising the brand. With them came a competition winner from the area plus the pilot of the aircraft as they headed smoothly off to the north-west towards town.
The journey which took forty-five minutes, found them soaring gently to about five hundred feet over Nacton Road; cruise towards the town passing over Marion’s mother’s house in Clapgate Lane. Barry and Marian were able to continue filming and snapping away at the views before turning to fly over the town centre and the Cornhill. Although it’s not possible to see photographs of the whole trip, they flew over the north of the town towards Whitton over Whitehouse then turning towards the river following it down towards the wet dock. They flew over what was to become the Waterfront where it was possible to see the beginnings of the development there. Further down the river, Ostrich Creek was visible before sight of the glorious new Orwell Bridge came into sight. Finally, turning left they flew unhurriedly back to Ipswich airport.
On their descent they were greeted by a gang of lads - the thirteen -strong support team employed to grab the guy ropes and bring the “blimp” to a halt. Marian and Barry celebrated their trip on the May afternoon with a glass of bubbly along with the other passenger as the pilot prepared to head off on his tour round the country.
The Jordans tell us it was a smooth, exciting and pleasant journey with no hairy moments, in a space about the size of the interior of a large car, it was very noisy so they had to wear headphones but the view was splendid.
And they are still customers of Mazda Cars!
____________
According to research, 1995 was a good year for the Mazda Blimp. The ABC Lightship A60 N2022B “Mazda” was chartered for nine months, in which time it is toured 125 dealers being used to entertain clients and impress locals. It was recorded in June in Southend and filmed over Worcester in September. Mazda's marketing manager at the time said: 'When it's in an area it's a superb means of outgunning our rivals.'
There were some drawbacks, however, most notably the weather. At one point, one airship was grounded for three weeks because of low cloud and there was also the matter of its stately pace. 'When you move on to the next location it can take a long time to get there. 'You might spend two or three days flying over cows and sheep.' reported a spokesman at the time.

A northerly view of Princes St from its junction with Portman Road (left). The building on the right was constructed in the early 1960s as Shell Mex and BP House. St Clare House, part of the Greyfriars development is behind this building. On the left in the background, is the Guardian Royal (now Axa) building in Civic Drive.This Collection was donated by Dr Steeds.
n 1939 Dr Roger Steeds, general practitioner joined the three Staddon brothers who were in practice at 6 Silent Street. Just before the war, the building was threatened with demolition because of road widening. The practice moved to 18 Silent Street. It was said to be a purpose built building with three consulting rooms, dispensary, reception area and waiting room and caretaker’s flat. However, the building was wrecked by a bomb during the war but re-erected in 1946. After the war as each of the Staddon brothers retired, they were replaced in turn by Dr Roy Webb, Dr Sheila Hines and Dr Bunt Drabble. Dr Steeds retired In 1966.
