Since earliesT Times we have builT dams To hold ThaT precious subsfance known as waTer wiThin our conTrol.

Such a facT we have exemplified in The building of ThaT monsfrous pro- iecT, Boulder Dam. In I928 a bill was passed in Congress aufhorizing iTs consTrucTion. EnThusiasTic engineers drew up plans and calculaTions in a shorT Time, and work was begun immediafely on The masTer proiecT. Workmen, Thrilled wiTh The aspecT of such a monumenf, labored Tirelessly, and zealously. for days. weeks and monfhs ThaT lengfhened inTo years. AT The end of each day someThing. no maTTer how insignificanT, was finished To bring iT closer To compleTion. l-learTs of millions of counfrymen. as well as Those of The workmen, were consTanTly hoping and praying for iTs suc- cess,' ThaT waTer mighT combine wiTh sunshine To reap naTure's golden harvesf. The eyes of The world were follow- ing each small deTail. Today, sTanding before us. nearing compleTion. a masTerpiece of beauTy. arT, engineering, and workmanship. a sfupendous sTrucTure of five hundred and fiffy feeT-Boulder Dam is one of The lasfing monumenfs of The progress of This glorious naTion.
