CAMPBELL POST POLLS LEAVE
TAKING UNTIL FOURTEENTH
Going to Washington; Loos Not
Expoct Ever To Return Lore
Announcement by Stewart Campbell
that ho would not leave Palmer now
until April 14th came as an anti
climax as he had previously advised
residents of the Valley that he
v/ould leave yesterday,
The past week-end and the first of
this v/eek were a series of .ood-byes
as Campbell visited every farm in
the Valley to say farewell and saw
nearly every farmer. But on Wednes
day he found that it would bo impos
sible for him to get away until the
following week-end.
The Administrative Office of the
A.R.R.C. has been compiling informa
tion, which Campbell will use in his
report to Washington, where he plans
to go immediately.
He states that his plans for return
ing to Palmer are quite indefinite
and it is doubtful if he will return
as it looks at the present tine. He
says, "I have been associated with
the Project for so long that I very
much regret leaving. I have made
good friends and I hate leaving them,
I believe whole-heartedly that the
prospects for the ultimate success
of the Project are excellent. Cer
tainly there are a lot of obstacles
to be overcome but a good percentage
•of the farmers now here will succeed,
