    Salt River WATERSHED INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT DOCUMENT PREPARED BY: H. Ross Dames and Brian Todd Missouri Department of Conservation For additional information contact Fisheries Regional Supervisor Missouri Department of Conservation 2500 South Halliburton, Kirksville, MO 63501 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Salt River basin drains 2,914 square miles of northeastern Missouri and lies in the Dissected Till Plains physiographic region. The North Fork, South Fork, and lower Salt River sub-basins compose 32%, 42%, and 27% of the basin, respectively. Clarence Cannon Dam, located on the Salt River approximately 63 miles upstream from its confluence with the Mississippi River, forms the 18,600 acre Mark Twain Lake. There are 165 third-order and larger streams in the basin. The North Fork Salt River is the longest stream flowing about 119 miles. In the upper portion of the basin, where local relief is low, glacial till is overlain by loess deposits in most areas. In the valleys of the Middle and South fork sub-basins, streams have eroded to expose limestone bedrock and shales. In the central part of the basin around Mark Twain Lake, relief increases and exposed limestone and shales in the valley walls and streambeds are more prevalent. Till quickly shallows in the lower Salt River sub-basin as valleys become more abrupt with high relief. A relief of 440 feet is attained the lower end of the Salt River basin. Soils throughout most of the basin are typical of the Central Claypan Region, except in the extreme lower portion that is located in the Central Mississippi Valley Wooded Slopes region.

  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League
    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Academic Mccarthyism and New York University, 1952–53 10 Phillip Deery
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE FCWH 453233—25/2/2010—RANANDAN—361855 provided by Victoria University Eprints Repository Cold War History Vol. 00, No. 0, 2010, 1–24 5 ‘Running with the Hounds’: Academic McCarthyism and New York University, 1952–53 10 Phillip Deery 15 This paper is an anatomy of an inquisition. It examines the Cold War persecution of Edwin Berry Burgum, a university professor and literary theorist. Whilst his professional competence was consistently applauded, his academic career was abruptly destroyed. His ‘fitness to teach’ was determined by his political beliefs: he was a member of the American Communist Party. The paper 20 argues that New York University, an institution that embodied liberal values, collaborated with McCarthyism. Using previously overlooked or unavailable sources, it reveals cooperation between NYU’s executive officers and the FBI, HUAC and the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. Through its focus on one individual, the paper illuminates larger themes of the vulnerability of academic 25 freedom and the bureaucratic processes of political repression. At one o’clock on the afternoon of 13 October 1952, a telegram was delivered to Edwin Berry Burgum, literary critic, Associate Professor of English at New York University 30 (NYU), and founding editor of Science & Society. It permanently wrecked his life. The instructions given to Western Union were to ‘Drop If Not Home’, but Burgum was home, at his Upper West Side Manhattan apartment, on that fateful day. The telegram was from his Chancellor, Henry T. Heald, and it read: 35 I regard membership in the Communist Party as disqualifying a teacher for employment at New York University ..
