Aa JUDD, Coniily Clerk ' Salem, Oregon -; Air Raid Editor's Note: "Clip and keep thete lessons appearing dally la The States man," Is the suggestion at civilian defense authorities of Marlon county, under whose direction thia series has keen prepared. MAGNESIUM OR ELEKTRON BOMB The magnesium or Elektron bomb, most commonly used by air raiders against home and small types of buildings, weighs about two pounds and is the magnesium shell or cylinder with a thermit core. It is two inches in diameter and about 16 inches long including the' tail piece and iron nose piece which guides the bomb with the nose directly to the earth. The thermit core inside the magne sium shell is-for the purpose of igniting the magnesium. The thermit Is fired with a high explosive, usually black powder, which Is started by per cussion cap when the bomb strikes a solid object. Once ignited the thermit will burn at approximately 4500 de grees F. and for a period of 55 to 60 seconds. When ignited, the magnesium will burn from 10 to 20 minutes at approximately 3000 derrees F. KeeD in mind always that magnesium reacts violently when water is aoDhed In lets or streams. This causes an explos ive effect, scattering the fire and endangering the fire fighter. If water is applied in a spray or mist, this explosive effect will not occur, and the added oxygen from such spray or mist will ac celerate the burning of the mag nesium and reduce the period of burning of 10 to 20 minutes down to 3 to 6 minutes. The greatest element of suc cess with handling magnesium bombs is timely detection and attention in whatever method used. The ordinary commercial fire extinguisher has no advantage over water and such extinguisher of the tetrachloride type when applied to the high heats of mag nesium creates a fatal gas poi soning; hence, if such an extin guisher is used, it should be by those who can accurately distin guish its type. Otherwise, you" would be safer to use none at all. Tomorrow: Equipment for fighting the Elektron bomb. Cannery Workers' Union Meets at Labor Temple 8:09 P. M. every Friday.

USo SmiM MTION As now proposed it will allow each person over 60 more sugar than the ration we took in stride back in 1918 The Philippine islands a year tgo supplic'd about 15 of America's sugar. This supply is cut off. The other sugar areas in the Pacific are under, martial law. A shortage of field labor and bladc outs which require sugar-factory shutdowns mean we may not get the normal quantity from these areas this year. That is the bad side on sugar. There's a better side, too. Cuba has been giving us about a quarter of all our sugar.

This year we are getting more.' sugar from Cuba and more from Puerto Rico. Even more important, the remaining quarter of our sugar today comes right from American farms. This is sugar that never seera ship. Grown on western farms, processed in western plants, it flows uninterrupted from U.S. fields to U.S. sugar bowls. It's the West's own sugar - beet sugar. Pure beet sugar is the full equal in quality of any sugar you have ever used. It is just as white. Just as fine in grain. Just as sweet to taste. No chemical test, no taste-test or cooking tesf, can 'detect the slightest 'difference between good beei sugar and any other good sugar. Sugar has to be rationeH now for a number of reasons including these two : 2 We must provide our allies with sugar . a vital war necessity. 2 Thousands of tons of sugar may haye to be distilled into industrial alcohol to make, among other things, explosive. To waste sugar is to waste explosives. To use mord sugar than we need is to let down the marching men ' of the democracies. So buy and eat only the sugar . you need from week to week, f Remember, we Americans are.nev.er likely to go without sugar. . ,And the biggest reason we'll never go without, - sugar is this sugar of America.Tbe sugar that 'd&esn'f " need a shig.
