Is almost completed and Is be
ginning to yield up. valuable se
crets of that wild land.
This was . disclosed I today by
William Embry Wrathe director
of the Geological Survey, in a
report to Interior Secretary Ickes.
Few-fifths of the area was Vir
tually unmapped before the pro
ject, Wrather said. Must of it
had never been seen by human
eye.
i The new map. made with mo
dern photographic tri-metroeon
aerial methods, will show rivers
that have peen meandering to
ward the Arctic ocean for untold
menturies 1 without ever ' being
named, Wrather announced.
It will show topographical lea
tures of possible sites for airports,
to be used When that part of the
world asumes its inevitable im
portance as an' air route between
the United States and Moscow or
Asia.
It will throw light oa possible
rich mineral deposits hundreds of
miles from the present human
paths. j
The area: mapped is as big as
all of Newj England, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Delaware, Virginia, ' West
Virginia and Tenessee.
Army photographers in Flying
Fortresses . and Liberators took
about 25,000 photographs, which
if laid edge to edge would cov
er over a quarter of an acre. The
Geological Survey took over the
photograph! to make the map it
self.
The tri-rnetrogon method, em
ploys three; cameras witfi which
three simultaneous exposures are
made. The central camera points
straight down, the 1 other two
point right and left, so the re
spective horizons show In their
negatives. Thus by a single click
three negatives are obtained cov
ering an area from horizon to
horizon. I
With driven . thus warned of
danger to the lives of their age
ing cars, a Summer-proof .co-operative
movement to help avoid
auto breakdowns has just been
started here - by Mobil-gas car
service specialists.- ,
"Announced at the most criti
cal period In automotive trans
portation," says H. A." Simmons,
Salem area distributor for Gen
eral Petroleum Corp, the Summer-proof
plan is timely. , The
failure, right now, of some car
part might mean the laying up
of the machine for the duration.

The Samnter-preef, help

"Guided by ear-service specif!

Is to fellow his recommendations.
Good Mechanics Scarce
"Acute shortage, of expert re
pair men, in addition to car parts
. scarcity, constitutes a real warn
ing to drivers that Summer-proof
inspections and services should be
. rendered now. It just isn't safe
to neglect service until repairs are
necessary. ;
"Still another threat is the
shortage of station service ex
perts. This means that Mobil men,
already crowded with work, must
be given time to . go over cars
: from stem to stern.
"Hence, appointments for Sum-
mer-p roof help-save-your-car
services should be made well in
advance of need. Don't put it off,
It's better to be safe than sorry,

enterprise, civic activities and
home ownership on the part of
our employes," it was stated as

At the time of the purchase
the store ; was , confined , Jo the
street level of the building. Since
then it has expanded until now
the basement and three floors.
more than an acre of space is
necessary to care for the merchan

ny of whom have been with the
organiation ever since it was pur
chased by Miller's, has kept pace

The turn over in employes is
unusually low and initiative and
responsibility is encouraged by

Carelessness Is r
Failure Cause
Too many automobile failures
in this country are directly due to
carelessness, declares your Mo
bil gas dealer, and too many mo
torists are getting repair bills that
could have been avoided.
Managers of auto dealers ser
vice departments estimate that as
high as 67 per cent of car repairs
are due to failure of owners to
give them proper periodic main
tenance, regular inspection, regu
lar oil changes and lubrication.
Our semi-annual checkups (called
Summer-proofing in the spring),
help avoid conditions which often
lead to costly repairs or the actual
i layup of a car." . . 1 , t
