Radar Warning System Started Washington, Dec. 5 nil The air force today gave the signal for starling construction on the first part of a vast radar warn ing system to help protect the United States and Alaska. It announced that $50,000,000 which had been appropriated for other projects will be used to speed completion of the first phase of the aircraft warning network. Of the total $31,200,000 will be used for installations in Alaska; the rest for facilities In the United States. The "necessary construction to permit installation of early warn ing and control electronic equip ment can now move forward," the air force announcement said. An air force announcement said the sites in the radar network "In most cases" already have been selected and surveyed both In Alaska and this country. Rights of entry, projierty leases and con struction plans have also been completed for most of the installations. Congress last session authoriz ed the spending of $85,500,000 to build the warning network. Congress put a S50.000.000 spending limit on the project for this fiscal year. It stipulated that the money must be taken from funds already appropriated for other air force activities. The air force did not say what specific projects had been can celled or reduced to provide the $50,000,000. Mrs. Thompson (Continued from Page 1) five properly holdings In Bend through the years, including, at one tune a large part of Dea dlines addition. Mrs. Ihompxon rebuilt the recently-sold building In I'M). Downstairs space is occu pied by the Photo Arts studio and Photo Art camera shop. Upstairs space includes Mrs. Thompson's apartment and offices of Dr. John M. McCarthy. Mrs. Thompson formerly own ed the building at 1020-10.'i2 Wall street, which she sold four years ago to Richard W. Brandis. It houses Brandis Drug store and Clly Cleaners. History Recalled When the Thompsons came to liend to go into the furniture busi ness, their first location was on Wall street where the Erickson grocery store now stands. Later they were the first tenants in the Bean building (bow housing the Skyline Steak house), and In 1914, moved to the new Mutzig building on Oregon avenue east of the first National bank building. In l'JIG they built the building which Mrs. Thompson has operated since her husband's death. In 1017, they sold their furni ture business to Bend Furniture company, continuing in the music business, handling pianos, all kinds of band and orchestra In struments, phonographs, sheet music and musical supplies. Radios were Just beginning to make their appearance, Mrs. Thompson reminisced, when they sold their business In the spring of r.izJ to Corson Music company, of The Dalles. ' Saw Bend Grow Mrs. Thompson, who watched Bend grow from a village of 500 persons, was on hand for many of the city's important "firsts," in cluding installation of electric lights, the coming of the rail road, and the establishment of the two major pine sawmills. She has been a prominent figure in com munity life and active in early- day civic affairs. As a member of the first library board, she pio neered in efforts to obtain hous ing for the community's first, book collections, appearing as spokesman before meetings of the city council and the county court. For seven years she was president of the cemetery board, effecting Improvements in the city cemetery. In w'.; td war II, Mrs. Thomp son estaollshed a record for Red Cross knitting, working almost on a round-the-clock basis. When she had completed 17,000 hours of knitting, she received a govern ment citation for being the out standing Red Cross knitter in the area. Since then, she put in some 3,000 hours more of ' volunteer service. Helped Post Signs When Bend's streets were nam ed and labeled, preliminary to the Inauguration of residential mall delivery, Mrs. Thompson accom panied the late Robert B. Gould, then city engineer, to post the signs. Ihe streets were named al phabetically from the mills. Streets through the central part of the city were designated as avenues, and named lor states, except for thoroughfares which were already well known as through streets. East of the rail road, north and south streets were named for famous people; west of the river, short streets leading from the river were des ignated as "roads." "Drives" were on the east side. The street-nam ing project was completed with the assistance of the women's auxiliary to the Commercial club, in which Mrs. Thompson was ac tlce. Mrs. Thompson's daughter, Mrs. Hill, is a staff writer for-The Oregonian. The Thompsons' son, Hugh, who died in - 1931, was prominent in Bend as an archi tect, building a number of the city's landmarks. His last work was the high school building. He had also built part of Kenwood school, the second addition to the Pilot Butte inn, and numerous other buildings, including Young school on Butler road, the Sisters school gymnasium, and the Red mond and Burns hotels. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, new own ers of the Thompson building, have visited in Bend on numerous occasions, and have been planning to come here to make their home.

They have purchased the Seaton Smith residence at 100 Drake road, and will take possession in the spring, when the Smiths' new home is completed. Bird Expert Entertains Bend Kiwanis Members Importance of birds, Including those especially designated as predators, in maintaining the bal ance of nature was stressed this noon by Nephl Combs, La Grande, when he spoke here this noon at the weekly KiwanU club lunch eon meeting at the Pine Tavern. The program was In charge of A. w. Nelson. Combs, whose lecture was Illus trated by colored slides and punc tuated by bird calls which -be has learned in pursuing his hobby ot ornithology, told of the serious infestation of crickets which has followed wholesale destruction of crows along the Snake river. "It takes 280,000 crickets to raise one nest of crows", he commented; "figure that one out". He noted also that two-thirds of the quail's diet is composed of cutworms, snails and Insects, that waterfowl suffering from disease, often con tagious; are the easiest to capture and consequently the first prey of hawks and eagles and so, "these birds keep down disease, hold epidemics in check". Magpies Defended Even the magpies, he pointed out, do great service in devouring sheep ticks, picking the lice from pigs and eating the warbles that effect cattle. An estimated 390 tons of weev ils are eaten annually In Oregon by the killdeer; another 430 tons by the meadow lark. The camp robbers and the swallows feed largely on Insects, the latter spe cies including in its diet the de structive spruce budworm. Wax wings and grosbeaks plant seeds. "Without birds", Combs told the Kiwanians, these tables would have been bare. Each kind has its use, each helps to carry out the balance of nature for man's bene fit, but so heedless are we that in the time since the white man net foot on America, 113 variet'e of wild life have become extinct." The chrome on the family car can be cleaned with a good house hold scouring powder. Nearly 12,000 lives have been lost in fires in the United States J ttiis year.
