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

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.

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

Nearly 12,000 lives have been
lost in fires in the United States J
