A representative of the institute was staggered on a hot Wednesday afternoon in mid- July as the telephone voice of a war production board executive urgently made the request. "We're holding a meeting he In Washington a week from this coming Saturday," said the war agency man, "to establish new eteel specifications for (and here he named certain war products) i "We'd like to have your alloy steel committee present to that Mennonile Young People Retreat The young people of the four churches in Oregon of the gen eral conference of the MennO' nite church of North America will meet in Turner On the con ference grounds for their second annual retreat, beginning on Friday evening, August 14, and continuing until' Sunday eve ning, August 18. About 70 young people are expected to register for this retreat.

Odd Fellows in Picnic Sunday The Marlon county district convention picnic for Odd Fel lows and Rebekahs is to be held in the Stayton city park next Sunday. The committee in charge states that the picnic. scheduled for an earlier date but postponed, will be held Sunday. H. Robert Wakefield of Stayton is in charge of the program. Persons attending the picnic are to bring their own baskets of food. The committee will provide coffee, cream and ice cream. meeting a series of alloy steels which: 1, can be made entirely from steel scrap, with almost no additions of virgin alloying ele ments; and, 2, can be used in place of the steels now doing the job without any change in de sign of the parts. Can it be done?" Still flabbergasted, the insti tute man managed to say: "You're asking the steel Indus. try to develop an entirely new set of steels in 10 days. Well, the industry has licked some tough problems before; it can again!" The steel representative has tily phoned, one after the other, top-flight metallurgists in five prominent steel-producing com panies. The metallurgists were told the problem and given certain technical Information furnished by the WPB. , The necessary research work was parceled among them to avoid duplica tion of effort. Then the metallurgists went to work. They mobilized labo ratory staffs for round-the-clock effort. They marshaled their forces to devise formulas, make sample heats of steel and to test them for chemical com position, strength and harden ability. In the next 10 long days they consulted with each other by telephone, reported progress. or failure, and exchanged advice. And then came the day. The five metallurgists and the Am- erican iron and steel institute man met early that Saturday morning at the Union station in Washington. Over a breakfast table they consolidated into E report the results of their ex periments and recommendations, WPB officials, a few hours later, had before them full des criptions and characteristics of a brand new set of steels. The new steels have been of ficially approved for war use and are about to go into commercial production. The creations are' designated as national emer gency 9400 series and the al loying elements used generally are small amounts of silicon, chromium, nickel and molyb denum fortified by somewhat greater than normal amounts of manganese.
