given the organization by th
public, of which Marion coun;
ty contributed $2,3'00.
Of the entire amount contri
buted, according to the report,
one half was set aside for the
needs of the armed forces. The
Red -Cross is the organization
designated to-extend social wel
fare work on military posts and
as such is to be found in the
camps and posts the world over,
both in the United States and
abroad, wherever the fighting
forces go.
War Service Extended
This welfare service includes
hotels and clubs for servicemen
in foreign countries, medical so
cial workers for military hos
pitals both here and abroad,
blood plazma for the wounded,
enrollment of nurses for the
military, assistance with organ
ization of recreation for foreign
servicemen, and many other
services rendered at the request
of the military to meet individ
ual camp needs.'
Disaster preparedness against
war onslaught was cared for by
25 per cent of the entire amount.
Each person who contributed
25c to the war fund in 1941
made, possible protection this
past year against war disaster at
home. Present circumstances
made it necessary to increase
preparedness measures, Red
Cross disaster people point out.
Ten per cent of the $65,000,
000 has been allocated for civil
ian emergencies, such as floods,
fire, tornadoes and reconstruc
tion after the bombs fell in
Honolulu. Those who gave to
this fund in 1941 have aided
in giving food, shelter, cloth
ing, medical care and rehabili
tation for many hundred unfor
tunates in the past year.
Surplus to Be Used
Officials of Marion county
chapter point out that the local
chapter received 15 per cent rais
ed locally, as did all the 3,600
chapters of the national Red
Cross, for use in meeting local
war emergency needs, The
money spent in Marion county
chapter was for the most part
used in purchasing yarn to make
the knitted garments for service
men which the military is so ur
gently requesting.
Local chapter officials also
point out that of the entire $65,
000,000 raised as an emergency
war fund by the national Red
Cross, there is, according to the
national report, a substantial
amount left which will be used

Lesser Heroes
Of Navy Honored
Bremerton, Jan. 21. M") Two
of the lesser known heroes in
American naval history, Rear
Admiral Eugene H. C, Lcutze
and Lieut. William Halford,
were honored Wednesday with
the launching of destroyers
bearing their names at the Pu
get Sound navy yard.
Admiral Leutze, who was ap

U, S. S. Severn, was rammed by
Ihe Ironclad terror in Civil war
days. His granddaughter, Miss
Caroline Rowcliff, of Mills col
lege, Oakland, Calif., was at the
ceremony today as sponsor.
Miss Eunice F. Halford, 229
Greenbank avenue, Piedmont,
Calif., daughter of the late
Lieut. Halford, was sponsor for
the destroyer given the family's
name. As a coxswain on the
U. S. Saginaw, wrecked ' on a
South Pacific reef in 1871, he
was the sole survivor of five
volunteers who sought help from
Honolulu, 1500 miles away. He
reached the Hawaiian islands in
31 days.
Lieut. Phillips Goes
To Camp Roberts
Word has been received here
that Lieut. W. L. Phillips, Jr.,
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Phil
lips, 195 West LeFelle street,
has just, completed the officers'
maintenance course at the in
fantry school at Fort Benning,
Ga., and has been sent to Camp
Roberts, Calif. He is now on
his way to that camp. .
The officers' motor mainte
nance course at Fort Benning is
a 12-weck program designed to
produce qualified transport and
maintenance officers for infan
try regiments. The students go
to the- infantry school on de
tached service from their per
manent units, and they return
to those units upon completion
of the course.
The course is divided into
four-week groups known re
spectively as the engine, chas
sis, and operations groups. The
engine group places greatest
emphasis on carburetors and
automotive . electricity. The
chassis group is concerned with
frames, clutches, transmissions,
winches, springs, shackles, shock
absorbers, axles - and brakes.
The operations group deals with
all phases of field maintenance
with greatest stress on driver
maintenance, breaking in new
vehicles, and proper lubrication.

CONCEIVED by Port Commission as an
industrial center; but first made an airport.
From cat-tails to payrolls! Thit'i the dramatic record of Portland's Swan Island; And
it's story linked with PGE'i alert, foresighted construction of facilities to dtliim
tht piwtr.
Twenty years igo progressive-minded Port of Portland Commission laid
plani for developing Swan Island then a brush-covered, swampy eyesore into
an industrial center. Its location near tht center of Portland, with acccig to deep
water and rail transportation, made it a "natural" for a factory center,
But then the era of developing airports arrived,; and tht Port Commission
decided that Swan Island could best lervt Immediately as i hob of air transport. At
that time, the Willamette River's main. channel swung east of the island. The Port
deepened the west channel, making it the main artery, end need the river-bottom
materia! to build up the Island. '
PGE built a line that carried the first electric service to Swan Island. In succeed
ing years, PGE built larger and larger lines, and Installed the necessary transformer!
and other equipment 1
PRESENT: Builder of , largest commercial
ships on Pacific Coast.
When the Kaiser interests began planning the construction of a great shipyard an
Swan Island, PGE jumped into action and met every requirement ahead of schedule;
PGE delivered all of the power for building the Swan Island shipyard 1 1 1 and ii
now delivering all of the power for building giant tankers which have almost
double the capacity of the famous Liberty Ships, These are the largest commercial
hips built on the Pacific Coasti
Swan Island, and scores of other war Industries In this area, are tint reaping
the benefits of PGE's half-century of pioneering. For more than 50 years, PGE has
demonstrated Its faith in the future of this region 1 1 1 by developing five waterpower
plants, a great steam plant, and by building a network of lines throughout a
2900-square-mile territory, In the past four years, tha'farsighted PGE management
'has spent 4V4 million dollars to enlarge PGE's capacity for serving scores of vital
war industries and other Industries. Part of this huge expansion enables PGB
to deliver the many thousands of horsepower required 24 hours a day by the Swan
Island shipyard of the Raiser Compsny, Inb
11F
DELIVEniXfG 4 MILLION CO&SBPOUEB
FUTURE: An industrial center
served by PGE's lines.
After victory ti won,' perhaps Swan Island will continue to make ships. Or, perhaps
airplanes; Or any number of other products.
With commendable foresight, the Kaiser Interests have built this shipyard so
that it is quickly and easily convertible to manufacturing processes.
Whatever the plana after victory, tha facilities that PGE built up will help give
Swan Island industry a head start In serving post-war markets.
PGE's record of providing service ahead of schedule on Swan Island ii just
another example of how jrtt titlerprht ii miasiiring up In tht wat program;
Today PGE Is delivering a quarter-million horsepower to wat industries and
other users throughout a 2300-sqtiare-mile area stretching from St, Helens to Salemi
W are delivering i7 more power than three years ego, And we are providing
this power at rates that are among the very lowest In all America actually lower
than the rates of many taxpayer-subsidized utilities, The average family pays less
for electricity In Portland than in any other city of Pnrtlsnd'l sim on the PacirU
Coast And, compared with tj4 tha average PGE residential customer gets ii
snore electricity per dollar!
