ELLIOTT MERCANTILE HAS
I MODERN CLEANING MILL
About 100 men who will comprise
the forest guard fo-ice of the Mt.
Hood national forest started Wedf
nesday night at the Bear Springs for
est camp on the Wapinitia highway
about 25 miles from Government
camp to attend a three day training
course which started Thuisday morn
ing. The training is in general charge
o f assistant foiest supervisor Foster
Steele while junior forester Max
Becker is in actual charge o f the
training progiam while veteran for
est guard Dave W alker will be in ac
tual charge o f the camp looking after
subsistence and transportation re-
quiiements.
The guards are given training in
the spotting o f fires from lookouts
and in smoke chasing which means
being able to find small fires after
they have once been located by tri
angulation methods. Training is also
given in actual fire suppression me
thods and a special course is given to
men who are likely to be called upon
to act as foremen, sector bosses,
straw bosses, etc, in the event of
large fires. An important part o f thi
instructions deal with public contacts
in whieh the various fire laws a r i
explained and instructions given in
how to apply them.
Experienced guards are used to a
large extent as instructors under the
guidance o f the various district ran
gers.
For the benefit o f inexperienced
men there are demonstrations o f var
ious fire fighting equipment such a:;
tanker trucks, pumps, etc.
In addition to the Tegular fire
guard force which will be employed
this season there will be 5 stanby
fire suppression crews comprising a
total o f 45 men will be engaged and
assigned to stretegic locations on the
west side o f the forest. When not en
gaged in actual fire suppression du
ties these crews will work on various
projects such as road construction,
falling o f snags along roads, clean7
up o f dead material along roads, etc.
In case o f need their services will
be available fo r fires on other fo r
est units.
In endeavoring to prevent the ec-
currence o f man-caused fires 8 addi
tional so-called “ prevention guards”
will be employed who will maintain a
careful check on industrial opera
tions and on tiavelers in the forest.

SYNTHETIC MAY HAVE PLACE
IN RUBBER PROGRAM
As an important contribution to-
waid fo rtify n g the nation’s needs,
the Goodyear T ire & Rubber com
pany has made increases in its facil-q
ities fo r manufacturing its synethetio
rubber,,, chemigum, according to Bob
Cooke, local Goodyear dealer.
For three and a half years the
company developed and produced Its
own type o f chemical rubber in its
laboratories and production began
last fall.
First new plant for production o f
synthetic rubber by any rubber com
pany was completed in M ay near the
Goodyear tire plants in Akron. This
company was one o f the four named
by the Federal defense plan corpora
tion to build factories costing $1,-
250.000 each which w ill have initial
production o f 2,500 tons yearly, la
ter capable o f being stepped up b.
10.000 tons output.
Chemigum resulted from the ex
ploration o f more than 300 d,:d F
compounds involving thousau.
tests. Cooperating in these ex,
ments which now have produce*1-'

rubber ,
chemists, engineers and rubber

Tested in a rigorous pro.e*{i
ducted by Goodyear since

Important among it
is its increased tensile siren,,
sistance to ageing, abrasion a
and utilization o f the same i
