Page Six Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, June 5, 1941 NfpilL is over; they intend continuing in plants of the northwest, for fully operation to put Alcoa out of bus-j half of all aluminum produced will 1 come from Bonneville-Grand Coulee power. Over-advertised TV A, where much was expected, has almost no power and is depending on steam plants. This is a result of water shortage. This is so serious that the S.S. Normandie (French ship seized by the coast guard) may be taken to Mobile and used to provide pow er either that or an obsolete battleship. Washington, D. C, June 5. With in a few months a great aluminum plant will be built in the Columbia valley with money furnished by RFC and operated by the government. The enterprise will be larger than the Alcoa plant at Vancouver or the Reynolds Metals Co. at Longview. No site has been selected, and it may be placed anywhere Grand I Coulee, Puget sound, or right at the site of Bonneville. This will be the first time that the government has ever directly invaded the aluminum industry,' but having made up its mind it is planning to compete in a big way. Nor has it the purpose of certain power-minded officials to close the plant when the emergency More than 50 percent of all the aluminum manufactured in the months to come will go into air planes, with another large percent age going to the navy as the fighting ships are equipped to shield them against bomb divers. A smaller am ount will go to the steel industry for alloying and deoxidizing purposes., What aluminum goes to commercial channels you can put in your eye; that is out, and vacuum cleaners, pots, pans, refrigerator trays will be made of something else. Thousands of massive bombers have been ordered in recent weeks. It is difficult to keep track of the airships, so many statements have been issued, but it is possible to check through the pilots. Army air corps has been turning out 12,000 a year and this will be upped to 30,000 beginning next month. There is a bomber or fighting plane for every pilot. That gives an idea of uie army air torce. ay next year you can stand outside any time of 1he day and , see them droning over the house; they will be as numerous as that, and constantly increasing in numbers, regardless of the bombers flying in England. Back of all these, of course, will be the aluminum Mrs. Carrie Vaughn arrived Satur day from Portland where she has been for some time and will remain for the summer.

ISOM, District Clerk Approved by Budget Committee May 18, J 941. Signed : J. 0. TURNER, Secretary, Budget Committee C. W. BARLOW, Chairman, Board of Directors W. C. KOSEWALL, Chairman, Budget Committee Feeding the British is one of the major tasks assumed by the admin istration under the' lend-lease bill. Observers from Britain say that the people have become accustomed' to being bombed and accept it as a matter of course, although many are killed, but the food question is an other matter. It is calculated at the present rate, unless food supplies arrive earlier, January will see the British hungry, and a hungry man cannot fight. While the administra tion is trying to poke the production of planes, tanks and munitions into greater activity another government agency is busy purchasing food and sending it abroad. Trainloads have been sent to Atlantic ports and ship ped overseas. In this field farmers of the north west are benefitting to some extent. The government put in a call for berries, black, logan and young, but learned that there is no surplus; the canneries require every pound to fill their own orders for domestic and overseas supplies. Demand for prunes for the British is also increasing. Growers of tomatoes have been asked by the government to increase their acreage 10 percent, for canned tomatoes have vitamins needed for American troops and British civil ians. Dried beans are being snapped up for the army and overseas. Under , parity payments approved by the president Canadians can pay four cents a bushel and dump their wheat on the American market. To prevent this destruction of the home market the president, by proclama tion, has limited the amount of wheat importations. Canada can ship in 785,000 bushels, or all but 5,000 of the total amount. With par ity payments of 85 cents, and other payments, the wheat price is around 97 cents. One of the troubles of farmers is labor. Available labor has been drafted or gone to the cities to work in plants with government orders. The selective service has ordered local boards to be careful about drafting farm help, but nothing can be done about labor going to cities where wages are higher. While the army is reaching out for pilot material, the NYA is open ing up vocational training schools in every state, in every large city, tea ching boys and men the use of tools; the first principles of shipbuilding, airplane making, iron work. The government is spending $150,000,000 to train men to work on ships, in airplane factories, in plants with or ders for tractors, tanks and anti aircraft guns, and to build up a res ervoir of mechanics for the ground crews needed at all airports, of which a half dozen are already es tablished in Oregon and Washing ton, with more to follow. It is be ing proposed that CCC and NYA be merged, as they are competing with each other for the same group of boys. Addition of the CCC, how ever, is not favored in the north' west. , NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION OF JOHN DAY IRRIGATION DIS TRICT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that in pursuance to a petition signed by j a majority of the electors of the John Day Irrigation District pre sented and filed with the Board of Directors of said district, a special election will be held in said district on the 30th day of June, 1941,v be tween the hours of eight (8) o'clock in the forenoon and five (5) o'clock in the afternoon of said day in each of the following election precincts in said district, at the residence of Neil Doherty, in precinct No. One (1); at the Roy E.

Box 142 Heppner, Oregon Accidents Decrease In Face of Auto Rise Improvement in Oregon's traffic accident situation for the first four months of 1941 compared to the same period in 1940 is shown by the traffic death rate, showing the num ber of persons killed in relation to the exposure to accidents, according to word from the secretary of state's office today. The death rate so rar this year is 10.6 persons killed per one hun dred million miles of travel, com pared to a rate of 12 for the corres ponding period last year. The decrease in the death rate in dicates the improvement in driving and walking practices of Oregon cit izens because in spite of a strong increase in the use of motor vehi cles, the fatality ratio dropped, it was said. Motor vehicle use increas ed nearly 17 percent during the first four months of this year. Phelps Funeral Home Ambulance Service Trained Lady Assistant Phone 1332 Heppner, Ore. Jos. J.
