Thursday, January 22, 1942 SKIlTHg mm uperaiors,, ?.na ttiese must have at '.cast one year of high school. They will be urged to join the naval re reive, but will not be required to do so. Washington, D. C, Jan. 22. There Is prospect of a training ship being established either on Puget Sound or Columbia river by Federal Mari time commission to provide crews for the cargo boats which are com ing off the ways. Finding crews for the 1200 freight ers of the ugly duckling and C type boats is a problem being studied by the commission. For these vessels there will be required 51,600 officers and men. a number far exceedeing present available masters and sail ors. Each vessel will have 35 mem bers before the mast and eight offi cers, a total of 43,000 sailors and 9,600 officers. To get the men the maritime commission will appeal to youths between the ages of 18 and 22 years. Between the selective ser vice of the army, the CCC, NY A, the shipyards and aircraft factories and the navy, the maritime commission realizes that it is in for tough com petition. The commission now has five training ships, three steamers and two sailing vessels. It is the inten tion to increase this number to nine, with accommodations for 300 stu dents. Two of the new training ships will be of the ugly duckling type, equipped with machine shop. The course is for six months, dur ing which students are paid $21 a month plus "found;" not much com pared with what youngsters of the required age are drawing in defense industry. When graduated and as signed to ships students will be paid the higher rate which every sea man receives, plus insurance and bonus for venturing into war zones. Less attention will be paid to training the men for sail than for mechanical parts of the new fleet engines, hoists, machinery general ly. Only educational test required is for those who wish to become radio Want Ads WANTED hour. Good Heppner. Housework by the refs. P. O. Box 301, 46-47p.

When a delegation cf northwest lumbermen met with office of pro duction management to protest against the ceiling on dwellings at $"0!)0 among other things, they said that nails are now as scarce as fea thers on a frog. Even without the ceiling on the price of a house, a handicap to building is the scarcity of nails. OPM placed a top price on dwellings to conserve metals, such as plumbing materials, galvan ized and copper gutters and drains, hut overlooked that nails are es sential in any priced house. Steel mills which heretofore pro duced nails are turning their equip ment to national defense and this has caused the shortage of nails. The lumber men pointed out that Canada is haying no trouble on the nails issue and there are no priorities or allotments. No one has yet suggest ed a substitute for nails, although substitutes are suggested for hard ware. Congress will be requested to make an appropriation for injured air. raid wardens. No wardens have yet been injured, but to play safe congress is expected to provide for such a contingency. Wardens in clude volunteer firemen who ex tinguish incendiary bombs and those in demolition crews. It will amount to complete coverage for these war workers. The government has al ready announced war risk insurance where bombs demolish or damage dwellings, industrial plants or crops; applying the insurance to the Paci fic northwest and the canneries of Alaska. Probably next spring congress will receive a plan or development of phosphates submitted by Secretary of Interior Ickes. The secretary has already appointed a commission to make an -investigation and later this group will visit the northwest for a personal view. The tentative plan includes production of phosphates and their distribution to farmers. TVA has been manufacturing the soil-builder for several years and as there are projects on Columbia river larger than TVA, it is desired to turn them to this business .The oi e can be processed at Spokane or anywhere in the Grand Coulee or Bonneville area. Expense of the in vestigation is paid from appropria tions for the interior department, but as there is a large amount of da ta available on the northwest depos its the cost of the probe will be re duced. Suggestion comes from the west that selectees who were rejected by local draft boards because they were defective in some particular be as signed to guard public properties, such as reclamation dams, where they would not be subjected to the arduous training for combat troops. Cited are a long list of reclamation projects many now guarded by men hired by the reclamation bureau, but not by troopers. War depart ment officials contend that guard ing public works requires a physi cal condition equal to that demand ed in the army and that while a few selectees might be reconditioned to do guard duty, the army doesn't think much of the idea. WILLIS P. McCARTY PROMOTED University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan. 21. Willis P. McCarty of Heppner has been commissioned in the in fantry, according to an announce ment by Colonel R. M. Lyon, head of the department of military science and tactics at the University of Oregon.

Post-war planning in agriculture an important part of the wartime "ffon. even though intensive work n this field may be postponed some what, according to both federal and rtate agricultural officials at Ore Tn State college. In Oregon post-war planning is considered primarily the work of county land use and agricultural planning committees. Advance work is already being done in preparing to carry the planning effort to ev TV agricultural community, save Will iwi A. Schoenfeld. chairman of the state land use planning commit tee. The job of fighting and of produc ;t for the fighters can be done bet ter if we can look to the future with confidence that the hazards and mis eries of former post-war periods may be avoided, says Schoenfeld.
