Bob Pack wood (R-Ore.), who is rank ing minority member of the Revenue Sharing Subcom mittee of the Senate Finance Committee, said April 3 he will be carrying the admini stration's revenue sharing hill. Hearing will be held on this and other revenue sharing bills later this month Sen. Packwood told members of the Salem Chamber of Com merce at a luncheon meeting at the Black Angus Restau rant in Salem. "Revenue sharing has been one of Ihe most popular and efficient programs Congress ha come up with in several years." Packwood said. He pointed out that it takes only 8!i employee in the Office of Revenue Sharing to run the entire program which admini ster fund to Sfl.WM units of itnvernmenl "Under revenue sharing, local governments have the freedom to determine their own priorities and needs without the interference of Washington bureaucrats," the Oregon Senator said. "The success of the first years of revenue sharing has proven that local governments are better equipped to spend their money where it is most needed," he said. Since Ihe revenue sharing program was started. Oregon stale and local governments have received more than $202 million dollars. "The biggest use of funds in Oregon has been for police and fire protection, transportation and environmental protection all prounims that communities would Ik- hard pressed to finance through properly taxes." Packwood said Sourdough experts wanted Everyone wants to know about baking sourdough . . . and extension is beseiged with requests from people wanting to learn the techniques. The best way !o learn about sourdough bakery is from someone who keeps an active pot bubbling, ready for use at any time, and someone who can pass m those handy little hints of do's and don't from practical experience. Local sourdough bakers, who would be willing to share their expertise with others are asked to call Birdine Tullis, extension service, Heppner, phone 676 9642. If local "experts" can be found, a public workshop on sourdough baking will be offered. Men who bake with sourdough are especially urg ed to share their baking tips.

It took 7,000 years to develop the process we it used for the past 80) ears. And now, Oregon has set a new environmental standard for aluminum production. , ITHOL'GH ITS DISCOVERY as a metal did not come until tme 7 000 vcars later, aluminum nevertheless was one of the first earth metals put to use by man. Primitive man used aluminous clays to form cooking utensils, foreshadowing by thousands of years one of the earliest uses of the metal itself. But despite this early beginning, after nearly 70 centuries of use, all Ihe skills of man had not succeeded in separating 'the metal of clay' from its age-old bondage to the other elements of the earth. It couldn't be separated by chemicals, beaten out with hammers, or driven out by fire, as could most of the other known metals. The first breakthrough "Finally, in 1854. Saint-Claire Deville discovered a chemical process which could produce near ly pure aluminum, and commercial plants began operating in France. But at a cost of $545 per pound, the metal was so expensive that it was considered by some, including Napoleon, to be more precious than gold or silver. Its cost obvi ously prohibited its widespread use. Charles Martin Hall '"Then by coincidence, in 1886 Charles Martin Hall, working in his backyard Ohio woodshed and Paul L. T. Heoult, working in a borrowed Parisian laboratory, dis covered relatively simple elec trolytic process which freed the world's most plentiful and versatile structural element for millions of uses. The Hall-IMroult process, isuru vm-t PautLT.Hfroult combined wiih years of sophisti cated technological improvements has brought the cost per pound down to approximately 39 cents. Practical Production Begins "The Hall-Heroult discovery was simply that if an electrical charge is applied to alumina (Aluminum oxidcl dissolved in cnolite. inside a furnace lined with carbon, the result is pure molten alu minum, which when cooled can be shaped into any form desired. "Thisisexactl) the same basic process used today in all aluminum plants. But. through the past SO years a number of significant improve ments have been made. First, the process has been cleaned up. The earliest plants put into production discharged tons of waste material into the air and water. Develop ments in emission control have solved most of these problems. Sec ond, the original plants were ex ceedingly high users of electrical energy. Since 1939 according to the latest information released by the Western Aluminum Producers, the amount of electrical energy required to prodjee a pound of aluminum has dropped lo an av erage of 8 kilowatt hours from 12. Alumax Many Slept Beyond ' When we began planning to build our aluminum plant in Ore gon, one of the first things we learned was that this state had higher en vironmental standards for new industry than any aluminum plant had ever had to meet anywhere. Working with governmental of ficials and the Depart ment of Environmental Quality, we have liter ally designed a plant for Oregon. Before we're finished we will have spent 300 mil lion dollars developing and building this plant which will be a show case for the entire in dustry. Furthermore, by meeting Oregon's requirements, we have developed a plant f I i 7 ;-; which will set worldwide environ mental standards for aluminum production. "By using the latest technology, we will beat the industrial average ol 8 kilowatt hours of electrical energy per pound. W e w ill use less. 'The fluorides emitted in the production process have been of concern because the older plants discharged many pounds per ton of ntcmcrn IuuwmI I m I lr x SCHEMATIC Of MOTOStO Alumax Aluminum Reduction Plant Motrin A1UHINUM. CAST CUT f OS SHIPMENT aluminum produced. Our plant will meet Oregon's standards of one pound per ton, the lowest in the industry. We might add that all aluminum plants are very aware of this problem and are continuing to improve their emission standards to the degree they can, within the limitations of their own facilities. " The discharge of water has also been of concern in aluminum pro duction. Alumax w ill discharge no process water into the Columbia or any other waterway. "We're proud that we've been able to prove Oregon's standards were not impossible to meet. We've taken the leadership in providing the most technologically advanced environmental control s stems in the world, and in doing so have set the standard for our entire indus try. We think that's good." ( Jim Howarth Alumax Project Director Hermiston, Oregon This message has been published in the public interest.
