Packvood introduces
revenue sharing bill
SALEM Sen. 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.

NO. 2 IN A SERIES: Questions about the compatibility of Alumax with Oregon's liability
Wiy are we glad
Oregon "happened"
to the aluminum
industry?
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

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."
