PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1941. PLANNED TtJ SAVE LI Lessening of Restrictions Needed To Avert Shut downs And Job Losses. Salem, Ore., Nov. 13. (Pi Lessening of priority restrictions on materials used in non-defense building will be sought to avert major closures in Oregon's mill and logging operations, Gov. Charles A. Spiague said here yesterday. L. C, Stoll, state employment service director, said 11.000 Ore gon sawmill and logging work ers would be thrown out of work by February if the pres ent trend continued. He told lumber operators and the Ore gon Economic council that 3,000 Portland construction and 9,000 In heavy industries workers would be Jobless. Stoll said certain priorities had drastically curtailed non defense building with the result that many mills already had made sharp reduction in their operations. Governor Sprague said he had asked Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Washington to Join In a protest to the OPM. James Bryant, San Francisco, regional social security board director and labor supply board chairman, said he would ask the OPM to send two men to Oregon to study the situation.

Thomas, mill worker doing trapping on the side, entered a plea of guilty to trapping furbearing animals out of season and was assessed $23 and costs in Justice court today. He was given 30 days to pay the fine, after paying the $4.90 costs. The state game de partment confiscated 13 musk- rat pelts, and returned traps and gun to Thomas. The fur trapping season does not open until November 15. and muskrats are bringing the best price in several years. Quentin Matthews and Rny mond Wooley, of the Eagle Point district, are serving out SZ3 and costs fines in the county Jail, upon pleading guilty to trapping out of season. They were given an opportunity to pay on the Installment plan, but decided afterwards to languish in the bastile at $2 per day. Reports on a recent Inquiry aent out to former navy men who were still following the skilled trades they had learned in the navy showed the average salary of these workers to be 185 per month.

Crossing the bridge one at a time, the tanks caused only a slight sagging and officers said the tests showed that two could safely cross at a time. The pontoons were brought to the lake on huge army prime movers (trucks) and lifted Into the water by cranes. An out board motor was then attached to facilitate movement. Officers said the pontoons can carry 100 soldiers each and, without reinforcing, the bridge can carry 25 tons. Reinforced, a load of 45 to 50 tons was be lieved possible.
