Defense Transportation
Here For Consultation.

the available equipment and
parts to meet transportation
needs, he stated that equipment
now on the road must last for
the duration of the war, and
urged the utmost cooperation in
the conservation program.
He said the tire stock and
crude rubber outlook was very
black, and explained that one
of the ODT orders directed the
elimination of circuitous routes
in order to reduce tire mileage.
PUC Part Told
Russell Pratt of the Oregon
Public Utilities commission ex
plained the PUC's responsibility
in the program and the need
for conservation of rubber and
equipment.
One of the main speakers of
the evening was Tom . Shea,
manager of the Oregon Motor
Transport association, who point
ed out the reasons for closer
cooperation among all groups,
industries and businesses in
carrying out the conservation
program. He told of the need
of group planning and cited the
accomplishments and objectives
of the association.
I n d u s t r y's responsibilities.

PICKERS NEEDED
Pendleton, Ore., July 16. UP)
Umatilla county's acute labor
shortage became more serious
today as a call for 500 tomato
pickers in the Milton-Freewater
district was issued by federal
employment officials. A 40
per cent increase in acreage
over last year has boosted the
need for additional workers.
The United States is the sec
ond largest wool-growing coun
try in the world.
The cost of producing auto
matic guns has been reduced
40 per cent in the last two
years.

LIKES KISS SCENE
By Ernest Foster
...V. P. Staff Correspondent
Hollywood U.R) Jack Ben
ny smacked his lips. His eyes
had that cat-that-atethe-canary
look.
"You know." he said, "this
movie work isn't so bad, after
all."
Benny had just finished a 60
minute kissing session with Ann
Sheridan for a scene in Warner
Bros- "George Washington Slept
Here." The kissing scene won't,
of course, last anywhere near
60 minutes on the screen, but
including rehearsal time, Benny
and Miss Sheridan spent about
an hour in each other's arms.
He had prepared for the
work-out by questioning Ann as
to her performance in amatory
technique.
"Should I," he asked, "use
the Flynn approach and sweep
you off your feet with the rough
gallantry of a swashbuckler?
Or maybe you'd rather I'd be
tender and irresistible, with a
Gaelic flavor to my embraces,
like Charles Boyer?
Wants Bonny Approach
"On the other hand, there's
the eager-youth technique, em
ployed most successfully by the
younger leading men. Or there's
the wistful style of Tyrone Pow
er or the woody, outdoor style
of John Wayne. Just what kind
do you prefer. Miss Sheridan?
"Well, as far as I'm concern
ed." the actress answered.
"since you are doing it. you may
as well be original and use the
Benny approach, whaever that
is."

the valuable advice of Charles
Coburn, who as a veteran actor
believes he has witnessed more
stage and screen kisses than
anybody in the business, Benny
made love to Miss Sheridan.
Was Worth It
"Just think of all the young
men and old ones, too who
would give their right front au
to tire to be in my shoes for this
scene," Benny commented.
Look at me, the phooie boy
making love to the oomph girl."
Afterward, questioned as to
what she thought best described
the Benny kiss technique, Miss
Sheridan hesitated a moment,
thn said:
'Well, I'd say it was the kind
of composite kiss you might get
from Groucho Marx, Fred Al
len, the Ritz Brothers and Skin-
nay Ennis."
As for Benny, a slightly wor
ried expression crept into his
face as he muttered:
"I don't know what Mary
will say, but it was worth it."
Mason, Mich. (U.R) Two years
ago Drs. Wilhelmina rrances
Dunning and Maynie Rose Cur
tis collaborated on an article en
titled "Transplantable- Lympho
Sarcomata of the Mesenteris
Lymph Nodes of Rats" for the
American Journal of Cancer.
Not a very inviting introduc
tion to the professors who. are
spending all their spare time
fighting one of the medical pro
fession's most baffling enemies
but it helps show how far
they're willing to go.
Miss Dunning, an instructor
in pathology at Wayne univer
sity in Detroit, and Miss Curtis
maintain a plain, little-publicized
farmhouse six miles south
east of here. That is, it looks
plain but inside is one of the
best equipped cancer labora
tories in the state.
Rasoarch Abandoned
There the two former faculty
workers from Columbia univer
sity in New York work hours
on end. Tomes of scientific
works and notes on their own
work line the book shelves, and
the air-conditioned basement
holds cages for 1,200 rata of all
descriptions.
Most of the women s work in
cancer study has been done at
Columbia Institute for Cancer
Research, where Miss Curtis
spent 24 years and Miss Dun
ning 11. However, they were
forced to give up their study
there when the Crocker Insti
tute of Cancer Research, which
sponsored their work, was dis
solved.
Miss Dunning and Miss Cur
tis then decided they would
transfer their laboratory and
equipment, lock, stock and rat
rages to the pioneer homestead
that was Miss Curtis' birth
place. They had the centuries
old house renovated with air
conditioning, asbestos siding and
steel roofing.
Aid Project
Both Miss Dunning and Miss
Curtis have Ph.D. degrees; Miss
Dunning received her degree at
Columbia in 1928 and Miss Cur
tis at the University of Michi
gan in 1013. Miss Curtis
served from 1908 to 1917 as as
sistant biologist at the Maine
experimental station before be
ginning her work at Columbia.
The women carry on their
work largely with cooperation
of Wayne university officials
and by means of financial aid
given by interested private citi
zens. So far they have uncovered
nothing sensational about the
disease they have made their
life study. But they figun
and they're probably right
that they have as much of a
chance as anyone else of stum
bling on a solution to the cancer
enigma.

Although concrete pouring has

Reclamation. Work will con
tinue for some weeks on in
stallation and painting of metal
work, backfill and clean-up
operations. Another several
months will be required for
drilling of grout holes in the
dam's foundation.
The first bucket of concrete
was poured at the structure
July 29, 1940. During August,
1941, operations reached their
peak when 228,769 cubic yards
were placed.
The dam is located about 20
miles from Fresno. It is a

has four river outlets, four out

and two in the Madera canal.
