DREW'S MANSTORE V. . , ,. . 739 Main '., Complete with stoves, a sink, two closets, an ice box, full length mirror and practically all the other conveniences of home, the trailer houses at the federal housing, project on Shasta way are - proving to be successful housing units. - At least there have been no complaints from tenants of the 24 trailers so far rented, according to C. A. Hay- den,, local housing manager. . The trailers, very compact. well-equipped and quite roomy, can be shut off into two rooms for privacy.' They have consid erable cupboard and drawer space, and sleeping accommoda tions for tour. They are heated with oil stoves for heat and most ly gas stoves for cooking. Fuel coupons are - obtainable in the management office at the proj ect. . , , There is one large utility unit for the use of trailer tenants. This is equipped with wash tubs, hot and cold running water and iron ing boards. Clothes lines have been set up outside with board walks running beneath them. Two large trailers provide bath and sanitary facilities. All 54 trailers are wired, for electricity and garbage disposal service is provided for tenants. Each housing unit rents for S6 a week which includes everything except heating and cooking fuel expense. To be eligible for occupancy of the trailers, someone in the family must be engaged in quali fied defense work, such as the lumber industry, transportation service, construction work, etc., and the family must also not have any other suitable living quarters. To make application lor a trailer the would-be tenant should secure - an application blank at the project or at the chamber of commerce, the blank to be signed by the tenant's em ployer.. ' . '" The chamber of commerce this week is placing information concerning the housing program in the hands of employers whose help is eligible for tenancy of the trailers. Well on the way to completion are the FPH A-apartment house structures under construction near the trailer park. When this project is finished, there-will be 10 one-bedroom apartments. 20 two-bedroom units, and 10 three- bedroom apartments. It is ex pected now that five of the apart ments will be finished by the middle of this month. Painted a light . green, the apartment units are almost fin ished on the outside and work is starting on the inside jobs. When completed, the apartments will be entirely furnished. Most of the furniture is now stored here in warehouses ready to be moved in as soon as the apartments are done. To be eligible to live in these units, families must have the same qualifications as for the trailer houses, with the persons now living in trailer nouses nav ing first choice of apartments. Perseid Meteors Flash Way Across Fall Skies By J. HUGH PRUETT Pacific Director,- American Meteor ; Society Despite the .noise of bursting pumas ana me lerriiyuig Illumi nations. Of war, not all the speed ing lights of night are intent on cruelly destroying eartn's crea tures. Each year, with fall, watchers -of the sky are cheered by the: noiseless, merry flights of tne .rerseia meteors across . the blue of the August sky. - ; In some countries these me teors are known as the "tears of Saint Lawrence. Yellow in col- ory .tney often trace long arcs across the sky, sometimes leav ing trails of light that remain visible for several seconds. Appear in Julv Althoueh the'Perseids actual ly begin to appear late in July, yet not until about August 10 is the display very noticeable. The maximum numbers usually appear- on' the nights beginning with the evenings of the 10th, nth, and 12th. But even on these nights' the term . "shower" is misleading, for seldom can one person count more than 60 or 70 in an hour even under the most favorable conditions. These meteors travel in the nr. bit of Tuttle's comet anri arr lilrn. ly : disintegration products from that comet. The Perseids seem to be quite evenly distributed around the entire orbit, which is so large that a little over 100 years are required for each in dividual meteor to make the round-trip. : Destroyed The earth touches tho Ppi-coM orbit' once, a year. Then many of these dark bits of matter dash into the earth's atmosphere and, heated by friction, are destroyed in a "blaze of glory" and are then lost forever to the meteor stream, ... This might be likened ta t 10 ton truck constantly traveling a long circular road which at one place intersects a very busy, cross-country highway that is alive with tiny rolling hoops, A few of the small objects would be wrecked by the larger one, but most of. them would fly past never to encounter it aeain.. ..

TO UNITED STATES AN AUSTRALIAN PORT, Aug. 5 W5) More than 300 Aus tralian brides will soon be mov ing into the American homes of . their husbands, now busy fighting the Japanese in the Southwest Pacific. . And .78 of those American homes will welcome for the first time a tiny grandson or granddaughter -who became a citizen of the United States at birth because, of the father's citizenship. Three years of proper legal procedure will re sult in the mother becoming an American, too. Many of the children of these international marriages have been born since the father moved on north as Gen. Doug las MacArthur's troops swept the enemy frpm. New Guinea. Most of the marriages result ed from romances kindled dur ing the early days of the war. Portland Man Hurt In Train Collision '.
