Clarence Boorman, owner 'and manager, former lumber grader with Kesterson Lumber com pany, started his pumice indus try early this soring, with Frank SchOcnthalcr. also a for mer Kesterson employee, as his right hand man. - The pumice is like coarse gravel when it arrives on flat- cars from - mass mountain, Calif. It is crushed to powder, mixed 7 to 1 parts with cement called the "71" mix and lime is added for whiteness. Mixing is the most important part of the brick-making opera tion, Schoenthaler said, it being necessary to keep the ingredi ents "meaty" but not too wet. An electric mixer is used to mix the batch thoroughly and water is added gradually. At the right consistency the mixture is turned Into four hollow-center, double-tirick molds at a time) Potsdam Meet Sets Up Big Five Council By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 P) The Big Three, In a 6000-word report on the Potsdam meeting, announced today creation of Big Five council to write the peace treaties of Europe. Indicating understanding of common problems in Germany, and took a slap at Franco-Spain. But made only indirect mention of the war against Japan. ' It was' the first formal stetement giving actual details of matters discussed at Potsdam, where the strictest censorship wss enforced from the start of the meeting on July 17, until it termination ' last nlqht. i The report on the historial conference of a new Big Three Harry S. Truman, instead of Franklin D. Roosevelt; Prime Minister Clement Attlce instead of Winston Churchill, and the same leader of soviet Russia, ueneralisslmo Joseph Stalin was issued as President Truman sped homeward - aboard the cruiser Augusta.. . Not only was there only an oblique reference to the war against Japan which had been the subject of a separate declaration by Mr. Truman, Churchill and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek,' but the only reference to military matters in the whole report was in these final two lines: "During the conference there were meetings between the chiefs of staifs of the three governments of military mat ters of common interest." , Understanding The communique indicated a high degree of understanding had been reached by the chiefs of the three greatest powers oc cupying Germany Russia, Brit ain and the United States. The problems covered ranged from a statement on political and . economic . principles, to some broad understandings on the question of reparations. ' The Big Three agreed that in political matters "so . far as is practicable - there shall be uniformity of treatment of the German population - throughout Germany." - In economic questions, they said "Germany shall be treated as a single economic unit" in all matters of industry, farm ing, trade, money, transport and communications, -and repara tions... German -administrative' machinery-is. to -be. used-to the fullest, extent, in- carrjringou.t tnese . . odj eenves, - ine communi que declared, so that "it tnouia be brought home to the Ger man people that the responsi bility for the administration of such controls and any break down in these controls will rest with themselves. ' German Economy ' Further, the Big Three deter mined that German economy shall be rid of cartels, trusts and other . monopolistic arrange ments." All these things are to be done under the four power control council,; which included France. The five power council of for eign ministers includes those of ficials of Britain, Russia, ' China, France and the United States.

One customer purchased 5000 bricks to construct a potato cel lar. The bricks are light weight, and with the hollow air space inside, keep the interior of a building cool in summer and keep the heat in when the weath er is cold outside. A new home of the pumice brick is under construction now on S. 6th. Elmer Cooper is also em ployed at the plant and young W. F. Cato, who cuts the ply wood patterns. Schoenthaler's young son, Stanley, helps out before going on his Herald and News paper route each day. The four men turn two flatcars of pumice each week into white pumice building brick. Colored brick can be made by adding the desired hue instead of lime. , E LAVAL TO TESTIFY AT PETAIN TRIAL PARIS, Aug. 2 (JP) Pierre Laval, whose name has flitted frequently through 10 days of testimony, will be called as si witness tomorrow in the treason trial of Marshal Pe tain, the court announced today.

The general, who- described himself as an intimate friend of the marshal, said Franco had disclosed the demand to Petain along with the information that' he had refused.

Japan . was red in flames spurting from cornered rem nants of her navy. By July 28, after carrier planes had repeat edly roamed Japan's Inland sea. Admiral Halsey could say every major ship of Nippon's navy he had started out to get had been knocked out. j . Japan started the war with an. estimated 10 battleships, eight carriers, 46 cruisers and 125 de stroyers. It then was building eight battleships, some believed to have been converted to air craft carriers before completion; also two carriers, eight heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers, 42 de stroyers and 25 destroyer-escorts. The Inland sea foroys by carrier- and also land-based, planes put the finishing touches on the hiding Nipponese navy. ', Another kind of fire for Ja pan blazed in July from the five and 16-lnch guns of American and British warships which bombarded seven cities in the enemy homeland, wrecking mills, factories and rail facili ties. One of tho major sources of "red July" In Japan was oil. Re fineries were among prime tar gets of the Superforts, carrier planes and land-bnsed bombers and fighters from Iwo and Oki nawa. The allies had still another weapon the submarine. It was letting harder to find target for the huge torpedoes of the under sea raiders.
