Malheur county’s lettuce and beet crops work kept the service busy from April to November. The Athena pea harvest occupied the Pendleton office in June and July.

With the exception of calling a few hundred families from California's central valley or berry picking, most of the harvest emergencies were met with Oregon workers. ----- +------ Visit at Hospital— Mr and Mrs. Walter Thompson, representing Nyssa post No. 79 of the American Legion and its auxil iary. visited at the veterans hospital in Boise Sunday.

And thousands of skilled technicians, trained machin ists, are required to keep the highly mechanized navy in fighting trim and ready for action. The machinist section is one of the three parts of group III schools (others: metalworker and wood worker). A class "A” basic school, it furnishes a great many of the men who leave San Diego as quali- ified strikers, who ultimately receive machinist rating. An average of 60 men a month graduate from the machine shop's 16-week course, which is divided into four terms of four weeks each. Most of the work is practical. But one day a week is for studying such academic subjects as blueprint read ing, ratio and proportion, mensura tion and general shop mathematics. New students find qualified in structors. most of them chief ma chinists' mates, ready to help them.
