The chief Of the air service. Wai
Department, today informed Senator
William j. Harris that Americas, Ca,
is being abandoned as an air scrv-
ice station because of retrenchmen;
necessarily adopted. The decision
came in the course of a communi.
cation to Senator Harris, discussing
the policy of placing Americus OF

Senator Harris said he would urge

SEVERAL HUNDRED
ARE PUT TO WORK

If there is any question as to
whether Bogalusa is getting back to
''normalcy" again all that you have
to do is to realize that during the
past two weeks over 800 men have
been put to work at the various in
dustries of the city. The reopening
of the pulp mill at the plant of the
Bogalusa Paper Co., made it possible
for over 100 to get enjoyment. Liv-
ing costs have steady gone down in
Bogalusa and it is estimated that pro-
visions and necessities Of life have
reduced 800 in Bogalusa during the
past six months. All that remains
for Bogalusa to be in her usual pros
porous condition is the improvement
in the paper and lumber trades in
most of the large cities. Strikes have
done much toward keeping the lum-
Der prices down.
