under one marketing agency the White House statement said "the transmission network now under construction by the Bonne vile power administration will carry the low-cost power from both developments throughout the Pacific Northwest.
 'The present emergency mak- es even more pressing the need for coordinating the power facil- ities of the two projects and fol marketing the power in the re- zion.
 'The present national defense providing "a single agency fo1 emergency makes evident the fact that the many strategic ano critical mineral reserves found in the Pacific Northwest are . matter of national interest. Ar abundance of low-cost electric power available in the Columbis River region will accelerate the supply of necessary minerals fol national defense, because electri- city is an important factor in the processing of many of these min- erals. It will also provide power for war industries in this re- gion."
 Grand Coulee would begin tc produce power in 1941, officials said. Bonneville is now in op. eration with commitments of 106 $50 kilowatts to industries and public power agencies. Officials said that about 3OO,OOO kilowatts would be available from Bonne. vile on the transmission net work within 12 months.
 Since taking charge at Bonne. vile, MT. Raver has executed contracts for the sale of govern. ment power to the Aluminium Company of America, the Sierrs Iron Company, the Portland (Ore) General Electric Company and adjacent cities, towns, nun. icipalities and public utility dis tricts.

 Vitirnin A is found in yellow fruits and vegetables -apricots, peaches, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.
 Vitimin A has been called the anti-infection vitimin. It can be stored in the liver to be used for the eyes and for resistance to in lection, increasing the life span. Found in all fruits and vegetabl- es.
 Vitimin D is found in foods of a high fat content subject to sunshine. The action of the suns rays upon the human skin pro- duces Vitimin D.
 Vitimin B is found in most vegetables and in all whole grains, as is Vitimin E.

PROPER FOOD COMBINATIONS
By Benjamin Gaylord -Hauser,
 Food Scientist

Build vitality when the sun shines. Summer time has become known as the healthiest time of the year. There are fewer colds and less sickness. In general, summer weather permits more out -of-door activity which means more exercise and more fresh air as well as more deep breathing. Summer gives us the availability ~of garden and fresh vegetables and fruits at lower prices.
 Building reserves during the summer months and higher tenn perature callsf or more perspira- tion. Summer time is body clean ing time for many people. It sim plifies the problem of reducing the carbohydrate and fat calories cuts down on rich foods and the acid forming foods. Vitimin and mineral rich foods properly nour ish every body cell to eliminate the accumulated poisons. One can make summer time, a pick up time for vitality, and reserve resistance means better health the year around.

Chamber Holds
 Noon Luncheon

The regular board meeting of the Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce met at the Nev ada Grill with President B. J. McConaghy presiding.
 MT. A. L. Watkins of Taylor, Alaska was a guest of the Cham Der at the meeting of the board.
 After the disposition of the routine business, MT. Watkins brought to the attention of the Chamber the urgent necessity of building some sort of housing at the Serpentine Hot Springs. The landing field which is now about completed will be available to be used and unless there is some sort of habitation the benefits of the medicinal waters cannot be usd to advantage.
 After general discussion, on motion, the Chamber decided to take up the subject of housing at the Serpentine Hot Springs as a project and President McCon- aghy appointed MT. H. G. Miller as Chairman with power to ap- point his own committee to take up the matter in the very near future and to have a report at the next meeting.
 The discussion suggested sever al features. One was to open a subscription list and ask all Kou garokers to subscribe towards a fund for the purpose and another suggestion was made that cor poration Ibe organized for the purpose of taking care and fur nishing the facilities for the de- velopment of the benefits to be made availbale to all the people of the Second Division.
 It was also stated that several attempts have been made to in- terest government agencies to as- sist in this but so far have been unsuccessful and it is believed that it would be impossible to ob tain help from government sourc es and if we wish to have such a place established it must be done by private or public effort. Undoubtedly the committee will have a report at the next meet ing with further recommends tions and immediate action will be taken to bring the matter to a successful conclusion.
