in developing a process that allow

him material that could be studied
chemically and physically to de-
termine its chemical composition.

RAINBOW SKYWAYS PLANE TALK

Flying Instructor Frank Whal- ey reports that he has twelve students receiving flight instruc- tion at present and several more are expected to start in the near future. A number of the students are about ready to make their first flight alone and the atmo- sphere around the airport is about like that of a nest of young robins ready to try their wings for the first time.
 There seems to be consider able interest amongst the fair sex in learning the ways of the air as evidenced by the fact that five eff the fourteen potential pilots are women, Miss Margaret Lee, Mrs. Edna Fix, Mrs. Verda Davis, Mrs. Neva Whaley and Miss Jeanne Hilchey. The follow ing men are trying to keep up with the women: Ed Snyder, Tony Johansen, Vim. White, Kevin Walsh, Harry Lewis, Char les Lewis, Sidney Rood, Fred Wade and Jim Holland. Mrs. Ed na Fix is receiving her instruc- ton at Bunker Hil. and Jim Holland at Coffee Creek.
 Pilot Whaley reports that sev- eral sight seeing trips were made from Rainbow Mines, Monday evening to see big brown bear that was about twelve mile from camp. The bear was eating reindeer and whenever the plane came close to him, he would rear up on his hind legs and start claWing the air as though defy irg anybody to try and take his dinner away from him. Over 40 dead deer were counted within radius of 5 miles of the bear, but it is believed that wolves had accounted for most of them. Whaley states that hundreds of dead reindeer are scattered thru out the Kuzitrin Valley and ac- cording to the Igloo reindeer herders, that is where the wolves were doing to most damage the past winter.
 Pilot Whaley is in Nome on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each week and the balance of the week is spent at Rainbow Mines on the Noxapaga River about 90 miles north of Nome.

KINY INCREASES BROADCAST POWER

The Federal Communications Commission in Washington, DC. has granted KINY, Juneau, per mission to increase its power out put to 5000 watts, making the Juneau's station the most power ful broadcasting station in AL aska.
 Broadcasting regulations allow six months for the completion of the necessary construction but KINY Manager Walter L. Read, predicted that the work will be finished long before the time limit is reached.
 The boost in power authorized by the EGG will give KINY five times it's present output. KINY is now the only broadcaster oper- ating on a full time schedule in Alaska.

F. M. Lanter, from the Wash lngton, D. C., office of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, ar rived in Fairbanks aboard the Lodestar from Seattle recently.
 The CAA official is on an in- spection of Uncle Sam's farthest north area affected by aviation regulations. Lanter is chief of the General Inspection Division. He was received in Fairbanks by Inspector E. B. Fred Gentry of Fairbanks and two CAA men from Anchorage, Marshall C.. Hoppin, superintendent of air ways in Alaska, and I. K.

TURNAGAIN ARM CROSSING BEING SURVEYED BY FRA

To initiate surveys and investi lgations to determine the feasib- ility and cost of the suggested Turnagain Arm crossing which would connect the Seward road system with the city of Anchor age, Associate Highway Engin- ger C. F. Wyler of the Public Roads Administration left on the Baranof for the Westward re- gently.
 He was accompanied by Stan ley Duke, Engineering Assistant. The two will work on the pro- ject for the balance of the sea- son.
 The proposed Turnagain Arm crossing, if constructed, would give Interior Alaska an addition al highway connection with the coast, over the Richardson High way and the Palmer-Richardso Highway link now being con- structed.

ZONE FOR ONE"

Feeding an Extra Pound Of
Grain to Get Extra Pound
of Milk Advised
OFFER F. S. A. LOANS

"One for one"-feeding an extra
pound of grain to produce an extra
pound of milk-is the new rule of
thumb which dairymen who are
clients of the Farm Security Ad-
ministration have been asked to
adopt to increase the supply of
milk which is urgently needed for
defense and aid to Britain, ]. L.
Soper, rehabilitation supervisor,
whose Office is at Dover said today.
Heavier grain feeding will result
in an average of three extra pints
of milk per COW per day. We es-
innate that if all farmers in Della
ware practised the zone for one
rule the states yearly milk produc-
tion would be increased by IL, 1884,
800 quarts" Soper said. Depart
ment of Agriculture experiments
over the last four years show that
unless a farmer is already feeding
at extremely heavy rates, he can
safely assume his cows have a 20
percent reserve capacity. In other
words, a cow producing 5000
pounds of milk at about standard
feeding levels can raise her produc-

u. OF d. HENS
AWAIT 1ST GAME
Show Signs of Good Aerial
Offensive; Co-Captains
Elected at Meeting
1ST GAME SEPT. 9TH

Further evidence that the Uni
versity of Delaware football teams
aerial offensive will be equally as
potent as it's ground attack was
furnished Saturday afternoon as
the Hen varsity eleven handed the
Gold team a 21-0 setback in a reg
ulation game scrimmage. Making
use of Bill (Red) Hogan's accur-
ate arm, the tentative first team
scored one touchdown via the for
ward passing route and set up a
second six-pointer when the husky
sophomore connected to Fred
(Rebel) Sloan on the eight-yard
stripe. Hogan, a brilliant ball car
rier, is one of the best passers to
ever represent the Blue and Gold
and if the problem of receivers can
be solved, the Delaware team will
boast of a powerful aerial offen-
sive. Although several recruits
are making determined bids for po-
sitions, Coach Bill Murray will
probably hand the starting assign
ments for the Juniata game on
September 81 to veterans who
played major roles in last years
five-game winning streak. The
backfield with Hogan forming the
spearhead, is expected to remain
intact, with Al Newcomb again at
the signal-calling post, and Melvin
(Ripper Brooks and Walt Paul
working from the wingback spots.
Howard Jarvis and Sloan, both
sophomores, are stand-outs for the
flank assignments, with Jack Cas-
tevens and Bob Furman at the
tackles, and Hugh Bogovich and
Tony Stalloni in the guard berths.
Jim Mullen, now sidelined because
of a bruised foot, will be given the
starting center assignment against
the Indians. At recent meeting
! of lettermen, Brooks and Mullen
were elected co-captains of the
/ Delaware eleven for 1941. The for
mer, a back, has been one of the
outstanding ground gamers during
the past three years. He is a
graduate of Newark High School.
Mullen, a Salesianum High School
turnout, has been dividing his time
between the backfield and center,
but is slated for the regular pivot
post assignment this fall. Only
eight more days of practice remain
before the Hens open their season
on Frazer Field.

NEED TO CONSERVE WATER
Residents of Smyrna Requested to
Conserve Supply During Dry Spell

The members of Town Council
are still solicitious about the water
which is being needlessly used in
the town. Council appreciates the
attitude of the majority of the
town people who have sensibly re-
Trained from any excess use of the
town water, but there are a few
who apparently do not realize the
hazard under which we are living
without rain. The level of our
town well is much lower than it
was a few weeks ago and it is re-
quested that, until good rain
comes, the users of town water re-
strict themselves to real need,
which does not include sprinkling
of lawns or flowers. Water in the
lake has fallen about three inches,
but this does not affect our town
well, which receives its supply
from three springs flowing near
together.
