Putting Wind To Work
Cincinnati Enouirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer Small whirng windvanes-an adaptation of the picturesque water pumping windmis-have become familiar sight American farms in recent years Their blades turn generators producing current to charge the batteries used in small light plants highly important chore in rural life.
 The popular science and mechanics magazines long have envisioned the day when giant evoutions of the small wind charges would straddle mountain tops putting the wind to work to furnish light and power for entire cities. And it seems that their vision has at last materialized.
 Preliminary tests made recently of huge wind turbine erected atop Grandpas Knob in the Green Mountains of Vermont. The contrivance consists of 11O-foot galvanized iron tower SUD- porting two stainless steel blades, mounted propeller fashion, with a total spread of 175 feet These blades each of which weighs g tons and resembles bomber wing in design geared to a genera tor mounted platform at the top of the tower. The turbine constructed so that it will face into the prevailing wind The angle of incidence of the wind blades is adjustable so that a constant speed of about 28 revolutions per minute can be main- taned
 Engineers estimate that slight breeze will be sufficient to turn the turbine but the production of current is expected to take place with winds of from Is to 60 miles hour. A generating capacity of 1000 kllowattS day is expected of the test unit which erected at cost of $5OO,OOO. The actual production of current is scheduled to begin this fall
 The undertaking is commercial venture, and is the first of it's kind in the world. While it would be hopelessly impractical in many-if not most sections of the nation, the wind turbine may prove
 valuable adjunct to the current producing facilities of certain places, such as Vermont where there are mountains and more less consistent wind but
 dearth of facilities for steam turbines and hydro electric plants If this experiment proves its worth in an impressive fashion we may expect to see cer- tain sections of the nation acquiring something of the picturesqueness of Holland.

AUTUMN WELCOME

Hows that thar barrel O hard cider comin' along, Si?
 Today is officially the first day of fall It'll be no time at all before the Halloween witches will be dusting off their 1941 model broomsticks for their annual cruise through the sky. Makes fell like we'd like to get barrel of cider and dishpan full of homemade doughnuts and park feet under the kitchen stove and spin some tall ghost stories.
 Maybe we're rushing the season little with all this premature Halloween talk After all, autumn only started at 2:33 am. today, according to the Weather Bureau and calendar publishers who are supposed to know.
 But the trees and the rainclouds who don't read calendars, got the jump the official beginning of fall by few days Those beautiful reds and yellows among the leaves of groves of along the Glacier Highway have been heralding the autumn for more than week now And the rainy misty weather which is typical of fall has been delaying air travel for the Lodestars since late last week
 Journalistically we are sure fall is here when the Associated Press starts sending feature mater ial fall styles and the sports writers in the States get excited about the World Series and foot ball predictions.
 Exercising editorial prerogative, We venture to make the following forecasts:
 Styles: The bare-mdriff dress for street wear which has never experienced any great amount of popularity in Alaska, will not be popular number on Juneau streets during the coming fall season.
