of fire could be seen 100 miles
away, and if the Japanese had
known about it, they might have
used it for a beacon to bomb Pearl
Harbor, and Honolulu, on the ad-
jacent island of Oahu.
From May 6. the eruption weak
ened, and on the night of May 10,
Manua Loa made its last gasps.
LESS VIOLENT
Volcanologists, who had forecast
the eruption, said it was not as
violent as the previous one, in
April, 1910. Mauna Loa erupts in
two or three-year cycles.
The volcano began an ominous
rumbling during the day of April
26. Observers Immediately began
preparations to combat the eXplo-
sion, which came with terrific
force after sunset. The first was
in Mokuoweoweo. at the summit,
and was followed by a second ex-
ploSion from the 12,0O0-foot level
on the northeast side. A great
flow of lava poured forth and
within a few hours had travelled
more than five miles.
The following day, the eruption
subsidized somewhat, but sulphur

CURED at the 9,100-foot level, start
ing lava stream which b. May
3 was Ia miles long.
PASTURE DESTROYED
One lava stream split into four
rivers. the main one of which was
tenth of a mile wide, and which,
for a time, advanced a mile day.
Some of the advancing streams pill
ed up walls of clinkers "a feet
high.
The only damage was destruction
of pasture land and forest areas.
The most dangerous flow, at the
9,100-foot level on the northeast
side. was the most alarming in 100
years, because it headed straight
for Hilo harbor The Army bomb
ed the lava flow twice when it
threatened important damage. In
1885. the Army had to bomb the
volcano to keep lava from engulf-
ing Hilo.

County Faced by
Union U|ti mutum

The applications have not yet been
approved, however. and Henry said
that the union can, on its own
authority, remove these men with
out notice. Unless the supervisors
relent, he added, such action must
follow for the unions own protec-
ton" The men are now operating
under union work permits.
BOARD NON-COMMITAL
Members of the county board of
supervisors we're n-commital about
forced union membership, but ada
mant in their insistence that the
equipment, when rented, must con-
tinue to be operated by county
employees so the county's heavy in
vestment would be protected.
Supervisor A. Y. Preble, Imperial,
told a reporter it would be good
idea not to say too much about
the union or nOn-union driver of
the equipment, and recommended
that the matter be publicly ignor-
ed.
Henry had charged that Preble
was the man who negotiated the
rental of county equipment, and
declared that Preble is on the pay
roll of the contractors as a purchaS-
ing specialist and rental supervisor
C. G.. Halliday, deputy district
attorney told the county board
Monday afternoon that any agree
ment for rental of equipment must
bear the approval of four-fifths of
the boards membership.
SUPERVISORS STAND PAT
All members of the board declared
against renting county equipment
unless the regular operators went
along with it. 1. Schlatter, Calexico.
who had already rented equipment
to the contractors, sent his men
along with it. 1t was they who ap-
piled for union membership.
Hugh Osborne, Ell Centre, and
Dave Vencill, Holtville, declared in
favor of keeping the county's
equipment to maintain county
roads. The taxpayers money was
spent to get this equipment for
that purpose" Osborne said. We
want to do all VIC can to help, but
we have duty here also in our
own districts"
3. M. Graham, BraWley. said the
contractors have made no definite
suggestion of deal to rent his
equipment, and added that he needs
it, anyway, for regular road work.
Both the contractors and Henry
pointed out that all equipment rent
ed from the county is under the
eye of naval guards at all times, as
is all equipment on the job.

Present-day social and econ
omic conditions have caused the
Central Committee of the Mount
Clemens Civic Lecture Series to
vote to suspend operations. This
action was taken following the
closing number on the current
series of speakers and artists.
Although it was agreed by all
attending members of the COM
mittee to be of supreme import
ance as a cultural and educa-
tional project, tn. following
were listed as reasons for the
temporary suspension:
~ Intense activity on the
parts of citizens in the war eff
fort, creating scarcity of time
available for attendance at
events of this kind, and (2) a
shifting of attention to war
time occupations by the various
sponsoring civic organizations.
Machinery has been created
however whereby a revival of
this civic institution may be set
into motion when proper time
presents itself. Many citizens
have eagerly awaited the ap-
pearance of the many and varied
artists presented during the year
through the cooperative spon-
sorship of the civic groups, and
who will greatly miss this pro-
ject.

Pork Control

CHICAGO, March % up
Wholesale pork price control

The general assumption. how
