TWO AIR HEROES
SEE HOW COPPER
Is TURNED OUT
O'HARE AND WIRELESS VISITORS
AT BUTTE MINES. GREAT
FALLS SHELTER

Montanans this month had a look
at pair Of Uncle Sans air heroes
and they in turn had a look at the
states copper production and process
ing operations, the machinery Of
which has been stepped up greatly
to strengthen the nations war sinews.
Coming to the state were Lieut..
Commander Edward OHare and Capt.
Hewitt T. Wheless. two Of the nations
outstanding aerial fighters. In Butte
the flying heroes learned about mining
the rock from the worlds richest hill
and how 1t is smelted Then, in a
two-hour trip through the copper and
zinc refining plants Of the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co. at Great Falls,
| they saw metals turned out in record
breaking quantities ready to be used
In planes, tanks, guns and bullets.
The fliers were accompanied by Col
A. Robert Ginsburgh of the army gen.
eral staff and they addressed workers
and the public in both Butte and
Great Falls.
D. NJ. Kelly. vice president in charge
OF western operations Of the Anaconda
company, and r. B. Caples. manager
OF the Great Falls plant, said that
workers and management were CO.
operating to set new records for output
OF refined copper, zinc. cadmium and
indium. Kelly commended both man.
agement and workers for their pro-
duction record.
John Epperson. president Of the
Great Falls local of the Mine, Mill
and Smelter Workers union, promised
O'Hare and Wheless nothing would
be allowed to interfere with the pro-
auction OF Montana metals needed to
keep the nations fighting forces sup
piled.
I'VE need this copper and zinc in
the war effort" OHare said. with
out these metals we (of the fighting
forces) can do nothing"
Colonel Ginsburgh, who came to
Montana for the war production drive
as the representative of Undersecre-
tary Of War Patterson, said copper
rush" had replaced the gold rushes
of the early west.
Modern warfare has made copper
more precious than gold," he said.

three got together in person for the

agreements were made. The dope is
that Wallace will be chairman Of
the finance committee. his supporter
Frank Tayl-r chairman Of judici"ly
committee No.. and his supporter
George Uzzell chairman Of education
or roads. An interesting thing about
reports Of trades is that John Um-
stead of Orange, n Of the men who
fought hardest eeainst the governors

mating all the candidates, is left out
of the trade.

TOXIC MATERIALS
HEALTH MENACE
Sources of Air Replace
ment Reviewed in Cur
rent Bulletin

Industrial health hazards created
by the liberation of toxic materials
into breathing area of workers are
most effectively controlled by two
way exhaust ventilation system, the
monthly bulletin of the State De-
partment of eHalth points out.
In large factory buildings suffi-
cient air may be supplied by leak
age through door and window cas-
ings in cold weather or through open
windows and doors during mild
weather. The bulletin explains, how
ever, that these sources of air re-
placement may be entirely made
quate in a partitioned-off depart
ment or small plant where there are
toxic atmospheric substances. When
this is the case there may be DIM
inished air flow in the exhaust sys-
tenn, reducing its function to control
the health hazard and possibly al
lowing re-entry of toxic materials
discharged to the outside.
An efficient air makeup system
should supply air to the work room
from an uncontaminated source, the
bulletin says. To prevent cold
draught in the work area the air
should be heated. The system may
also include cooling, dust removal,
humidification or de -humidification
depending on specific requirements.

WORLD ALMANAC
GIVES WAR FACTS
New Edition Now Avail
able; Familiar Data Still
in Volume

A vast fund of information on the
Second World War, the nations in
volved, the populations affected and
other material vital in following the
course of hostilities is contained in
the 1912 edition Of the World AL
manac. More than 60 pages are de-
voted to war and collateral subjects
in the 57th consecutive issue of the
Almanac which has a high record
for accuracy.
There are presented the message
of President Roosevelt demanding
war against Japan and the reply OF
the joint session of Congress-the
declaration. The proposals of Secre-
tary Hull to Japan to provide a per-
manent peace for all in the Far East
are given point by point; also noted
Is the rejection by Japan. The
chronology of the fighting in the
Pacific recalls the attack without
warming on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
and the later announcement by
Japan to the United States that a
state of war existed.
The summary of the war IN Eu-
rope records the military campaigns
in the second year in Russia, Africa
and Greece. There are told the losses
by countries-including the occu-
pied naticns-in armed forces, on
land, an the seas and In the air.
Losses OF civilians in air and ship
raids also are given.
The Almanac presents the latest
information on the size of armies
and navies of the world. The mill
| tary posts and camps in the United
States and the naval bases get
special attention. National defense
and the lend-lease act and its opera
tons reveal the huge expenditures
in the cost Of preparing for war.
Despite The increased space given
to the war, none Of the articles OF
general interest in the Almanac
really an encyclopedia in one volume
has been neglected. Election re-
turns. population data, sports. laws
In brief, manufacturing statistics

Mrs. Henry Plowden Ex=
pert in Air Raid Defense
to Meet Officials

Mrs. Humphrey Plowden, former

President

the State Armory was engaged, and
decorators hired at the time, and
other details looked after; 1t takes
much time for the Firemen to act;
in the first place, the necessary
permission must be obtained from
the commissioners to carry out the
affair. Tickets were in the field
in October, inasmuch as the winter
is a busy period for all Firemen,
and little time is afforded for this
purpose during the cold weather.
And when war was declared, with
thousands of tickets already dis
posed of, all the advance arrange
ments had to be cancelled, so FAR
as the hall was concerned; the
lease of the State Armory was can
celled, and this left the Firemen
rather high in the air. The next
largest hall in the city, the Bucking-
ham, was engaged, but by an ar
rangement entered into by those in
terested, the hall was turned over
to the Firemen
1t has been years since the Fire
men danced in the Buckingham,
built nearly IS years ago, and de-
signed by the noted architect Stan
ford White of New York, later shot
to death by the widely known
Harry Thaw. The sponsor for the
building was tie late John H. Whit
temore of Naugatuck, whose aim
was to provide a proper concert
hall for the people of Waterbury
and vicinity. Mr. Whittemore,
wealthy and charitable, and known
for his interest in public welfare,
later gave the building outright TO
the Waterbury Hospital.
The Firemen's Ball is dear to Old
Waterbury. 1t was first started back
many years ago in volunteer days.
Even thel it was carried out on
much larger scale than is the Gus
tom of the present cay. Fire head
quarters has a program of 1873,
showing that the bal of that year
had the 7th regiment band Of New
York to supply music for the affair,
held in the old city hall, and run
ming through the entire night.

Offers Suggestions

Hartford. January 22-The gen.
eral salvage committee Of the state
defense council today issued list
of the essential materials needed
in the national Salvage for Vic
tory" program, and outlined how
these commodities should be saved:
What to Save and How TO Do It
RUBBER - Discarded footwear,
garden hose, rubber sheets and
pads, rubber toys, old tires and
tubes, etc. Keep a paste-board box
in a closet or basement in which
smaller items may be stored. Bulky
articles such as garden hose may
be cut In sections for easier handl-
ing.
RAGS -- All rags which are not
greasy should be stored in card
board packing box for easy handl-
ing, or may be kept in sacks. Cot
ton and wooden fabrics are most
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-22

acceptable. Do not dispose Of gar
ments which might be useful 70
the Red Cross or other agencies
PAPER - Newspapers should be
kept In a separate pile, folded
across the center the way you see
them on the newsstands. Tie a
string around each pile when il
reaches a foot high. When you
have three feet you will have ap-
proximately 100 lbs, which is q
quantity most acceptable to the
collector.
Magazines printed on slick
paper should be piled separately
They are more valuable.
Loose Papers may be most con-
veniently saved in large paste
board boxes. Cellophane, wax
papers, metal coated wrapping
papers are NOT wanted.

I'VE of the Fire Dept. are very
conscious of the war;" declared
Fireman Norton today" but mas
much as we had proceeded so far
we had to go on with the Ball, Just
as they are doing in London and
have been doing since the advent
of the war over there. High gov
eminent officials have declared we
should not give up entirely our reg
ular entertainment, and based upon
this declaration we shall proceed
and make merry, we hope, on this
particular occasion. We pray we
shall have reason tc rejoice in our
defense of our lands and possessions
and that the unwarranted attack
upon Pearl Harbor will be avenged
by our great army and navy"
