starting assignment at tailback.
His passes are almostSon a par
with those Of Isbell, and he's a

Portland Learns
How to bIuckout

women in the volunteer air warden
service. Training started here in
January 1941, long before Pearl
Harbor, and headed by Arthur L.
Fields, Chairman of the Civilian
Defense Committee, the folks of
Portland have been working ever
since. Fields, incidentally, was the
biggest Chevrolet distributor in the
Northwest, but he didn't Sulk when
his business was knocked out by the
war. He just devotes all of his time
to Civilian Defense.
From the usual central control
OF the r-raid service, the Portland
organization extends to the point
of motorcycle riders to cover areas
which cannot be reached by tele-
phone. There are 40 fire e-houSes in
Portland and each one of them has
at least 100 volunteers attached to
it. all of whom have been or are
being instructed as auxiliary fire
men. Some of the graduated volun-
teer firemen purchased their own
auxiliary trucks last year.
This is a vital area with it's vast
lumber industry, shipyardS and
other industrial works and the great
forests stretching off into the
mountains, capped by stately Mt
Hood And the civilians have rallied
to protect it.

BY FRED S. FERGUSON
President of NEA Service

PORTLAND, Ore, April 9 - They
do not need any stirring to war
effort in Portland. On any phase
that may be mentioned, they're
ahead of you. The city had its first
"Elackout" October 81 and there has
been training, changing this and
changing that ever since. until now
they're on basis of backing out the
entire area in 80 seconds. And they
know they can do it.
There's war industrial boom on.
Retail department store sales have
been increasing from a modest ten
per cent as of April, 1941, to the
present cracking 40 per cent in
crease over a year ago. Upon a nor
NAL population of some 350,000 there
has been an inpouring of $4,000 to
10000 more as shipyards, airplane
Establishments and other industries
Re expanded. The figure may reach
100000 before the year is out.
There's a housing shortage. City
property will probably be used for
the erection of temporary houses
Workers, dislocated by the automo-
We shut down in Michigan, have
come here in droves. and immedi-
ately found jobs in other industrial
work.
Expansion and conversion are ev-
erywhere. And, recognizing the i'm
portance of employing every civilian
tool available in the area special
organization was set up to bring
this about, to prevent ut-downs
and to place contracts in small
shops This is the Oregon War In
dustries, Inc, which goes after the
little fellow, and any little shop
that can do a job is given one to
do.
Women are playing a big role in
POrtlandS civilian defense. They'll
dO anything. One organization of
200 came to MAYOR r. Earl Riley
and volunteered to furnish sand
Wches and hot coffee to men who
were standing guard on various
establishments of military impor-
tance. They furnished their own
transportation prepared their own
food and were on their way.

There are from three to six eggs
OF pale blush or greenish white,
some spotted with pale reddish
brown. The youngsters are fed on
enoer meat of squirrel, chipmunk,
rabbit or chicken, becoming more
ferce and self-aggressive each day.
Their education is begun early and
Is thorough. They capture small
birds and insects during their first
Trials, but soon become quite adept
IN capturing larger ones.
The picture against the Cooper

and we should tackle 1t wisely. The
hawk is merely taking all he can get
for nothing when he raids the
chicken yard. We can OF course
| outwit him and make him work for
his living.
