Strike At West Point
Anfield Now Finished
District Army Engineer Says
Job Is Normally Manned

WEST POINT, N. Y, Aug. 23.-
R)-Colonel A. B. Jones, district
Army engineer, said today that
the strike of 300 government-con-
tractor employees at Stewart Field
was apparently over" and that
tthe job was normally manned
and operating under normal con-
ditions.
The strike at the field, which
was termed by Jones "a clear
violation" of the no-strike agree
ment, started last Monday. The
district engineer said it was hold
ing up flight training of aviation
cadets and work on important de-
tense contracts. Stewart Field is
a $25, 100000 aviation training cen.
ter of the U. S. Military Academy.
The work stoppage, he said, was
believed to have been caused by
the Newburgh building trades
council to induce an open shop
contractor at Montgomery Field
nearby to enter into union con-
tract. The union could not be
reached for comment.

FARM and HOME
AGENTS CONFER
80 Representatives Begin
Meeting AT North Caro-
lima College

BOILING SPRINGS. Aug. 23.-R
Eighty farm ana nome agents and
their assistants Of the southwest
ern extension district met today
with N. C. State college specialists
and administrative personnel for
a three-day conference at Gardner
Webb college.
Most of the conferees arrived
yesterday and attended yes p e r
services at which former Cover
nor CLYDE R. Hoey of Shelby SPOKE.
He said, "The progress made in
the last ten years is the greatest
made in any decade, and h S
progress is outstanding in no field
more than it is in agriculture.
Dean I. o. Schaub of the State
college extension service told the
conferees today that eve must
keep as our main objective in ex-
tension work the aiding of farm
people in the production and con-
servation of maximum amount
of food and feed products"
He advocated intensified educa-
tional activities with less time de-
voted to routine. He commended
Governor Broughton's support OF
the extension program.
Other speakers on today's pro-
gram were R. w. Graeber, extern
sion forester at State college, who
discussed the place of forestry and
forest products in the war effort,
and L. I. Case, extension livestock
specialist, who told of the impor-
tance of freezing lockers in con-
serving food products on the farms
now and after the war.

up and robbed of $13 by two un-
identified Negroes. Sunday night,

lice that he picked up the two at

Zero Weather Can t Stop
Army Cars From, Starting

This is not a hot-weather story.
According to word received here
by w. E. Curtis, superintendent,
it happened last winter at north
ern Army outpost where, for three
days, the mercury had been try
ing to climb up to 40 below zero.
A bitter wind drove powdery drifts
of snow into the drivers compart-
ments of the jeeps, trucks, and
half tracks parked near the camp.
An alarm sounded. Men raced
from their shelters and climbed
into the vehicles. Drivers pressed
starter buttons and instantly the
engines roared into life. In a few
seconds every vehicle was NOV
ing.
Twelve months ago this could
not have happened. Starting a mo-
tor vehicle after three days in 40
beloW-zero temperatures woul d
have taken not seconds but IS, 30,
or As minutes.
Here's what happens in an en-
gine at 40 below: The battery is
dead; no current can be drawn
from it. The oil has hardened to
plastic-like material between the
pistons and cylinder walls. Start.
ing, even by hand cranking, is all
but impossible. Even if a start is
made, the oil will not pump, bear
ings will burn out, cylinder walls
and pistons will score, and the
engine will be ruined.
Some motorists living in cold
climates solve the problem by
storing radiator fluid, crankcase
oil, and battery indoors at night.
Next morning fairly quick start
can be made. But this is not
practical for an armed fore e
which must be ready to roll at a
moments notice. About a year
ago the Army Ordnance Depart
ment asked The Texas Company
to develop a means of starting
engines instantly at minus 40, FAN.
renheit. 1t was stipulated that any
device designed for the purpose
must operate for "a hours or more
without attention, must not con-
sumo electrical energey, and be
adaptable to a wide variety of We.
hicles.
Engineers at the Texaco re
search laboratory at Beacon, NY.
went to work. Why not, they rea
soned, use small gasoline stove
to heat the engine coolant and al
low the cooiant to circulate by
means of thermo-siphon action tt
the other parts of the engine re
quiring warmth? The S C h m {
worked. The entire system was
designed to be as much par
of the vehicle as an ordinary pas
senger car hot-water heater.
The Perfection Stove company
developed tiny gasoline stove te
meet the Texaco engines re
quirements. The stove burns only
about a gallon of fuel in "a hours

Madry emphasized. He revealed
that under provision of the speed

are allowed time to complete their
university work before induction

Some 100 members of the fac

civilian faculty members now at
the college will be used as instruc-

there.
