The first Devonian field In the north
Rocky Mountain region has been es-
tablished at Ram River field on Clear
water forest reserve, central Alberta.
No adequate test can be made until
storage is completed but the well is
known to be commercial, flowing by
heads. Russell V. johnson, Calgary
geoolgist who located the discovery
well, expecting Devonian production,
has spotted second well, to be drilled
Immediately. The oil is 401 gravity,
green, paraffin base.
The Turner Valley Devonian test is
reported near the s900-foot depth where
the Devonian lime is expected. The
first possible horizon is at the contact
of the Banff shale and Devonian lime.

LOANS TO SMALL MINES

"The corporation is now making loans
to small mining enterprises" says re-

Smaller War Plants Corporation.

difficulty in finding a single mining
enterprise in the list of loans author

port comments Mining Journal. off

state, they should be challenged to

unnecessary for the government to call
upon stoekpiles Of domestic ores.
Donald Nelson, head of WPB, told
the committee that Eve have pretty
near a 2-year stock (of manganese)
in the stockpile, and we are able to
bring in the amount we are using.
We have not had to call on the stock
pile yet. Our ships come back loaded
with manganese from India"
Senator Murray developed the fact
that the nation is using ~ million tons
against a domestic production of 1885,
GOO tons per year, with steel produc-
tion still expanding. Senator Murray
was trying to bring about a higher
price, to foster development of greater
reserves Of strategic minerals It de-
veloped that imports have been so
great as to minimize the Importance
Of domestic development. This explained
the hating Of the South Dakota man
ganese development.
Chromium is in much the same posi-
ton, according to testimony of Andrew
Leith Of WPB. Present supply is suf
ficient to carry through 1914 and into
l945, he said. This in face of the fact
that the United States alone is con
suming more ehromite per year than
the entire world produced in any year
prior to 1886. So great is the supply,
however, that it is not even necessary
TO import low grade chrome. AS to do
nestle sources he said:
"To develop the large mines the
government first undertook to develop
the low-grade deposits in Montana.
After some negotiation with the owners,
we leased the largest properties and,
through a management agent, have been
developing the mines and have built
large concentrating plants. In recent
months, this work has not proceeded
as rapidly as we would like for the
reason that equipment, materials and
manpower are very much more urgently
needed for other programs which are
not in as comfortable a position as
ehromite. However, we are in the posi-
ton where, il necessary, we could pro-
du6e one-half million tons of chromite
concentrates per year from our Mon
tana plants which would make this, so
FAR as tonnage is concerned, the largest
ehromite-producing district in the world
by far. What we win actually produce
viii depend upon our needs and probably
viii be considerably less than the
maximum"

LITTLE MINING NEWS

The dearth of mining enterprise in
Montana is reflected IN current trade
journals in which Montana mining news
no longer has an important place. The
May issue of The Mining Journal of
Phoenix contains no Montana news,
whereas Montana usually occupies con
siderable space in those columns.

The acts OF Life

In his widely-used column, printed in
daily newspapers throughout the ma
ton, Samuel B. Pettengill recently
commented: "If the war continues for
two years or more the United States
may have an oil shortage which could
make our victory in Tunisia seem un-
important. If the shortage comes, the
government in Washington win be to
blame, not the industry"
After setting forth the results Of
government hobbling Of the oil In
dustry he adds:
"The result of the deep thinking of
all these giant intellects Of planned
economy is that banks are withdraw
ing from financing wildcatters: small
wells are being shut down; drilling for
new wells was cut in two last year. 1t
will be further reduced this year -.
"Pretty picture, isn't it, with a war
on our hands which may last not two,
but five or more years. Perhaps the
petroleum industry should rent house
on R street, hire a Hollywood blonde
and invite in the bigwigs to acquaint
them with the facts of life"

alton. In Maribor, after the oc-
cupation, they forced the Fran
ciscan and the Jesuit fathers, in
the garb of their order, to de-
molish a Serbian Orthodox
church. They filmed the scene
and showed it in Serbia with a
commentary that describes how
the Catholic Slovenes hate the
Orthodox Serbs, and how they
made use of the first opportu-
nifty to demolish an Orthodox
church now that they were rid
of the Serbian yoke.
Both German calculations
miscarried. Everywhere the Slo-
venes were received as true
brothers. The starving popula-
ton made large collections of
money, material and clothes,
while the peasants received the
emigrants and shared with
them everything they had. Re-
ports written independently of
each other are unanimous in
saying that the people every

eve shall share with you the
last crumb Of bread" In the
tragedy that befell Yugoslavia,
this living proof of the brother

and Slovenes is one of the most
stirring chapters, an eloquent
exemplification of the true
feeling of the masses
Forced Labor and Deportations
Besides the forcible mass
emigration and imprisonments,
with judicial procedure or
without it, the shooting of hos

are the forcible recruiting for
farm and industrial labor in
Germany, and deportation to
concentration camps. These
working forces are sent to Ger

groups. There they are allotted
to farms and industries.

CHECKUP

Housewives-now that you

spring housekeeping ceremony,
the Greater Cleveland Safety

housekeeping time safety

For example,-see that your
medicine bottles are plainly
labeled, check the condition of
all electrical cords and appli-
ances, and make sure that the
lights in halls and stairways
are working. And don't use a
makeshift ladder in washing
walls and windows, in hanging
curtains or in cleaning cup

Rubber Director William M.
LETTERS has pointed out the
menace of nails, broken glass
and other sharp objects to the
country's precious tires, and he
has asked everybody to help
clear the streets, alleys and
highways of such objects. The

Gil earnestly seconds that plea
because life and health, as well
as tires, are menaced by such
objects. So, don't throw such
things where they can cause
trouble. Help save your coun-

Check StairUagS

Housewives, while cleaning
house this spring, why not
check up on the stairs and steps
both inside and outside the
house? The Greater Cleveland
Safety Council says that more
people are killed as the result
of falls on stairs than any other
type of fall in the home. Make
sure that stair treads are not
broken, that carpeting and
mating are not loose, and that
ratings are strong.

In all instances the emigrants
were forced to sign a declara-

voluntarily, that they renounce

leave their real and personal

that such emigration exacted a

80 per cent of the infants I'M

Cameo 0) Opener
By Floyd Madrzykowsh

Some have achieved fame by way
Of endurance contests, flag-pole
sitting and marathon races; but
Louis Krenmpa can claim to have
achieved a record, at least among
the members Of the American Can
Unit, by virtue of being chosen as
the first popular young man with
in the plant. For this reason, great
honors were bestowed upon him
last Friday.
The ceremonies took place in the
cafeteria during lunch time. Ted
Modrowski officiated as master of
ceremonies, presenting Lou with
gifts galore.
A brilliant red crown given by
the Sprayers was placed upon Louis
head, medal from Dept. l denot-
ing him as a Champion was pinned
on his chest, a giant cigar was
contributed by the fellow workers
Of Dept. 4, a cigar lighter from the
boys in the galvanizing room. A
lathe spun spittoon from Red"
and his maintenance crew, a cuspi-
dor for formal wear with a safety
pin attached was pinned above the
dress coat pocket.
A defense stamp album putting
Lou we'll on the way toward a
Defense Bond was given by the
Litho Dept. A gift box containing
several packages of chewing to-
bacco from Dept. 2 and 5, and a
caricature of Our Hero drawn by
Thad Sikorsh and the Dock Gang
was also presented to our most
popular young man, who was so
overwhelmed with surprise that he
was unable to make speech.
Here is the why and how of
LOUIS popularity. Every first Mon
day of the month, Lou locates Pee
wee Lewandowski, alias Doc" and
says, Here's my nickel for chew
in tobacco which makes it fifty
fifty and let me open the fresh
pack" And mind you, for one
whole month Mondays through Fri
days Louey chisels chewin' from
Doc. Which reminds US of the last
time the sample-man was around.
Louey made four trips and on the
fifth trip he got dizzy going around
the gate and keeled over. When~he
came to, here is what he said,
"Oh, well, that's all right, I've got
a ten-week supply of chewin', saw
ing myself two bits anyway" Just
being thrifty, eh, Lou?
The Eye Opener wishes to thank
the arrangement committee, and all
the good people who cooperated in
any way to make this venture a
huge success.

waving from a machine on line
No. is official?
