MONTANA METALS HAD
IMPORTANT WAR; ROLE

Butte-The Anaconda Copper Min
ing company was responsible for
the production of one-third of the
copper made available to the Uni
ted Nations for use in the prosecu-
ton of the war, w. H. Hoover, vice
president and general counsel, told
the Butte Rotary club.
In speaking of the unusual ac-
~tivities of the Anaconda company
during the war;" Hoover said the
wide scope of the company's re-
searchers, management and workers
also played a major role in the pro-
duction of manganese, chrome and
magnesium.
The Anaconda company entered
those fields at the request of the
government, taking over the Basic
Magnesium plant at Las Vegas,
New, at a critical time and develop
ing ore bodies and plant processes
in the chrome and manganese fields.
The critically needed war metals
were not available from the usual
sources. The job done by the Ana
conda company in the development
of chrome was described as mir
aculous" by Hoover. He praised c.
F. Kelley, chairman of the board
of the Anaconda company; j. r.
Hobbins, president, and D. M. Kelly,
vice president in charge of western
operations, for their skill and lead
ership.
He said the Anaconda company's
efforts during the war emergency
constituted "the longest continuous
uninterrupted peak production OF
metals in the history of the state"
He praised the efficiency, loyalty
and productive ability of manage
ment and workers alike" and point
ed significantly to the fact that
there were no interruptions in pro-
duction of plants in Montana be-
cause of difficulties between labor
and management.
Hoover said he hoped the great
productive machinery of the United
States can now be turned to peace
and the enjoyment of the people,"

SCHOOLS OPEN
WITH GAINS IN
GRADE DIVISION
High School Shows But
Slight Change, Begin
ners Set Record

Opening enrollments at the begin
ming of the new school year Tues
day showed the high school with a
total near that of last years first
day, while the junior high was
slightly under the previous years
figure. In the elementary grades,
said Supt. Fred w. Graft after
making a survey, there was a dis
tinct increase in the enrolment,
particularly in the beginners grade.
The faculty is short an English
teacher for the high schol, but
Superintendent Graft said he ex-
pected the vacancy to be filled in
the coming week.
This years opening enrolment
was 210 in the high school-70
freshmen, 55 sophomores, so juniors
and 35 seniors. The total for the
high school was 112.
In the elementary department,
where a sharp increase was noted,
the East school enrolment was II,
the largest number that school has
ever had. The South schools total
was 104 and the North school had
304. In each instance the figures
showed gains over the previous
year. The first-year classes totaled
l04, the highest on record for the
beginning group.

POWER SUBSTAT|ON
To HAVE K|LOWATT
CAPACITY OF $500
New Construction Doubles Rat
ed Capacity Of Old Station
Enlarged Is Years Ago

Construction of a new. substation
by the Montana Power company,
which began late last month east
of the First avenue underpass and
south of the east and west railroad
tracks, had progressed this week
to where uprights and girders were
in place. The station will have a
$500 kilowatt rated capacity, more
than double the rated capacity of
the present substation located near
the railroad roundhouse.
The old station was built in 1908.
Fifteen years ago its capacity was
increased from $50 to 1900 kilo-
watts, and in late years it has been
delivering its rated 1000 and an
additional 300, or a total of 1,5OO.
The station now under construc-
ton is of a new design and is the
first built with certain new features
included. Among improvements are
automatic r~eclosing circuit breakers
for each of the three circuits. The
circuits are for the city proper, the
refinery and city pumping station,
and the railroad plants. The auto
matte ~reclosing circuit breakers will
each close four times before having
to be reset. This is intended to
increase the efficiency of the sub
station serving an industrial town,
where it is important to quickly
restore service on circuits that nave
gone out because of wires slapping
together during a wind or from
other similar causes.
The new ~substation will be IN the
exact center of the load, said j.. +.
Macdonald, Laurel manager for the
company who is supervising con-
struction and who contributed new
ideas and designs which are incor-
porated with others from Butte Of
fees of the company. When the
station is completed, n of the pole
lines extending east along a high
way from the underpass will be re-
moved and other lines will be ad-
iusted for connection.
Among items of equipment will
be three ~seven-ton transformers on
concrete bases, with a fourth as a
spare to be added next year. The
breakers will also rest on the
ground, in the center of the struc-
ture, and will weigh about $500
pounds each. Two regulators of
1000 pounds each will be installed
this year, and a third as a spare
will be added next year.
Total cost of the station is esti-
mated at $4,000.

1t. SHERROW TELLS OF
BIS RAIDS ON JAPS'
HOME ISLANDS, CITIES

Some of his experiences as naviga-
tor on a B-29 many raids on the
Japanese home islands we're re-
counted here Tuesday at a meeting
of the Laurel Rotary club by Lieut..
Bert A. Sherrow, Jr., who is home
on leave. His ship and fellow crew
members carried great loads of ex-
plosive and incendiary bombs to
harass and devestate the enemy's
cities, power plants, munition and
plane factories. Sometimes the
journeys, involving thousands of
miles for the great ships that cruise
at 200 miles an hour, were many
hours long.
Quietly and concisely he gave fac
tual information on dimensions,
power and loads. All the informa-
ton on the Superforts is not yet
public property, but there were a
good many things the navigator
could discuss.
Bombing heights varied. At 3d.
600 feet, which is nearly six miles
up, the cold is intense. With skill
of the crew and their superior in
it was not uncommon for
bombs to strike on the target with
in a radius of 500 feet, an incredi-
BILE feat to many laymen. From
high attitudes the planes went to
low levels for bombings, initiating
new procedure for which a COM
mander had to "stick his neck out"
Sometimes the ships were in such
close formation they were only a
few feet apart, which afforded pro-
against fighters. A good
many times each ship was on
it's own, particularly in darkness.
There was some description of
The instruments, with the Rotarians
special interest in radar
which gives a constant map of the
and objects. The various
surfaces reflect or regenerate the
-adio impulses differently. The
and reflects more than the water,
and the image shows the various
differences by making a visible
that can be compared with
he drawn maps for identifying
ocations and objects.
Fully half of Lieutenant Sher-
time was given to answering
questions from his audience. He
vas introduced by B. M. Harris,
program committeeman.
A statement of combat service,
lated July 81 and issued by Malvern

CITY TO BUY NEW
TRUCK, RECRUITMENT
FOR FIRE FIGHTING
Booster Pump, Pressure Tank
Included In Equipment For
Which Bids Are Asked

Bids are being invited this week
by the Laurel city council for a
new fire truck and equipment, in
Guiding for the first time a booster
pump to supplant the gravity pres
sure from the city's water mains.
Bids are to be opened at a meeting
of the council the evening of Sept.
18.
The truck is to have a capacity
rating one and a half tons with a
wheel base of 161 to TIA inches.
Equipment to be assembled on the
truck is to consist of a side-mounted
pump of 500-gallon capacity, a
booster tank of 300-gallons capacity,
a 30-foot t~wo-section fire depart
ment-type extension ladder and a
14-foot roof ladder with folding
hooks, a siren on the left fender,
nozzle holders on the tail board,
compartments on each side of the
truck for $50 feet of hose, and
other standard fire fighting equip
ment.
At request of the fire department
the city council recently authorized
the purchase of a new truck and
equipment. Members of the de-
partment have long wanted a boost
er pump for combating flames in
taller buildings. Fire insurance
rates were reduced a few years ago
because of improvements in water
and the departments record
for control of fires.
