be very bright future II stll-abundant ores are
put 10 the right use.
As Editor GarberSon says, much Of MnnssOta'S
high-grade ore In gone. But enough remains 70
last long time ~ It's conserved by experimenting
II with our llmitleas lOw-grade and taeOnite ore.
This IL true conservation But II won't be easy and
II won't be cheap.
II will take king size investments. A single
tnconlts plant may cost SIS million. That's just
the beginning. Hl cost far more 70 PRODUCE
the IOwer-grade and taeOnits ores.
You don't Just drcdgs them up and ship them out
You must clean and concentrate manufacture
them. You must mine far more ore-1h 70 times
much for every Of shipping product. You need
more manpowcr, more TOOLS more water, more power.
more supplies.
Clearly, the manufactured ores win cost real
money. Yet II they are 10 find q market, they
must be cheap enough 70 compete with the new:
found hlghgrade foreign ores - like those Of
Venezuela and Labrador.
n the present producers can hold down costs, this
state continue 20 be major ore supplier But part
Of the problem Of holding down costs Ii holding down

erful and vicious.
They have long, dog-like
faces and walk on all four
feet. They live on the ground
but can climb trees. They
have cheek-pouches In which
to store food. Mike Is a
hamadryas baboon, which was
the sacred monkey of the
ancient Egyptians.
Mike spends a great deal of
time sitting and staring. He
has the narrow and Shifty-
eyed look of a miserly small
town squire wondering whom
he's going to foreclose on
next. Despite this mean
look, the baboon can be a
great practical joker.
DIR. William M. Mann, direc-
tor Of the Zoo, recalls one
long-armed Chacma baboon
who would lie next to the
bars of his cage, his eyes
half-closed and one arm
hanging outside. Sometimes,
he would twirl a straw care
lessly between his thumb and
finger, his attention appar-
emily riveted on that. Visitors
would try to attract his
notice; perhaps one would
poke an umbrella toward him.
Then the arm would dart out
farther than seemed possible
and the umbrella would be
snatched inside the cage. The
baboon had learned how to
open an umbrella and in 60
ing through the narrow open
ing to his outside cage, he
would make short Shrift of
the ribs. During his career
at the Zoo, he captured 68
umbrellas and canes by actual
count of the keepers.
Once, he seized a gold watch
dangled on a gold chain and
another time a marabou boa.

In Western Virginia
BIackout Of Power
BY the Associoted Press

ROANOKE, Va, sOct. 10.-Ap-
palachian Electric & Power Co.
officials have ruled out the posi-
bility that sabotage was re-
sponsible for a power failure yes
terday which blacked out almost
third of Virginia for periods of
five minutes to an hour. IS.
An electrically generated dis
turbance caused an overlooking
on transmission lines and knocked
out three generating plants in the
company's system, affecting all

ages resulted to businesses utiliz-
ing electricity throughout an area
of Virginia extending westward
from Danville and Lynchburg4 to
the northern tip of Tennessee and
the eastern end of Kentucky and
including the cities of Roanoke,
Lynchburg, Bluefeld and Bristol.
Mr.. Mccormick said the black
out was the result of a very rare"
occurrence which knocked out
steam generating plants at Logan
and Glenn Lynn, w. Va, and the
hydro plant at Claytor Lake, Va.
Asked if there were any possibility
OF sabotage, Mr.. Mccormack said
absolutely none"
The blackout caused a furry of
telephone calls in all localities in
the affected area, and businesses
throughout the section were hesi-
tant at first to estimate the dam
age caused by the power failure.
Radio Stations Put Off Air.
wspapers were affected
through the cutting off of presses
and news wire services, radio sta
tions were forced off the air, all
types of police and fire commune
cations were affected, and ordi-
nary business and home activities
were curtailed during the black
out.
Standby lights from batteries
which cut on automatically in
such an emergency enabled sur
geons to complete a serious opera
ton at Lewis-Gale Hospital in
Roanoke.
Department stores, theaters,
dentists and other types of busi-
ness reported complete standstills
in Lynchburg. Elevators were
stuck, necessitating emergency
