since, impressed with the fertility
and beauty of the valley of the
Flathead, and when we had made
the decision to enter the field of
producing aluminium here my first
concern was that whatever was done
had to be an asset and cause no
possible damage to the valley.
PICKING SITE
One of our first studies of what
had been done by our predecessor
was to examine the site that had
been selected for the building of
the plant. Having had as much if
not more experience in what dam
age may result from metal reduct-
ion plants, we sent our experts to
study the situation and as result we
changed the site that had been sell
ected in the valley and decided to
acquire and build upon the site on
which we now stand. Here at the
very head of the valley, with no
merchantable timber, little if any
agriculture and with prevailing fav-
cradle wind direction, its natural
advantages were to be augmented
by the decision to study and adopt
the best planned method that had
been developed for the control Of
emanations and liquids from the
plant, and as result here they
have been installed in manner
that can be guaranteed to do M
possible damage to any growing OF
living thing.
| That was the decision reached
when Roy Glover and l first drov,
over this site, when there was NJ
road and we bumped along arount
the scrub pines and brush alonl
the Great Northern right of way
; and we decided here was the place
The decision as to the site wa
made before there was the frs
blueprint of a plant. Entering tn

what is common knowledge, an

consider what is this plant.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 10 R.-
About 100000 Maryland young
sters will receive a full set OF
three Salk polio vaccine shots
courtesy of the Federal Gov
eminent - when Maryland re-
sumes it's incubation program
in the fall.
DR.. Edward Davens. chief of
the State Health Department
Bureau of Preventive Medicine
said today Maryland's share of
the $50 million appropriated by
Congress for vaccine purchasing
will be $385.123.
That amount will buy about
481 900 shots of vaccine and with
each child receiving three shots,
that means the Federal grant will
be sufficient to immunize about
10000 children in Maryland.
Yesterday, the United States
Public Health Service released
1902 more shots of the Salk
vaccine to Maryland. bringing

Alexandra to Test
Disaster Setup

Alexandria City Manager Ira
F. Willard today released a plan
designed to coordinate all func-

in the event of a disaster,
The plan establishes a chain
of command with the city man
ager at the top. 1t calls for
setting up a radio control center
in the Alexandria city hall tele-
phone switchboard room and in
the adjoining Public Works Office.
In the event of a disaster, a
field control post would be estab-
lished on the scene and all re-
quests for service equipment and
materials would be transmitted
directly to the city hall nerve
center.
Mr.. Willard said a "dry run"
test of the plan would be made
at least once every 80 days.
