Oxygen Mfg.
Plant for Alaska
FAIRBANKS —Fairbanks will
see a new industry in operation
before this summer is over when
the Alaska Chemical Co. .starts
production of oxygen. The plant
of the company is now under
construction r.esr the west edge
of town.
Concrete foundations for the
building and machinery of the
oxygen reduction plant have
been poured and a well is being
driven. Overall, the building will
be 32 feet by 44 feet, with liv
ing quarters on the second floor.
The structure will be a modern
frame.
When in full operation on 3
shifts daily, the plant, if neces
sary, will have the capacity to
supply oxygen for the entire
Territory according to Walter
Buckow, manager. Main use of
the produce will be for welding
and cutting in tire mining and
other industries.
Manager on Job
Jam's S Robbins, executive in
the Arctic Circle Exploration Co.
is president of the Alaska Chem
ical Co. Buckow. manager, is
now on the job in Fairbanks, as
sisting with the construction
which is being carried out by
the Fairbanks builders, A1 Wax
berg and Art Carpenter.
Buckow’s first experience in
Alaska was 27 years ago. Since
that time he has worked at many
places in the Territoj-y and is
thoroughly familiar with the de
mand for oxygen. This will be
the third plant that he has built,
one of the other having been put
up in South America and one in
New Guinea for mining firms.

Governor Lauds
New Air Base
Started less than a year ago,
the dedication of the new Yaku
tat army air field recently was a
tribute to the efficiency o-f army
ei’finrcrs in harre of the work.
Governor Gruening said upon his
return from the opening cere
monies.
“I was greatly impressed with
the speed and efficiency with
which this field was completed.”
Governor Gruening declared. “It
is a major demonstration of the
efficiency of army engineers.”
“The new Yakutat air base,”
the Governor continued, “pTovid
! es A aska with a splendid air
field, not only for military pur
poses. but commercially it will
furnish an important link in a
coastwise air service which I
hope to see estbalished in the
near future. This service would
enable people of Southeast Al
aska to travel to Cordova, Val
i dez, Anchorage or Seward with
j out flying first into Fairbanks,
! which is so much out of their
i way.”
Virtually completed in all its
; details the new Yakutat field has
all main runways concreted.

ector of priorities, issued an or
der effective July 29. giving a
preference rating of A-3 mat
erial for production of mining
machinery for underground and
] oncn-cut production of coal or
| anv materials produced with a
view to extracting their metal
lic content.
The issuance of this order,
s.orelv needed by the mining in
dust r v. culminates several
months of effort by the American
Mining Congress in cooperation
with mining men over the entire
nation. A former priority order
was issued early last month cov
ering current repair and main
tenance items needed to maintain
uninterrupted production which
applies to all branches of mining
and quarrying including non-met
allie minerals.
The new order should do much
to solve a problem which has
been becoming constantly more
acute and will permit continued
l and increased production of min
erals fundamental to our defense
effort.

Registrants Get
O
Earning By Gov.
Selective Service regulations
make it mandatory for every reg
istrant to have his registration;
certificate in his possession at ail!
times and to display it upon re-!
quest of proper authorities, Gov.:
Ernest Gruening warned all Al
aska registrants.
Gov. Gruening pointed cut
that the regulations provide:
“The registrant must have his
registration certificate in his per
sonal possession at all times and.
upon request, must exhibit it to
any law enforcement officer, any
Selective Service official of Na
tional or of a State Headquarters
or any member of the local
board or board of appeal.-’
Failure of a registrant to have
his registration certificate in his
personal possession or to exhibit:
it upon request of authorized per!
sons, constitutes a violation of;
the regulations and. in addition,1
shall be construed as prima facie
evidence of his failure to regis
ter, Gov. Gruening said.
oGv. Gruening also called to'
attention that regulations per
taining to late registration make
it compulsory that, “Every per
son subject to registration who
for any reason failed to register
on the day fixed by the President
for his registration must present
himself for and submit to regis
tration before a local board.-’
“This means,“the Governor em
phasized, (“that every person sub
jeet to registration on January
22, 1941, or July 1, 1941 must
register if he has not already
done so,” Governor Gruening de
clared.
Violation of the regulations
may cause a delinquent to be
penalized by fine or imprison
ment or both, it is pointed out.
Wood Guns For
U. S. Troops In
West War Games
LONGVIEW, Wash., Aug. —
The Commander of the 4th Army!
General John Deitt, said that'
part of the troops now engaged j
in war maneuvers in the Pacific j
Northwest are using wooden
guns because new outposts in the
Caribbean and elsewhere have
the first call for arms.
DeWitt, in replying to a crit
icism of the lack of sufficient
guns to supply all the 100,000
men engaged in the war games,
said:
"If the troops are not equipped
the way the people want, it is
the fault of the people.”
Hitler could save himself a
great deal of trouble if he only
knew our language better. He
would have known, for instance,
that in English "peace” has al
ways been a synonym for “vic
tory.”
