White House Says Marketing
From Bonneville and Grand
Coulee Will Be Combined
AS AID TO DEFENSE PLANTS
One Aim Is To Speed Up Supply
of Strategic Minerals Found
In Pacific Coast Region
WASHINGTON, The Ad
ministration moved to combine a
potential 2,400,000 kilowatts of
government hydro-electric pow
qjr from the Columbia River to
meet prospective national de
fense requirements in the Pac
ific Northwest.
A White House statement dis
closed that President Roosevelt
and Secretary Ickes were pre
paring an executive order com
bining the marketing of electric
energy produced at the Bonne
ville and Grand Coulee Dams on
the river in Washington and Ore
gon.
Interior Department officials
said that the combined power
could be used by national de
fense industries to manufacture
aircraft, ordnance, munitions
and ships from Western raw
materials.
The White House statement
said that the Bonneville admin
istration, with headquarters at
Portland, Ore., under command
of Paul J. Raver, would become
the marketing agency, for both
power projects. Mr. Rover, 46, a
native of Logansport, Lnd., and
former chairman of the Illinois
Commerce Commission, became
Bonneville administrator Aug.
21.
“By combining the marketing
«f power produced at the Bonne
ville and Grand Coulee Dams
under one marketing agency,”
the White House statement said,
“the transmission network now
under construction by the Bonne
ville power administration will
carry the low-cost power from
both developments throughout
the Pacific Northwest.
“The present emergency mak
es even more pressing the need
for coordinating the power facil
ities of the two projects and for
marketing the power in the re
gion.
“The present national defense
providing ia single .agency for
emergency makes evident the
fact that the many strategic and
critical mineral reserves found
in the Pacific Northwest are a
matter of national interest. An
abundance of low-cost electric
power available in the Columbia
River region will accelerate the
[supply of necessary minerals for
national defense, because electri
city is an important factor in the
processing of many of these min
erals. It will also provide power
for war industries in this re
gion.”
Grand Coulee would begin to
produce power in 1941, officials
said. Bonneville is now in op
eration with commitments of 106,
850 kilowatts to industries and
public piower agencies. Officials
said that about 300,000 kilowatts
would be available from Bonne
ville on the transmission net
work within 12 months.
Since taking charge at Bonne
ville, Mr. Raver has executed
contracts for the sale of govern
ment power to the Aluminum
Company of America, the Sierra
Iron Company, the Portland
(Ore) General Electric Company
and adjacent cities, towns, mun
icipalities and public utility dis
tricts.

Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
The regular board meeting of
the Northwestern Alaska Cham
ber of Commerce met at the Nev
ada Grill with President B. J.
McConaghy presiding.
Mr. A. L. Watkins of Taylor,
Alaska was a guest of the Cham
ber at the meeting of the board.
After the disposition of the
routine business, Mr. Watkins
brought to the attention of the
Chamber the urgent necessity of
building some sort of housing at
the Serpentine Hot Springs. The
landing field which is now about
completed will be available to be
used and unless there is some
sort of habitation the benefits of
the medicinal waters cannot be
usd to advantage. i
After general discussion, on
motion, the Chamber decided to
take up the subject of housing
at the Serpentine Hot Springs as
a project and President McCon
aghy appointed Mr. H. G. Miller
as Chairman with power to ap
point his own committee to take
up the matter in the very near
future and to have a report at
the next meeting.
The discussion suggested sever
al features. One was to open a
subscription list and ask all Kou
garokers to subscribe towards a
fund for the purpose and another
suggestion was made that a cor
poration be organized for the
purpose of taking care and fur
nishing the facilities for the de
velopment of the benefits to be
made availbale to all the people
of the Second Division.
It was also stated that several
attempts have been made to in
terest government agencies to as
sist in this but so far have been
unsuccessful and it is believed
that it would be impossible to ob
tain help from government sourc
es and if we wish to have such
a place established it must be
done by private or public effort.
Undoubtedly the committee will
have a report at the next meet
ing with further recommenda
tions and immediate action will
be taken to bring the matter to
a successful conclusion.

PROPER FOOD
COMBINATIONS
By Benjamin Gaylord-Hauser,
Food Scientist
Build vitality when the sun
shines. Summer time has become
known as the healthiest time of
the year. There are fewer colds
and less sickness. In general,
summer weather permits more
out-of-door activity which means
more exercise and more fresh air
as well as more deep breathing.
Summer gives us ithe availability
of garden and fresh vegetables
and fruits at lower prices.
Building reserves during the
summer months and higher tern
perature callsf or more perspira
tion. Summer time is body clean
ing time for many, people. It sim
plifies the problem of reducing
the carbohydrate and fat calories
cuts down on rich foods and the
acid forming foods. Vitimin and
mineral rich foods properly ncur
ish every body cell to eliminate
the accumulated poisons. One
can make summer time, a pick
up time for vitality, and reserve
resistance means better health
the year around.
Summer food therefore should
consist largely of fresh fruits and
vegetables which are rich in both
essential minerals and vitimins.
Vitimin ,A is found in yellow
fruits and vegetables —apricots,
peaches, carrots, sweet potatoes,
etc.
Vitimin A has been called the
anti-infection vitimin. Ift can be
stored in the liver to be used for
the eyes and for resistance to in
fection, increasing the life span.
Found in all fruits and vegetabl
es.
Vitimin D is found in foods of
a high fat content subject to
sunshine. The action of the sun’s
rays upon the human skin pro
duces Vitimin D.
Vitimin B is found in most
vegetables and in all whole
grains, as is Vitimin E.
These minerals are primary
: needs for bone building, for the
teeth and nai s, for digestion, en
zyme activation, hear', nerve and
, muscle functions, iron balance,
blood building. The various food
elements required by the body
| for normal functioning are scat
tered throughout main foods. It
I is well therefore, to select a wide
: variety of foods u'dng mostly the
r-1-, $ •• - v* (-J yrncf ^ } jjV^lp^
whole-grains and nuts. Summer
time is juice time. The pure un
sweetened fruit juices are far su
perior to the many soda fountain
concoctions. Use fresh juices of
alt kinds liberally.'and you will
experience the pick-up that
i won’t let you down.
Celery and Grape-fruit juice—
The one counting calories will
enjoy this—one-third glass cel
ery juice, two-third glass grape
fruit juice. This combination, by
the way happens to be excellent
for one with rheumatism and ar
thritic conditions.
Carrot and Apple juice —Mix
1 equal portions of carrot and ap
ple juice.
