RUSSIAN MINERS
BUILDING HOMES
ON 10-YEAR PLAN
I
—
<(/P) Newsfeatures>
MOSCOW, (/P) — Nearly 7,000
private cottages for miners of
U.S.S.R.’s Donbas are nearing
completion.
An announcement stated twice
as many Donbas miners are build
ing private homes this year over
last year and that more than 5,000
cottages were finished during the
summer.
In addition to the individual cot- 1
tages—which are being built by
the miners themselves with the aid
of bank credits and the collabora
tion of the mining authorities—
apartment houses and two-family
brick buildings are going up.
The Donbas was one of the most
devastated areas of the war.
Each miner can obtain a 10,000
rouble credit for a period of 10
years which he begins paying off
in equal installments a year after
he moves into his house.
Each miner building a home is
given—by his local Soviet—a plot
of land big enough for the house,
a small barn, chicken sheds and a
garden or orchard.
The cottages are of individual
design but retain the traditions of
Ukrainian architecture. They are
mostly built of stone and slag
blocks and usually have three
rooms.
WET DRILLING
REDUCES SILICOSIS
MOSCOW. (fF)—The newspaper i
“Medical Worker” annou nces
progress in the battle of silicosis, j
The paper states that experi
ments in the Urals in “wet drill
ing" have resulted in reductions
below the danger norm of dust in
the respiratory area of miners ex
amined. It was announced that the
largest mine in the Kizel coal ba
sin had now adopted the “wet
drilling” system.

Puts To Sea
POULSBO, Wash. OP)—The last

A holdover from another era,
the C. A. Thayer, a three-masted
schooner, departed the Pacific
Coast Codfish Co., pier here under
tow. She will cast off her tug at
Cape Flattery and sail some 1.600
miles direct to Unimak Pass in

Bering Sea, where she will spend
the summer fishing for cod.
Captain James Edward (Captain
Ed> Shields, master of the Thayer
