LIONS HEAR TALK ON
MAKING OF HARDBOARD
Conservation practices of the
large lumber companies pay off in
a good many wavs and one of the
most useful and profitable is the
product hardboard or fiberboard.

gave an interesting talk at the
Lions meeting last night about the
manufacture of hardboard. Mr.
Smith knows whereof he speaks
since he was a press operator for
several years for the Weyerhauser
company. The press operation is
but one of the steps in the making
of the product—pressing together
wood chips under tremendous heat
and pressure. He illustrated his

tion.

DEFENSE WOULD BE MORE
EFFECTIVE IF CANADA WOULD
HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
SAN DIEGO, Calif. UP) — The
Commander-in-Chief of the North
American Air Defense Command
says the defense setup would be
more effective if Canada would
arm with nuclear weapons.
Gen. John Gerhart made the ob
servation at an interview at a
ceremony marking withdrawal of
a U.S. Navy fighter squadron from
his command.
He said Canada’s Bomarc mis
siles were ineffective because they
lacked nuclear warheads.
However, he praised the Royal
Canadian Air Force for a “tre
mendous job” with its convention
al weapons.

GRATIFIED PRISONER . . .
RACINE, Wis. UP> — A prisoner
who broke out of the Racine
County Jail Feb. 24, mailed the
keys he used in his escape to
Sheriff Rudolph Spieker yesterday.
What griped the sheriff most
was that he had to pay 32 cents
additional postage on the letter
which carried the keys—and they
no longer fit locks in the jail.
The keys were mailed from
Little Rock, Ark., by Melvin
Barnes, 34, who had been held
on a burglary charge.
All locks in the county jail
building were changed after the
escape.
