Three hundred and ninety-six individuals were listed for January, 1937, while 740 were being helped for the corresponding month last year. Although the relief roll is cut exactly in half, the January roll contains 17 more cases than for December when 84 were listed with 338 individual..

C, has announced. The Massena plant is the chief producing plant in the United States with the ! works at Alcoa, Tenn., producing 30 per cent of the total output and the plants at Badin, N. C, and Niag- ara Falls producing the remaining 29 per cent. The total amount of aluminum produced in 1936 was 224,929,000 pounds valued at $41,6J2,000 or about twice the amount ind value of the 1935 output, 119,295,000 pounds valued at $22,070 000. The first aluminum dredge boom, the longest in any metal, was placed in service during the past year. It's total length is 240 feet, of which the inner ^0 feet is steel and the outer 150 feet is aluminum. Because the outer end of the boom is so much lighter a isix-cubic-yard bucket was substi- tuted for one with four-cubic-yard capacity. Aluminum is BOW em- ployed for bridge floor systems, bridge railings, boat pilot houses, truck bodies and buses. The new narsh buggy for travel oil land or vater, used to prospect oil regions in swamps and bayous, has found $ use for- this light metal.
