With many departments \at Massena Operations experi- encing^ their best productioirin re*nt history, Massena had a tight metal supply and had to obtain metal from outside sources in order to meet our production requirements. In 1966, Massena imported Alcoa plants as well as from government stockpile, from Norway and England. Things were pretty hectic for a while, as Alcoa adjusted to excessive need for metal, but by the year end arrange- ments had been made to ac- quire necessary metal, and the situation was back to normal. NEW EQUIPMENT New and additional equip- ment, necessitating expendi- ures in excess of $5.5 million, made possible* new and im- proved products and product packages in 1966. These ad- ditions of course, strengthened our competitive position within the aluminum industry. Additional meltingy equip- ment was installed urthe ingot plant to facilitate use of metal obtained from outside sources. Last year also saw the ad- dition in 140 Operations of new slug saws, chamfer in g machines and* a slug washing machine. The slugs made here are shipped to othei Alcoa plants for further fabrication into impact extrusion products. This was new business for Massena. A new Vaughn 12-die wire drawing • machine, now the largest wire drawirifmachine tli Mawent Operations, was In- stalled and put into production in 1966. This machine was in- stalled primarily to draw wira used in Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced products. It increased production of wire to meet customer demand. The IBM System-360, mak- ing Massena a link in the vast Alcoa Management Informa- tion System, was put into op- eration in 1966. In April, the world's . first all-aluminum unit train arriv- ed with, its first shipment of alumina from Alcoa's Mobile. (Ala.) refineries. Each of the aluminum -hoppers affords _a. payload bonus of 14,800 pounds of alumina over steel cars, thus helping in costs pf produc- tion.

Laurence White: said that he knows nothing about the,Lottery Law which provides that units of local gov- ernment 'may act as ticket sales agents. He has not received any noti- fication on the matter although State Tax Commissioner Joseph H. Murphy said the Association of Towns, the County Officers Association, and the Conference of Mayors will be contacted and their cooperation enlisted to bring information about the lot- tery to the attention of local of- ficials. ~ Mayor White said that he ex- pects to learn about the lot- tery at the Conference of May- ors which he and board mem- bers, who are also invited, will attend in Syracuse May 11. Asked if he thought the vil- lage would be interested' in handling the lottery as propos- ed by Commissioner Murphy. Mayor White added that he would have to know about the ramifications before he give any answer. He did say that he would be happy to go along with the pro- gram if there was numeration value for the village of Mas- sena. .'.,,• Brainard C. Rushlow, presi- dent of the National Bank of Northern New York, announced the designation of that bank as a selling agent for New York State's lottery tickets. Tickets will be sold at the National bank's three Watertown loca- tions and also at its branches in Massena, Lowville, Clayton and Croghan.

Al- Banks, telegraph offices, ho- tels and motels are the only commercial outlets authorized to sell tickets under the new statejqttery law.. Top prize in the lottery is $100,000. But it is not tax free. Should a married person with a family of four, including himself, spouse and two children win the 1 top prize, his take home win- nings would amount to slightly over $54,000. It would be less for a single person. The lottery is designed to raise funds for education yet the prize money offered is not tax free.
