G ARTERIES The destruction by British bombers of two of the largest hydroelectric power dams in Germany was not alone one of the most spectacular feats of the war—it came as an especially heavy blow to the! Nazi industrial machine of the Ruhr Valley. The dams broken by the Royal Air Force at- tacks were important units of the power supply for many hundreds—even thousands—of Nazi war plants. | Together they impounded 336,000,000 tons of water— a great reservoir of electrical horsepower. Although they served an industrial area already hard and fre- | quently pounded by Allied bombers, the loss of the dams greatly aggravates the harm to Nazi war in- { eight hours, the try moves up to must hold down wages), or the i essarily made at dustries.

Dan T. Kennedy, of Nenana, who was to have charge of the pack train service into the McKinley National Park on the Alaska Railroad, left for Alaska from the States with 16 Montana range horses.
