OUR IMMEDIATE WAR OBJECTIVE

We are happy to note that the federal government is giving
its official blessings to statements such as that of Joseph Clark
Grew, former ambassador to Japan and recently from Tokyo.
In a radio address, former Ambassador Grew, who is one of
our ablest and most observant diplomats, stated the Japanese
will fight with all the force and power at their command
until they are utterly crushed" Mr.. Grew stated, 1--WE are up
against a powerful fighting machine, a people whose morale
cannot and will not be broken even by successive defeats, who
will certainly not be broken by economic hardships, a people
who individually and collectively will gladly sacrifice their
lives for their Emperor and their nation, and can be brought
to earth only by complete defeat in battle"
That must be our present aim, complete defeat in battle. "
1t has taken us Americans a few months to realize that our old
conception of the Japanese was utterly erroneous. They are
not aimless, near-sighted little fellows, living in a romantic sort
of garden land and good only at making poor limitations of
products, which was the traditional misconception
Soon after December 7, 1941, we began to receive a
education in foreign affairs and we must take it to
heart. We must win the war decisively and we must win it
from a determined people who had the jump on us.

CAN SERVE ON HOME FRONT

A news release from state selective service headquarters this
week indicates one of our serious production bottlenecks and,
at the same time, gives Glass ga draft men an indication of
where their services may be more welcome even than in the
armed services.
Reports, apparently reliable, are that the Butte mines are
operating below capacity, in the face of a crying need for cop
per. Very soon, many hundreds more men will be needed to
produce other critical metals in Montana. Selective service
headquarters suggests that ga men, especially those with wives
and children, should attempt to place themselves in defense
industries, particularly mining. Men engaged in such work, it
adds, probably will have to be deferred indefinitely. However
persons engaged in non-essential activities should not cease
their present employment until their services are needed in
some essential activity" and each individual should inquire
into such work on the basis of his own experience and training.
Many ga men with families, in the face of no definite policy
regarding their draft status, have been attempting to determine
just where they can best fit into the war picture. The announce
ment from state selective service headquarters may help clarity
this problem for some of them, especially those who have skills
that may be utilized in a very important home front" activity.
State headquarters concludes, 1T will be considered a patriotic
act for a married registrant now engaged in a non-essential
industry to seek employment in a vital mining activity"

"OLD GENT AND MYSELF

A revelation of the good old American spirit, as well as
perfect labor relations, is given in a recent letter received
at the White House. 1t came from Bay City, Mich, where
Jake Sparkling, 60, and Percy Fogelsonger, 70, his assistant,
run one of Americas tniest units of production. But let Jake
Sparkling tell the story in his letter:
in the last IS months we have turned out approximately
$4,000 flanges. We work on an average of Is hours per
day 7 days per week. There is only 2 men in the shop. l
am 60 years old and my assistant is 70 years old he handles
all langes from IL inches down and l take them from IA
inches up to 80 inches. We feel owing to our age, and the
amount of work we are doing we are entitled to a pen
nant. l am enclosing 2 snap shots of the old gent and
myself, and a truckload of the finished product that we
got out from Friday night until Monday morning. Some
of the castings weigh 365 pounds. We are very glad that
we are able to help in this defense work. And it gives us
money to buy bonds and stamps"
Needless to say, WPB Chairman Nelson saw that "od gent
and myself got their well deserved recognition. In addition,
Mr.. Nelson authorized that the two-man plant head the list of
1900 other war plants enrolled in the war production drive,
some of them with more than $4,000 employees.
A WPB representative visited Sparling's shed in Bay City
and reported labor-management relations there as ideal.
Said Mr.. Sparkling: when we need money, l go over to the
pipe company that buys our flanges and get what we have
coming. We take out what we need for grub and living ex-
penses and buy bonds with what's left. What good would money
do for men like us anyway if we don't win? Now get out of
the way we've got work to do"
We don't believe we need to point any moral in this story
It's pretty obvious. Mr.. Sparings only trouble is that his
thinking has gone a lot farther than that of many of us. We
will have to catch up with him, and ask ourselves, too, What
good would money do for men like US anyway, if we don't win?

DESERVED ACCoLADE FOR RUSTY"

The State Press association of Montana, at its annual meetings, makes
awards to weekly newspapers of the state for the best editorial page,
the best front page, and other points of superiority. Last week, at the
meeting held in Butte, the editorial page of the Phillips County News
was pronounced the best in the state. AS is well known, this accolade
goes to Editor Rusty Larcombe, now a captain in or armed service,
being attached to the quarternaster corps at Fort Warren in Wyoming
1t was a deserved tribute. For some years past, Rusty has been forging
to the front as one of the most thoughtful, independent, entertaining
and forceful editorial writer's in the northwest. AS a matter of fact,
Montana is fortunate in the number of weekly papers which display
exceptional editorial talent. No state in the Union can claim a more
brilliant coterie of writer's than one composed of such fellows a Larcombe,

Letters to
the Editor
HOW FARANUF WAS NAMED
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
I was asked to tell your read
ers how come the P. o. Faranuf
got its name.
The pioneers along the Missouri
river community for a time had
their mail brought out by anyone
CT the neighbors and left at the
Teets home, sort of a post office.
But as that was out of the way
of some of the neighbors, they had
the mail left at the June Burke
home.
Then later, about 1927, Fred
Carnahan put in a filling station
and a small grocery store and the
mail was taken out there and left
at his little log building. A rural
route vas established and the place
had to have a name. Officials wrote
to Mrs. Myrtle Burke to send in
five names for them to select from.
She asked for suggestions and she
sent five names in. AS most CT us
thought 1t was far enough away
from any railroad, she with the
the other names sent in Faranuf
and from the five suggested Uncle
Sam selected it.
After the Fort Peck dam site
was decided upon the settlers
along the river sold out and moved
away. Canadian sold and so there
no one to go there that little
post office just died a natural
death and is a thing of the past
and those old neighbors scattered
10 the four winds.
