PRODUCTION
County Agent Says Rural Folk
Make Real Contribution
to Victory.
Hard Work Brings New Record
in Spite of Labor and
Machine Shortage.

By far exceeding 1912 production
figures, Valley county farmers made
a major home front contribution to
victory this crop season, it was de-
clared today by County Agent James
K. McGibney.
When the home front decorations
are being handed out, the farmers
and farm women should get their
share" the county agent added.
These figures are the result of hard
work, in spite of handicaps brought
on by labor and machinery short
ages. The farmers patriotism is also
shown by their response to the ap-
peal for growing what are high
risk crops in this northern area :
both flax and beans"
The agent compiled comparative
1912 and 1943 production figures
which show many gains:

Valley Sergeant
Tells How Planes
Landed on Munda

1t took little planning, but planes
from his air forces fighter squadron
beat marine fliers to the first un-
official landing on Munda airfield
Staff Serg. Robert j. Sweetlng, Tor
merly of Frazer and son of Mrs
Catherine Sweeting of Wolf Point
related this week on his return from
18 months duty in the Pacific.
Sergeant Sweeting, who suffered
an injury while working on a plane,
has been given a medical discharge.
About Munda, he says, marines
who had taken the field had issued
orders no planes we're to land there
unless forced down by lack of gas.
His squadron's planes, in the vicin-
ity, so notified the marines. How
ever, on landing, it developed that
the emergency" required only
about five gallons of fuel for each
fighters tanks.
Sergeant SWeeting was squadron
welder and rattles off such names as
the New Hebrides and Guadalcanal
from long familiarity and residence.
When he left, some three months
ago, the squadron led in that area
plus 135 probables.
1t was a pilot of this same squad
ron who probably owes his life to
his ability to make faces like Jap,
a story that was cabled from the
South Pacific. With his plane dis
abled, the American flier parachut-
ed. AS he floated downward, several
zeros circled close. ("Thev always
shoot our pilots, if they can, when
they hit the Silk.') The American
wriggled and grimaced, exhibiting a
toothy grin. The ZeroS left. II don't
know what else they could have
thought; they must have figured
nim for a JAP" Sergeant Sweeting
added.
For folks grumbling about ration
ng at home, and he has met a few,
le recommends a steady eight
diet of dehydrated food. The
irSt few meals, he says, aren't bad
,ut it isn't long before "all dehydrat- /
ID foods have just the same taste"
Neat, too, was scarce but his squad
on supplemented its ration by
lunting in the jungles.
All in all, he says, combating the
ropic elements and sickness are
more serious problems than the
nemy, although the Japs are no
'ushover. Maintaining machinery in
humid conditions keeps
rews constantly busy. Clothing
ometimes rots almost overnight.

"I didn't like it, but I'd go back
if I were able" he con-
luded. "It's great to be back but as
ong as you can, you don't want to

Hottest air battle of this area saw 50 Flying Fortresses shoot down 30 out of 100 Axis inter- eeptors over the enemy air base at Gerbini, Sicily. The scrap lasted 15 minutes. Later raids, as many as 4 in "A hours, on Gerbini left the vital center of Axis airpower gravely damaged. Yesterday Allied troops landed on Sicily under Gen. Eisenhow- CT. War planes bombarded coastal defenses before the landing craft sped up the beaches. The com- munique called it a second front.
