ACM Workers
Are Wearers
Of e" Awards

The army and navy az" flag flies
today over the Great Falls reduction
works of the Anaconda Copgper Min
ing company, following presentation
ceremonies held in the Great Falls civic
center auditorium Friday night.
"The production achievements which
have earned army-navy honors have
been greatly aided by the cooperation
so ably fostered by Victory Labor
Management Committees which are
funetioning in Anaconda plants" said
a statement issued by Russell B. Caples,
manager Of the Great Falls reuction
works. "For the organizations ability
to maintain day and night schedules,
much credit is likewise due to the
army suppliers Of materials and equip
ment which are vital to continuous
about operations
"That so many of their former fellow
employees were serving in the armed
forces-7,029 as of November 30th-is
a constant spur to all Anaconda men
and women. All told 1888 members
of the Anaconda organization are work
ing at mine and furnace, press and
bench, laboratory and desk, as the tide
of metals flows faster and faster for
victory"
Col. Lloyd T. Jones, air officer of the
staff of Maj. Gen. Kenyon A. Joyce,
commanding general of the Ninth serv-
ice command, represented the army,
and Comdr. Bert II. Creighton, A. V. G.,
e. s. n. R., in charge of naval cadet
training in the northwest, represented
the navy at the ceremonies. Mr.. Caples
accepted the coveted award.
A similar award was made at the
Anaconda works on Thursday.

Have you read Respect Your Ma
terials" in the January issue of Readers
Digestl This article is timely and has
much food for thought in this period
of disappearing consumer goods, so you
should read it.
The author of this article cautions
his readers to look at the instructions
accompanying an article before at
tempting to place it in operation. In
previous issues, Montana Kilowatt, also,
has cautioned the users of electrical
equipment to read the instructions prior
to assembling, installing and placing
in service any electrical equipment. We
will agree with the author Of "Respeet
Your Materials" that writers of in
structions may badly need course in
the meaning of words. When the in
structions for electrical equipment are
not clear, it is probable that the author
of them knows too much or too little
about the equipment. When he knows
too much, he may take too much for
granted. When he knows too little the
answer is obvious.
However, from years of observation
in the electrical field, it is probable that
failure to read the instructions causes
far more troubles than poorly written
ones. Here are a few examples:
A gearmotor was placed in service in
mill without filling the gear case
with oil. In a few months, the unit
failed completely. If the instructions
had been read and followed, this failure
would not have occurred and loss of
production could have been saved.
A 220-volt motor was placed in service
on a 440-vOlt circuit. Ony a series of
fortunate circumstances saved burn
out. First, the instructions and dia-
gram nameplate should have been
checked to make sure the motor was
properly rated and connected for the
service voltage. In case this infOrma-
tion was lacking, suitable tests should
have been made to make sure the con-
nections were correct. Second, if prop
erly rated motor starter had been
used, the starter would have protected
the motor before a turnout occurred.
In this case the user, unwisely, was
economizing by not using a proper
starter.
The heater units in a motor starter
were installed up side down which
made them ineffective, although the
instructions pasted in the cover of the
starter were very clear on how the

URGE y. S. To
Build Sponge
Iron Plant

A memorial to the federal authorities
urging the establishment of a sponge
iron plant in Great Falls for treatment
of Running Wolf iron ores has been
introduced in the senate of the Mon
tana legislature and will doubtless pass
The memorial points to enormous
deposits of high-grade low-phosphOrous
content iron ORE in Fergus, Judith
Basin, Meagher and Cascade counties,
suitable under modern methods for eco
nomic production of high-grade sponge
iron which could be used as a substi
tute for scrap in steel production as
well as in Montana and other western
smelling operations in which scrap iron
is now used. The vast quantities of
natural gas and coal in the immediate
vicinity are also enumerated as reasons
for establishment of the plant at Great
Falls cor some other convenient point
in Montana"
Fathers of the measure are Senators
Stromnes, D., Cascade; McKenna, D.,
Judith Basin; Haight, D., Fergus, and
Fowlie, D., Meagher.

The stream pollution bill, which

heaters should be installed. Yes, the
motor burned up.
Some manufacturers now make their
heater units so they can only be in
stalled one way-the correct way. I'm
fortunately, it is impossible to make the
size of heater unit fool proof propO
sition, for some folks insist ON in
stalling heater units that are too large
for the motor
Motors are manufactured with built
in thermal protection to protect the
motor against turnout from sustained
overloads, but then it is difficult to
convince the average user because it
adds a small amount-with emphasis on
small-to the price of the motor.
We could go on and on, far into the
night, but instead we say:
Please Read Your Instructions First.

vided for improving Macarthur

supply. The water mains are To-
Gated under this road.
"The increased water consump-
ton causes a greater than propor-
tionate increase in the quantity of
purchased power" the Commits
sioners explained, land consequent
ly there is a corresponding in
crease in the per unit volume of wa
ter consumed"
The average cost of chemicals for
treating and purifying the water
for the last five years was $1.28 a
million gallons. The estimated
unit cost is figured at S1,66 in the
coming fiscal year, due principally
to the increase in the cost of chem
icalS.
The Water Department is self
sustaining-it exists primarily on
revenue from water users-and the
cut of approximately SO per cent
in its budget for the new fiscal year
in comparison with current ap-
preparations was tersely explained
in the budget as being due to the
elimination of construction items
which cannot be carried out be-
cause of WPB priorities.

over. All rooms are for transients
only and each guest will be limited
to a few days stay.
The $50 guest rooms are decorated
in green, gray and cinnamon color

McCarran May Ask
Inquiry on Outlay
To Expand Hospitals
Would Have Committee
Compare Amount Spent
With Results Obtuined

Continuing his fight to increase
wartime hospital accommodations
in Washington, Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, said last night
he may ask the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee soon to inquire into
how much has been spent thus far
out Of funds appropriated by Con-
gress for that purpose.
The Senator, who is member
of the appropriations group as we'll
as chairman of the District Com
mittee, said he would ask the Ap-
preparations Committee to find out
"how much has been spent for over
head expenses and compare that
with facilities actually obtained"
Should Apply Elsewhere.
The survey, he said, should apply
not only to the District, but else
where In addition to the funds
appropriated for emergency public
works in crowded defense areas
throughout the country, Congress
allotted SIT 100000 for similar prof.
ects in and around Washington, in
cluding hospitals, schools, sewer,
water and similar public facilities.
The planning of projects to pro-
vide additional hospital space was
the task of the Federal Works Agen-
cy, but the projects must pass
through the War Production Board
to obtain priorities for materials
before they can be carried out.
The latest development at WPB
was the issuance of letter on jan
uary 10 to all local hospitals, ask
ing them to report on how many
beds they could install in their
present buildings, without added
construction.
District Has Been Lucky.
Senator McCarran repeated yes
terday his criticism of proposals to
use all available floor space in ex-
isting hospitals to install more beds,
contending patients cannot be ade-
quately cared for under such condi-
tions.
"The District of Columbia has not
benefited from the surveys that have
been made" said Senator McCar-
ran, referring to a succession of hos
pital studies, land the Almighty has
been kind to us in that no epidemic
of particular note has come upon us

Lloyd of the Federal Security

clared yesterday.
DR.. Lloyd told 200 local educators

ness conference that Army statistics
have shown up the Indifferent job
done by physical instructors during
the last "a years in America.
Even now it is not enough to say

The impetus" given by the Army
and Navy has been great boost to
the physical condition of the Nation.
DR.. Lloyd said, and should s'help us
out" in the responsibility for keep
ing the country fit.
One of DR.. Lloyd's main reasons
for his displeasure with his own pro-
fession of physical education, he
said, was the love of educational
lingo" that afflicted the group a
few years ago. Instead of getting
down to training the youngsters, he
said, physical training experts were
fascinated" with the educational
bandwagon" and thought the more
frills they added to physical educa-
ton the better.
This concluding address of the
tWo-day conference was given at
Roosevelt High School, where dozens
of high school boys and girls gath
cred to exhibit what they had
learned in their new program of five

onstrated calisthenics and an "ob-

DR.. Joseph A. Murphy, director of
school services for the District
Health Department, also addressed
the group to stress the importance
of a physical examination to decide
how strenuous program each stu
dent could physically undertake. As
sistant Superintendent of Schools
Chester w. Holmes said the new ex-
panded physical education program
was working out well in the senior
high schools despite difficulties of
getting instructors and getting text
