MONTANA PLANT
WINS VITA "A"

The Bitter Root Cannery at Hamil-
ton, Montana, has been granted the
War Food Administration Achieve
ment "a" award for outstanding ac-
complishment as a food professor, ac-
cording to word received from Lee
Marshall, director of the VIA Office
of Distribution, by William A. Allen,
district representative for this agency
Allan said the award has been
granted Jointly to management and
employees of the Hamilton plant for
their 194S performance record in can
ming fruit, dehydrating vegetables and
for plant expansion. The "a" flag,
together with symbolic lapel pins for
plant personnel, will be presented at
formal ceremonies now being ar
ranged
According to Allan, the War Food
Administration "a" is the highest
honor conferred by the government
for merit in the food processing in
dustry, and is equal in significance
to the Army-Navy "E' or the Mari
time M. The award is made only
to professors whose accomplishments
are judged truly outstanding.
The Office of Distribution represent
alive said that labor and management
at the Bitter Root Cannery merited
the "a" award by increasing their out
put of canned fruit 500 in 1943 over
the 1912 production and by construc-
ton of a new plant and installation
of equipment for dehydrating potatoes
and vegetables. Also constructed
was a 400-car capacity root cellar for
potato storage, one of the largest
in the country.

Measured by the sudden and lengthen-
ed strides the Allies have been making
i'm the last few days in France indica-
tions point strongly to a complete change
of tactics which have marked General
Montgomery's activities ever since he
started after ROmmel in Africa and
which were continued in the Italian cam

gomery is known for his deliberate, and

lie has been heralded as the British gen
eral who never moves until he has every
thing Just to his liking in the way of
equipment and so on. After two months,
gains by miles in France have typified
such tactics.
But in a weeks time, or less, the Ameri-
can forces have followed plunging tactics
and unusual speed has characterized the
fighting so much so that war writer's
agree that il appears to be race among
the various fighting contingents of
Yankee troops.
To those observers who expressed the
belief that once the invasion got under
way that it would become mad rush
for German borders. sweeping every
thing before it, the invasion has been dis
appointing. Eisenhower is no less caut-
been trained in a different school than
British generals and his tactics compared
to Montgomerys might be defined as i'm
petuouS. But no one who knows General
Ike will be in doubt. that once he puts
on steam, it means no stops and even
greater speed. 1t could be that the Amer
lean leaders and American troops have
caught the faster fever from the Rus
slams and that there has entered into the
war the element of contest as to who
shall be first to reach Berlin. Eisen-
hover is farther from Berlin than the
Russians but no farther from the Ger
man border itself There is much reason
now to believe that nothing will or can
stop the Allies speed and that Paris may
be reached and passed almost any hour,

that he has revised his time set for vic

There has been speeding up in the

equipment has permitted and he is add
ing miles to his advances.

atism, but surely the final stages of the

CONSISTENCY, SKIDOO!

The President has raised a big hula
baloo over the danger Of the people choos
ing "untrained, immature leaders to
guide the nation after next January and
then turns squarely against his own ad-
monitions. Try as one might. there Just
can't be found any evidence of Senator
Truman having had any training what
soever along the lines ''cOmmander-ln-
chief" and yet he would be in that posi-
ton. if elected and called to serve as
president Vice President Wallace has
had four years under the guiding hand
of the President; Wallace tried to make
the office something more than sine
cure and has made a number of trips
for Roosevelt In addition he has set in
on most cabinet meetings. If he had any
special ability or had gained some notion
of the responsibilities of the office, they
were ignored when the Democratic con
vention had the signal to drop him and
substitute the adroit e2natOr-p politician
from Missouri.
And so by his own actions Roosevelt
has emphasized a conclusion the people
pretty generally held anyway that the
commander-in-chief business was over
played and that the nation still counts on
a quartet of capable and experienced

WARTIME CONSTANTS
{ New York Times)

Most Americans are resigned, If not
cheerful, under the restrictions imposed
10y the war upon their pursuit of happi-
ness. Some complaining is heard, never
theless. There is murmuring at the scare
ity of such things as whisky, chewing
gum. nylon hosiery and touring gasoline
The need of waiting in line at the butch
er'S for a bit of meat is the subject of
good deal of conversation. Yet these "suf
ferings' could be worse. If we lived in
Great Britain they would be whole lot
worse
Consider some of the wartime con-
Strants the British endure. as listed by
The Outpost, American publication over
there. A citizen of that land can be pro-
secuted for setting out milk bottles that
have not been washed for wasting piece
of string; for throwing away scrap of
paper even as small as a bus ticket: for
tossing a crust of bread into the garbage
bin, forgetting that food costs sailors
lives.
Able-bodied civilians who drive to work,
doctors and clergymen only excepted.
commit miSdemeanors. Those entitled to
drive may be hailed into court for driving
along a route served by buses or trains.
And the waiting bus passenger who ell
bows his way aboard ahead of his turn
faces a heavy penalty.
To sell an American lend-leasa alarm
clock to person who has no permit to
buy one is unlawful. To change jobs
without government authorization is for
bidden. Likewise to ice a cake. And pub
keepers who run out of stock must still
keep their places open till the official
closing time, since pub, with or without
drinks, is social club needed by working
people.
The moral for us Americans with our
few petty wartime discomforts ought to
be plain. 1t will be time enough for us to
grouse when we are called upon for real
sacrifices.

Even the japanese listeners must be
slightly fed up with such statements,
which literally and actually interpreted
mean the japanese fleet is skulking in

out and fight.
For every minute which passes gives
the American fleet still greater super

other elements which contribute to naval

In other words, the japanese fleet will
