Inc Army ana navy VI VIC
United States Thursday after
noon joined in a salute to their
dungaree- clad co-workers for
victory, the men and women OF
the Hacker Boat Company,
when the coveted Army Navy
,"E' award was presented to
them in one of the most i'm
pressive patriotic ceremonies
ever staged here.
In a setting of giant battle
ship-gray patrol boats ready for
battle action, and from a stage
surmounted by the flagS of the
United Nations, the "E' pennant
for outstanding contribution to
American Freedom was pre-
sented to President S. Dudley
McCready, of Hackers, by Colo
mel Ernest B. Gray, chief OF the
second Transportation z o e,
New York, in behalf of Under
Secretary of War Robert p.
Patterson.
The Nays part in the award
was handled by Lieut.. Com
mander r. H. Peters, U.S.N.R.,
industrial relations officer for
Michigan who awarded lapel
pins to Hacker employees, in be-
half of Under Secretary of the
Navy Frank Knox
VETERAN HONORED
A highlight of the stirring
ceremony was the appearance of
a veteran of Buna, New Guinea,
youthful Pfc. Floyd Lambert, an
army hospital pa ent, who
pinned the "E' tokens on en-
ployes T. Leo Flood and Abra-
ham Debate - honors which
were officially accepted by Supt.
John Tesmer, a boatbuilder OF
43 years experience and Hack
er employee before the company
established here "a years ago.
Lamberts appearance brought
thrill TO the audience. A native
of Manistee County, Mich, he
fought at Buna with the trans
portation corps and in the line
of duty faced mixed assort-
ment Of Jap dive bombers and
Zeros. A so caliber bullet went
through his chest; shrapnel
gouged an ll-inch wound in his
side and his left wrist was
broken in five places. His thanks
to the Hacker employees, and his
handshakes to their representa-
tives brought the audience to its
feet in salute.

Most Of the news we hear now
adays about aircraft is concerned
with the bombers and fighters that
are helping to conquer the Axis.
But the war has also pushed ahead
research on the helicopter, ro-
tary-winged aircraft which seems
almost sure to play an important
role in postwar aviation.
Developed much more rapidly
during the war years, because of
potential military uses, the hell
copter has aroused a lot of COM
ment among experts in the field.
Some are optimistic, some pessi-
mistic. But the evidence indicates
that the helicopter is now much
closer to being a practicable air.
craft than ever before, and num-
ber of companies have been flying
helicopters and putting them
through difficult tests.
There are many possible uses
the Army and Navy could make of
helicopters if they were available
today in any quantity, and it is
possible that these rotary aircraft
may see active duty. One important
military application of the hell
copter would be its use in anti
submarine patrol. Because it re-
quires no space in which to take
off, a helicopter could be assigned
to a ship and patrol the waters
through which it was passing and
effectively guard against surprise
attacks by enemy submarines.
The Coast Guard in its rescue
service could make very good use

College Football

College football has now come to
a crisis which must be met. This
crisis concerns certain rule changes,
notably the present kickoff night
mare, which must be met to help
give the college game a fair break
with the professional side. Any ad-
vancement among such lines has
been blocked so far by Bill Bingham
of Harvard, chairman Of the rules
committee. Dana Bible of Texas and
others who have become stubborn
and completely out Of line with the
wishes Of the players. the public.

football back where it belongs. Lou

perately to have such a meeting.

York harbor in which medical sup
plies were flown to an isolated
spot which was cut off by weather
conditions from ordinary transpor-
tation.
A helicopter must be able to rise
vertically from the ground, travel
in any direction, hover motionless
in the air and make a vertical
descent with power on or off. A
helicopter that Mr.. or Mrs. Jones
can fly must be able to do all these
things with a minimum of simpli-
fled control in order to be practical.
One of the major problems in
the helicopter is that Of achieving
stability in flight. Helicopter de-
signers have worked on this prob
lem for some time. One of the
most recent developments in this
field is incorporated in the hell
copter recently announced by the
Bell Aircraft Corporation of Buff
falo, New York. In this craft. the
two-bladed rotor is so adjusted
that it tends to stay in horizontal
plane even if the cabin of the ship
encounters gusts of wind. This
makes the helicopter very stable in
flight, and the development prom
ises simplified controls and simpli-
fled operation.
The Bell helicopter was devel-
oped after is years of research by
Arthur M. Young.
The Bell helicopter is being de-
veloped as part of that COM
pany's overall war program, but
company officials are confident that
their helicopter will have many
important commercial uses in
peace time.

Having been with Comdr. Jack
Dempsey at his coast guard post I
can verify everything he says-in-
cluding his statement that over so

in can't play any sort Of game-in-
cluding the not too subtle act Of
chinning themselves.
MANY of them," Jack says,

whole picture is far worse than
most people know"
Starting Too Late
This physical development and
physical improvement must begin
at earlier school ages.
There is no reason why kids of
ten should not be taught at least to
swim. run and jump. Between the
ages of IL and 16. they should not
only be taught games, but in addi.
ton should be given better instruc-
ton and closer inspection.
One or two leading teams are nev-
er enough. There should be as
many teams as space will allow.
Nurmi once told me that as a kid
he had to jog to school. IL miles
away. and then walk or jog back.
ION a general average" he said,
II covered around Is miles day on
foot. So did many other kids in our
neighborhood." Strong, active legs
are among the essentials and legs
don't happen to thrive on lack Of
use.
West Point and Annapolis have
ideal athletic programs for every
one. Many colleges have good pro-
grams. But as a rule these pro-
grams start about four years late.
Ty Cobb was a good ballplayer
at the age Of IL and his legs car
ried him through "a years Of rugged
big-league competition.
Bobby Jones was playing golf at
the age Of eight and his legs were
strong factor through his IL major
championships later on.
Bob Feller was building up stout
legs and a strong right arm when
he was ten.
Millions of kids get no such
chance. But they should be given a
far better chance than they have
known in past years-or know today.
When 100. 900 march up to an army
base and $4,000 must turn back. no
further argument Is required. But
mere words are not going to help.
Some vital and early action is need
ed today more than ever before.
And if such action had been taken
before, more than 2,000,000 addition
al fit fighters would now be In our
army and navy.

INCREASED SORGHUM PLAN
TINGS SUGGESTED. Farmers
IN Western and Southwestern
States who wer unable to seed
usual feed grains due to unfav-
orable weather are being urgd
to use sorghums and Sudan grass
as emergency crops.
TheS crops can be seeded much
later than many other feed crops
and are considered excellent e.
mergency crops in case of severe
drought. Farmers should make
arrangements for this seed early
since seed dealers normally con-
vert their surplus supplies OF
grain sorghums seed to feed a.
bout this time of year. Supplies
of most principal varieties OF
grain sorghum seed are adequate
but forage sorghum and Sudan
grass seed are not sufficient in
some areas.

Weather Analyst
Predicts Moisture

If meteorological records cover.
ing a Cougar cycle may be a basis
for determination, there will be
ample moisture during a domi-
nant part of the growing season
n this and other agricultural
sections of Montana this year to
answer the precipitation problem
as far as crops are concerned.
This is on the authority of W.
B. Mears, weather analyst OF St.
Paul, who was in the state last
week and who predicted another
good wheat crop on the basis of
study of the 6O-year cycle. Near
worked out report in which he
applied mathematics in connec-
ton with government bulletins.
General concensus is that dur
ing the next several months there
will be heavy moisture, with
probably considerable snow i n

tural sections.

Postage IshkabibbIe
|! Develops From Wrong
Use OF Envelopes

PQstoffice patrons must not USE
air mail envelopes for other thar
air mail purposes. according tt
an order of the department.
The obvious intent of the rec
and blue bordered envelopes was
that of helping to facilitate the
handling of air mail.
Yet, it is pointed out. the pur.
pose stood to be defeated with
patrons using the envelopes for
carriage of three cents mail.
How the situation developed is
explained as follows:
Patrons purchased h un-
stamped air mail envelopes at a
stationery store and when they
used them they placed only three
cents postage on them, with the
result that some of the letters
threatened to make the air mail
without t h necessary higher
postage provision.
With postal employees already
with plenty of wartime work to
do, obviously, the situation was
making it necessary for them to
turn super postage stamp enum-
orators in justice to the intent of
the air mail system.
In p ain words. in ordinary
mail you wish to go by train, use
envelopes that are not edged in
red and blue. However. this ism t
to discourage the use of ordinary
envelopes for air mail use. for
what is al!-imptrtant in air mail
is that the necessary air mail
postage be used.
