BUTTER OUTPUT
BELOW AVERAGE

Montana dairy products man.

sharp reduction in the amount
of butter produced, according to
a report from the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics.
More butterfat was being di-
verified to manufacture of cheese

pounds of butter were made in
Montana creameries, 14.2 per
cent below a year before and
% per cent under the five-year

TWO ONERS
NEAR MANILA

Radio listeners in Hardin
were paying especially close at
tention to news broadcaSts this
week, listening for the names
of John Macleod and I.yall E.
Dillon among the names of lib
Grated prisoners of the japanese
on LuzOn.
It is thought by relatives
here that the two boys are in
the same prison camp, but
there has been nothing to iudi-
cate just where it is or which
one. It seems reasonably certain
that both are on Luzon and
that the camp in which they
are imprisoned is somewhere
near Manila.
Mrs. Lille A. Macleod and
Mrs. Grace Dillon, mothers of
the two boys, have received
messages from them within the
last two or three weeks.
Macleod was able to tell his
mother that he had received
mail and a Christmas box and
that he was in good health.
The card was dated May 6,
1914, and had come through
Russia. The card from Dillon
was dated Apr. 20, 1914. He al
so had received mail and was
well. Both cards were typewrit-
ten forms, with not much OPP
portunity for the boys to give
any personal messages. Accord
ing to these cards and others
received previously, both are in
what the Japanese designate as
Camp No. 3. 1t is in the Phil
ippines.
Macleod and Dillon graduated
from Hardin high school to-
gether with the class of 1910
and were both on the football
team while in high school. They
enlisted in the army together
in March of 1941 and were sta
toned on the Philippines at
the time of the Jap attack.

TRUCK BUYERS
TO MEET RULES

Warning that prospective pur-
chasers of trucks should make
certain they can meet Office of
Defense transportation require
ments for their operation be-
fore the sale is completed, was
given today by District Manag-
err Fred A. Noble, Butte.
To obtain a certificate Of war
necessity for the operation of a
truck, it must be shown that
its operation is necessary to the
war effort or the maintenance
of civilian economy, and that
present service is inadequate.
No gasoline allOtmentS will
be made for a truck until the
certificate of war necessity is
issued by the ODT, for many
purchasers of vehicles within
recent months have been left
without the permission to OPP
crate.
The critical shortages of
trucks, tires, repair parts, gaso-
line, and manpoWer had made
it necessary that the restrictions
be placed upon new or expand
ed operations, officials said.
The increased tempo of the
wal effort had head to short
ages of vital transportation
facilities, and the ODT advises
that before a truck is purchased
it first be determined whether
permission can be obtained Tor
its operation.
