More Tin Needed
For DEFINING Plants

Approximately 10000, 600 pounds
Of used tin cans were collected from
civilian sources through the nation
in the first quarter Of l945. But the
amount collected is still only about
half the tin needed to keep our de-
Timing plants operating at capacity,
and the need for tin ID increasin9.
Used tin can collections were IT,
000. 900 pounds in january $4,000. 900
pounds In February, and $4,000, 900
in March. Only tiny percentage Of
tin-about / per CENTS recovered
from each pound Of cans.
The end Of the war In Europe did
not lessen the need for tin. The
stepped-up activity in the Pacific
increased the demand for tin-pro-
tected items. Tropical climate and
dampness call for more and more
tin containers.
This country has no native tin
production, and before the war iua-
ported about 9O9s Of its tin from
Malaga and the East Indies, now IN
Japanese hands. As much al two
years may elapse after these mines
are recovered by the Allies before
tin in quantity may be expected.
In the meantime, we must obtain
our tin requirements through limit
ed imports from Bolivia, and from
increased civilian production Of tin
cans. On March 3, 1945, the Govern
ment placed newer and tighter com
trolls over less essential uses Of tin,
and with the end Of the war IN
Europe, none Of these controls have
been relaxed. The heavy demands
that will continue to be made On
tin during the war with Japan makes
1t essential that all housewives, res
taurants bakeries, hotels and indus
trial plants prepare and save tin cans
for collection and shipment to our
plants.

CITED FOR DISTINGUISHED
SERVICE

At An Advanced Italian Airbase-
A number of Montana men are
among the personnel of the S50th
Fighter Group, which has just been
cited for outstanding performance
of duty in action against the enemy
IN the Mediterranean Theater of
Operations. S/Sgt. Cecil H. Elliott
Eureka, is member of this Fight
er Group.
The award of the streamer of a
Distinguished Unit was made by
Major General John X. Cannon.
The Group, which was formed in
Great Britain in 1912, has been bv-
erseas for two years and has TAX
en- part in every major campaign in
the Mediterranean Theater.
The citation, read at the cere-
mony by Captain Walter Maciey of
Frackville, Pa, read in part as fol-
lows: in contributing to the sue
cess of the Operation Strangle, a
vital phase of the Allied effort
which resulted in the liberation of
Rome, the 350th Fighter Group per-
formed above and beyond the call
OF duty in rendering unique and
heroic services. OF their own Volt
ton and in addition to their desig-
mated duties, personnel within the
Group successfully interdicted sup
ply routes at such strategic points
as Tarquina, Grosseto, Leghorn and
Pisa, while continuously maintain
ing their regularly assigned recon
Nuisance patrols and sea searches
covering Corsica, Sardinia, Tunisia, /
Italy and the Tyrrhenian and Lii
gurian Seas. The outstanding lead
ership, tireless devotion to duty and
extraordinary heroism displayed by |
the officers and men of the 350th T
Fighter Group during combat op-
erations on April, 1914 have set
this Group above and apart from
other units involved in comparable
effort during the same period and
have brought credit upon them
selves and the military service of
the United States"
