OLD JUDGE: Its too bad. Claude that
more people don't know how important
these dried concentrates are to you farmers.
When you hear folks talking about distiers
wasting grain they just don't realize how
much of it is recovered and returned to the
farm in much more nourishing form than
the original grain"
GLEN "You said it. Judge. If we could
get all the distillers dried grains we need
we'd not only step up the production OF all
dairy products. but we'd fatten our beef
cattle and hogs much faster and get them
to market quicker"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1947-02-20

OLD JUDGE; Looks like you're going to
be better offon dairy feed this winter, Claude.
We've got a big crop OF wheat and the out
look for corn is fine, too.
CLAUDE That's right. Judge. hope the
distlllers will get more grain now.
OLD JUDGE You must be using distil-
lers dried grains Claude
CLAUDE 81 sure do. Judge. whenever
can get them. They are the best protein
leeds I've ever used. figure get anywhere
from rs to 80 per cent more butterfat when
use them in my dairy ration"

"Most Courageous Athlete''

PHILADELPHIA (PD - Monty Stratton, the six-foot-five baseball pitcher who lost his right leg nine years ago in a hunting accident, was hailed today as the "most courageous athlete of 1946''-but the modest, former Chicago White Sox hurler says he owes his return to the mound ito my wife and two kids"
 Stratton was saluted for his pitching feat last night by the Philadelphia Sports Writers asso- citation at the groups 43rd annual banquet.
 Despite an artificial leg, the ;ght-handed Stratton won Is games, including nine in a row, for the Sherman club of the Class C East Texas league last year. He lost eight.

 Byrd's plane and it's companion had good weather for the flight but the other four, coming a few hours later, flew mostly by instru- mentS.
 The sixth plane, piloted by Maj. Robert R. Wier, Philadelphia, was lost for a time in the overcast and out of radio contact with the base.
 The planes, each carrying five men, glided to their landings on skis.
 Byrd said the eastern task group might solve "the greatest geo. graphical problem left in the world-whether the Weddell sea cuts through, making James Els worth Land a huge island.
 He concurred in the belief that the expeditions stay will be shorter than planned because the ice pack may freeze over soon.
 Lieut.. Edgar Putnam, Seattle, on the second plane said it was beautiful trip"

BASKETBALL TEAM PREPAR- ING FOR ANCHORAGE TRIP

The Nome School Basketball team which has been invited to compete with other school teams at Anchorage during the Fur Ren- dezvous has been using all avail able time in practicing and polish ing up for this event.
 This is the first year that the school has had the opportunity to compete with other schools and fortunately it happens that Nome has a fairly good team this year. The boys have won 3 out of 4 league games which have been played this season. The league con- sists of a team from the AACS; the ACS; Officers of the Nome Post and Ordnance. To date the school team has won all games except that with the team from the Ord nance department.
 Members of the team are Bo Mozee, Walter Mccarthy, George Bourbon, Arnout Castel, William Ozenna, Harold Bell, Ed O'Connor, James Edwards, Leonard Schenk and Dean Bronson.
 This trip will be not only an athletic achievement but the first trip away from Nome for some of the boys.
 It is hoped that the people of Nome will support the boys and attend the dance being given to- night at the school gym to raise the necessary funds for the trip.

Safer Flying Plan Suggested

WASHINGTON, (P) - A pro- gram for improving safe flying on commercial lines was laid before the House commerce committee to- day by David L. Behncke, presi- dent of the Air Line Pilots asso- citation.
 The committee, seeking causes of, and cure for, plane disasters, heard the pilots spokesman sup plement his recently-suggested plea for restoration of an inde- pendent air safety board.
 His program includes:
 l. More stringent service testing of new aircraft and equipment;
 2. Improvement in approach and runway lighting;
 3. Provision of better function

can be a good one"

Col Frank A. Bogart, director of logistics for the Alaska Depart ment, indicated today that the Alaska Highway is primarily of value as means for emergency supply. This new travel road, run ming from Edmonton, Canada, to Fairbanks, through hundreds of miles of muskeg which is entirely uninhabited, is now in daily use, even in the recent rough weather.
 "To supply Alaska by truck over the Alaska Highway is not econo- mically feasible," he said. He re- lated that the Alaska Railroad or ganization ran a convoy of trucks over the highway during the re- cent West Coast shipping strike, and it found the costs so high that use of the route would be prohibi- tive from a commercial standpoint.
 Colonel Bogart said, however, that Trail connection with the United States is possible. Such a route has been surveyed"
 He could give no further details on the project, but in his opinion the railroad would be primarily of strategic value and would have to be built and initially maintained by the government, since at first it would not be commercially pro- fitable.

Admiral Byrd "Back HOne''

LITTLE AMERICA, Delaye0 (P)-Admiral Richard E. Byrd was back home" in the Antarctic today after leading six big trans port planes in a history-making flight over 600 miles of the South Polar seas.
 "I like this place. It's like sec ond home," said Byrd as he re- turned to the scene of his two pre- vious expeditions to the Antarctic
 His plane and five others took off from the deck of the carrier Philippine Sea, flew over the icy wastes and landed without serious mishap on a snoW-covered field laid out by an advance contingent of the navy's antarctic expedition.
 Upon landing Byrd predicted that within 25 years coal will be taken from the mountains fringing the Ross Sea and said that within a century other resources of the frigid continent will be opened up.
 One of the first things he wants to do, he said, is to revisit the nearby camp of his 1928 expedi- tion. The camp was located recent ly under 20 feet of snow but per fectly preserved.
 The six big two-engine planes, after jet-assisted takeoffs from the carrier, flew in pairs. They made the journey in between five and six hours passing enroute the ice breaker Northwind which was sta

Troops Will Be
 AirbOrne In Any Attack On Alaska
iBy Clarke Beach)

ANCHORAGE, OelayeO lP)- If Alaska ever is attacked, the en- emy will strike with airborne troops in the opinion of leading military authorities here.
 II can't imagine moving masses of troops across this country by land," Maj. Gen. Howard A. Craig who has ahe overall tactical com mand of both army and navy forces in Alaska and the Aleutians said today.
 Substantially the same state ment was made a few days ago by Col. Paul V. Kane, commander ol Task Force Frigid at Fairbanks, ln talks to group of news core spondents and photographers tour ing this area.
 Communications is the key to the strategy of Alaskan defense, in the opinion of both men. There is only one railroad, which is blocked, sometimes for weeks, in bad weather, and a few main gravel highways connecting coast al cities with one another and the Interior.
 Transporting large numbers of troops and supplies by surface travel presents the utmost diffi- culty. In winter any movement through the frozen wilderness is painfully slow and uncertain. And in summer the few muddy roads provide travel surfaces which are not much better than in winter. Sending mechanized divisions across the muskeg and tundra in the summer would be impossible, and in winter it could be done only by following the frozen creeks and rivers.
 "The greatest contribution that could be made to the security of Alaska would be the development of the country" said General Craig. eff substantial numbers of civilians settled here, they would help to build up communications They would make it economically feasible to extend the highway sys- tenn and improve and extend the railroad.
 "The housing is the limiting fea- ture just now," the general added however. Housing is so scarce that even those who are most eager tc see the Territory develop hope there will be no large influx foy several years, until homes can be be built.
 Yet, General Craig feels, Alaska gives settlers a chance to make good living-"a hard living but il

 4. Consideration of conditions that result in excessive pilot fa- tigue;
 5. Elimination of dangers in air craft, such as fire in flight.
