MILWAUKEE, March 26-UPl Student machinists at boys' trade and technical high school were given a chance to carry the ball in war industry and scored a touchdown. This was the decision of Theo dore Trecker in accepting delivery on 198 spline shafts destined for assembly into milling machines vital tools In producing guns. tanks and all manner of weapons. The shafts were the output of S3 students, put to work several weeks ago on an 800-piece order placed by the Kearney & Trecker Co, under an agreement with the Milwaukee school board. The plan called for the company to furnish the materials, the boys to do the machining. The purpose was two-fold: Speed the production ef parts needed by the company fat .Its nlght-and-day race to tool the nation's armorers; and give the boys an opportunity to develop their skill under actual plant conditions. "We're getting no more accur ate work from any source," Treck er declared. "The boys exceeded my hopes. They are more skilled than I thought "This is the finest training the boys can get They are learning what industry requires. It helps them realize what their training means. And they are doing some thing for their country some thing to get tills thing (the war) cleaned up." Speaks Here 1 LL; L A. DAVIS DR.

Ray Carver, business agent of the AFL International Association of Machinists, largest Portland machinest group, said a survey showed that less than 40 per cent of the machine tools here were at work in war industries.

Shipyard Plan Change Seen PORTLAND, March 26 (ff)-Two of the projected 10 ways of the new Kaiser shipyard at Swan Island may be eliminated by sub stitution of a tanker contract for freighter award, O. A. Mechlin, martime commission resident en gineer, said Thursday. The original contract provided for construction of 70 freighters by the end of 1943. The maritime commission Wednesday cancelled that award with a new contract for 56 tankers, which Mechlin estimated could be built in the same period on eight ways. A contract for 30 additional freighters for the new Raiser yard at Vancouver, Wash, prob ably would not mean that ways would be increased over the 12 now under construction.

Gone with the Tin? No indeed I Not Hills Bros. Coffee! ' . When tin cans for coffee went "out the window by official order on March 1, many people who have been using Hills Bros. Coffee began to ask us, "How will you pack your coffee now?" It was perhaps only natu ral that they should ask us, because our com pany was the first to vacuum-pack coffee in cans. We originated the process nearly forty two years ago in July, 1900. By this time everyone realizes how important it ia that critical materials among them tin be conserved for the war requirements of our Nation. And today every manufacturer in the United States ia concerned, above all else, about what he can do to help speed victory. fortunately for all of us, we are part of a great country, and there's a bright aide to everything. We have learned how to make rubber out of oil; we are able to make silk out of coal;, we can make wool out of milk; we make underwear out of glass; and now thanks to the can manufacturers of America a way has been found to make vacuum-cans without tin. ' This has been accomplished by coating the same base blackplate with a synthetic enamel instead of vitally needed tin actually, a tinless can. - -Tbe officials directing the com plexities of production and conservation recognize that this new. type of can may dot ' prove suitable for all kinds of food products you have been accustomed to buying in tin. Many foods are still on the tmrestxicted list and will continue to be pKtMnma. far as coffee is concerned, the new can made of "enameled blackplate' has all the necessary protective qualities, and we have proved it to be entirely satisfactory for vacuum-packing. In appearance youd hardly know the difference except it has a soft, bronzy finish instead of looking as bright as a row dollar. Initial steps in the general plan to help save tin were put in motion long before the end of 1941. To thoroughly test enam eled blackplate before its complete adop tion, we have been using it for tops on some cans and bottoms on others, even while we were continuing to pack coffee in all-tin cans. This explains why grocers may for some time still have Hills Bros. Coffee in an assort ment of tin and enameled blackplate cans. . 1 It is inevitable that in the coming months you will see many of your old favor ite brands foods and other commodities in new sorts of packages. With some the change-over may take place slowly; With others it will happen fast. ! But whatever their wartime dress, you can continue to have faith in the brand names of favorite food products that you have come to depend on just as yon and we have faith in the future of America.
