Before the snow is off the ground, Pratt & Whitney expects to have its factory-on-a-silver-platter turning out as many high-powered motors as are now being crated in the loading room of its old plant, sees no trouble ahead in filling the requirements of the U. S. Army and Navy, plus still other orders from overseas...
Last week the Swedish Academy of Sciences gave a good imitation of an arch housewife who, having made her family believe they would get nothing but pork & beans for supper, bounces beaming out of the kitchen with a big, beautiful platter of cookies.
