...Miller Jr., 20, Notre Dame student; in a private-plane crash; at Milwaukee's General Mitchell Field. An All-America tackle and team captain at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne and a sportsman ever since, Miller took over the family brewery in 1947, with shrewd advertising (for year-round, quality trade) and an expanded plant and distribution network nearly quadrupled annual sales in six years, putting Miller among the top ten U.S. beer producers...
...precleaning turkeys so that they can be shoved into the oven with little work beforehand, the Swansons changed turkey from a Thanksgiving dish to a year-round habit, thereby doubling U.S. turkey-eating. Last week, at their newest $2,000,000 plant at Modesto, Calif., the Swansons were getting into peak production of a new product: a pre-stuffed frozen turkey. In four months production has jumped 50%, to 15,000 birds a day. Last week, by adding a night shift, the Swansons boosted output to 18,000 (about 350,000 Ibs.) daily, and they still cannot catch up with...

...important difficulty would remain under a year-round setup: whether to begin actual admission as well as consideration in the autumn. Under the Yale program, students' school advisers were told how the applicants ranked--tentatively accepted, undecided, or rejected, and the student could, accordingly, apply elsewhere. A more sensible solution, it seems, would be to take the pressure off the applicant as soon as possible by immediately admitting acceptable students. To do this, however, would require a uniform reply date among colleges. An applicant to Princeton, for example, otherwise might not accept admission there before hearing from Harvard or Yale...
...Montana's eastern plains. In lusty growth (its population has swelled by 51% since 1940), it is building new towns and industry on a solid base of natural treasures: rich grainland including the nation's top wheat-producing county (Whitman County, Wash.), lush wild-grass valleys providing year-round range for sheep and cattle, the U.S.'s last great stand of valuable whitepine lumber and huge mineral resources in Washington's Metaline and Idaho's Coeur d'Alene gulches and in Butte's mile-high hill...
