Subject: printing columns into a file

Hi,
I will really appreciate any help on this!
I have a file looking like the following
date month year
12 5 1982
30 6 1982
3 1982
28 1877
30 2 1888
As you can see, my file has blanks in a column, but I like to keep it
that way.
When I tried to use awk to print each column into a separate file
(date.txt, month.txt, and year.txt),
it doesn't retain the blank information on emacs but moves the value
below upward to cover the blank. So, it'd be like
date.txt
12
30
28
30
month.txt
5
6
3
2
How can I keep the blank as it is in the original fiile?
Please help.
