Utah Has Lower Death Rate Than Nation As Whole From the fctandpolnt of major communicable diseases, Utah has a lower death rate than the nation as a whole, it is shown in the biennial bi-ennial report of the state board of health, released Saturday by Dr. William M. McKay, acting health commissioner. Utah not only has a low death rate but a high birth rate as well, keeping this state at the very top in what is known as the vital index, or ratio of birth over deaths. The ratio in 1939 was 276 births to every 100 deaths. With respect to smallpox, how ever, Utah is in a potentially dan AAA Committee Sets Allotments For Sugar Beets The 1941 sugar beet allotment has been set at 820,000 acres, a reduction reduc-tion from the approximate acreage of 990,000 acres planted in each of the three years 1938, 1939 and 1940 of 170,000 acres, David H. Jones chairman of the Utah county AAA committee said today. It has been estimated, he said, that a total of 805,000 acres will produce pro-duce a quantity of sugar sufficient to meet quota and carryover requirements, re-quirements, but because of the shrinkage which takes place in the distribution of the total acreage among Individual growers, the higher high-er figure of 820,000 acres is to be alloted. gerous situation.

The shows will be presented in the Lehl stake tabernacle at 7:30 sharp. It is necessary to begin at 7:30 because there are five shows to be presented and between each act a program number will be given. The Road Shows are entitled as follows: First ward "The Light of the World." Second ward "Heaven's Above. Third ward "Our Allegiance." Fourth ward "Beacon Light." Fifth ward "An Old FasUoned Locket and a Curl." Two prizes will be awarded to the first two winners, me casi winning win-ning the first prize will be awarded ten dollars and the second place winner will be awarded three dollars, dol-lars, it is stated. The judges will be from out oi town. The Road Shows were previously scheduled to have been presented on December 10, but because of the flu enidemic at that time in our city, It was deemed aavisaoie w postpone them untU a later date. With the Christmas rush it was decided de-cided by the M. L A. workers to set the date after Christmas and so Tuesday evening, January 14, was decided upon. smallpox. The report noted steady progress in immunization campaigns, improvement im-provement of water supplies, sewage sew-age disposal systems and swimming swim-ming pools, and the institution of more effective methods to insure safe food supplies and clean restaurants. restaur-ants. The Utah death rate per 100,000 population last year, from some of the more important communicable diseases, with comparative national death rates in parentheses, were as follows: Diphtheria, .9 (15) ; influenza, 12.8 (16.1); measles, .4 (.9); pneumonia, pneu-monia, 46.1, (56.2); respiratory tuberculosis, tu-berculosis, 15.6 (41.9) ; typhoid fever, .4 (1.5). There has been a dramatic reduction re-duction in the past pneumonia death rate, due almost entirely to the use of serums and the drugs sulapyri-dine sulapyri-dine and sulfathiozol. . It is "expected that Utah's already low tuberculosis death rate will be reduced even further as a result of the operation of the state tuberculosis tubercu-losis sanatorium.' In the two years covered by the report an anti-venereal disease campaign was instituted, insti-tuted, and st health officials expect ex-pect this will result in great social good. In a section of the report by Dr. J. L. Jones, director of the division of industrial hygiene, emphasis is placed on the necessity for more health work among the wage-earning class. "In the past," he said, "Our efforts ef-forts have been concentrated on the mother, the infant, the pre-school and the school child. Without relinquishing re-linquishing our efforts in these directions, di-rections, the time has come when the health of the ' bread-winners must come in for just and meritorious meritor-ious consideration. In fact, the whole emphasis of public health endeavor must be shifted to this group if we are to be guided bp the exigency of the problem with which we are today confronting, as evidenced evi-denced by our morbidity and mor tality records. Reference to these statistics shows that heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, cancer, pneumonia, pneu-monia, kidney disease, diabetes, syphilis, tuberculosis and industrial diseases are the great invalidaters and killers at the present time." The 1941 reduction, the first to be made in the total beet area since the sugar program began in 1934, Is required under the Sugar Act of 1937. Record production in the continental con-tinental beet area uuring the last-three last-three years has resulted in the accumulation ac-cumulation of larger than normal stocks of sugar. The Sugar Act requires re-quires that a balance be maintained i between an area's sugar production and its marketing quota and carryover, carry-over, he explained. ; o National Guard Induction Delayed The -my's Ninth corps headquarters head-quarters at San Franciscp, California, Cali-fornia, announced Saturday a delay de-lay in inducting into service the Fortieth division, comprising national na-tional guard units of California, Nevada Ne-vada and Utah. The announcement by Major General Gen-eral Ernest D. Peek, commanding the Ninth corps area, said the new induction would be in February, on a date yet to be set, instead of January Jan-uary 27. The reason for the pobvonement, he said, was that steady rains have delayed construction of facilities at camps where the men will be based. - The Fortieth division is. to be located lo-cated at Camp San Luis Obispo. Major William J. Lyons, acting adjutant general of Utah's national guard, said Saturday that about ten days would be required after date of induction before troops would leave Utah for their California training center. Utah's national guardsmen will be sent to Camp San Luis Obispo. Approximately Ap-proximately 2300 officers and men will be included in the movement. Lehi's Service battery are also included in-cluded in this group. County Adopts Lower Budget For Coming Year The 1941 Utah county budget, contemplating expenditures of $433,-663.83, $433,-663.83, was adopted Monday by the county commission, according to Marcellus Nielson of Mapleton, county auditor. The 1941 budget which is $71,297.17 less than the revised 1940 budget of $504,961 will not necessitate the raising of the county levy in 1941 or borrowing funds, according to Mr. Nielson. The only major changes, in the 1941 budget as compared with the original 1940 budget were reduction of the bond sinking fund from $54,-000 $54,-000 to $20,000; slicing the budget for memorials from $12,885 to $6885 and cutting the election fund from $15,-000 $15,-000 to $3000. Slashing of the bond sinking fund was possible because all bonded indebtedness in-debtedness of the county will be liquidated with the 1941 payment. The memorial funds were used to remodel the old Provo post office so this building might be used by Provo city for its offices, giving the county more room In the city and county building. With but little more work to be done in this line, the memorial fund was cut considerably, consid-erably, the commission said. The major increases were in the county infirmary fund and the sheriff's department. In the former for-mer the budget was raised from $27,-235 $27,-235 to $31,374.33 and in the latter from $20,800 to $22,200. Utah Banks Make 36,000 Loans Totaling 818,000,000 In 1910 Work Started On Duchesne Unit Of River Project Another unit of the Provo River project was started Monday when the Duchesne tunnel, 20 miles above Kamas and eight miles below Mirror Mir-ror lake, was "holed in" by the Utah Construction company, contractors. The holing-in procedure was attended at-tended by officials of the U. S. reclamation recla-mation bureau, and company officials. Workmen of the construction company com-pany have been doing preparatory work at the tunnel entrance site for nearly a month, following the reclamation recla-mation bureau's order to begin work. Work Is to be completed in 900 days. The tunnel will carry water from the north fork of the Duchesne river riv-er to the Provo river, for storage and distribution at the Deer Creek reservoir in Provo canyon. The first unit is for three miles of the lower half of the tunnel. Work is proceeding rapidly on another an-other link of the project, the Alpine-Draper Alpine-Draper tunnel, since the tunnel was holed through recently.

Mr. Jones reports that certain salesmen are in the county now, attempting to sell large quantities quan-tities of this fertilizer, promising farmers soil-building practice payments pay-ments in connection with the Agricultural Agri-cultural conservation Program. Mr. .Tnnfis savs "There are no Soli- build- practice payments for the applicator, applica-tor, of lime to soils." The Agricultural experts of the TTtah Experiment Station ana iai tension Service join with Mr. Jones in sending out this word of warn ing. The results of several years of analysis by members of the Experiment Ex-periment Station staff show that Utah soils contain an average of one million pounds lime In the upper up-per foot of soil on each acre, which is an excessive amount. Lime offered for fertilizer through these' salesmen Is further discouraged discour-aged because of the cost which is about 20 times more than the market mark-et price, rtaely ground limestone la being sold In central and eastern states for 75 cents to $150 per ton.

Mr. Hammond made public a new set of safety winter driving rules based on exhaustive research by the National Safety Council's Committee Commit-tee on Winter Driving Hazards. The recommendations are made from actual snow and ice conditions. Seven Safety Tips "l. Check brake linings for simultaneous sim-ultaneous gripping. Unequallzed brakes start skidding. 2. Tire chains are vital equipment equip-ment during bad snow or freezing weather. Good treads are helpful on wet pavement but cannot bite In on packed snow or ice Use chains. 3. Make sure that windshield wipers and defrosters are working, and that your lights are good. Use traffic beam when passing other cars. 4. Travel at reduced speeds on snow or ice, even when protected by chains, and WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN ON SLEDS. 5. Leave more room between you and the car ahead and don't try to pass on hills or curves and ap proach curves slowly. 6.
