This year she surveyed 20 farms, discovering hazards such as loose boards and ladder rungs, doors on one hinge, careless use of matches, chimneys needing cleaning, no containers for hot ashes, rubbish piled in buildings, and faulty electrical wiring. On her own farm she helped in repairing broken farm equipment, fences and steps, placed matches in a metal container out of the reach of her small brother, and made a ladder to reach the attic easily.

With the total depletion of food stocks and the ever increasing demands of total war in the homelands of our Allies, comes a growing demand for food. This demand coupled with the lessening of the submarine menace and increased production at homo, has made ,lt possible for us to increase our exports of food. It is reported that in the first ten months of this year, beef and veal shipped under e amounted to 1.2 percent of the nation's supply, while in 1942, we shipped only 0.3 percent of our supply. Lamb, mutton and pork exports during the first ten months of 1943 also showed increases. At the same time, we have ree subceived as reverse stantial amounts of beef, veal, lamb and mutton from Australia and New Zealand. These countries are now supplying most of the food requirements for our forces Relain the Southwest Pacific. tively small amounts of butter and canned vegetables, of which we are short, are being exported under One of our own Utah Sailors who recently returned from England after successfully delivering e his cargo of food, reports that the people of that Allied country are only getting enough food to exist, and yet we know that their condition is better than in the land of our occupied No modern industry can survive rapidly changing conditions of the present day by adhering strictly to general rules of the past. No Industry realizes this better than metal mining of Utah. Extensive staffs of research en- lend-leasgineers Are at work first on problems of winning the war and second upon the welfare of the industry and its workers in the postwar era. As metal mining normally employs directly and indirectly apthe population proximately one-hal- f of the state, it can readily be seen of the that much of the state in the postwar era depends upon the metal Industry. Despite the progress made in the field of lighter metals, which in many instances will affect the metals, the metal mining Industry is looking forward to the future with optimism. Copper, lead and zinc as well as the precious metals, gold and silver, will be greatly in demand in the postwar reconstruction period. lend-leasAt the present rate of production, however, there will undoubtedly be considerable copper, lead and zine above ground and in fabricated form when hostilities cease. Eventually this metal will find its way into constructive effort, but in order to avert a complete unbalancing of the metal mining industry when the fighting is over, and before the reconstruction era actually takes hold, it has been sug- Allies. gested that the government stockpile metals against a shortage In the future. This plan is meeting with favor In Industrial, labor and governmental circles, as It would permit development in an industry which has badly depleted its reserves in an effort to supply the war demand. In addition it would be good insurance for a nation, against the possibility of not finding ore bodies for the future. well-bein- ...Ltei.. hall, ANT?

In club work five years, the girl canned 4,088 quarts of foods, which she values at $632.00. She also learned how to prepare foods for freezing and dehydration. Beth took care of her aunt's fifteen-roohouse and cooked for three men for six weeks. In addition, she prepared and served 483 meals and 3,468 dishes, and baked 108 loaves of bread.

This is particularly true In the metal mining Industry.
