The White House announced that all food production and distribution activities would be centered in it, including the agricultural adjustment agency, and food distribution powers and farm labor recruitment activities transferred from the war production board and the war manpower commission. Meat ' Slaughter Permits With the issuance of slaughter permits and dealer permits to farmers, butchers, meat packers and livestock dealers, Lee McKinnon chairman of the Rich county USDA war board, called attention to the following points of the meat management program which particularly concern farmers: 1. Farmers must remember that the permit number must be stamped on each wholesale cut unless he sells the meat directly to the consumer, in which case a tag on which the number appears will do. 2. In order to determine the number of points to collect for the meat delivered, the farmer should use OPA wholesale or retail charts. 3. All reports of sales, along with the red ration stamps collected, must be filed with the local war price and rationing board. Farm Machinery Released. The last remaining item of farm machinery needed for spring plowing, planting, tillage and early cultivation has been removed from government Tolhe NAVAL SUPPLY DEPOT IN NEED 96 OF EIPLOYEES Polly Tryphenia Bryson, the eldest citizen of Rich county died March 25, 1943, in Paris, Idaho.

War Positions at good pay for full or part time employes at Utahs new Naval Supply Depot at Clearfield are announced . by Captain Omar D. Conger, Prospective Officer in command of the Depot. Both men and women are needed on a full or part time basis immediately to handle supplies at the Depot. Particur larly those that are now employed in industries should place their efforts in a vital war job. Part time employment has been tested and found very effective in other war plants throughout the nation, Captain Conger pointed out, and it is our plan to see that similar employment ds instituted at the Clearfield Depot. If farmers, business men, and others now living in Utah can give at least a portion of their time to work at the Depot, it will air greatly in alleviating an acute housing shortage, in addition to assisting the war effort. Pay is good at the Clearfield Depot. A person can earn over ' $160.00 per d of all emmonth to start and ployes were promoted last month. . On a day basis, this figures more than $6 with a little over $9 for Saturday, when overtime is figured at $1.14 per hour. In other words, this wage amounts to cents more than one and per minute for a regular days work and almost two cents per minute on Saturday. No night or Sunday work is al one-thir- one-quart- er contemplated at present. Hot lunches may be secured at the new Depot cafeteria, where, a good meal, )comparable o those served in the city for $1.00 may be secured for 40 to 50 cents. Arrangements have been completed dormfor housing employes In near-bitories, and now under construction adjacent to the Depot are 200 new homes. Mm. of which will be available by May , y 1, 1943. It should be stressed that employes will work in the most modem buildings, using modem equipment for the handling of supplies. The safety factor is high, due largely to materials stored at the Depot. To apply for work at the Naval Supply Depot a person who is engaged in essential war work must present a cer- tificate of separation before being considered for a position. If you are not doing essential war work here is an opportunity to fight the Axis and still live in Utah. All applicants may apply directly to the Labor Board at the Depot in Clearfield, or if they wish, at the U. S. Civil Service Central Recruiting Office, 220 Federal Building, Salt Lake City; the office of the Recruiting Relopresentative, Naval Supply Depot, cated in the office of the U. S. Em- ployment Service in Ogden, Utah. Inquiries in other areas may be directed to U. S. Civil Service secretaries locat-- d in any first or second class post office, as well as to any U. S. Employment Service local office. SOLDIER WRITES LETTER Dear Friend: For the past four years with the exception of short Intervals due to transfer, or change of address, I have almost weekly received a copy of the Rich County Reaper and never has it been more appreciated then now. Being in the armed forces and away from home seems to put an especially extra value on the news and carryings on of home folks and I want to thank you sincerely for your effort in keeping me informed through means of the Rich County Reaper. I have quite enjoyed the activity that has been given me in the Air Corps training, and I certainly hope that I will, be able to follow it all the way through. Thanks again for sending the paper and I'll be looking for it every week until I can read it at home again. Sincerely yours, Max E. McKinnon, Williams Field, Arizona.
