A New Scout Competitive Plan Adopted A five point competitive program designed to develop participation In all phases of boy scout activity will be introduced soon In the Alpine district by the district executive committee. The six troops of the district will compete in five divisions of scoot activity for a prize to be awarded at the end of the season's work- All activities will be placed on a per centage basis In order that all may work on an equal footing. Each troop's own possibilities In each division of activity will be the yardstick by which Its score will be measured. Hence, small troops will not be penalized and large troops will not be placed at an unfair advantage. ad-vantage. The plan was formulated by Nor-vln Nor-vln Brown, boy scout commissioner, and approved by district excutive committee. It was explained to scout- ers at a recent meeting,, and soon will be put in actual operation In the troops. The troops will compete on a percentage per-centage basis in the following phases of scout work: 1. Registration of boys of scout age In the troop. The total number of boys of scout age In the troop limits lim-its will be 100 per cent mark. 2- Installation of a budget system Missionaries Get Rare Contacts Thru Athletics Morrel Ashby, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Ashby, and hli companion, Blythe M. Gardner of Richfield, have been chosen to coach teams in basketball in Germany- Both boys are alumnus members of the great "M" Men league. The story associated with the adoption of basketball as a national nation-al sport in germany, links up very definitely with the work being done by the Latter-Day Saint missionaries of the Deuhsch-Austrlan mission Some of Utah's best basketeers have attained considerable ' prominence and rare recognition for their as sistance in projecting this physical education program among the Teu tons. It all started when a group of missionaries had been playing bask etball In Berlin for physical diver sion. They were approached by rep resentatives of the German Olym pic association and invited to as sist in organizing and tutoring teams. The invitation was accepted and recently two Mormon boys spent considerable time at the official Olympic training camp, serving as coaches and trainers The movement, lnauguarated in Berlin, soon spread Into other sec tions of Germany, being received with particular enthusiasm by the Gera division of the German Na tional Confederation of Athletics- It At the conclusion of a conference I of twelve federal land bank presi dents held In Washington recently, Land Bank Commissioner Albert S' Ooss of the Farm Credit admin istration in Washington said that based on information brought him from all sections of the country, he could say that agricultural conditions condi-tions everywhere are far better than at any time since the Farm Credit administration was organized In May, 1933. "In spite of the poor wheat yield," Commissioner Ooss said, "Most crops are average or better, and cash farm Income figures are at the highest level since 1930. Increasing optimism already is reflected by improved im-proved loan collections and a grow ing demand for farm land in practically prac-tically every Federal land bank dls- trdrct in the country. Although prices of some commodities leave much to be desired, in the main there is a satisfactory price outlook, an active retail sales trade and a sounder farm credit position. All this gives real proof of the general improvement In the farmers' financial finan-cial position-" The Commissioner added that very few current applications for land bank and commissioner loans are of an emergency nature- Almost all of the applications are coming from farmers who desire to refinance aM the lower rate of 4 per cent now available on new loans from Federal land banks, as well as from farmers applying for loans to purchase new properties. Commissioner Goss said that loan applications increased 10 per cent during September over the preceding preced-ing month. The federal land banks and the land bank commissioner closed $30,000,000 of loans in September. Sep-tember. It may be added that in the eleventh elev-enth district, comprising California, Nevada, "Utah and Arizona, new applications ap-plications received and applications reinstated averaged 29 per working day during the month of August. In August of two years ago, over 500 applications were received daily. o Voting Places Designated to defray troop expenses.

He explained the good that might be accomplished by such a move and asked the favorable ac tion of the council relative to this matter. After some discussion this request was referred to the mayor and street committee to Investigate and report back. Chief Pratt appeared before the council In behalf of the people in the vicinity of the Dell Singleton home relative to the installation of a fire hydrant for their protection. He stated that the Installation, as requested, would cost the city nothing noth-ing outside of the water as the applicants ap-plicants desired to contact the county coun-ty relative to the payment 'of the necessary expense. Councilman Christensen there upon moved that permission be granted the applicants appli-cants to install a fire hydrant under the direction of the water superintendent superin-tendent provided that no expense was Incurred against the city and the hydrant was used for fire protection pro-tection only. The motion was sec onded and passed unamiously.

The matter of the payment of the Plate Glass Insurance on the American Fork Coop building as suggested in the policy submitted by Johnson and Aydelotte In the amount of $17.93 was discussed at length and it was the sense of the council that the city should assume this obligation. Information was received from the W. P. A. to the effect that Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance In-surance upon trucks operating upon W. P. A. projects must be taken by the taxing unit sponsoring the project. proj-ect. In connection with this notification noti-fication the recorder reported that a proposition nad oeen suDmittea by the Hicks Insurance agency which would minimize this expense. A motion therefore carried authorizing authoriz-ing the recorder that the city would accept the plan as outlined. Mayor Storrs reported that the road and bridge project had been approved and that work should be commenced In the near future. The mayor and recorder were also authorized auth-orized to sign the new cemetery bcautlficatlon and Boy Scout Lodge project forms and return them Immediately. Im-mediately.
