The levies must then be approved ap-proved by the county commission. A PROCLAMATION Telephone Service Meeting War Needs The grim business of war takes over a little more of our time each day as millions like ourselves all over the nation give our services in war work. You've probably been doing more yourself buying more Bonds, Working in civilian defense or other war projects. That's the way a democracy fights and each voluntary contribution of the time and service further unites a great nation meeting the sternest test ft has ever faced. As the mighty war effort gathers momentum it touches all of us in our everyday lives and by the same token, broadens our opportunities to be helpful. In this connection, an interesting angle was mentioned this morning by A. W. Clyde, manager of the Telephone Company. Since the outbreak of war, tele phone lines all over the nation have been busier than ever before in the Company's history, Mr. Clyde said, carrying urgent messages between offices of government, military posts, munitions plants, aviation industries, naval bases, shipyards, factories and homes. The Tact that we all seem to be using the telephone more, indicates in-dicates pretty clearly its vital part in tying together the work of war, but it also gives every telephone user an added responsibility. War calls must come first and everyone can cooperate. The Telephone Tele-phone company urges that long distance and local calls be made brief: that nonessential calls be avoided. Unnecessary conversations may delay essential war calls. Because important telephone ma terials like copper, aluminum, rubber, rub-ber, and zinc are vital war materials as well, new lines can t be provided to handle additional loads- In some cases no new local service can be provided and party -lines must be shared. Considerate use of party-line party-line service is neighborly and helpful help-ful at this time. WHEREAS, a state of war has created a national emergency within our country. 'jy-r WHEREAS, the emergency is demanding the full resources of our land and the complete abilities and cooperation of our people. J ; WHEREAS, one valuable resource is the agricultural agricul-tural products, the fruits and vegetables now ripening in the fields. ;'. WHEREAS, these foodstuffs are needed lor the sustenance and wellbeing of our armed forces over seas and our civilian population at home. WHEREAS, the Office of Price Administration has relaxed sugar restrictions to make available all the sugar needed by housewives for the home canning of fruits. THEREFORE, I, Herbert B. Maw, governor of Utah, do hereby proclaim to the people of Utah that every effort should be made to make full use of these products, not only for table use but for canning and conservation for the future. Let everyone cfcoSerate in a statewide effort to gather and conserve this harvest of fruits and vegetables. Let nothing be wasted. (Signed) HERBERT B. MAW Governor of Utah.

Livestock Prices Are Up For Week In Los Angeles Hog prices have fluctuated during dur-ing the past week as buyers are attempting to bring home prices more nearly in line with celling nrices on Dork cuts and lard. How ever, with the great demand for pork, the market has a bouyancy which seems to defy efforts of buyers buy-ers to hold-'-ilu-in-',llnd.',Eay last week, hog markets the country coun-try over were unevenly lower, but on succeeding days prices Improved until most of the declines were regained. re-gained. However, last Friday, prices were lower again and the closing top at the Los Angeles Union stockyards stock-yards was $15.35 a cwt, or about 15 cents a cwt. lower than the highest high-est quoted price the day previous. It seems likely that during the next few weeks, , receipt of hogs will Increase as the effect of the record spring pig farrowing is felt Transportation agencies, packers, commission men and government agencies are urging hog feeders to "spread out" the fall marketing season as much as possible In order that the record numbers of market hogs can be transported and processed. pro-cessed. Reports from Washington Indicate that governments buying of pork and lard has been reduced temporarily, probably until the big fall run begins to move to market Cattle prices are holding on a stable basis, with some strength noted on cows and the better grades of steers. Strictly good, fed steers topped last week at the Los Angeles An-geles market at 113.65, and short-fed steers are selling at $11.50 to $12.73 a cawt. Cows are In good demand and most of the common and medium me-dium grades of range cows are eligible to $8.50 to $10, with strictly food range cows up to $10410.

Vineyard Group Denounces Zoning Plan At a public hearing Friday In the city and county building property prop-erty owners in the Oeneva Steel plant area vigorously denounced the proposed Utah county zoning ordinance. The property owners, numbering approximately 25, vehemently protested pro-tested against the proposal, declaring de-claring that It not only violated their legal rights, but also their constitutional privileges Inasmuch as It prohibited the construction of grocery stores, cafes, hotels and so forth. These owners declared that their land had already been made undesirable unde-sirable for homes and also had been greatly injured for fanning. On the other hand, they declared that the property was very desirous desir-ous for bungalow courts, trailer camps, grocery stores and other businesses. Being dose to the Geneva works site, workers at the plant would save valuable rubber and time by living in the close vicinity, the property prop-erty owners contended. George H. Smeath, county plan ning director, pointed out that there are four principal reasons for not wishing to open the district to such practices. These were: Danger of sabotage, health and sanitation problems, lack of community facilities fa-cilities such as schools and possibility pos-sibility of an abandoned slum area after the construction boom at the plant v - Mr. Smeath also pointed out that a" cafeteria to feed" 1400 meif day Is being constructed at the plant and that steel officials have requested re-quested that the land be kept free from such enterprises mainly as a protection against sabotage. N. W. Pickett, sanitary chief of the state department of health, declared that many "headaches" could have been eliminated if such a zoning ordinance had been adopt ed months ago in Weber and Davis counties. He said that it was practically prac-tically Impossible to draw a border line. Geologists Wanted By U. S.

Wootton Brothers Meet In New York City Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Wootton have received word from their son Earl, who Is In New York engaged In special work for the government in the Bell laboratories. Earl is en-Joying en-Joying his work Immensely and very recently had a happy surprise. While alone In his room one eve-nng eve-nng he heard a knock on the door and upon opening it, there stood his brother Leo, who had obtained a short furlough from army duty. Leo recently was transferred from Louisiana to New Jersey. Needless to say they spent a most enjoyable evening together. Earl has been employed by the government since last January, in the radio field.' He was at Sacramento when chosen to go to Philadelphia for special training at the Phllco radio school. He returned to the west coast, when shortly afterward he was selected from a large group to go to Seattle to the Boeing airplane plant, and had been back In Sacramento but two weeks when he was chosen as one of 14 from a large group for special work In the Bell laboratories. Mr. and Mrs. Wootton and members of the family enjoyed a short chat with Earl In Salt Lake recently as his train stopped at the depot enroute to New York. Offloe of War inform ation-A food conservation program for Utah outlining maxlrnim home "ntny or ioodstuffs, both fruits and vege tables, was announced Thursday following action of the office of price administration in rlarin restrictions on sugar available fof fruit canning. The OPA recently authorized local war nrice and raiJnnin boards to permit the use of any reasonable amount of sugar for home canning with the understand ing that with each pound of sugar, four quarts of fruit will be canned, Gus P. Backman. state ration. ing administrator, has advised local boards to accept new. applications for sugar to fill late summer and fall canning needs and reported Thursday that most boards have the program under way and the remainder expect to within a few days. "No fruit must go to waste this year," he said. "Food Is a weapon of war. National OPA officials have advised me that they consider the conservation of fruit fun as important as the conservation of sugar and restrictions have been so relaxed that Utah housewivee have every opportunity to conserve fresh fruit wherever and whenever available. .. .. "Every Jar of home-canned trull which your family uses leaves a can of commercially packed fruit lor our armed forces and for our allies. He asked only one self-imposed self-imposed restriction on housewives -to apply only for the amount of sugar actually needed. ---i- Our sugar fupDlles." he said. "must still be used carefully. A bumper crop of our own beet sugar is in the offing, but It alone cannot supply the united States. A great share of the national supply de pends upan imports. Submarine warfare and the Deed for ships to carry war" materials mean that Imports . of -sugar-mar- dret below normal Every boatload of sugar that Is shipped in, endangers the lives of American seamen. Beet sugar may be shipped to far sec tions of the nation to relieve shortages short-ages there. For that reason, apply ror sugar certificates to enable you to purchase all that you need but figure those needs carefully." The home canning Drosram also had the endorsement of Vernal A Bergeson, member of the state ag ricultural commission. "Fruit growers are now harvest ing the last of their apricots and raspberries and the peak is here ror dewberries." Mr. Bergeson said. "With the relaxed restrictions of the OPO on sugar, there Is no excuse for housewives not putting up at least their normal pack of these fruits. Coming up of course are peaches, plums and apples. Plans should be made right now to can a fully supply of them." Mr. Bergeson also stressed the importance of putting ud not only fruits, but vegetables. "Use what you can from your victory gardens and the abuandance of local vegetables now on the market mar-ket for your table," he said, "but also plan to can a supply of them. They take little or no sugar and by canning them, you make that many more commercially canned goods available for the armed forces." It was pointed out that the-war production board imposed few restrictions re-strictions on manufacture of supplies sup-plies for home canning this year and as a result, there Is a plentiful supply of bottles, tops and other materials in the stores. On the other hand, the war production pro-duction board has ordered a definite defi-nite per centage of most commercially commer-cially canned fruits and vegetables reserved for the armed forces and lend-lease purposes, which means that only a restricted supply will be available for the public. Consequently, It behooves all housewives and home managers to put up as full a supply of home-eanned home-eanned produce as possible; government govern-ment spokesmen said. IIO ME BUILDERS ADVISED TO BUILD NEAR UTILITY LINES The scarcity of critical war materials ma-terials such as copper wire and electrical line fixtures and water pipe makes it necessary for the city officials to advise those seeking seek-ing building lots for the purpose of building homes to be sure the lot is fronted by a- utility line and within the limit specified by the WPB. The city cannot under present pres-ent conditions and priorities extend either water or power to areas not already served by present utility . facilities. |
