Copies of each report will be sent to mine operators and national and local headquarters of mine labor unions, the bureau said. The bureau said 107 inspectors will begin checking mines througout the ration about Octobert 1, and that eventually every major mine will be inspected at least once a year. Governor Maw, by proclamation, has designated the week of September 14th to 20th as civilian defense week. The purpose is to instigate a plan of education to bring to Utah people the seriousness of the war situation and the peril that Americans are under at this very moment. A commentator, speaking over a national radio network, stated that it is now possible for a bomber to fly from Berlin and bomb the principal New England cities ana" return to Berlin, within twenty-four hours, and if this is possible from Berlin to Boston, it is possible also for bombers to fly from both Pacific and Atlantic points to bomb interior cities and munition plants, hence the Governor's proclamation is timely and calls upon all Utah citi zens to understand the seriousness of the situation and organize with plans to meet it. A national defense council for the State of Utah has been set ur with headquarters in Salt Lake City, with similiar organizations in each county of the state, all working with the together and Jfational Defense Council through the state organization. The Box Elder County council has named James E. Halverson as county The first step of the co ordinator will be to secure a regis tration of citizens, who will volunteer for service in case of disaster. The purpose being to have a registration of citizens, both men and women of adult age, who can be called upon, for service in lines for which they have aptitude or facilities to carry on. For example, if a disasterous explo sion occurs, resulting from war or an act of sabotage, all registrants' both in names will be the county and central office, show' ing kind of service available, when and where such can be obtained, hence the other relief. Without this information, there would be utter confusion. When help is needed, those whose duty it is to provide for it, must know at ence such can be1 called upon for repairs, registration is an orderly necessity. Halverson went on to would be called ex no one that say cept on urgent necessity, and there is no compulsion and no demand is made on any one for service which every Loyal American would feel duty bound to perform in order to protect his family and his community. Registration cards may be had from or either the County from the Secretary, whose office is in the Court House, where they will be filed by the secretary for future use, Mr. Halverson said contact will be made through all civic organizations, including the various ward relief societies and luncheon clubs. The day designated is September 17, and Mr. Halverson hopes to complete' his work of registration as rapidly as possible. Every loyal American in Box Elder county, should register and put Box Elder over the top at the earliest pos - : sible moment. cross-indexe- d, WPA TRAINING T7PA announced the training program has passed the experimental stage and stated nine out of 10 by industry are now put on. the payroll on the average in 3 weeks' time. Although the WPA pro-- l ram is still expanding, 219 industrial plants are teaching 750 WPA workers to become regular employees. The The plants, located in 18 states, manufacture Diesel engines, tools, instruments, dies, firearms, parachutes, aircraft, and foundry and brass products All WPA workers assigned to training are interviewed and chosen by the companies' own personnel departments, with the understanding that the training period shall not exceed 160 hours (four weeks). At the end of that time, a worker either f.oes on the company payroll or leaves the plant, but the average WPA work er is hired after three weeks training, the agency saaid.

LEAD IT V A 11 TOEMONTON CITY, UTAH, THURSDAY, LUMB XVII .;6m 7A IS EVERYWHERE The "V for Victory" button campaign is sweeping the country, carrying the Fight for Freedom Committee symbol for freedom everywhere from totalitarianism throughout the United States, just as it Is Europe. blanketing On sidewalks and on buildings, on letterheads and office memoranda, the "V for Victory" sign appears spontaneously. Orchestras play the three dots and a dash "fate" theme of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, rep resenting the Morse code symbol for the letter V. while audiences tap it out and sing in chorus. The campaign has captured the Amerimagination of freedom-lovin- g icans and it has appealed to the down trodden peoples of Europe as a sign that somewhere the torch of freedom still burns fiercely. Tap it out on your telephone, ring it out on a glass to call your waiter, play it on your piano and listen for it on the radio. And wear it on your lapel or on your dress. Local units of the Fight for Freedom Committee report great demands for the colorful buttons and many have had to replenish their stocks from the New York office. Buttons may be obtained from any Fight for Freedom chapter or if you have not yet organized a unit in your city, from the Fight for Freedom office, 1270 Sixth Ave., New York City. You can help the cause of freedom from totalitarianism by wearing the "V for Victory" button, to show that free Americans everywhere treasure their democratic way of life and are willing to fight for their freedom if necessary. Young women members from the New York Chapter office halted traffic and caused sensations throughout midtown Manhattan when they pinned "V" buttons on lapels of pedestrians. If you really want to spread the gospel of freedom from totalitarianism, of the American democratic way of life, push the campaign in your community. Organize volunteer groups to distribute "V" buttons on busy corners. Get members of your club to wear them. Have your youngsters distribute them to neighbors. Get behind the movement to keep America free free from all the disloyal doctrines of and intolerance and hatred being spread by the Wherever you go, wear your "V for Victory" button.

Mr. Oman has just completed an extensive survey of the Box Elder ran ges and states that while the local ranges have been improving for several years, since being under supervision, this year's range improvement due to the frequent rains is the most important development for many seasons.

Army and acting as one of the umpires representing the Fourth Army field artillery in the maneuvers in Louisiana, sent the Leader Office the following letter which we are glad to publish in this issue. Mr. Dunn, Chuck Nelson and Glenn Wood were chosen to act as umpires during the maneuvers. Following is the letter: "Yesterday I had the honor of interviewing Vice Marshall Malty of the British R. A. F., and thought maybe you would want an article for your paper about it "As you have undoubtedly heard, three of the fellows from the home town were chosen to represent the Fourth Army as Field Artillery umpires, during the period of the Louisiana maneuvers. Among these were Chuck Nelson, Glen Wood and myself. These maneuvers are said to be the largest ever held in the world, in time of peace. Some 500,000 ground troops and 1,00 airplanes will be in active service. "A special observer at the "war" is Vice Marshal Maltby of the R. A. F. He arrived at Barksdale Field late Sunday, as England's official ob server of the Louisiana maneuvers, between the Second and Third Armies of the United States. "When questioned as to his duty here, Maltby stated, "Well, I've come down to join up with the old maneuvers for about 10 days." The information he disclosed as to his rank indicated that Vice Marshall in England corresponds with the rank of Major General (a two-stgeneral) In an American Army. "The Marshal's speech and manners were typically British, and he was clad in his kakhi R, A. F. uniform, which was highly decorated. He said he came to United States to specifical ly view the maneuvers. "I want especially to see the cooperation between the air and ground forces," he said. "Maybe we can exchange a few ideas." The British air marshal has been a flier himself for 26 years, he said. His 3 children and wife reside in Bedfordshire, England. "Maltby has been in this country nearly two weeks. He flew over from an air base somewhere in Scotland, in an American-mad- e plane, which the British have named 'The Liberator." Marshal Maltby intends to range over the entire maneuver areas, in his ten day stay. The visit his first to this country, has impressed him deeply. He has noticed in particular the high stan dard of living. He expects to attend the bomber demonstration scheduled for September 20 to 22. "In the short time I was with him, he gave me all the news he could and the foregoing is the text of the in- teiview. I sincerely trust that you will appreciate it.
