Martell Easton presiding. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. President Easton reported that the County lacked $49.81 of meeting its quota in the Red Cross drive. He appointed a committee to make additional contacts to obtain this amount. At the suggestion of S. G. Hickman it was agreed that if this committee failed to collect this amount the members of the Chamber would pay it. H. D. Thompson reported that to date he had been unable to secure the services of a dentist for Beaver, with the exception of a Japanese. The Chamber opposed bringing a Japanese dentist into Beaver. Ernest Joseph made a report in relation to a Road Project sponsored trans-continent- al by the Carbon County Association Industries. After some discussion the matter was tabled for more infor- mation. S. G. Hickman reported that Mr. Gronway Parry had been in Beaver relative to using the Beaver race track for a certain moving picture scene. Mr. Hickman believed that there was no doubt that the race track would be used for the movie scene. Mayor Thompson reported that all streets of the city had been graded and the ditches would be completed this week. star-studd- son Square New Garden, York, last Tuesday night, when Herbert Wilkinson, ln the last few seconds of a sensation-packed over time game threw a field goal breaking a 40-4- 0 tie to put Utah out in front two points, may be interested to know that Herbert Wilkinson is the son of Dr. and Mrs. II.

Between 175 and 200 were seated at the long tables prepared by the Relief Society sisters, to enjoy a bounteous repast. Grant H. Tolton was toast master. Executive Scoutmaster, Mr. Gubler, of the Zlons National Council, was an honored guest. Hearty response was given by members to the Jokes and witticisms of the toastmaster.

Edgar Hoover's K.B.I, has made a detailed analysis from various angles of all major crimes committed in the U.S. The 1943 analysis recently completed is unusually interesting because it reveals startling wartime juvenile delinquency.' The most significant of these facts is that in 1943, for the first time since 1932, at least, 17 year old boys made up the biggest group of actual and accused in any age bracket. Arrests of this age group increased 27.7 per cent over 1942. This seems to be one of the indirect costs of war, mainly because honielife Is more or less disrupted. As We Ileeomo tho Aggressors The seriousness and magnitude of future war plans become apparent as the Army transfers 36,000 youthful candidates for air training to the ground forces because of the desperate need for qualified young men for pending operations. This move has become necessary because of the lack of youthful men In the ranks of infantry, as well as the failure of draft boards to meet requirements by 100,000 men a month since last July. In the past, the Air Corps has taken preference over all other branches of the service, but now the Infantry takes the limelight. This critical need for young men has likewise necessitated the drafting of previously occupation-all- y deferred men under the ago of 26. Seamen's Mail Kvplained Naval postal officers have recently pointed out that letters to seamen are being improperly addressed, ,often in violation of national security rules. Failure to use the proper form In addressing mail to these men results in delay in delivery and, In some instances, actual loss. To insure delivery, the following form should be used: Seaman's Name, Name of Ship, CO Postmaster, San Francisco, New Y'ork or New Orleans. Never use a specific street address or place name of a foreign country. This rule is for the seamen's own protection.

State-Feder- al Road Construction Funds Approved For Fishlake total of $17,000 has been apfor road construction on the Fishlake Forest to make strategic timber and coal accessible for the war effort, It was announced by Blaine Betenson, forest supervisor. These roads Include the improvement of 10 miles of existing road to the coal mine ln Convulsion Canyon which Is operated under lease from the Government by the Southern Utah Fuel Company, and the construction of 2 miles of new road from Ivy Creek to Horse Fork-Pin- e Spring Logging Chance, where more than a million board feet mature Ponderosa pine saw timber is located.
