A big share of his spare time is spent in community work, of course without re- muneration. As chairman of a host of committees he has organized completely and carried out the projects thoroughly. To mention a few of his accomplishments the past year, he served as chairman of the Peafch Day Parade, chairman of the re0 of ception honoring Miss Utah, the Miss Box Elder contest, chairman of the Jaycee Duck carnival, served as a major in the boy scout drive, and more. Too, he is a elder in the Brigham City First LDS ward where he is a ward teacher supervisor and an officer in the YMMIA. Verl has more than won his spurs as a community leader he not only expressed his appreciation to the Junior Chamber of Commerce for the award, but passed the buck" for his accomplishments down to the people who assisted him in the many projects blam- ing them for doing the work for which I am receiving the award. " 20-3- Rudy Looks Back; Vic Looks Ahead R. M. (Rudy) Kaiser wound up a years effort, accomplishment and frustration as president of the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce Monday evening. As his eulogist pointed out he has won one of those coveted posts in the great fraternity of past-presiden-ts. ' -- It must be a relief from a tough post that carries with it satisfaction that progress has been accomplished. Rudy, along with his outgoing board of directors, Ray Daines, Henry Nielsen, Charles Keller and Charles Claybaugh, may sigh a sigh of satisfaction. They have faced more than the usual quota of tough problems; they practically always came up with an answer, sometimes wrong, usually right, but they had an answer. For their efforts in directing the fortunes of the Chamber of Commerce, which were in the interests of all of Box Elder county, they deserve the finest thanks of the county-wid- e community. For the new president, C. V. Forsgren, his hold-ovdirectors. Ole Zundel, Dick Alston, Denni3 Johnson and Delbert Hadfield and new directors, Harold Felt, Reese Baty, J. Y. Ferry and Perc Knudson, the big problem is the year ahead. Looking forward they face as many tough problems in Chamber of Commerce activities, as the retiring officers can look back on. The Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to improving the economic, living and general conditions of all Box Elder county. The officers and directors will carry this program forward with the help of all the club ' er - By Bob Crompton R. M. (Rudy) Kaiser closed out his term as president of the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce with a presidents report mightily on the brief side. It went something like this: Those who care about the Chamber of Commerce know what we have accomplished ; those who dont know what the Chamber has done the past year dont give a dam. To this Rudy advised that it is urgent, the Chamber of Commerces greatest problems, to develop some entertainment on Peach Days from the time of the great parade in the morning and the evening activi-tieone of Congratulations To DSA Winner ...

IN BROGMAM CITY AGAIN Rex Layne had as much optimism about his LaStarza fight next February IS, as bulges around his waist at the amateur fight Saturday night. Ill beat him, was the definite comment from Layne, Ive never been in better shape. Im ready for the fight. Rex, incidentally, complimented the fight committee with the observation that the fights were run off more smoothly than any amateur card he had seen. John Rasmussen, BEHS janitor, received special plaudits for his work at the high school at the fights. According to Fight Chairman Jay Swenson, John donated all the duty in money he earned for his over-tim-e opening the gym and helping with the fights. Jay also said the Blvers and BEttes, Coach Ferguson and the high school as a whole were very cooperative with the fight card and helped a lot. Those new tax deductions are still financial liabilities. Utahs babies are big eaters, according to the American Can company. There are 43,000 babies under two years old in the state and they eat an average of 77 pounds of processed infant food a year. So, if in 1952 you added a tax deduction to your household, dont congratulate yourself to enthusiastically in 1953 youre going to s buy about 77 pounds of food at about a couple ounces. two-bit- Phone your name in todaylto: Aileen Nelson Larsen Pauline Forsgren YOUR BLOOD d Phone 1000 or 804-- J IS URGENTLY NEEDED! the men wounded in combat, blood is life itself. Every Korean battle casualty reaching the hospital, needs an average of nine pints of blood. Some is given as whole blood, some as plasma.

Then they move so fast we hardly have time to see them. Both of these facts tend to prove that their organization is efficient, effective. If they slipped once in their job there would be plenty said but they never miss. They handled the job of fighting fires in Brigham City and surrounding area superbly last year as the annual report indicates. In fighting a total of 45 fires in Brigham City they held fire loss to only $21,275 a good year. These figures were on property valued at $649,540, which would have been the loss had they not done their job so well. In the county they battled another 20 fires in which the loss was estimated at $23,535. Just to keep them on their toes they held 53 fire drills during the year, one every Wednesday. And they closed out the first full year of ambulance service with a record Margary School from 3 6 Blood is to be taken at the Central to 8 P. M. 4C It is hoped that 200 pints will be secured.
