In East Carbon Area Saturday morning an airplane dropped grasshopper poison 'mixed with bran over the East Carbon area. The government official supervising the drop feels that the action will be very effective. Only during the last 30 minutes was the wind quite strong. The last drop was made in Sunnyside and the action may not be as effective as the other drops made in Columbia, Dragerton and Sunnydale. The Rotary club has on hand at present 200 pounds of the grasshopper poison and mixed bran which will be available for the Sunnyside residents where the coverage might not be as effective as in the other areas La ter if the need arises the Rotary club will furnish additional mix to help take care of the grasshopper plague. The people of the community contributed the money for this project. From all reports this year was considered to be the worst year in recent history for the grasshopper plague.

The population of Price is 5999 and that of Helper, 2882. The Dragerton population was announced at 3457 people. Sunnyside and Sunnydale at 1882 with an additional 20 homes rented since the census was taken giving them an increase of 82 people for a total of 1964. No figures were obtained on the population of Columbia but' it has been estimated at 450 and this figure is used in the total given above. There are 300 houses in Sunny-dal- e, 154 houses ip Sunnyside, 720 houses in Dragerton and 110 houses in Columbia giving a total of 1284 houses in East Carbon. In addition there are 42 apartments in Dragerton, boarding house and apartments in Columbia and boarding house in Sunnyside giving total living units of nearly 1400 for East Carbon. Carbon county as a whole had an increase of 36 which is the highest increase for any of the large counties In Utah. One of the major reasons for the increase in Carbon county, was the development of the" East Carbon area " during the war years. Over 1000 dwelling units were built here since the 1940 census and many of the units in Sunnyside which were vacant in 1940 have now been occupied. With new coal lands being developed in the East Carbon area and the possibility within the next five years of added steel capacity being built at both or either the Geneva Steel and Fontana plants will be toward a greater population here. . As for the coal production in the East Carbon area it has been variously reported that approxiof the coal mined in mately 55 the county comes from there. Carbon-Emer- y production figures approach 5 million with 2.9 millions from East Carbon. : Nearly 1700 men are employed' at the four coal mines and the two railroads. Monthly wages paid, by all employers in the area will approach 750,000 dollars. .
