DESERVING WORD OF PRAISE FOR A FINE JOB INDUSTRY GROUP PLANS It is exactly 13 days since a natioproject was completed with reports released that our nation far exceeded the Sixth War Loan drive. So far did Americans go all out in the campaign thait Uncle Sam had nearly 2 billion dollars more than asked for. Very few states, if any, failed to reach their quotas. Carbon county, under the leadere ship of Keith Chase and W. E. of Price, and ably assisted by community chairmen in each town in Carbon, exceeded its quota by 40 percent. An achievement that in it self bespeaks able leadership and hard work. Helper has so often during the present war exceeded quotas and made new records that It barely is news when a final report reveals the g camconclusion of a paign. During the Sixth War Loan Helper had a chairman, Ellis R. Crissman, who capably followed in the footsteps of Steve Diamanti and Fred Bosone, previous bond chairmen, and led this community to anachievement. other To begin with, the committee derided it needed a quota for Helper. So on a per capita basis they set their figure at $150,000, all series bonds, and started to work. When the final analysis was made Helper had received credit for $441,000 in all types of bonds sold. Of this amount $147,C0O, plus, were in "E" bonds alone. That's the record! Lest we here in this little smokey. dusty, railroad and coal mining city forget to commend a person and his committee for a Job well accomplished, this writer., "wvntfj. tq per sonally and through this column say: "Mr Crissman and your able aids, you are to be commended for the persistent and diligent wav you put over the Sixth War Loan." Hel per, Carbon county, Utah and the Nation are proud of you and pleased at your achievement. ANNUAL MEETING rtoVa (interest in capturing a share of the new synthetic fuels industry is evidenced by the action taken by citizens of Carbon county through the Carbon County Associ. aied Industries organization in of. fering a site to the federal govern, ment free of cost for construction of a demonstration plant to perfect the manufacture of commercial fuels, in. aviation gas from eluding coal and shale. This was reported today by Rep. Walter K. Granger (D. Utah), who has been urging the Department of Interior, now making surveys to de. termine where to erect three syn. thetic fuel demonstration plants, to situate one of the plants in Utah. Two of the plants will be designed to perfect different processes for manufacturing liquid fuels from coal, and agricultural forestry lignite, processes, and the third plant will do developmental work in processes of making fuels from shale. At a meeting of the Industries group in Helper Tuesday night J. A. re. Theobald, executive secretary, ported that his latest communica. tions from Congressman Granger assured him that he was doing all within his power to bring the plant to Cartoon county. The site proposed is near Maxwell about half way be. fcween Helper and Price. ' The shale formations along river in Utah have attracted the attention of the Interior Depart, ment,, and Granger said he believes the state has a "good chance" to have either the shale demonstration plant or one of the coal demonstra. tion plants erected within its borders. He emphasized, however that the Wyoming delegation to Congress, headed by Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D.Wyo.), is exerting efforts to induce the Interior Department to lo. ftate-on- e ofJ.the demonstration plants within their state, wihieh also has de. sirable shale formations. n-wide fund-raisin- record-breakin- PRICE KIWANIS INSTALL NEW OFFICERS TONIGHT iTff IN HELPER FEB, 21ST Plans for the annual meeting of the Associated Industries of Car.

Ullrich project engineer, and ac cepted a bid of the T. H. MeGraw Company of Salt Lake City to con. struct a new 2.million gallon reservoir a half mile west of the present water storage tank. According to Mayor D. K. Downey the MeGraw company's bid was $43,. 217.34 and was considerably lower than any other bid. Seven bids were received by the city council, the highest being $S9,106.71, and the other five being in the neighborhood of $64,000. Following acceptance of the bid last week the mayor and council au. thorized Mr Ullrick to proceed with preparation of the necessary docu. ments and contracts, which whin finished, will be signed by both par. ties concerned. The contract proh. ably will contain the date when con. struction will begin and when the project must be completed. Approved hy the Federal Works Agency, a grant of $26,000 will be made by the government with the city obligated to pay the other por. tion of the construction costs. The new reservoir will be built south and west of the old storage tank on upper townsite. It will be construct, ed of reinforced concrete and will be a circular tank, 150 feet in diameter and will hold 2 million gallons of water. Its location will make it pos. sible to use the old tank as an over, flow, auxiliary for the new reser. voir. Weather no doulbt will be the main factor in determining when actual construction will begin. It is expect, ed the project will begin about March 1.
