Asked For Funds to Aid In Nurse Employment Officials of the Provo, Alpine and Nebo school districts Monday requested re-quested from the Utah county commission com-mission . an appropriation to aid employment of six public school nurses during the year. The state board of health has announced that it will abandon the program on March 1 unless Utah county agrees to participate, mem bers of the commission were told, Representatives of the school districts dis-tricts sought a county appropriation of $3030, to apply on the $12,900 re quired to employ the six nurses. Of the balance, $6840 would be paid by the state board of health and $1010 by each of the three school districts. Members of the county commiS' sion said they are confronted with too many demands for their limited budget, but agreed to study the situation. They instructed County Attorney Arnold C. Roylance to obtain an opinion from Attorney General Joseph Chez as to the legality of a county contribution to the public school nursing program. The six nurses now employed are Carol B. Raile, J. Rosenstock, Loy F. Doss, Bertha Becker, Lena Kies slg and Leona Curtis. M. I. A. UXIOX MEETING NEXT TUESDAY The regular monthly Union and Leadership meeting of the M. I.

Imagination Is one of the most necessary qualifications of a mine operator. Proving this theory, the Horn Silver Mining company has started sinking a new tripple compartment Morrison shaft on the southern end of Its property about three miles from the original Horn Silver mine in Beaver county. A photograph ot the new shaft is shown above. Owners of the property, its engineers en-gineers and geologists are applying imagination to this project in the sense that they are trying to find another Horn Silver for the district and the state. The Horn Silver, a producer of approximately $54,-000,000 $54,-000,000 In silver, lead and zinc ores, has never been duplicated in that region. The Original.

A possible project for Lehl City being discussed at length at the present time by local National Guard officers and interested cltl-zenU cltl-zenU Is Uie building of a National Guard Armory in our community. It is felt that such a project would be of great advantage to the community from various standpoints stand-points and if the townspeople would get behind Uie project and "back" it a hundred percent it is felt that such a project could be obtained for our community. It would be necessary for the city to furnish the grounds ifor the new armory and be sponsors of the project, which would be a W P A project, and the money for the building would be allotted by the government. Many citizens fall to realize just what the local National Guard means to Uie community. During the last quarter (three-month per iod) $1,629.56 was brought into Lehl from this source and possibly 90 percent or more of this was spent in the local town. This would amount to more than $6,000 per year (tax free money) brought into Lehl from this source. The building of a new armory would possibly insure the permanent perma-nent establishment of the unit in this community. The building could serve as a clvie building and could be used as a public building six days a week. Lehl Is one of the few towns In. the state now that have not built a new armory, where guard unlU are established. At the present. Lehl, Pleasant Grove and Garland are the only towns where new armories have not been constructed and at the present Garland is planning plan-ning the construcUon of a new armory. The project would mean a large amount of labor for local men and when completed it would be of great value and a real asset to the com munity. At present there are 37 enlisted men and five officers in the National Na-tional Guard unit. The guard will welcome the pub- lie to watch them drill on any drill night and will be glad to answer any quesUons that you might have concerning the National Guard duties and work. Federal inspection of Uie Lehl guard unit will be held March 19 at 8 o'clock in the local armory building. State officers will be present to conduct the inspection. The public is welcome to be present at this inspection. The Lehl unit In years past have passed a high Inspection and have received favorable comment from our state officers. Business men, civic leaders, influential influ-ential citizens and townspeople let's think this over and get behind the project one hundred percent and secure this project for Lehl City. Cooperation and support Is needed from everyone to put over such an undertaking, secure government approval ap-proval and get the new armory for Lehl.
