This spring cleanup is in the blood of the average householder if they live in their own home or in rented premises, apparently, makes slight difference. This urge to tidy up both inside and outside the home will carry on until late spring early June, when the efforts of their labor will blossom forth in a garden of beautiful beau-tiful blossoms or a real table vege table garden. A few more days of spring sun shine and the paint brushes will be at work. Truly the "spring beau tiful" is synonimous with cleanup paint-up the grounds, fences outbuildings, interior and exterior of the home. Spring cleanup is a natural outlet for the stored-up energy accumulated by the average human during winter months. Conference To Be Broadcast Beloved Matron Called To Final Reward Mrs. Louisa E, Z.

On Saturday, April 4, meetings are scheduled for 10 a. m. and 2 p. m.: on Sunday, April 5, at 2 p. m, testimony testi-mony meeting is planned in addition to the session to be broadcast, and on the actual anniversary date, Monday, April 6, at 10 a. m., session ses-sion dealing principally with business busi-ness will be held. Saturday's statement by President J. Reuben Clark Jr., and David O. McKay, suggests that regular fast and testimony meetings for the month of April be held March 29 instead in-stead of April 5 in areas where members mem-bers can tune in on the conference broadcast. In other areas where K S L cannot be heard distinctly, the regular day, April 5, might well be observed as fast day, the statement state-ment suggests. Places for the conference have not yet been announced.

Reiterating the facts already placerd before you, we report that the future salvation of your community com-munity is at stake provided that you wish it to prosper. Of course if you care to see the town's business busi-ness locations displaying "for rent" signs instead of a show window full of wanted merchandise there is nothing that can be done about the matter only that you may kid yourself into believing that you personally per-sonally may have helped to make another ghost town out of what may otherwise have been a prosperous pros-perous community and you will be correct You, today, are living in a fast moving series of events.

Evans, assis tant collector of internal revenue for Utah, lowered exemptions, sur taxes and a greater number of wage earners filing returns resulted in an increase of 165 per cent in federal income tax collections from March to 20. With the government searching out every source of revenue to raise funds to carry on the war, income tax collections during the 20-day period reached the all-time high of $5,407,912 compared with $2,030,429 in t.h same Deriod of 1941, Mr. Evans said. Swamped beneath a flood of tax returns, the internal revenue office has not yet had time, he said, to compute the number of filings made by Utahns, but the figure Is cer tain to be well above the number in 1941 for two reasons: first, the lowered exemptions wmcn maae more earners subject to .the filing of returns, and second, the greater number of persons working during the last taxable year, on defense jobs and elsewhere, who were un- employed m uc yc his busjtoes& Js.. assistance of to invest larga sums of money to stock of merchandise " from which you are at liberty to select to fill your immediate day-to-day needs.

C, 32,000 Utah men, who registered last February 18 for selective service, were listed for draft duty. While the sequence in which 7000 numbers fell in the lattery determined deter-mined the order of call for Utahns, Its effect will not be felt officially in the state until certified copies of the master lists are received from Washington by Utah's 29 draft boards. The first three numbers drawn, 3485, 2850 and 4301, were too high to prove applicable to Utah's selective selec-tive service system, as the highest number of registrants reported by any local board in the state follow ing the February 18 registration was 2705. Thus the fourth number -drawn, No. 441, actually became the first number upon which Utah draft selections se-lections will be based. When master lists are received by Utah local boards this routine busi ness of classifying the state's 32,000 new registrants will begin. This will entail the sending of questionnaires to all the registrants following the order in which the men are placed by the lottery. The quest!onn.iires must be no tarized, and attorneys of the state will offer notary public service free of charge and will act as consultants for all registrants, officials said. With return of the questionnaires the classification of the new regis trants will begin. Classification is determined upon fitness for military mili-tary service, age, dependency and other qualifications. There have been two previous reg istrations and lotteries. The second Involved men who had become 21 since the first registration. The third Involved all men between 20 and 44 Inclusive, who had not previously registered.
