Ten high explosive bombs were reported dropped in one section and seven in another. However, casualties were said to be few.

The planes had been rendered unfit for use by smashing Royal Air Force bombings which now are extending as far west as Derna, 130 miles west of Tobruk.

In charge of the meeting, held in the Bluebird, was President Preston W. Pond, while Eugene Yeatcs introduced Dr. Godfrey. The program included report by H. M.

These counties include Box Elder, Cache, Daggett, Davis, Morgan and Rich. According to Jonathan Garst, regional director of surplus marketing administration for the western region, Utah is the fourth state in covthe west to receive state-wid- e erage under the stamp plan. The other three states are Nevada, New Mexico and Washington. It is anticipated tnat the farmers of Utah will be tremendously benefitted through the stamp plan operations, due to the fact that in many instances local surpluses will be included in a commodity list from which stamp purchases may be made. Mr. Garst said A total of $1,363,000 has been expended by the government in the purchase of the farmers surplus commodities via the stamp plan, through the regular channels of trade, in the western region up to November, 1940. Within the area designated by Secretary Wickard today, approximately 300 food stores will accept stamps tendered to them by approximately 3,000 families who are receiving some form of public assistance These families, after receiving dee certification from theif county welfare departments, will be able to purchase food stamps by mail from the issuing offices operated by the state welfare department located in the state capitol at Salt Lake City. For each two dollars expended for orange stamps by these families, the U. S. government will give them one dollars worth of blue colored stamps which will be accepted by the food stores for commodities designated by the secretary of agriculture as surplus. The necessary records for the opening of the six newly designated counties are no win process of preparation by the state department of public welfare. It is anticipated that the ,new area will begin operation around the 15th of January, xvvw.
