The two presidential aspirants, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Wendell Lewis Willkie, Democrat and Republican, respectively, have been addressing throngs of people throughout the United States and in our own state, Herbert B. Maw, Democratic gubernatorial nominee and Don B. Colton, Republican candidate for the same position, have likewise been doing their final stumping.

CAST BALLOTS NOVEMBER As 5 the final step in the poli- tical program for 1940, as far as each voters duty is concerned, will be the national, state, county and district voting next Tuesday, November 5. This voting should draw the interest and vote of every pag triotic and in this election. The polls will be open from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. and all citizen's should vote as they please, but vote, for this is the privilege of every American a privilege should be exercised to the fullest extent in making known your wishes for your candidate. The following polling places have been stipulated for the districts in this vicinity: 294A Hotel No. 1, Lincoln avenue, Garfield. 294 ResideAce of Mrs. Robert Monger, 151 West 16th avenue, Garfield. 295 Residence of Mrs. Beulah Christensen, intersection of First West and Second South streets. 296 Residence of O.

Pete Larson is second in averages with 174, and Barr Jacobs next with 173 average. 177 4th The head pin tourney really demonstrates to all why each individual does not bowl better. The ladies held this event Tuesday evening in their open night, and the low scores were astounding. It shows that any kegler must hit that old louie if he expects to score. Bowling The new bowling suits of the American Leaguers present a most pleasing view to the eye with their shiny shirts and clever g lettering, advertising the firm of each team. Named in their order of team numbers are: The Arthur Store, Industrial Supply Company, Denton Service, Central Lumber, Fair Store, Team No. 6 undecided as yet, Ken Garff, and Walker Insurance Agency. spon-sorin- Ladies Bowling The aid of every citizen in Magna, Garfield and vicinity is solicited to contact Commissioners J. B. Mullins, Roscoe Boden or J. R. Rawlins and urge them to retain an appropriation of $1800.00 in the 1941 county budget for a 4th deputy sheriff in this locality. The commissioners will approve the 1941 budget in December. It is felt that the officers here are overworked, having to work in twelve-hou- r shifts, and if another officer were appointed, the deputies could work in eight-hou- r shifts. By more policing in this territory, through more officers, contagion cases might also be more rigidly enforced through the offices of a local authority. One hundred and eighty-si- x measle cases were reported in these towns last year but only 11 homes had measles signs. Because of their numerous other duties, the three deputy sheriffs, N. F. Pehrson, W. J. Reynolds and P. A. Hanks, do not have sufficient time to attend to these matters, and at the present time are subject to duty. Commissioner Mullins told the local delegation who appeared before the commission Monday there was not any money left this year to employ another deputy but that it would be considered in the 1941 budget. 24-ho- ur PIRATES HOLD feminine bowlers Forty-fiv- e tournWard competed iin the king-piament Tuesday evening at the Hall.

(Continued On Page Four) MAGNA YOUTH DRAWS SECOND DRAFT NUMBER V-O- DRAFT BOARD 9fe CHATTER c. Perhaps Hitler is delaying his blitzkrieg on England because his experts are finding difficulty forging documents to prove that the British are planning to invade Germany. Punch recently remarked with unaccustomed acid: The Fueher on his return to Berlin appeared on the balcony of the chancellery but did not make a speech. In some circles it is regarded as a sign of weakness that he is thus beginning to pamper the German people. And in the same magazine was the following comment: Rome radio explained that the Italian naval forces could not reach Oran in time to engage the British battle squadron. One theory is that they made a long detour round a British armed trawler. Obviously the British wit is more caustic and becoming trenchent- -a danger signal for any nation planning a blitzkrieg. Socialism A short time ago the New York Times closed its Moscow bureau, which it had maintained for 18 years, because censorship made it impossible for any correspondents, save Germans, to obtain accurate news. The Times representative, G. E. R. Gedye, sent his paper a long dispatch on conditions in the workers paradise, on reaching Bulgaria on the way home. And here, according to this authority, are some of the fruits of stat socialism in a potentially rich nation of 160,000,000 people. A horde of purchasers descended on Mr. Geyde, socking to buy household effects when he left Moscow. The wife of an important ambassador begged for old kitchen pots, pans. Another ambassador sent a special messenger on the chance that Mr. Gedye might have some dog biscuits to sell or give away. People appeared at all hours to buy anything and long-establish- everything, including worn-ou- t wearing apparel Hopes of a second-han- d pair of boots, Mr. Gedye wrote, the rumor that some stores has a few oranges, a foreigner who might be induced to sell an old shirt or raincoat these are the questions that agitate the average Soviet citizen. Even the government, he added, Finally had to admit serious deficiencies in almost every direction. That is life under state socialism and the statistics back up every word of it and more. One survey showed that a good woolen suit cost $213, U. S. money, in Moscow-t- he equivalent of 115 days work for the average worker. A suit of wool underwear cost $28, or 15 days work. In 1938 the average unskilled laborer received the munificent sum of $12 per month. America in depression is infinitely more prosperous than Russia in a boom. The same is true of other nations where state socialism with all its destruction of liberties and private opportunity on top of its destruction of the workers standard of living-h- as been forced on the people. The undeniable evidence from abroad should! be sufficient to make the maintenance of our system of free, private the first enterprise thought of every citizen, regardless of his political affiliations. Blockade To Decide War The unrelenting blockade of Germany and occupied territories is not spectacular but the steady pressure of British naval supreis macy having some effect on Germany. British strategists continue to believe that eventually the blockade will bring Hitler to his knees just as it brought the Kaiser to a collapse some twenty-tw- o years ago. It is impossible to estimate German supplies of oil, tallows, rubber, lead, copper and other necessary war materials. Whatever the situation may be, it is intensified by the tight blockade which stops imports of these supplies. There is every indication that an effort will be made to persuade the people of this country to send food to the peoples of Europe this winter. While there may be a of food in certain areas, scarcity British officials assert that there will be plenty of food to go around if it is equitably distributed and not carted off to Germany. The Friendship Club met Friday at the home of Mrs. Ruth Vaughn for a social. Present were Mrs. Millie Beath, Mrs. Rose Rasmussen, Mrs. Emily Larson and the hostess.-.Thgroup met the previous toeek at the home of Mrs. Beath. Lieutenant' Edward Walker, member of Utahs Selective Service Board, informed members of Lions Club the Thursday, pertinent facts of the service act and its effeet upon local people. Mr. Walker listed the four classes of draftees, their manner of being called up and in general, the work of the appeal board. The local district board is comprised of J. G. Hadley, chairman. Mayor Robert Fitts of South Salt Lake and Mr. Harry Robbins of Murray. The conscripts will be grouped into 4 classes and questionnaires will be sent to all men in the order of the lottery drawing for "order numbers. Thus, the number will establish the order jn which the questionnaires 5 will be sent to the age group. Tabulated according to the answers on the itemized list, the conscript will be deferred into one of the four following groups: Class general military, physically fit men without dependents. ' Class limited military duty, men with slight physical impairments, eyes, ears, feet, etc. Class II Deferred because of occupational reasons, includes only men in essential positions in essential industries. Class because of dependents, wifes, children, parents, sisters, iff years of age. Class IV Physically, morally, mentally unfit, etc. There are not any exceptions, only deferments, according to their needs in industry or for support of families and homes. A man cannot claim deferment for a working wife, but his employer can claim deferment for vocational reasons, or his family can claim deferment for support reasons. The registration as of October 16 of District 15, 4904 men, lists he sciial numbers, and the numbers drawn in Tuesdays lottery lists the order numbers, a copy of which will be posted in the local postoffices Friday or Saturday, as soon as- - Mr. Hadley and his board can get them arranged in alphabetical order. The order number will determine the order in which questionnaires are sent out Only persons falling in Class I will be given a physical examination. If they pass this test they will be notified to that effect remaining in the preferred class, otherwise they will be placed in a deferred class. Persons not satisfied with the preliminary classification may file an appeal with the draft board by leaving with them all papers and information, and this will be turned over to the board of appeals. Personal appearance will not be made to this board. Glen E. Howe of Murray heads the appeal board for the local group. It is planned to have 800,000 men by June 15, 1941. The d district together with the rest of this area has the largest registration in the state, with 4904 the highest number, and is selective district No. 15. According to official information given this paper, it is thought that no questionnaires will be sent to registrants until November 7, and might perhaps be a few days later. The registrant, on receiving his questionnaire, has five days in which to fill it out, return it and await a call to appear before the board for questioning or classification. Meanwhile it is very important that the registrant have his correct home address always on file at his local board; responsibility for its correctness lies with him, not the board.
