WORK PROGRESSING Workmen this week have completed the footings of Nephi's new hundred thousand dollar gymnasium and Mechanical Arts building John R. Stewart, resident engineer for the Public Works Administration, which as provided an outright grant of $45,000.00 toward the project reported to the regional Director Kenneth A. Godwin, that completion of this important phase of the job has come well ahead of schedule. The new gymnasium and mechanical arts building is scheduled to be ready for use by the Board of Education of the Juab school district before the fall term begins in 1939. Trestles Are Donated For Summer Home The special committee from the Nephi Kiwanis club to foster the erection of a summer home in Salt Creek canyon, behind Mount Nebo, is making rapid progress and it is hoped to get the proposed building approved and under construction shortly after the first of the year, according to J. Walter Paxman, chairman of the committee. Mr. Paxman and his committee have made arrangements with John Richardson to draw up plans for the proposed building, and the construction will be planned so as to use the large forty-si- x foot trestles recently taken out of the Arlington dance hall. These large trestles which are vaued at approximately $150.00 each will be used across the top of the building and will mean a great deal toward the construction of the summer home. These large trestles were donated free of charge by M. J. Greenwood, of the Utah Oil Refining company, which is very much appreciated by the entire community, Mr. Paxman and his committee. They are very valuable for the specific purpose they will be used for. President A. H. Belliston received the' following letter from Mr. Greenwood confirming a telephone conversation regarding the large Howard Belliston who is attending the University of Utah, spent the week end at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Belliston. ions and six mobile units with trained volunteers ready to assist accident victims, being in operation today.

The delegation of five officials accompanied by Newell Wasden of are the Farm Security Service, empowered to contract with farmer's groups, and irrigation companies for the purpose of empounding water, developing water, and improving the use of present water supplies. Providing the project of building retaining reservoirs in Salt Creek canyon is approved and undertaken, a cement wall will be built at Black Narrows and the large volume of water which sinks at this point will be saved for use on Juab valley farms. It is also understood that a retaining dam will be built at another location in the canyon to hold back supplies of water during late fall, winter and early spring (spring foods) seasons, for use gradually during the growing season of the Juab Valley farms. The" so'.V structure of East Juab County is such that 1nany cash crops could be grown here, increasing materially the income from the soil, If sufficient water could be developed for them. The canyon structure is such that wasted water because of sinkage is great, and every gallon that is lost through sinkage keeps that much from the farmers fields. Retaining reservoirs would increase the supply greatly, and in turn, greatly increase the income to the farmers. Farmers, city officials, directors and stock holders of the Nephi Irrigation company, business men, civic clubs and organizations, and all groups of cooperative farmers, should join hands in backing the move for additional water facilities. A large sum of money has been appropriated for the purpose of building such retaining reservoirs, and there is no reason in the world why Nephi residents should not cooperate to obtain necessary approval and work It means the salvation of their farming lands and increased income for every Nephi citizen. CONVENIENT CLOSET FACILITIES REDUCE HOUSEHOLD WORK Having places to keep things In the home saves time, reduces house hold drudgery, and Is the secret of keeping a neat, orderly dwelling, says Mrs. Effie S. Barrows, extension home furnishings specialist at Utah Staae Agricultural college. One who numbers the articles for which places should be provided in a well planned home is no doubt amazed at the endlessness of the list Yet it will be agreed that home living and housekeeping pro cesses should be accomplished with more satisfaction if all supplies are stored In the place of first and most frequent use. It is a known fact, says Mrs. Barrows, that housekeeping drudgery is stepped down by providing wrap closets at both front and rear entrances of the small home. Being able to leave outside wraps, rubbers, galoshes, boots and umbrellas at the point of entry with their sand, dust, mud, and moisture means that only small areas require constant cleaning instead of the entire house. Responsibilities are reduced to a minimum If hangers, hooks, and clothing compartments are as accessible to children as they are to their elders. Today modern features of kitchen cabinets may be embodied in the family antique to place all supplies and equipment in plain sight and within easy reach, Mrs. For example: Barrows declares. broad, widely separated shelves. where supplies are piled on top of each other and articles are lost behind numerous other things, may have filled between them a miniat ure "stairway" to provide greater space or more efficient storage. Up right partitions may also be introduced to provide vertlcle sections in which such articles as pie plates, lids, muffin pans, and trays may be quickly slipped In. Home storage conveniences that are possible to provide at little or no expense are too numerous to mention, Mrs. Barrows says.

If you will pardon my reference to The American Legion as it may appear in connection with some instances to bring out points important and vital to all American citizens and try to grasp the point I am trying to bring out, I shall be very grateful. This occasion is a time that should be devoted to celebration and rejoicing, yet, after twenty years of ageing, we the men who served in the uniformed forces of our great nation, and you men who formed the vast civilian army doing your duty to just as valiantly and with the same objective in mind are now mature enough to look forward at objectives not seen twenty years ago, and in some instances not even preesnt. Our aim now is to make our citizens Americans. The American Legion now boasts over one million members and through the time elapsed since its organization it has gradually grown in size and prestige due to the sound and stable foundation on which it was built.
