S. gunboat Panay by Japanese planes is now laid before every person in the United States by Universal Pictures in the form of indelible motion picture scenes of the actual attack. The amazing film achievement of Norman W. Alley, who photographed the entire episode from the deck of the Panay, Is contained in a special feature which comes to the Venice Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday, January 11 and 12. The picture the only complete account of the Panay attells a story that starts tack with the first alarm in Nanking, the burning and bombing of that city, and the tumultous evacuation by panic stricken Americans. The frantic embarkation aboard the Panay comes next. Then the attack and following that the struggle and privations of the wounded survivors marching along the Yangtze River, in constant peril from Japanese Army patrols until rescue comes in the form of the British gunboat, Bee. Even as Americans rush to see this unparalleled depiction of an event that shook the world, high governmental officials in Washington are looking at the same picture, so that they too, will see the truth for themselves. The actual, and almost completely exclusive scenes of the Panay attack, comprise an episodic presentation of a major event in political history that has never been depicted before. The film contains the only scenes showing the sinking of the boat, its side almost completely destroyed In the attack and reenacts several other actual occurences exactly as they happened under the hawk-eye- d camera that was wielded by the intrepid Norman Alley.

By far, the vast majority of these people are desperately in need of health supervision. There are 1152 square miles to cover In order to reach every family in need of help. From the little ramshackled homes nestled in groups of trees way out on the west hills or those at the foot of majestic Mount Nebo, to the neat and attractive modern homes of our fair city Nephi, come children and adults in need of guidance in their health problems. To know these people is to love them. I have been working as a public health nurse among these people since July L 1937, and with al my heart I can truthfully say that they are the most congenial and group of people among whom it has ever been my privilege to work.

Information Is Given on National Setup First-han- d information on the Governments Social Security Program was brought to the citizens of Nephi Thursday by Sherman H. Reusch, assistant manager of the Social Security .Boards Salt Lake City Field office. Mr. Reusch met with employers who have Social Security problems and with persons who have claims e Insurance provisions under of the Act. He explained that workers in business and industry now reaching age 65 are entitled to subcash benmit claims for lump-suefits Filing of the claim is much simpler than many had believed. Claimants must fill out a simple form known as wage earners Mr. Reusch said. application, To this is added a statement of employer, giving amount of wages and an identification certificate signed by two persons who know the worker. No expense or fee is involved in filling out the papers. Even notarization is not required on claims of less than $100. Where workers, regardless of age, die in included employment that is, workers in business and the widow or near relindustry ative or executor of the decedents estate is entitled to file a claim for 3 per cent of the total wages paid since December 31, 1936, up to the date of death. "More than 36,000,000 persons in business, commercial and industrial employment sthroughout the United States and Territories now have Social Security accounts and are building up credits with the government which will provide monthly beneft payments when they at tain the age of 65, after 1942. Un-il- y payments 1942, only lump-suare being made." The public was cautioned against Inconfusing the Federal Old-ag- e surance program with the Old Age Assistance provisions of the act. "Old Age Assisantce means money payments to people who are old and needy, Mr. Ruesch explained. Such payments are made in amounts fixed by the states. Old age insurance is the retirement income payable to wage earners who are 63 years old and no longer at work. This plan went into effect January 1, 1937, and does not cover people who were 65 before that date. Old age insurance is based on wages, and will be paid to qualified wage earners regardless of need, or other income they may have. Oldige assistance is administered by the States, while the Federal Government alone administers the old age Insurance plan.

Y. U. was the speaker. He discussed our present economic and social problems from a general viewpoint. He maintained that most of our problems are caused by the fact that we attempt to solve modern economic problems in this changing world by the use Economic of ancient formulas. thinking Is not keeping pace with mechanical and scientific progress. We have a very good industrial system but we havent learned how to use it. We are producing for profit and not for use. We measure civilization in the terms of the material wealth which we possess and not by the amount of culture, happiness and sociability we get out of life. Something is wrong with a system in which we produce many times the amount of goods that we now enjoy, yet, many of our machines and laborers are idle, and a great number of our people are without the necessities of life. If we do not find a way to correct the evils of our present economic system, the patience of the people will become exhausted and a new system will be substituted. In the general discussion following the lecture, Professor Miller brought out the idea that people are happier in the smaller towns where there is better home life and community sociability, than in the He said that we larger cities. have plenty of resources right here in NephJ If only we could find our Teach and develop them. young people to develop these resources at home and then measure their success not by the material Income they receive, but by the happiness they receive in living with and serving their friends and neighbors. The people who are regularly attending these lectures every Wednesday evening feel that many people are missing a rare cultural opportunity in not being present. If it is worthwhile to travel to Ephraim, Provo and Salt Lake City to witness such performances, isnt it worth your time to attend those at home and thereby, encourage such things in your home community.

Mc-Cu- for Farm Forest Trees List Ready Tree price lists for 1938 farm woodlot and wind break planting stocks are now available from the Utah State Agricultural College, J. Whitney Floyd, Extension Forester, has announced. These informational pamphlets containing a list of the species for the year, the prices, planting suggestions, and a description of each tree, are being mailed to more than 3000 farmers in Utah this week. Those receiving the price lists are farmers who have previously procured trees at the college and others who hav made inquiry for such information during the year just past. Twelve different trees are listed for distribution this coming spring. Of the softwoods or evergreens there are Ponderosa pine, the blue spruce and eactern red cedar; of the hardwoods there are Russian olive, Siberian elm, green ash, hardy catalpa, black locust, honey locust, black walnut, Siberian pea tree and golden willow. The red cedar (eastern) is the only new species being added this year. Its unusual hardiness and rupid rate of growth makes it a very suitable tree for establishing a permanent windbreak around farm buildings. The farm forest tree distribution project is a federal and state cooperative program. Through the provisions of the Clarke-McNar- y law the federal government provides one half the funds necessary to produce and distribute young for-e- st trees to agriculturists throughout thgcooperating state. This makes it possible for Utah farmers to obtain trees for their purposes at a very nominal price. Trees are grown in a nursery that has been established and managed under the supervision of the school of forestry at the Utah State Agricultural Colege, Mr. Floyd said Since the trees are practically all grown in the state, very good survival has been had from previous years plantings. A11 farmers In the state who are interested in the planting of trees are invited to see their county Agent or write to the Extension sendee at the State CoUege. av-aib- le |
