GRANGER Utah Projects Approved. The President has just approved a WPA project for $13,523 to perform flood control and stream bank protection work for the protection of lands within the lower Virgin-Sant- a Clara Soil Conservation , District. The work includes construction floodways t o carry flood waters across the &t.( ,c and Washington Canal, con- -' struct bridges, etc. Production Progress. WFB Director Nelson, speaking in New York City before the Military Order of te World War, said Americas industrial plant is really beginning to roll. He said President Roosevelts war production goals are being met as follows: Airplanes scheduled for January, February, and March have been met or exceeded; tanks ahead of the schedule; merchant shipping rising rapidly and this years schedule should be met; Garand rifles now available for every one of our combat soldiers who is supposed to have one; antiaircraft and anti-tan- k guns schedules for this year should be met. He said, This is no time for easy optimism because the productionof war goods is so huge a job that we can break every record we ever made and still fall short of the need. Cancer Control. President Roosevelt proclaimed April as Cancer Control Month and invited State and Territorial Governors to take similar action. Men and women, the Proclamation said, should be urged by every educational means to make use of available facilities for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer in their communities, with a view to reducing the annual total of 160,000 lives taken by cancer. Priorities and Allocations. The WFB curtailed radical style change in Womens clothes and ordered manufacturers and dressmakers to elminate such excessive frills as French cuffs, balloon and sieev-e- s, patch pockets of woll, pleated skirts of great circumference and long, full daytime skirts or sleeves. Restrictions on woolen garments are effective April 9, those on garments of cotton, rayon and other materials are effective June 19, and retailers are prohibited from selling ensembles of more than two 'pieces at a unit price after August 17. ' The order wiil not affect clothes for this spring or summer, most of which are already made, the Board said. Skirts may be shortened, the Board said, but new ones cannot be longer than the present average: .Rationing. ' Price Administrator Henderson said defense workers will be able to get recapped tires for their motor cars only when no other means of transportation to their jobs is available. Although a limited number of recapped tires is available for defense workers, taxi drivers and others, Mr. Henderson said the fact a car is within the definitions does not automatically entitle it to a recapping or retreading certificate. The governing factor will be the national interest, and not the convenience of the wal worker, he said. Randolph. Utah. Friday April 17. 1942 BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD We have come a long way since that day in 1872 when the first horse-draw- n street car threaded up Main Street in Salt Lake City to the cheers of a throng of spectators who now could see for themselves that progress had at last overtaken the settlement. We use the term horse-draw- n as customary, but m this case with a great deal of reservation, since the Salt Lake "horses had Singularly long ears. According to the files of the t Utah Writers Project, WPA, Alex Toponce sold to Brigham Young, for $75 each, the mules designed to power the first cars, and they were, according to Alex the wildest bunch of young devils in the west! Nevertheless, Utahs first in urban experiment transportation proved very successful, and for 17 long years the mules hauled Salt Lakers around their town. In 1889 the first electric car, a single motor affair powered by direct current, was put in service. Electric service developed through the years until the apex was reached in 1915. Those 1915 vintage cars are the large, heavy, banging, clanging, variety familiar to all citizens. They served for many years, and seemed as durable as Tennysons brook. But progress once again stopped .n as human ingenuity evolved a thing called a horseless carriage." In 1923 the first gasoline bus was put into service in Salt Lake City, and its immediate success in easy routing, cheapness of operation, and acceptability to the public, wrote finis in prominent letters on the wall the. old electric trolley was doomed. Gradually, thru the years, the grand old street cars disappeared one by one by one from the city. In their place raced streamlined efficient, rolling easily on rubber and wending to the districts with ease. On May 31, 1941, amid impressive ceremonies the last'1 of "the bid street cars bowed to the inevitable march of ruboerized equipment, when old Np. 5 sentimentally long to be remembered by University students, was put on the shelf. More fortunate than its horse-draw- n predecessor, however, old No. 5 was almost immediately resurrected when America went to war; for Salt Lake City became an increasingly important center of defense activity, and the city bus system was taxed beyond its limits, despite acquisition of many now units. So No. 5 was hauled out of mot balls and still bounces and clangs up 1st South Street. Is this a portent of things to come? Old Dobbin andhis horse car may clatter once again on Utah streets. . Marriage Hopes Results of a survey made among Northwestern seniors university showed that 80 per cent of the women expected to be married within five years after leaving school, and figured they wouldnt marry unless their hubbies made more than $50 a week. of the women thought its all right for wives to work, while only half the men reckoned they approved of this.

VICTORY BOOK DAY In his press conference on Tuesday President Roosevelt named Friday, April 17th as Victory Book Day. The President, at this time asked Americans everywhere to contribute as many good books as they can spare to the men in the armed forces, the soldiers, sailors, and marines at home and overseas who, while fighting and training to fight, still have time to read, and appreciate a good book. We are eager to enlist your help m this special day in the following ways to stimulate the readers of your newspaper to give without stint, and to interest local milk companies, grocery stores, bakeries, etc., to hep collect the books. It is valuable for the morale of a fighting man to have accessible good books to give him the courage and the it knowledge to fight, how difficult would be for the average soldier to obtain good reading matter without the public at home helping by giving books. Local services, such as stores, milk companies, sgid bajkeries, can have their delivery men, on this Friday, in their contacts with the public, offer to carry the books to the receiving depots. The local depots n ali cases are the local libraries, and in case you wish any further information, the librarian nearest you can help you. Your invaluable support will be appreciated many times over by our fighting men in all parts of the world who, in lonely hours greet a good book as a precious friend.
