GRANGER Controlling the Cost of Living. A program is being developed by the WMC and the Agriculture Department to provide labor for record agricultural production in 1943. The plan, vhicn will be worked out in detail during the winter and launched as soon as g planting begins, includes the following continuous emprovisions : Full-timployment of mobile groups of experienced farm workers, transported at government expense from one area to another as the crops mature; relaxation of legal barriers which now restrict the complete mobility of labor between States; transfer of experienced farm operators and workers now on substandard lands to productive areas of labor demand; expansion of the U. S. Employment Service farm placement machinery for direction of farm Jabor movemnt and full-scamobilization of local volunteer groups; adjustment of farm wages to bring the income of farm workers more nearly into line with that of industrial workers; and a farm labor training and management program, nov being developed, by the Agriculture Department and the Office of Education, to aid farmers to make the most effective use of the fewer number of experienced workers through expert supervision, training and upgrading. Price Administrator Henderson said that wartime controls over the cost of living assure farmers and labor the most favorable economic position in American history. Mr. Henderson estimated cash farm income, including government beneft payments, at for 1942, which is 79.3 above 1939, and the net income of farm operators, after all expenses are paid, at $9,800,000,000, or 118 percent over 1939. He said the level of net farm income is the h!ghest in history. It exceeds by a full billion the income earned by farmers in the fabulous year of 1919 and every dollar of this income buys vastly mor ethan it did in that sp-in- e, le year. Continued on Last Page.

Gas Ration Squawker The following is an excerpt from a letter by a Navy man, a Utah boy, Stationed at a Naval base, written to one of his relatives in Bear Lake. Im surprised to hear about J being so hostile about gas rationing. All it would take to get over that feeling is to put the squawker out on one of the oil tankers and let him try to get past the subs. Ive seen them bring in tankers that have been on fire and torpedoed and some of the men so badly burned that they dont look like human beings. Some get burned up so badly that nothing is left but bones. You see when a torpedo hits a tanker it is like throwing a stick of dynamite into huge barrell of oil there follows a terrific explosion. , So if any of the squawkers would like to take a trip on one of these tankers and gas is so precious lo him the Navy would gladly enlist him for this kind of duty. In the Chaplins Department we have to bury these dead sailors as well as the sailors of the enemy subs that lose their lives. When we recover the bodies I get to see some very gruesome sights. So when I hear someone getting hefty because they have to give up hunting or a vacation, Id like to see them on one of these tankers and theyd change their tune.

Randolph RICH COUNTY 11, Food, Food and More Food, h-- i become the wartime objective of the Farm Security Administration, and all normal peacetime activities of the agency have been revised to promote the single task of feeding America and her allies, according to Lloyd K. Schlappi, FSA County Supervisor for Rich and Daggett counties. Our organization, from Washington right down to the office here in Randolph, has been directed by Secretary of Agriculture Wickard to shape all its efforts during the coming year toward increasing production of food and fiber Mr. Schlappi said, and we aim to do just that in spite of reduced personnel and limited funds. To make sure of full output Secretary Wickard ha3 ordered FSA to work out food production goals for each borrower family and assist in every way possible to see that these goals are reached. This work will be carried out in closest cooperation with the County War Board. Farm Security began to lay emphasis upon greater food production early last year. The 1943 program will be a further intensification of the drive begun six months before Pearl Harbor. Mr. Schlappi said that L. I. Hewes, Jr., FSA Regional Director with headquarters at San Francisco, had instructed the local office to judge every loan FSA makes in your counties on the basis of how much additional farm produce such a loan will contribute lo the nation. Farm Security loans help farmers o shift into high gear production when lack of credit prevents them from fully reusin gtheir land and manpower sources. The loans pay for the feed, seed, fertilizer, tools or stock needed for maximum output. The supervisor predicted a wartime increase in cooperatives and in loans to set them up, particularly for mabechinery use and repair services, cause the logical way to use material rapidly disappearing from the market is to share it among the largest possible FSA to date number of farm units. has helped finance 32 cooperative services with 261 members in Rich and Baggett counties. Mr. Schlappi said that his agency's entire administrative system has been changed to make sure that special farm problems of each locality are given full attention. Instead of operating m terms of regional or state farm problems, FSA now plans its activities to meet the most localized needs, within small areas of each state. "This means that the Farm Security program as a whole is planned from the bottom up, not from the top down. The result is better service to each farmer and each locality, he PARTY HFI D FOR LAWRENCE HANNEY Last Friday a group of friends entertained at a party for Lawrence Han-ne- y who is leaving soon for the Army.

S. and two trucks, two semi-trailsmaller trucks from Hill Field with a crew of thirteen men arrived last Tuesday to gather up the wreckage of the U. S. bomber which crashed in Rabbit Creek not far from the L. B. Johnson ranch Sunday, Nov. 28, about 11 p. m. Captain Forsythe was in charge of the wrecking crew with headquarters at Randolph. The wreckage, strewn over a large area, took the crew three days to find and gather up. Captain Forsythe estimated the salvage at about 25 'tons. Two semitrailers about 75 feet long, were loaded to capacity. The wreckage was neatly loaded and well covered so It was impossible to tell what the itrucks were carrying. It seemed almost impossible that all the scrap loaded on the trucks was once an airplane. The trucks left Randolph last Friday for Hill Field. The U. S. bomber from the Pocatello Air Base, the third plane to crash in Rich county, was returning from a secret mission to Oklahoma City. It was mounted with guns but no bombs. The bomber became lost when it encountered a heavy storm and the radio failed to work. It seems it first became lost over Paris and the south end of Bear Lake coiijnty, circling over these places several times, then flying south over Bear Lake.
