We adore club reporters who git their news in the day after instead of the week after the club meeting. We are fond of folks who know typewritten copy should be doublespaced, and of correspondent no whose handwriting requires special decoding. We appreciate readers who realize that no conclave is held in the newspaper office each press day tb decide which small item will appear on the front page and which inside. While we do plan to give front page space to the several most stories each week, there ii, in our finds an equality of importance between the Smiths company on Page 1 and the Jones dinner guests on page 7. We are grateful for fellow citizens who do not make a gleeful practice of pointing out typographical mistakes that get into the newspaper. We invariably find them ourselves the moment the newspaper is off the press, and seldom think them funny. And we greatly esteem those fine souls who take the trouble to compliment us when they have enjoyed a piece in the newspaper.

EFFECTIVE CHANGES IN PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS CONFERENCE SPEAKER ek Bishop LeGrand Richards FORMER HYRUM RESIDENT PASSES AWAY 1 Word has been received of the death of Mrs. Agnes Shaw Williams of Salt Lake City, a former resident Recent changes in the teeth and eye requirments forinduction into the Army will substantially increase the manpower contribution of the State of Utah to the Nations fighting forces, it was announced by Lt. Col. H, A. Rich, State Director of Selective Service. "Many Selective Service degis-tran- ts who were deferred under the old Army standards will be able to qualify for full or limited military service under the new ones, Director Rich declared. Of registrants rejected because of physical conditions, approximately 20 percent were disqualified by former physical tests because of the then stipulated dental requirments and about 14 percent were unable to qualify because of eye defects. Many of these men now can be inducted for full or limited military service. Formerly, jjhe Director pointed out, the Army required that an inductee have a minimum of six masticating and six incisor teeth, 3 masticating opposing 3 masticating, and 3 iucisors opposing 3 incisors. The new dental requirement is merely ability to eat and digest Army "chow. It states: For general military service in all branches: Registrants who have no disqualifying physical defects except a lack of the required number of teeth as set forth in paragraph 31a, Mobilization Regulations August 31, 1940, when, in the of the examining physician, they are well nourished, of good musculature, are free of gross dental infections, and have sufficient teeth (natural or artificial) to subsist on the Army ration. Eye requirements now read: For general military service in all noncombatant branches: Registrants whose visual acuity is below 0 but not below 20-2in each without glasses if correctivle to 20-40 in each eye. (The actual possession of suitable glasses by an individual is not required for his acceptance under these standards.) In a memorandum announcing these new Army standards, National Headquarters, Selective Service System, stated: It is, therefore, directed that all local boards reopen and consider the classification of all registrants heretofore classified in Class B or Class 1V-- F by reason of deficiencies in teeth or eyesight. of Hyrum.
