Current events are brought to the students by means of the monthly news reel, furnished to the school for showing by the Utah Oil Co. and the Brigham Young University, Newsweek Map, and the Readers Digest, as well as other daily and periodical publications. Advance literature is sent to the school, telling of the compiled current events photographed for the monthly news reel by the Utah Oil Company. Included in the first one shown this week at the Duchesne High School, were of the earthquakes in Greece, exploring deep caves in France, scientific experiments. The reels require approximately 30 minutes for projec-- tion. There is no charge to the for use of the educational film, but the schools are required to pay the expense of forwarding the film to the next school on the schedule for the film showing. In this district the films are now shown monthly at the Duchesne High School and the Roosevelt Junior High schools School. The 6 x 3 ft. Newsweek Map gives pictures and notes of world happenings during the past week. These are so arranged to give the geographical location of the event. Forty Readers Digests arc available to the students monthly. These subscriptions are purchased from laboratory fees the student pays to' the school. Each student has plenty of opportunity to read a copy of this condensed reading material. Study and discussion of this current material is a part of the regular class work at DHS, reports Principal Walter M. Reimschiissel.

You may be interested to know that in the U. S., rats annually destroy as much food as 200,000 average farms produce enough to feed 10 million people. Rats breed six to 10 times a year. They have an average of eight young per litter, and the young rats become capable of producing more young when they are 90 to 120 days old. It is estimated that the rat population in many parts of the United States approximately equals the human population. Rats carry and spread at least 10 human diseases, including typhus, bubonic plague, rat bite fever and tularemia. They are carriers of livestock diseases, including trichinesis and pseude rabies, and they carry various kinds of fleas, lice, and mites, and many internal parasites. They even attack humans, particularly sleeping babies. With their sharp incisors, rats can gnaw through lead pipes, work their way through poor cement walls Jhree inches thick, and cut through oak planks, sun dried bricks and slate shingles. Rats start costly fires by gnawing through insulation on electric wires. Rats destroy about 10 times more property and food than they actually eat. It is estimated that each rat costs the farmer $20 per year. We all know the question is how to control or get rid of these rats. First of all, proper sanitation makes the job easier for any rodent control method. Clean up, brush and junk piles, place firewood or lumber on platforms 18 inches above the ground level, clean up the yard and eliminate all rat harbon-ageis the second important preliminary control measure. Its chief disadvantage is its cost. In involves blocking off all points of entry according to- a plan. Windows, doors, spaces around pipes and wires entering buildings, foundation walls, and footings may Extension bullebe tins on proper methods are available to anyone desiring to undertake this project. But these are only the defensive measures that may be taken. Now, what about the attack? Traps, gases, poison baits, drowning, cats, dogs, and ferrets, all having varying degrees of effectiveness have been weapons against rats, and now also we have the new clotting substance on the market under many trade names, the most common probably is Warfarin. According to government reports, this material is our best bet in the fight against rats and mice. Follow directions and use caution in whatever program you may use, and I would like to encourage each of you to do something. I cant see how its going to pay to winter a rat. s.

Continued from page 1) In 1903 Mr. Johnstun was married to Blanch Anderson, of Castle Dale. To them the following children were born; Mrs. Lillian Reese, Ogden; Mrs. Ethel Schonian, Salt Lake City; Mrs. Madge Faucault, Drager-ton- , and Richard Johnstun, of Duchesne. They all survive. In 1928 he married Hildur Winterose, of Heber, and has resided in Duchesne since this second marriage. Other survivers include his Karl Wilken-son- , widow, a step-soof San Jose, Calif.; a brother, Charles Johnstun, Price; a sister, Mrs. Lenora Housekeeper, San Point, Idaho; 14 grandchildren and 3 Thursday, September 24, 1953 Oil News System To Care For Disabled Veterans Community Service was the theme of the fall convention of District 9 of the American Legion and Auxiliary that convened at Altamont High School, with the Altonah post as the host. It was a very successful convention, announced William (Bill) Murdock, district commander, who conducted the conventions proceedings. The assembled delegates were greeted and addressed by department leaders and made plans for special programs on a post level to honor returning Korean veterans at a banquet. Meetings of the Auxiliary were conducted by Mrs. Jo Anne Tolboe, of Myton, district president. Earl Chandler, national American Legion field representative, from Boise, Idaho, told Legionnaires and Auxiliary members that it was unfortunate that recent action of the heads of the American Medical Association has caused strained relations between that organization and the American Legion. Chandler stated that for many years these two great organizations fought hand in hand in opposition to socialized medicine, and that until recent months they were in basic agreement on the present system of caring for the disabled veteran of this country, who required medical attention in the veterans hospitals. The AMA now wants Congress to change the basic law which now provides free hospital care in veterans hospitals if their disabilities are a result of service, or if they have other conditions requiring hospital treatment and cannot pay for the care in private hospitals. Chandler explained that the latter group can be admitted 'only after they sign a statement to the effect that they cannot pay, and then only if the veterans Following is a summary of hospital to which they apply, oil well drilling activities for has a vacant bed available, the week ending Sept. 21, 1953, as released by the Scouting Diwhich is not needed for vision of Carter Oil Co.: cases.
