Fish and Game Officials Make Application For Fedeal Fish For Streams letter was received from her son, Howard E. Wallace by Mrs. J. Vem Rife of Duchesne last Wednesday. This is the first word that they have had from him for several months, but the letter is in his handwriting, so they are sure that it is really word from their boy. It reads as follows: To Mrs. J. Vern Rife Box 315, Duchesne, Utah Dear Mother: I hope you are getting the letters I have written to you. I havent received any from you since I wrote last, but expect to get some in the future. I am feeling swell, and am in perfect health. I certainly hope you and family are the same. I sure get homesick at times. Longing to see you and rest more every day. Give my love to Dad, baby Tell sis, Bobby and everybody. Bob I miss him very much. I have gone my limit, so will have to close for this time. Last year was the first time that we have received any fish from the federal hatchery, as there has not been an association for some time before which was qualified to make the proper application to have the fish allotted here. Since the reorganization of the Moon Lake Club there has been a great deal done which will improve the fishing and hunting conditions in the Basin. Friday, January 26th is the regular meeting day of the Club, and the officers are desiroug to have everyone who is interested In fishing and hunting come to the meeting which will be held at 8:00 oclock that evening in the Board of Education offices in Duchesne. Quite a number throughout the county are interested 7n this club, and should be at the meeting on January 26th. With Invasion Forces In The Philippines !l4i American Red Cross field men moved into the Philippines with our troops on invasion day, and hard on their heels came such familiar Red Cross installations as canteens in the forward area, then regular clubs back of the lines. Less than 10 days after the first landings, ten tons of Red Cross supplies were on hand to provide the men with refreshment and comfort articles. The first American Red Cross club opened in the Quezon Club at Tacloban, capital of Leyte. More than 3,000 American and Philipino itroops thronged the club on opening day, three weeks after the beginning of the invasion. Just how effective the Red Cross communications are under stress was shown when a soldier landing with the second wave was greeted by an American Red Cross field man with the news that he had just become a father. Mother and child, some 6,000 miles away, were doing fine. 11:4 v 4, JH A B.

Maw in his mesage to the Utah State Senate and House of Representatives which met last week for the first sessions of the twenty-sixt- h legislature. Among the projects Governor Maw recommended for post-wa- r neployment were the establishment of small scale industries in the agricultural areas; highway construction, reclamation, public buildings, airport development and cooperation with other states n a Build the west program. lie likewise advocated a one jent increase in the gasoline tax to provide funds for the construction and improvement of secondary roads. As a means of matching federal funds for future projects he asked the legislature to grant the various political subdivisions of the state authority to build financial reserves through current taxation. From preliminary outward appearances the legislature seems inclined to go along with the Governor in the general outlines of his post-wa- r proposals. How the lawmakers will respond to some of the detailed recommendations remains to be seen. In the first week, major legislation introduced embraced such far ranging subjects as the nonpartisan election of the judiciary, increased pay for members of the legislature, extensions of the of the workmens provisions compensation and labor relations act, an appropriation of $225,000 to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers for a memorial building, increasing the salaries of the governor and other elective state official as well as increasing the salaries of city mayors, commissioners and auditors. The state municipal league authored a bill directed particularly at the country newspapers under H. B. 2 by Thomas M. Reee, D., Salt Lake, removing the necessity of including a list of warrants issued in the county auditors annual published statement. The only bill passed was in the senate, where they ran through S. B. 1, increasing the pay of legislators to the new constitutional limit of $300 per year. No opposition is anticipated in the house. The only opening flurry of the session was a two hour deadlock of the Senate Democrats, who couldn't decide on a president. Dexter Farr of Ogden, however, outlasted Alonzo F. Hopkin of Woodruff to get the election. Republican senators offered token opposition by nominating Sen. Mitchcl Melich of Moab for the but he could only presidency, muster four votes on the show down. W. R. White of Ogden was unanimously reelected speaker of the house after some preliminary y skirmishing by supporter of J. Boyer of Springville. Thus Weber county men attained leadership of both houses, the first time these places have gone to men from the same county In many years.
