Dance January 23rd And House To House Drive Is Planned Here The clothing now in progress drive which to furnish is cloth- in war torn ing for the destitute lands will have an active time this coming week. A dance will be held in the high school gym next Wednesday, the admission to the dance being one by the payment of at least article of clothing. This dance is sponsored by the Legion, and every one is invited to attend. There will be good music, and as before stated, the admission is by at least an article of clothing. There will also be a collection of old clothes one day next week. This will be a house to house collection, and the day and further will be announced particulars later. It is true that there have been a number of drives, and that we are getting used to drives until the appeal is rather worn off, but if we were in one of the war desolated countries, and had to the poverty and privation which those who live in these countries do, it would take a new meaning in our eyes. en-du- te Soil Conservation District Reports Satisfactory Progress ' Progress made in the care of southwestern land and water resources during the past year is indicated in Utah through the increased activity and cooperation achieved during 1945 by the Uintah Basin Soil Conservation District, Leon P. Christensen, chairman of the board of , supervisors, said today. Twenty-seve- n soil conservation districts totaling over 5,000,000 acres in New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah, were organized during the year, Mr. Christensen said. One hundred seventy-two districts are now functioning in the four states, covering more than 93,000,000 acres. The Uintah Basin District has the distinction of being the largest in this region, comprising 5,423,100 acres. The number of cooperators with the Uintah Basin District has increased from 161 to 185 during the year, bringing the total number of acres in the district under agreement to I1 J i r I Mrs. Allred passed away at Provo, and funeral services were also held in Provo last Monday.

A crew of men went into Sowers Canyon early this week, and started getting out the logs. These logs will be hauled to Duchesne, where a saw mill will cut and plane them for the lumber to put in the hall. About 70,000 feet of lumber is expected to be secured at this time and when that is secured the mill will be started, so that by spring there will be ample lumber for the commencement of building operations. Quite a group of men are now from in the canyon, mostly Bridgeland and Arcadia, and the logs when ready will be hauled here by volunteer truckers. The timber work is under the direction of Mr. Lowell Clement, and the power saw belonging to the Clement Company is being used to cut the logs. Commercial Club Makes More Donations For Local Improvements At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Duchesne Commerical Club held recently 100 they voted to contribute toward the building of the stake and ward hall at Duchesne, and also voted to pay Mr. White of Tabiona $30 for his expense in hauling elk into the Tabiona area.

Murdock Inspect Bushnell Senator Abe Murdock, who in the interests of norhtern Utah, recently inspected the facilities of Bushnell General Hospital at Brigham City, showed the deepest concern over the fate of the dolldr army reser-atio- n big which is slated to be abandoned by the army about June 30. He declared he was against shelving the institution unless it could be shown that it is not adequate as a veteran's hospital following army evacuation. If thorough investigation proves the hospital adequate for veteran hospital operation, I shall fight to prevent its abandonment, he said.

WASHINGTON o ftMMBSHMKBif The spread of infantile paralysis last year is graphically portrayed in the above map. A total of 244 cases for 1945 are listed with the Utah State Department of Health. An additional 13 cases not intended in the above breakdown were listed as cases. All but 11 of Utahs 29 counties were included in the infantile paralysis epidemic which struck thes tate last summer, according to an official tabulation by the State Department of Health. A total of 244 cases in which Utah residents were afflicted was noted in the reports from county physicians during, the year. In addition. 13 counties in which were victims of the dreaded disease, t also were reported during the year. With the 1946 March of Dimes Campaign now under way, Senator Ira A. Huggins of Ogden, Utah Chairman of the March of Dimes Committee, pointed out tnat the epidemic last year grew out of only one polio case reported by January 15th. To date this year, five new cases h;ve been registered in at the polio treatment center in Salt Lake City, making it urgent that Utahns give more support to the March of Dimes than ever benon-reside- nt ts fore, said Mr. Huggins. While 11 counties last escaped having an official year polio my appreciation for the column and your efforts to make the state a better place in which to live. I believe you would be glad to welcome any suggestion to help put Utah on the map and I am to attract tourist dollars an avid sportsman and lead almost every publication on the subject. Now, if the sportsmen of Utah would spenS a little time along with the sportsmen from other states, and brag about The big one they got at Fish Lake or that deer they got at Cedar, and tell it to the fishing and hunting magazine editors along with pictures, they could help Utah a great deal. The magazines are simply begging for such articles. Ive seen ai tides from other states but very few from Utah. We have just as many big deer and elk as other states; but unless we tell the world about them, sportsmen from other states will not Include Utah in their vacation plans.
