He was born May 12, 1890, in Alpine, ana attended the public school there until 1905, when his family moved to American Fork, where he attended the American Fork high school. Later he completed a business education at Brigham Young university. He married Myrtle Greenwood daughter of Jacob end Melissa in the Salt Snow Greenwood, Lake temple on March 11, 1914.

Relief Societies Urged to Supply Help for Canneries Mrs. Eva Gilllsplo, stake Belief -Society president eceived a letter this week from the President of the General Board of Relief Societies In Salt Lake City, urg- ently requesting that the Relief Societies with the U. S. Employment Office in helping to secure workers to help in the cann.ng of fruit and vegetables at local canneries, especially during the tomato season. The canning factories report there is a great shortage of help and unless help Is secured soon much of the local tomato crop will go to waste. All women who can spare any time at all are asked to get in touch with the U. S. Employment office at 40 North University Ave. The peelers will be paid on a piece rate basis but they are guaranteed at least thirty cents per hour or $2.40 per day and many women make up to $4.00 after the first day or two. The employment bureau will help to supply housing and transportation If It is necessary to bring In labor but the local supply of labor will be exhausted first. Although many women in our area are busy with the harvesting of crops, states Mrs. Gillispie, still there may be some who could spare the time to help out in this emergency and thus give that much more aid to the war program.

An applicant Is now required to certify that he is using his car for transportation to defense work and that he is carrying all the passengers which it will aevomodate, in a pooling arrangement with other workers. If he cannot certify substantially to these requirements he will not receive tires, it is stated. In connection with the transportation problem to and from Field it is noted that Geneva many bus lines are now in operation. A casual observation made this week reveals that bus lines operate from as far south as Santaquin and Payson with intermediate bus lines from Spanish Fork, Springville, and Provo to the south and additional bus lines from Lehi, American Fork and Pleasant Grove from tli north. a bus service was from Heber, Midway and Charleston to Geneva Field. Cooperative Groups In addition to bus lines and private car transportation there is a number of cooperative groups operating trucks which have been converted into busses where small groups of workmen get together for transportation. A survey of traffic reveals that there are now almost as many cars and other means of transportation used to and from the Geneva Field as there will likely be when the plant is in full operation. j Up to the present tirhe the highways are carrying the traffic under the expert guidance of the state highway patrol and the Geneva Field guards without unIt is estimated, due congestion. however, that there will be at least three times as many employees employed in the construction of the plant in the very near future as are now working, and when this occurs there will likely be much traffic congestion on highways to the plant.
