Show RATION BOARD TO BE HONORED BYUONS CLUB Members of Bingham ration board No. 7518-6, having completed com-pleted 20 months service for the Office of Price Administration, will be honored at a dinner given giv-en at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, at Bingham cafe. The Lions club is arranging the entertainment entertain-ment and Alvin S. Nelson, district dis-trict field operation officer for the O.P.A., and H. Grant Ivins, state O.P.A. director, both of Salt Lake City, have been invited to attend as guest speakers and to present awards which have been sent from national headquarters to be given members of the local ration board. Those who serve the ration board without receiving remuneration remun-eration for their work, include Francis J. Quinn, chairman; Roy Shilling, Joseph McDonald, William Wil-liam Fahrni and Robert H. Jackson, Jack-son, board members; C. E. Ad-derley, Ad-derley, Clair R. Mathis. Chris T. Praggastis, Ruby Knudsen, price panel; Ruth Burress, community service member. Also invited to attend the dinner being given by the Lions club are Agnes Steele and Gladys Adamek, clerks. A position on the ration board involves necessity of devoting hours to meetings at which requests re-quests for rationed commodities are considered. Since the Bingham Bing-ham office is known to serve over ov-er 6,000 persons, the clerks and board and panel members can not be suspected of filling positions po-sitions which involve acceptance of a title only. Ration board members mem-bers are wartime patriots who are in reality giving their energies ener-gies to making rationing work in their particular locality.
