WORLD TRAVELER TAKES FILMS HERE Visits of interesting and even iamous personages were com-monplace occurrences before the war. Now the arrival of some- one not "run of the mill" is un- usual enough to merit headlines. Amos Burg of Portland, Ore., explorer and photographer of note, arrived Tuesday to spend several days as guest of Dr. and Mrs. R. G. Frazier, on the last lap of a six months' tour requir- ed to make an educational film depicting America's industry and phases of American life Mr. Burg had the help of H. L. Garrity, mine superintendent, in traveling over Utah Copper company mine Tuesday to take films of workings of the world's largest single copper operation. Previously filmed are pictures of other mining operations, farm-ing and pictures on national parks, Indian life and New Mex-ico. 1000 copies of the education-al films have been ordered by the U. S. army. Mr. Burg's travels have in-cluded trips down practically every river on the North Ameri-can continent. He journeyed Cape Horn in a sail boat and wrote an account of the trip for National Geographic, for whom he has covered many as-signments and supplied many pictures. One of his most popular articles was an account of the 2600 an-niversary celebration of the founding of the Chinese empire. "FROM SCRAP DRIVE TO XMAS GIF1TIDEAT0LD Collection and transportation were the two big problems Min-ute Women faced in the state-wide scrap drive recently con-cluded. In rural sections huge piles of scrap are now awaiting some arrangement for hauling. War Production Board's gen-eral salvage section announces collection is progressing well and emphasizes necessity for contin-ued effort in scrap salvage. A radio program over station KLO on Armistice day featured three women whose success in scrap drives in typical urban, mining and rural communities was marked one of Salt Lake City, one of Draper and Mrs. J. Dewey Knudsen of Eingham Canyon. Transportation facilities all over United States were shown as the biggest scrap problem, but one which could be solved by commandeering every available means to get the job done. Winter will not interfere with continual collection of scrap any more than it will be permitted to halt men in fighting forces, who will carry on despite rain, snow, ice and mud. Defense in-dustries will continue to operate regardless of weather and scrap collection 'must keep pace. Women are expected to con-tinue collection of fats for glyc-erine, saving of tin cans, silk and nylon hosiery and many other items as their collection is order-ed. Mrs. Knudsen told how scrap collection was made a commu-nity project in Bingham Canvon and money from sales placed in a Christmas fund to send cheer to over 300 fellows in service. The Bingham project was commended as a fine way to show men in service that two facts were true of folks at home: the men themselves were being re-membered and that materials are being gathered so that ships, planes, guns and tanks can be produced continuously and sent to the front. 1 flCEEDS FROM SALE OF XMAS I!

BUS PROGRAMS, SPECIALEVENTS A message from the "Boy Over There" to the "Folks Back Home" was given an interested audience by Otto A. Wiesley, past com-mander of the Utah Department American Legion, at a "Women At War Week" assembly Wed-nesday at Bingham high school. Mr. Wiesley urged that all join in victory drives at home with the singleness of purpose of the fellows at the front. Student body members have every right to be proud of the fine representation they have sent into the armed forces, Mr. Wiesley said. The speaker was brought to the school by the Am-erican Legion auxiliary to post No. 30. At the request of the many who heard Mr. Wiesley speak, the poem he read, writ- - . ten by Bill Herschell, is printed: The kid has gone to the Colors And we don't know what to say; The kid we have loved and cud-dled Stepped out for the flag today. We thought him a child, a baby, With never a care at all. But his Country called him man-siz- e And the kid has heard the call. He paused to watch the recruiting Where, fired by the fife and drum, He bowed his head to Old Glory And thought that it whispered , "Come!" The kid, not being a slacker, Stood forth with a patriot-jo- y To add his name to the roster And God, we're proud of the boy! The kid has gone to the Colors; It seems but a little while Since he drilled the schoolboy army In a truly martial style. But now he's a man, a soldier, And we lend him a listening ear, ' For his heart is a heart all loyal, Unscourged by the curse of fear. His dad, when he told him, shuddered, His mother God bless her! cried! Yet, blessed with mother-natur- e ; ( She" wept with a mother-prid- e. ' f But he whose old shoulders straightened Was Dad for memory ran To years when he, too, a young-ster, Was changed by the flag to a man! ,.. ' Presentation of the honor roll, names of 172 former students of Bingham high school now in the armed forces of the nation, was made at impressive services at Bingham high school last Friday evening. The Parent-Teach- er as-sociation and the student body worked jointly in planning the program, in compiling the list of names and in delivering, in-vitations to parents of the troys, whose names will be listed on a placque for permanent display at the school. The colors were posted and Rhea Lou Olsen sang "The Flag Without A Stain". AH joined in the Pledge of Allegiance. Dr. Adam S. Bennion spoke on "Service", telling how devotion to the ideals that fashioned the country, helpfulness to others and a yearning for learning were all a party of being of service. There is no ration on "Service", Dr. Bennion said, and no. limits to the services our country now requires. Band selections and numbers by the girls' glee club were di-rected by Joel P. Jensen. Paul Richards, student body president, read a prayer as prelude to the thirty-second- s' reverence., Mrs. L. F. Pett, P.-T.- president, spoke of the student body's plan to honor the boys in service and introduced Dr. Bennion. Presentation of the honor roll was directed by Mrs. E. Odell Peterson, who also read "Respect For The Flag". Dr. Calvin S. Smith wrote the tributes to the Infantry, Artillery, Tank Force, Air Force, Navy and Marines. Readers were Faye Cowdell and Douglas Goff. Mary Lou Lyon was the very beautiful Goddess of Liberty. At one side of her stood a soldier, a sailor and a marine and at the other a mother, a nurse and a working man. Student body mem-bers were in a "V" formation on the stage. Songs of the branches of ser-vice were used for the musical background. As the names of the boys in service were called, a mother or father arose and re-ceived from a member of the student body a rose. The audi-torium was filled to capacity. ADJUSTING TO THE TIMES COLUMN Being a collection of news worthy items about a variety of subjects whose common denom-inator is: "It's never happened just this way before". FROM THE LOCAL RATION OFFICE " Every consumer in Bingham district must register for war ration book No. 1 before the December 15 deadline and must have in their possession this book before they can receive war ration book No. 2, early in 1943. Book No. 2 will be used in dispensing several items. Those who for any rea-son have not as vet registered for ration book No. 1, because they had surplus sugar or oth-er reasons, must register at their local ration office in the City hall. MissiXorraine Caul-field, clerk says importance of this order cannot be over-stresse- d. Book No. 1 is to be used in rationing of coffee. XMAS MAILING There are many reasons why the post office department will be handiqapped in handling Christmas mailings. The extra-ordinary job of moving millions of pieces of mail every day to and from soldiers, sailors and marines throughout the world, loss of experienced personnel to the armed services, difficulty in borrowing trucks from army, private agencies or rental from private owners to handle the extra mail all boils down to this: Mail well ahead of the usual December 15 to 23 peak mailing period; send Christmas cards first class mail to insure delivery, Postmaster Earl T. James states. ABOUT COFFEE Beginning November 29 no persons will be able to purchase coffee without surrendering a ration stamp to the retailer. First ration stamp for coffee will be No. 27 of war ration book No. 1, which heretofore has been used only for sugar rationing. One pound of coffee will be allowed for the stamp, good over a five-week- s' period. Ration books of children whose age is shown as 14 years or under will not be good for coffee. All institutional users of coffee should have made application to their board earlier this week.

It's certainly grand, to think people back home haven't forgotten you. For my part I thank all of you for the gift. I certainly appreci-ate it. I suppose you have quite a few boys to send to. They're sure scattered all over the world now. Today I bumped into an-other fellow from Bingham, Steve Amicone, and I was tickl-ed to see him.
