May Aid School Lunch Direct relief clients may bring tliur produce to the centers; to be canned under supervision. Special contributions will be used for the school lunch, Mrs Brown stated. Citizens wishing to aid in this project are urged to bring their produce to the centers and arrange to have it canned.

Fuel is now the biggest problem, Mrs. Brown said, and the cooperation of civic oganizations, city and county governments in putting this project across, will be much appreciated. DUCHESNE DOWNS MOON LAKE TEAM WITH 21-- 7 SCORE Duchtsne went on a free hitting spree Sunday at the expense of the two Moon Lake Construction Camp pitchers to win easily 21-by a iscore of The first inning Duchesne scored five runs batting around once. Calvert, Moon Lake pitcher, was exceptionally wild, hitting three Duchesne batsmen and giving hits freely. Case, who replaced him, was little better, while Casper on the mound for Duchesne had little trouble reining his opponents. Every man on thie Duchesne team scored one or more runs, with Shelton, Peterson and K. Casper bringing in three tallies each. A return game will be played in the near future. Moon Lake promised a much more interest7.

It is being constructed by the Northwest Engineering Co. as to also hollow the Gusher-Halfwa- y stretch in Uintah county.

All of the right-of-wa- y has been (Cleared, and over 700 feet of the trench completed, ready for the pipe. From sdx to ten man are being employed on the project, which is under the charge of J. M. Mickelson, foreman. The improvements, which are set up as a WPA project in conjunction with tlie riprapping project, which is now nearly completed, include the laying of 2365 feet of flowhne pipe, extending North along the Duchesne river from the present intake, which is some dtotance above the city limits. At the upper end of the line a filter bed will be constructed under the bed of the river, which will consist of several hundred feet of open-en- d drain tile, laid in screened gravel. The drain tile system will empty into a small concrete box, from which the water will flow into the city system through the new flowline. Pressure Increased An additional thirteen feet will ,be added to the pressure now carried in the system which is regulated by the present intake on the old line, which is kept open constantly, as a safe guard to the pipes against excessive pressure from ,the reservoir. The project originally call id for the installation of 12 inch cement pipe, but as the line goes til rough brushy country, this is benow thought unadvisable, cause of the hazard of roots growing through the pipe and eventually cloging it. Councilmen C. H. Selch and Arthur Orr spent Wednesday in Salt Lake City interviewing Chief WPA Engineer, Harry C. Jessen, and cast iron pipe distributors there, and report that favorable prices and concur-ranc- e by Mr. Jessen, indicate that cast iron pipe will be more advisable.
