A "Home Industry" Provo would welcome a new industry,, with an annual payroll of $44,750.00 and an operating budget of $66,500, most of which was spent right here in Provo. We have- such an industry, where the dollar mark is far-shadowed by the humanitarian angle, that of being prepared to save the most treasured possession of each of us, our lives. The Utah Valley hospital's annual report for the year 1940 indicates that not only is it an industry which spends many dollars here in Provo but that it also is an institution which reflects credit upon our entire community. Less than two years old, it has already established itself as a most important adjunct of our community life. During 1940, there were 380 new citizens ushered into the world at the Utah Valley hospital. There were 685 operations oper-ations performed, of which 193 were emergencies. These are spectacular figures, but not so important as the 14,946 laboratory tests made, for by these tests the entire health of the community was being guarded. Every hospital in the country is playing its part in national defense, and our own hospital is no exception, for a strong nation depends upon a strong citizenship. Saving lives, ushering in new life, care for emergency cases, prep.-aration prep.-aration and equipment for any epidemic, are all highly important. im-portant. Equally important is the preparedness to ward off disease, dis-ease, to hold clinics and classes of a preventative nature, and. in this the Utah Valley hospital has served us well. We are indeed fortunate to have here a modern institution, well equipped and manned, ready for any emergency and prepared to safeguard tne health of, the ; community. Fewer Farms In the terrific 10 years just passed, the whole number of farms in the United states declined 3.1 per cent, from 6,288,-648 6,288,-648 to 6,096,789. At the same time the average holding increased in-creased from 138 acres in 1910 to 174 acres today. .That is.. partly, due to, the fact-. that the dust, bowl which we have been industriously creating in, the southwest for many years has at last begun to take its toll of blasted hopes and ruined homesteads. . All this means fewer of the kind of men who are solid proprietors standing with their feet on their own land. Such men are the backbone of any country. To make it worse, experts now believe that with high-powered production methods, half as many farmers as labor today could produce all the food the country needs. People living on the land have a value to the country far beyond the mere food they produce. They have a stability, a solidness, shown by no other kind of people. Thus every effort to devise new ways of living on the soil, or farm life not merely as a business but as a way of living, is a contribution contribu-tion to national stability, and deserves encouragement.

Be Sure to Save Record of Expenses On Which You'll Claim Deductions The fifth of six short articles arti-cles outlining the most common com-mon errors of Income tax payers. By NEA Service Maybe it's not too late even now to save records of the things on which you claim expense deductions. de-ductions. When you're making out the tax, save the data on which you base your claim. No end of trouble is caused by failure to itemize the claim in the first place, or to save evidence of the expense later. For instance, a salesman claims that he uses his auto in his business, busi-ness, and claims a $500 deduction for that. It's not pood enough. He must show how he spent the $500, how much for gas, where he traveled, how mucn for repairs, and so on. Traveling expense and entertainment rnusc be broken down to show what was spent for what, and why. "If all the money people say they have given to charity was really given to charity," said one income tax examiner, "relief could be abandoned tomorrow." Of course there's no way to prove that you dropped a dollar in the church collection plate on Sunday, Sun-day, and no way to prove you didn't either. Within clear reason, rea-son, such a claim will be allowed, but whenever possible save receipts re-ceipts or canceled checks. In states ' which have sales taxes, you can usually claim 1 per cent of your gross income as having hav-ing been paid out in state sales taxes, and that's deductible. But if you want to claim more than that you'd better have the stamps or receipts to prove it. NEXT: "Earned Income credit." Go!' i THEy 'RE f I THINK THEY'RE ) NO OME AWFUL. I SUSPICIOUS ASKED.

Biology-Geology Trip Is Planned "That students of biological sciences, geology, and geography trek to southern Utah and northern north-ern Arizona, they are reminded to begin saving for this trip," according to Wilmer Tanner, biology biol-ogy instructor, who will accompany accom-pany the students on the tour. "The group will tour Boulder Dam, Zion and Bryce national parks, and other places of Interest in that territory," informs Mr. Tanner. A limit of 35 students has been made for the trip, which will require re-quire from $12 to $15 to cover transportation, lodging, eating and incidentals. The students will leave either the last of April or the first of May, depending on weather conditions. Pennsylvania has 100,000 miles of rivers and streams.

Merry-Go-Roimd (Continued From Pag On) when Britain will need every possible pos-sible ship. What worries Japan most Is the large number of U. S. submarines based at Manila about GO and the secret maneuvering of a large part of the U. S. battle fleet "somewhere In the Pacific." Whereabouts of these snips purposely pur-posely is kept vague, but they probably could get to Singapore in less than a week and the Japanese know it. A strong U. S. hand in the Pacific Pac-ific can keep Japan in check but also it carries grave risks of war. - I I - ITALY There is Increasing evidence of a cracking Axis. The conference between Franco and Mussolini is one symptom. Appareently Hitler knew nothing about this conference confer-ence In advance; nor did Mussolini Musso-lini know anything . about the conference between the Jugoslavs Jugo-slavs and Hitler. British strategy has been to concentrate all their tire upon Italy as the weakest member of the Axis, thus try to pick off their enemy's one at a time. In this they have come close to succeeding. There are definite indications that Italy would accept peace today if (1) it did not mean the complete end of Mussolini, a gentleman who will never step out voluntarily; and (2) if it did not mean that Germany would take over Italy. THE BALKANS - I - The weakness of Italy is the main reason for the burst of German Ger-man speed in Bulgaria and Jugoslavia, Jugo-slavia, aimed toward the conquest of Salonika on the Aegean Sea. Once the Nzis take that key port, they can spread throughout the Greek isles, using them as air and submarine bases for disrupting disrupt-ing the British navy in the Mediterranean; Med-iterranean; also for blasting Suez. At present, the Nazis have about 1,000 planes in Bulgaria against about 600 British planes in Greece. With Turkish help the British and Greeks could stand off the German army for weeks, perhaps indefinitely. But without either Turkish or Jugoslav help, the Greeks and British are beaten before they start. RUSSIA . Russia is the key to developments develop-ments in the Balkans, and the Soviets hope that neither the British Brit-ish nor the Nazis will win. A long drawn out war leaving an aftermath after-math of economic turmoil is Stalin's goal. Last fall, when Germany considered con-sidered going through Bulgaria, Russia tipped the balance against Hitler and for the British by supporting Bulgaria. Now that the British have the edge in the Balkans, Russiais topping the scales toward Hitler. To this end Stalin has withdrawn his objection objec-tion to passage of the Nazi army through Bulgaria. GIBRALTAR j : It is difficult to confirm what happened during Franco's recent conferences, but best information is that he opposes a German move through Spain to take Gibraltar. Whenever Hitler decides to move through Spain, however, Franco will be helpless to oppose him. THE NORTH ATLANTIC For Great Britain the Atlantic Ocean and the English channel form the most important front of all; also the most dangerous. The British Isles now are ao well fortified that optimism is justified if they have to resist actual act-ual invasion. However, Hitler can win his war without invasion, and here is how he can do it: The British shipping situation at present is nothng short of desperate. des-perate.

KENT FINDS OUT CHAPTER XII A NTT'S letter was a brief scrawl, written in a shaky hand. "Dear Ones I will be home in a few days. It's no use staying stay-ing any longer. The audition with Vivano was a miserable failure. It seems as if all I want now is to have you close to me, so I can forget these last weeks with my foolish hopes and dreams of success. Perhaps it was necessary to teach me a lesson. For the rest of my life I -will ask nothing more than to be happy in the real blessings bless-ings of my family and my beloved be-loved Kent." It was signed "Ann" and it looked suspiciously as if a tear bad blotted it. "It's Ann,'' April found herself Kaying to Octavia. "Our Ann is coming home." Octavia burst into such a halle- lujah of song that if Vivano had heard her, he might have thought he had the find of a century. At last, April Burnett knew there was only one thing to do. Ann was returning, to be, as she had written it, "happy in the real blessings of my family and my beloved Kent." . Ann's beloved Kent. A PRIL must reach Kent at once, confess to him what she had done and beg his promise never to tell Ann, "Don't bother with supper for me," she told Octavia. "I'm going out." Octavia's cream and chocolate smile vanished. "Not tonight, Miss April! You clean, out of your wits?" "I think I am." "For what for you goin to sail out in a storm like this?" April was reaching for her own fur jacket and the tiny calot she wore like a monk's cap on the back of her shining hair. "If you must know," she said, "it's to bring a little breath of April to the winter blizzard." Octavia coaxed, cajoled, threat- - ) 3.500,000 ton of shipping. This year they estimate they will lose 4,000,000 tons. Reason for these losses is that the British navy is spread so thin in vital areas. It has 180 destroyers destroy-ers left, but 170 of them are used in the Mediterranean and along the European coast from Norway down to North Africa. This chain of destroyers and light cruisers is necesary to prevent Germany from breaking tne blockade. Furthermore, destroyers have to come into port for refueling repairs and to rest personnel. British Brit-ish destroyer crews have ' seen such grueling service that men of twenty now look 40 years old. This apportionment of destroyers destroy-ers leaves only about ten, plus a few light cruisers, for convoy work across the North Atlantic. CONVOYS ONCE A MONTH Result is that only three or four restroyers accompany - a convoy, and convoys now consist of around 60 ships, moving so slowly that it takes two weeks for them to cross. The destroyers go half way across the Atlantic, then return re-turn while another group of destroyers de-stroyers meets the convoy mid-Atlantic. mid-Atlantic. Destroyers are now so scarce that convoys are sailing only once a month. German planes are able to fly out, locate the position of the slow-moving slow-moving convoy, tften notify Nazi submarines. It is reported that submarines have a certain hour of the day when they come up for radio messages to get the location of ship'3. In addition to submarines the Nazis are now using long range, four motored bombers, similar to our flying fortresses, against trans-Atlantic convoys. The Nazis are reported to have only nineteen of these, but tney can fly half way across the Atlantic and return re-turn with devastating effects upon up-on convoys. Al lof these factors indicate why British shippirg is in a desperate des-perate spot, ana why the lease-lend lease-lend bill may mean very little unless un-less American ships and naval vessels are used on the North Atlantic supply routes.

And your father, why he's like to clean get rid of me after the 20 years Ah's spent raising you and Miss Ann.". April was to remember this afterwards, even to the questioning question-ing look in Octavia's hurt eyes and the last words, "Lawd help us Lawd help us all." The sentence started ringing in April's head. If Ann hadn't written, writ-ten, if the letter hadn't arrived at this deadly psychological time with its pathetic appeal, April knew she would have remained stubbornly silent. Frankly, as she told herself, she would have lacked the courage to hfive confessed con-fessed to Kent. Ann's letter changed everything. This time when April started out there was no pretense of being be-ing Ann. From the calot and the jaunty coat with its lingering scent of the corsages that had been pinned on it, right down to the suede shoes with the high heels, she was all April. Yes, April Burnett Bur-nett on her way for the reckoning reckon-ing with Kent Carter. 'T'HE trip up the hill in the road- ster would always remain something out of a nightmare. At a garage along the way, April stood ankle deep in snow while a mechanic put on cnains "Bad night for driving, isn't it?" he asked with a bumptious chcerx ness, "What oh, yes, very bad." "Should I charge this to your father, Miss Burnett?" "To my father? Yes, please.' "Better take it easy on the road up to the Carter place." The me chanic grinned knowingly. Vaguely, she wondered how he should know she was going to the Carter home. Small towns were funny. They knew everything. Ann would never honk a horn. She thought it rude, bad-man nered. But April honked tonight until the home on the hill opened and a wrinkled face appeared briefly. Then the door opened again and Kent came out, stooped old Negro beside him to help him to the car with his bags "Kent." April found herself saying, "111 take you to the train There's something I must tell you." "There wasn't any call for you to chauffeur me," Kent answered in an expressionless voice. "I've been trying to getyou all day by telephone, but I guess you know the storm's put the lines out of order."

He was back in uniform and the broad-shouldered coat had a certain cer-tain swagger. The visor of the officer's cap shadowed his face and made the dark glasses less noticeable. That wasn't all. April saw the turn of his chin; was aware that his mouth was set in an uncompromising uncom-promising line. "I'm a little early so we'd have plenty of time to make the train," she began haltingly. "Maybe we have plenty of time for this, too," he said. Before April could move, Kent's arms encircled ners, arms without with-out gentleness. Slowly, his lips brushed across her cheek and then came 'down to crush her mouth. She tried to push away, but the hammering of her heart made her limp. This wasn't the kiss he had given her yesterday on the hilltop. This was something different, a searing, shattering kiss. TT1IEN it was over, April pressed " one hand tJ her lips. Kent had no right to do this unless unless he knew. He'd said he hated cheap love-making. By the dashboard light, she saw hi was shaken, too, and sat remote, aloof in his corner of the seat.

Intent on the driving, she could push every other thought and question from her, except the memory of that shattering kiss. The windshield wiper labored as it cleared an arc in the glass and the tire chains rattled with a steely, discordant clatter. Neither April nor Kent spoke until the car had reached the foot of the hill. Then Kent broke the deadlock, "What was it you wanted to tell me?" Deep within her, April sensed what was coming, so on impulse she stopped the car. The white night came down like a curtain as she turned to Kent.
