A Slice of bread - nothing unusual in this country, except that this particular particu-lar piece of bread was lying a-bandoned a-bandoned in a garbage can, awaiting aw-aiting its last ride to the city dump or the piggery or where-ever where-ever bread which has missed its mission in life finally winds up. It was a sad looking thing, covered cov-ered with dirt, dried and shrivelled shriv-elled as an old crone, with that greenish palor which a long seige of mold produces. It was "done in' alright - beyond all help. . tui- niA nf bread was noi n Ha unfortunate entirely muc predicament; however, because there were other slices and bits In the same container, an gated to the same fate, destined to accompany it on its smelly Journey. What a pity that this bread, any bread, should come to such a sorry end. It had been counted out before it had any opportunity to prove its goodness good-ness or worth and was prevented from fulfilling its reason for existence. ex-istence. It was in a sorry state. The tradgedy of a unused slice of bread! HOW WE GET BREAD It was a real tragedy. You see this bread had quite a history. his-tory. It had personality and qu-ftlitv qu-ftlitv ftlso- The grain from which it had been made was of the finest hard winter wheat-selected seed developed dev-eloped after many years of experimentation ex-perimentation by distinguished sgronomists at one of our leading universities. It was planted and nurtured In rich area right close to home here in Utah. The lack of moisture and uncertain weather wea-ther at times made its growth a little difficult, but It was of sturdy stock and soon became a part of a bumper crop in a golden gold-en harvest. It was harvested by a happy, grateful people and carefully, almost lovingly, tmntv ported to a neighboring mill where it was processed. The huge machines pulled oft Its little vitamin-filled coats of wholesome bran (no one knows Just why), and then It was sent to the roller mills where it became be-came lost with millions of its fellows fel-lows in a substance called flour Then it was given a sort of wheat transfusion, where they returned some of the vitamins which it had lost. From here it was passed on to a baker who had the 'know-how' and equip. ment to prepare it for its mir- auuu. u b VI wuiUAilft-wuii ymk Soon it had arrived at maturity maturi-ty a full-fledged golden loaf of vitamin-enriched bread, baked to a turn and oozing with goodness with an aroma that defies description des-cription (can't you smell it?). Yes, it had arrived - an aristocrat arist-ocrat of breads packed with calories cal-ories and nutrition - ready for its destiny. Its mission: to do good, perhrp3 to grace a dinner tcble, to become an afternoon snack for some hungry younster. to become a wrap-around for a delicious hot dog, or any of the million uses to which bread can be put. Everything went according to schedule. The bread was de livered to a store in a brightly colored package. A house-wife came along, admired it, tested it for freshness, bought it, and took it home. Then the tradgedy began. The bread was stuffed in a bread box. It made its appear ance on the table a couple of times, once when there was company, but alas, folks were just too busy eating other things, it returned to the breadbox, and lay there, waiting and hoping that it would get its chance, well knowing that it was deter iorating and losing its appeal. Finally it lost hope and Just sort of dried up. Mold attacked, it and the first thing it knew it was tossed into the garbarge can and replaced by a fresher and better looking successor. Near the end it had hoped that this nice housewife would give it a break and allow it to become a part of some dressing or a tasty pudding, or perhaps be allowed to float around as a crisp crouton crou-ton on a nourishing bowl of soup, but no, it didn't have a chance. It was on its way out -just an old abandoned crust and nobody cared. WHOLE WORLD HUNGRY When I saw this crust I was reminded of those many plcturee I had seen of the starving peoples peo-ples of Europe and India those hundreds and hundreds of thousands of men, women and children whose starved and emaciated em-aciated bodies call out to us people peo-ple of America for BREAD-Can't BREAD-Can't you see them In your mind's eye too weak from hunger to raise their bodies from the earth, their bodies so thin that their sinews can hardly keep their bones together? What a happy reception this piece of bread would have re ceived over there What a thrill to feed those starving people! What a joy and satisfaction if this one crust of bread could find its way to the tummy of some little hungry boy or girl rather than to a garbage pit. MY VOW Today I vowed that I shall not be one to waste bread. I hope that any time I,am tempted to throw away or waste bread there will ceme to my mind a vivid picture of a suffering, hungry, hun-gry, undernourished child with arms outstretched, pleading with soulful eyes for just a morsel of bread - that this will make me resolve to give sustenance, faith and hope to that little guy who is depending on me.

Howells, commissioner, commis-sioner, State Department of Pub licity and Industrial Develop ment, has returned from the National Association of Travel Officials convention at Cricago. in which the State of Utah has a membership . Representatives from practically -every state publicity department in the union were present, along with national travel, vacation, and automobile associations authorities, rail, bus line and publishing officials. "Catering to the' tourist is one of the fastest growing bus inesses in America," Mr. How ells said upon his return, "and next season we will experience a continued growth of the tour ist business in Utah which prosperity in this area.'' While at the convention, many publishers requested more and more Publicity Department photos and other informat ion concerning Utah and her scenic attractions. Mr. Howells pointed out Eicalanit Desert Blooms On the map, that vast area west of Cedar City, is indicated as the Escalante Desert. Until a few years ago, it was just a sage brush covered sheep range. Today, however, the desert is ceing reclaimed and is produc ing some of the finest alfalfa and potatoes found in Utah. Small and large farm oper ators are making the Escalante area pay dividends. The largest larg-est operator in the region is Company. They have reclaimed reclaim-ed 2,000 acres which are now under cultivation five miles north of Enterprise and 35 miles west of Cedar City. At this writing, the last of some BOO acres of potatoes are being harvested and stored in huge cellars. The average yield of potatoes was 173, one-hundred- pound sacks to the acre. The Russets produced by this concern brought $4.23 a hundred on the Los Aogelet market. The White Rose potatoes potat-oes now winding up the harvest har-vest are washed, sorted and stored as certified seed. They are worth $3 33 per hundred The large potatoes are sorted out and sold for "bakers" (baking potatoes,) and will soon grace restaurant tables in Production of High Grade Milk Not Job For Cows Alon 'arrner's Help Required fir IRA MILLER farm Electrification Bureau Although the cow generally It thought of at being in sole charge ot the milk "manufacturing" process, the farmer bears a large thare of the responsibility for the quality of milk she produces.

SPORTS AFIELD The duck crop is down, seriously ser-iously down, was the conclusion of Jimmy Robinson after completing com-pleting the annual waterfowl survey. All hunters are painfully a-ware a-ware of the new and stringent Federal regulations covering this season's duck-hunting. States east of a line extending south from the western boundary of Minnesota, to and including Louisiana, Lou-isiana, were offered the choice of either a 30-day continuous season, or a split season of two periods of 12 days each. States west of this line were given the choice of a continuous 35-day season, or two 14-day seasons-This seasons-This season arrangement is based on a new principle of fly-way fly-way management, and is just and sound. For undeniably the northwestern hatch of ducks, in Alaska particularly, was good this year, as contrasted to poor or almost non- existent hatches in the breeding grounds from Mantioba east. Floods have been responsible for considerable havoc among those species which nest over water. A two-day survey of the famous Netley Marshes, in Mani toba, following the flood of June 10, revealed an estimated 10,000 floating eggs, mostly of red heads. In the east, poor hatches were OREM LIONS ATTEND ZONE PARTY IN P:G. Several members of the Orem Lions Club and their partners attended the Lions Zone party in Pleasant Grove last week.

There is still, however, no cause for general alarm. The curtailed season this year, plus good nesting conditions next year, together with help from man in the form of reclamation projects, should see the ducks make a comeback.
