A member of the Legion Auxiliary was placed in charge of each ward and with a corps of energetic workers the town was thoroughly canvased at an early laour. With such helpers there is little wonder that more people peo-ple wore the little red poppies than were ever worn here before. Of the. proceeds taken on this sale 40 per cent is sent to the state for child welfare and the other 60 per cent is retained in this unit for the use of disabled veterans and their familles. Mrs. Iverson and the American Legion Auxiliary wish to thank all those who helped to sell the poppies and those buying this little flower for their support in this worthy endeavor. en-deavor. o ALPINE STAKE TEMPLE EXCURSION The next regular temple excursion from Alpine Stake will be on Monday, Mon-day, June 3rd.

Alpine News Mrs. Leonard Bates, Reporter Poultry Day Celebration to Be Revived Under tha leadership of the American Amer-ican Fork Lions club and with the assurance of the help of every civic and church organization and busi ness in the city, Utah Poultry Day is to be revived and staged annually in this community, it was determined deter-mined at a meeting of the directors direc-tors of the Lions club Friday evening. eve-ning. When president Leo O. Meredith suggested that conditions had im proved sufficiently to Justify the revival of this annual event every member present was highly interested inter-ested and heartily in favor of getting back of the project and seeing' that it is put over. After a careful analysis an-alysis of the matter it was determined deter-mined that the best date for the celebration was the last of June. At a meeting Monday of the representatives rep-resentatives of other various organ izations of the city the matter was taken up and this group also promised prom-ised their unified assistance in getting get-ting the matter underway immediately. imme-diately. A meeting' of the general public, together with all organisations, will be called In the near future to organize, or-ganize, appoint committees, and get the work underway for the largest celebration we have ever staged. o Roy Whitby Wins Attention As er Mr. Roy Whitby, a native of Alpine, Al-pine, has won the attention of critics crit-ics in Los Angeles as a singer of coming note. The following item recently appeared ap-peared in the "Daily Times," one of Los Angeles leading papers: "Many visitors to the Sunrise Service Ser-vice at Hollywood Bowl were disappointed disap-pointed at the unavoidable absence of Mr. Roy Whitby, Los Angeles' promising young baritone. A head cold prevented Mr. Whitby's appearance ap-pearance which your correspondent is not entirely sorry for- I must hasten to explain. As we all know, the oratorio singer is at a disadvantage, disadvan-tage, for oratorio singing is not music, but some churchly or Biblical Bib-lical message imprefectly disguised as such. Oratorios combine only the blending of tone and pitch and is lacking in range, color and quality. qual-ity. "Mr. Whitby does best on more difficult hemes. As we know a disciple of Paganini may not play chords as complex as does the vir-tuso vir-tuso of the keyboard; but he can and frequently does indulge in double-stopping, with the result that we then hear more than one note produced pro-duced at the same time. Mr. Whitby Whit-by is unique in that he seems, to trained ears, to give the tonal effect ef-fect of two notes at the same time, a feat heretofore unperformed by singers. "The oratorio would add nothing to Mr. Whitby's reputation, while the more difficult arias lend scope to such a voice so richly endowed in virtuosity." o ; D U.

Carrier Service Should Be Protected Patrons of the local post office should cooperate in protecting our city delivery service by adhering strictly to postal rules and regulations. regula-tions. One of these rules which is most commonly broken li jhat pertaining to mail going out by carrier. Too frequently patrons call at the office and request their mail from these carriers. This practice upsets the routine of the office and tends to "ball up" the carriers when delivering. deliver-ing. The inspector has called attention of the postmaster here to this rule and insists that it be adhered to, if we are to maintain the carrier system. Sec. 779, Postal Laws and Regula- i tions, prohibits the distribution of carrier mail at the office. o .

"U" Sociologist Studies Old-Age Dependency Here Salt Lake City A total of 346 Utah county residents 65 years of age and over received old-age iienslons and 523 other Utah county residents over 65 received relief in forms other than old-age pensions in 1934. In addition addi-tion to thoee aged persons who were in the county infirmary, according to a thesis written by MLss Elizabeth Eliza-beth Deuel, Salt Lake City, graduate student in sociology at the University Univer-sity of Utah. The thesis, "The Administration Ad-ministration of Public Old-Age Pensions Pen-sions in Utah," was prepared under the direction of Dr. Arthur L. Becley, head of the sociology department at the state university, as a make -work FERA project. Although 6,487 Utah citizens 65 years of age and over are dependent, only 963 or 4.2 per cent receive assistance as-sistance In the form of old-age pensions, pen-sions, according to the report. Counties Coun-ties which have active old-age pension pen-sion systems at present are Weber, Davis, Morgan, Salt Lake, Wasatch, Utah, Uintah, Sanpete, Grand, Beaver, Beav-er, and San Juan. Counties which have had pension systems at one time, but which have abandoned them because of lack of funds, are Juab, Millard, Piute, Washington, Garfield, Carbon, and Duchesne. The 11 other counties in the state have never had a system of old-age pen sions. "In extent and amount of assistance assist-ance the present old-age pension is obviously inadequate," the report states. "The average monthly pension pen-sion is only $7,43, The administration administra-tion is not uniform. One person in the state receives the maximum amount of $25.00 a month and others receive as low as 3.00 a month. Undoubtedly Un-doubtedly there should be variations according to locality and individual circumstances, but it is apparent that if a person needs relief to the extent that he can qualify for the pension, $3.00 is certainly not a pen sion; it is a dole." Suggestions for improvement made by Miss Deuel include the passage of a state-wide mandatory old-age pension law, to which the county and the state would contribute equal amounts. She suggests that for the present the maximum amount of the pension should be set at $25.00 a month, which would be reduced to $15.00 If the federal government will match this amount.
