Miss Grigs, whose vivid personality per-sonality captivated her audience the moment she took the platform, plat-form, has lived in London through the entire war and car ried on her newspaper work In spite of blackouts and bombings. She highly praised the people of the United States for their liberality in sending food and clothing to Britlan during her time of stress and for the continued con-tinued help being sent under the lend lease plan. The whole farming and living conditions of England have changed, said the speaker, as much as one-half more land is plowed up, fens have been drain ed and hillsides cultivated to) make room for added food production. pro-duction. In the beginning too many farmers were let go to war and now the women and children are doing a great deal of the farm work. Many women are running tractors and repairing machinery. In the opinion of the speaker the children have been very much bennefited by this return to the land movement and have accepted it as if it were a birthright. birth-right. The children have asked for studies of farm work to be placed in the clrrlculm of the schools. And there is now in course of development an English Eng-lish version of the American 4-H clubs. The young men of Britian who are helping on the farms are recognized in this training as are the men in the air force for their basic training, which makes the farm help realize the Importance Im-portance of their job. , "The people have learned to do with out and have learned to do things for themselves," said Miss Grigs. The report she gave of the rationing of butter, eggs and some other commodities gave the audience the feeling that rationing ration-ing here had not really begun. She told of the work being done in the country by the home guard, of their long and lonely watches and the very exacting nature of heir work, something of which we have no idea. , "This time let's have a peace where all Will have a decent living and enough to eat," was her closing thought, "The choice will be simple. Let's not forget too quickly the hard lessons of i this war. If we had cared as much about things before as we mum uuuut turns uciuic "- do now we wotua not nave naa this war." Mrs. Mary K. Mower, state president pres-ident of the Utah Poultry Producers Pro-ducers Auxiliary presided and the speaker was introduced by Miss Reah Hurst, county director. Musical numbers were furnished furnish-ed by Miss Dorothy Peck, Miss Eloyse Hansen and Mrs. Del-bert Del-bert Chipman with Miss Agnes Jensen as accompanist. At the close of the meeting Miss Grigs asked for questions and a most interesting Intimate discussion took place. So friendly friend-ly and captivating was her manner man-ner that a crowd was still talking talk-ing to her at 11 p. m. Earlier in the day Miss Gregs and Miss Hurst had visited at the poultry farms of Mrs. Mower and H. E. McNeill. She also lectured in Provo and Spanish Fork during the day.

Transpor-tation. "The Office of Defense Transudation Trans-udation through its General Order ODT 21 is requiring all operators op-erators and users of commercial motor vehicles: ' "to conserve and providently utilize vital transportation equipment, material and supplies, sup-plies, including rubber; and to provide for the prompt and continuous movement of necessary neces-sary traffic, the attainment of which purposes is essential to the successful prosecution of the war. "School buses represent over fifty per cent of the nation's passenger buses. Their conservation conser-vation and proper use during this emergency are of major im portance and concern. New school buses can be procured only In the most urgent cases. Every school bus in the nation is required by General Order ODT 21 to have after November 30, 1942 a Certificate of War Necessity fixing the maximum number of miles of operation, and authorizing the necessary fuel, parts, tires, and tubes for same. These Certificates will be continuously reviewed and revised re-vised to meet only the basic minimum transportation needs. Adherence to policies adopted following many conferences with school authorities and set forth below, will be the basis for determining de-termining such minimum needs. (1) Elimination of Unnecessary Mileage "Bus routes shall be so arranged ar-ranged that the maximum number num-ber of pupils can be transported with the minimum number of bus miles. Bide trips off the main trunk route and mileage without pupils shall be eliminated eliminat-ed wherever practicable. (2) Reasonable Walking Distances "Transortation shall be provided pro-vided only Jor students, teachers, or -other school emloyees who, would have to walk more than two miles to school or more than a mile and a half to a school bus trunk route. Exceptions may be made for those within two miles residing along roads over which buses must pass, if by serving them no extra miles are driven and no additional vehicles are used. Exception should be made for the physically hand! capped or those who otherwise would be subjected to extreme danger or serious physical Hardship. Hard-ship. ''Mileage and gasoline allowances allow-ances certified after February 1, 1943 will depend upon demonstrated demon-strated proof, presented in applications appli-cations therefor by school authorities, au-thorities, showing the extent of adjustment of school transpor tation service in accordance with the poplplpcies presented above."

State Wide Tin Collection Opens March 1st The tin collection program will be made statewide, including Lehl, effective March 1, Mr. Ash, local salvage chairman, said. Mr. Ash was advised by B. L. Wood, executive secretary of the state salvage committee, that grocery gro-cery stores will act as depositories for the tin cans, with housewives asked to bring in an empty can for each can she buys at the store. Brewers and bottlers, making regular, reg-ular, delivery trips through the state, will pick up the cans, taking them to central shipping points at Provo, Ogden or Salt Lake City, Mr. Ash said. "This is an ideal arrangement," he explained. "It means that cans from this area can be sent to de-tinning de-tinning plants where both tin and lronwIUbe prepared Tor further use in fiie war effort. "It is up to the housewives to cooperate now by preparing their tin cans properly and getting them into their grocer. He said the cans should be cleaned, the labels removed, top and bottom cut out, and then pressed flat by stepping on them. This preparation, he asserted. Increases capacity of the detinnlng plants as much as 40 per cent. In addition, it saves considerable shipping space. Food Stamp Use Extended Thru March With the announcement that no more food stamps would be Issued in Utah after February 28, 1943, Mr. J. Worth Gutke, State Supervisor, Food Distribution Distribu-tion Administration, pointed out two ways in which eligible food stamp plan participants could use stamps remaining in their possession: (p Obtain full value of both orange and blue food stamps by purchasing officially designated foods at participating retail food stores before March 31, 1943. (2) Obtain full paid-in value of orange food stamps by presenting pre-senting stamps intact in official book at office where issued. When offered for redemption, every fifty-cents worth of orange stamps must be accompanied by one blue stamp, all Intact in book. Mr. Gutke stated that while the Stamp Plan had already ceased to operate in some areas, a "Blue Stamp Food List" lor February and March would be effective until March 31, 1943.
