Lewis B. Her- shey, Deputy Director of Selective Service, at the request of Congres sional leaders. In a telegram to State Directors of Selective Service, General Her shey said that he is advised by these Congressional leaders that when pending legislation (S. 1524) Is en acted, that such age group will be deferred and with provision retroactive re-troactive to July 1st calling for the discharge of all such Inductees. For that reason, he said, further inductions induc-tions in this group should be 'post poned for a period of thirty days, pending final action on the bill. His telegram to the State Directors Direc-tors reads: "Congressional leaders have now publicly stated that there is no difference dif-ference of opinion as to the merits of the age provisions of the bill to defer men who have attained the age of twenty-eight years on or before be-fore July 1, 1941. "Congressional ' readers have re quested the Deputy Director to take immediate action with respect to the deferment of such men. "As bill is now written, men who have attained age of twenty-eight on or before July 1st will be subject to discharge if inducted on or after July 1st. r "Based upon such requests, and the statements made that the age provisions of the bill will be passed in substantially their present form and the retroactive provisions for discharge, you will inform Selective Service Agencies in your State that the induction of such men shall be postponed for a period of thirty days pending final action on the bill. ln Hie event theTsill Is not jassi ed such men will be subject to induction in-duction in the normal manner upon the expiration of the period of postponement" post-ponement" -'.. , -' : S. 1524, as passed by the Senate gave the presiaent aisereuonary power to make deferments by age groups. It was amended by, the House Military Affairs Committee to defer registrants more than 27 years old.

A Jolly good time is in store for everyone.' Poultry Day Celebration Set For July 29th The past two weeks have been so full of entertainment that I feared the town was too busy to think of industry, but I haven't forgotten. The spirit in which the town co operated in putting over the cele orauon ,nas given by addea cour age to discuss the possibility of making Lehi an industrial center. I saw in one "write up", the state ment that through the splendid co operation of all It was plainly dem onstrated that "it can be done,' meaning that we can put over any celebration we wish, or any plan we undertake, if we will Just co- opeerate and boost such undertak ing. v . That has been my idea from the beginning and I am thinking now- how much more important it is to provide industryemployment and a payroll for our citizenry, than to provide entertainment for a short time, v' -..: . I appreciate the work and coop eration of all the committee mem bers in the different divisions of this celebration, and want to con gratulate them on their results, but I am surprised that many of them as well as many other community leaders, both church and civic, have not even so much as sent a post card to Mr. Lehian stating they are Interested and desire to coop erate in a plan which should bene' fit everyone in our community. Per haps they think that such a plan would not work or perhaps they think that "it can't be done" .a Conducted In Lehi V LOGAN National defense har become the number one job iz America, no less for farmers that anyone else, commented Sidney J Nebeker. chairman of the Utah State AAA committee, in an an nouncement of the agricultural de fense boards being set up in each state and county in the nation. These boards are being estab- listed because of the Increasing amount of defense activity affect ing farmers and farm organizations. The establishment of these defense boards made up .of representatives of the department agencies dealing with or affected by the defense pro gram, indicates the increasing In tensity and comprehensiveness of the whole defense program. The county AAA committee chair man, David H. Jones, has been des ignated as chairman of this de fense board for Utah county. While these chairmanships will impose an additional burden upon what is already al-ready a heavy task, they offer AAA workers wider opportunity to take a vital part in this great program of national defense, Mr. Nebeker said. The designation of AAA repre sentatives to head these defense boards imposes a two-fold respons ibility upon us in AAA, he added, First, there 13 the responsibility of carrying through the job of de fense among our farm people. Sec ond, there is the responsibility that we must, more than ever before, co ordinate our work with that of the other agencies of the department of agriculture. Through this co operation the work of defense will go forward as a united effort which cannot help but succeed, he said. In each county the county de fense board will be composed, of representatives of the AAA, thi Farm Security Administration, the Soil Conservation Service,' "Forest Service, Rural Electrification ""Ad ministration, and county Extension Service, and constituent agencies of the Farm Credit Administration. AAA Committeeman Urges Farmers to Insure Every Year "Crop insurance every year!" That Is tiie advice of David H. Jones, chairman of the Utah county AAA committee, who said today that it is about time to begin thinking think-ing about insuring the 1942 wheat crop. He pointed out that since premium prem-ium rates on "all risk" Insurance are based on the actual loss cost of the farm, as far as possible, a farmer farm-er is contributing to a group re serve only the amount of wheat it will take to pay his losses when they come. If he misses a year, not only Is he taking a chance of losing los-ing his crop the year it Is not In sured but he is weakening the group reserve. . Since all reserves to pay off crop insurance tosses are held In wheat the more farmers who insure then wheat crop the stronger the reserve. Mr. Jones said. "Because wheat prices are good and high yields are indicated this year is no reason to believe that next year conditions will be so fa- vorable- The whole crop insurance program as a feature 01 the Ever Normal Granary is based on the idea of storing reserves In good years when drouth, frost, insects, or disease take the crop. "Crop insurance do two things that protect the farm Income: First, they guarantee that the fanner will have a crop In spite of all crop hazards. Second, the reserves taken tak-en off .the market help to stabilize wheat prices on the balance of the crop "The farmer who Insures one year and lets his crop go unprotected unpro-tected the next is working against the principles of crop insurance he is gambling with Insurance - in addition to all the crop hazards that confront Mm. The only way to be sure every year is to insure every year," Mr. Jones adTbed. The greatest celebrr on in Amer ican Fork's history is scheduled for July 29th when the community combines the annual Poultry Day and the completion of the new Main street highway Improvement Into one great event. With the date defi nitely fixed for July 29 all committees com-mittees are at work rounding out the details of this mammoth community affair. t Chairman .

Proclamation Whereas a national emergency exists in the supply of aluminum available for national defense, and whereas a nationwide drive for all scrap aluminum Is being sponsored during the ' week of July 21 to 29. Therefore I, Dean Prior, Mayor of Lehi City, do pro claim this period as Scrap Aluminum Alum-inum Week, and urge the residents resi-dents of our city to cooperate in this great emergency by donating any and au articles containing, aluminum that can be spared for use in this our national defense. Dated July 16, 1941. Dean Prior, Mayor. Reception Honors Couple On Golden Wedding Camp Haan, Calif, , June 15, 1941 ...... Dear Mr. Lehian: I am very much interested in your plan of boosting LehL I believe in the saying that "where there Is a will there Is a way." Now, is the time for the citizens of Lehi ' to muster the "will " The "way" will present Itself in due time. I have lived In Lehi for the past eleven years and watched it slowly dying out from lack of enterprises and industry of sufficient quantity to 'Drovide Lehi's own youth with employment I too, was forced to leave Lehi to find employment in an industry which had its very beginning in Lehi, namely, the Utah-Idaho Su gar Company. We of Lehi are descendants of Pioneers, but, where is that pioneer ing spirit? Are we so dead that we cannot be revived? If so, let's have a mass funeral I have watched towns grow into thriving cities in a space of a few years because they started a few industries that attract larger ones. That, X believe, is what Lehi needs to 'do." v.

Two bins are being made, one to be placed in each business district Anyone who has articles containing contain-ing aluminum that it not suitable for use at home may deposit them in the bins or leave them for the boys who will canvass each home for your contribution. If an article is bulky and and contains only a small amount of aluminum remove the aluminum to eliminate the necessity of hauling waste. , If the aluminum article you wish to donate do-nate will have to be replaced it will be better to keep it to avoid the drain on the new supply.

A general feeling is extant among the wheat growers of this section, both exempt and otherwise, that an unfair and dangerous precedent has been established by the act of the Congress In Increasing the specific penalty on the harvest of non-com' pliance wheat growers without due and ample public notice of such Intent. "We further protest this action of the Congress upon the ground that future planning of all agricultural activities could be and might be, subject to the capridousness of ad- minlstrative officers under any act, In that it gives license for personal discrimination as well as unfair favoritisms. In' addition, it has served, and might further serve, to destroy the business and financial stability of our foremost and most stable agricultural citizens.
