A part of the $125,000 being raised In Salt Lake county by the Red Cross will be used for purchasing materials for the sweaters.' Labor voluntary. . Chapters from the middle west, and. In the western states were ordered to send supplies to storehouses store-houses In the Pacific area. Civilian clothing, cots, blankets, food and other supplies will be kept In reserve re-serve for any possible need on the west coast Ner warehouses are being estab lished at Ogden, Las Vegas. Reno and .Pendleton. Due to rapid shifting of field representatives of the Red Cross with units of the army, navy and marine corps, local chapters were ordered to give prompt service to any emergency request ' from an adjacent military establishment.; Every day telegrams and radio grams are received in Salt Lake from enlisted men from all parts of the world asking aid In settling family problems at home. The requests this month with 265 inquiries, are nearly three times what they were a year ago. This duty was assigned to the Red Cross by the Congressional chapter of 1905 which authorized the American Red Cross "to furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded wound-ed of armies in time of war," , and "to act . . . as a medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their army and navy." Already the Red Cross has a staff of 400 Red Cross field directors di-rectors and assistants now cover ing every military and naval camp and hospital The force will have to be augmented now, Mrs. Stowers said. pat 125 Pounds or so of rusty P9 on your dmvm . i, "when' mixed with other H aerial bomb; fuTthprmnno Pounds n . v' 1-ton JZ - " WUi maKe one t .-nuum tank." . r mi amount. ..... on i-Jr "aP avau' me manu- ieSJ min mac1 runs CL150 tanks h. uwa m the Libvan itSU. hth.tasvT,ie.nse.Bards metal ofT.: . to iMbkfarmslntol.

Brandenberger. a Swiss chemist, chem-ist, born In 1872. and doctor of the University of Bern, Switzerland. Contracts granting canning crop growers an average increase of $5.52 per ton for tomatoes and an increase in-crease of $1750 per ton for peas were agreed by representatives of the Utah Canning Crops Association Associa-tion and the Utah Canners' Association Asso-ciation at the Utah State Agricultural Agri-cultural college recently. Prices agreed on forv1942 were $19 per ton for United States No. 1 tomatoes and $7.75 per ton for No. 2 grade. Pea growers will receive an average increase of $17.50 per ton with seed coasting four dollars per bushel The California Packing Company will pay a premium of $7.50 per ton on canning peas of the Surprise variety and $5 for the Pride va riety. The prices set at the conference are in line with advances asked by the United States Department ; of Agriculture to encourage increased acreages in the "Food For Freedom" Free-dom" program. : Goals established by the Department Depart-ment call for a 1500-acre- Increase in peas In 1942 and 300 acre In crease in tomatoes. These Increases are not large but a farm-to-farm canvass showed that growers In tended to decrease rather than increase in-crease acreages due principally to unsatisfactory prices. Growers state In the survey that these crops require more labor than a number of other crops and since war Industries and military service have greatly reduced the supply of labor, farmers growing these crops would be confronted with labor shortages. ; While the purchase program di rectly affects the processor it was intended that price increases should be passed on to the grower. March of Dimes Campaign To Start At a meeting held Wednesday night under the direction of Clar ence A. Grant or American Fork and Leroy Johnson of Provo, chairmen chair-men for Utah county, instructions for carrying out the infantile paralysis par-alysis "march of dimes" campaign in the various communities of Utah county were given committee workers. work-ers. Each town organization was In structed to appoint a chairwoman to work with Mrs. W. XL Callahan of Provo, recently appointed county vice chairwoman, in the campaign. tl is expected that birthday balls will be held on January 20 by Cedar Valley, American Fork, Provo, Spanish Span-ish Fork, Spring Lake and Goshen at least, Mr. Grant said. Lehl, Pleasant Grove, Orem, Sprlngville and Santaquin will cooperate with picture show houses to secure special spe-cial funds, and Payson will spon sor a special "search for talent" program, he declared. At all high school basketball games held in the county on the date of the presi dents birthday a slight increase will be made in the ticket charge to go into the fund, Mr. Grant de clared. The Alpine School district has drawn plans for a $604,500 school building improvement project to provide additional school housing needs for the anticipated influx of students when the new proposed steel plant expansion comes to Utah county. ,The plans are already ouV estimates made and a request for federal aid on the building project sent to Washington, D- C. Plans were prepared by John Fet-zer, Fet-zer, school architect, in connection with Leland Perry, progress works administration representative, who recently made a survey of the population pop-ulation increase in the district as a result of the new steel industry expansion, already authorized by the federal government. This survey disclosed the fact that additional school room would be needed In American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Lincoln, Sharon, Spencer and Page. Under the defense set up school people are informed that to meet emergencies the federal government provides up to 90 per cent of the improvement costs where it is impossible im-possible for the taxing units to finance fi-nance the necessary improvements. On this basis the district has gone ahead and gotten out their plans and forewarded them to Washington Washing-ton with an application for the 90 percent of the cost. This has all been done so : that valuable time will net be lost when the steel plant building gets under way and the actual need for housing Is here. If the need does not develop for the buildings they will not have to be built, but if it is found that the developement comes to this section then the district will be setup to meet any public demand- Government engineering crews have already been In the field and from the best available information the three new pig iron furnaces will be located at the Ironton plant but the steel unit will be located at some distance from there. The government engineering crews Just recently finished surveying a 160 acre tract of ground just south of the old Geneva resort site. Another site checked Is near Provo and the third west of Spanish Fork. The announcement of the location of the steel rolling mills plant must come from Washington, D. C. and no one in the state seems to know Just where the location is to be made until the decision Is made at the national capitol- This Information should be coming thru in the next few weeks, It Is stated by those close to the project.

TOTAL School District Repays Tax Loan An even $100,000 tax anticipation loan was paid Tuesday by the Al pine School, district, Clerk Joseph Walton said yesterday. The amount was returned to the Walker Bank at Salt Lake City which company had supplied this amount to carry the school district since July 1, 1941. Interest on the loan amounted to $808-34 which figured only one-half percent on the amount borrowed for the full time. The rate of interest set up in the obligation was one and one-half percent but when computed com-puted on the amount drawn and the time used, including attorney fees the actual interest paid was less than one percent. Receipt of the 1941 tax moneys made it possible for the district to repay this loan. |
