Addition of the new man will bring the sheriff's force to 10. The appointment is to be made immediately, immedi-ately, Sheriff Hall said.

Deer Creek Water Division Announced Here Subscribers of the Deer Creek project will receive a total of 10,473 acre feet, according to E. A. Jacob, secretary of the Provo River Water Users association. Letters notifying each subscriber of the share it is to have of this amount have been sent out by the ; secretary of the association pursu ant to order of the board of di rectors. The name of each subscriber and ! the share of water available to it during 1942 is as follows: Metropolitan Metropoli-tan Water district ot Salt Lake, 4805.40 acre feet; Provo Reservoir Water Users' company, 1671.10 acre feet; Utah Lake Distributing company, com-pany, 1587.54 acre feet; Metropolitan Metropoli-tan Water district of Lehi, 52.72 acre feet; Metropolitan Water district of American Fork, 52.72 acre feet; Metropolitan Water district of Pleasant Grove and Lindon, 52.72 acre feet; Provo Bench Canal and Irrigation company, 208.89 acre feet. Of the total amount stored in the reservoir there will be deducted an estimated evaporation charge of 526 acre feet. Distributing Means i The subscribers ha, ve been requested, re-quested, to notify the association whether or not they desire to use their share of water available this! season, and if so, the amount and when and where it is to be used. Under the present physical setup, the only means of distributing the water from the Provo river would be through the Provo Reservoir j Water Users' canal which leaves the Provo river at Olmstead and skirts the point of the mountain and thence north by way of the 'Jordan river to the west side of Salt Lake. Provo City and Provo Bench canal and Irrigation company are in a position to se their -hare of Deer Creek water by direct flow from the river to their distributing systems. All of the water which was stored in the reservoir this year came from the Weber river through the Weber-Provo diversion canal across Kamas bench. More water could have been brought from that source this year as there was a large supply sup-ply of high water which ultimately found its way into Great Salt Lake, but for the fact that the canal had a capacity of only an approximate 150 second feet. This canal is now being enlarged by the United States bureau of reclamation. It is expected ex-pected the enlargement will be fin ished some time late this fall so that the canal will be ready to bring over a stream of approximately 1000 second feet next year. With the supply in the Weber river as high as it was this year, the Deer creek reservoir could have been substantially substan-tially filled had the enlarged canal been available this year, it is said by the project officials.

Director of United States employment employ-ment service for Utah makes this statement that 'Tomato peelers will be paid on a piece rate basis with a guarantee of 30 cents an hour which will net $2.40 per day. It is not unusual for peelers to earn $4 per day after a few days work. Arrangements Ar-rangements for housing and trans portation for those who do not live in the immediate t vicinity of the processing plant are presently being made. We will of course exhaust local available labor supply before asking that workers be transferred from any distant point." Inasmuch as tomato peelers will be needed soon all women who are able to assist in this work are re quested to register immediately at the nearest branch of the U. S. em ployment services.

Bus Lines Now Ready For All Emergencies Buses are standing ready on a few moments notice to move large bodies of troops to vital areas. Already Al-ready they have carried out such emergency moves In amazingly smooth fashion. Thousands of troops have been rushed from bases to threatened or strategic places to beaches or mountain heights along roads where motorized transporta tion alone can take them. A national bus military bureau has been organized voluntarily by the National Bus Traffic association, associa-tion, placing over 350 field repre- . sentatlves of the bus industry at I the disposal of the transportation j officers to facilitate use of passen ger motor carries by the armed forces and selective service system. These representatives have been assigned to camps, induction cen ters, airports, fort bases and army f post to give immediate and correct ! information about the service of the ; various bus lines. Military traffic, with certain provisions, pro-visions, may be handled by the bus lines. Factors which must be taken into account include: Convenience j of service, including arrival and de - parture times, and time in transit, as well as flexibility and adaptability adapta-bility to military routines and schedules.

Metal Harvest To Be Gathered From Utah Farms Sugar beets, peas, celery or any other edible on't be the richer and by far the most important harvest to come from Utah farms this year. ItH be scran metal and from ob solete farm implements. And this "harvest" will not suffer for lack of a market. The nation's steel industry is ready to gobble of the scrap and put it to work on a "foreign market" ... in short, on the battlefields where the fate of human liberty hangs in the bal ance. With this thought in mind, farm implement manufacturers, agents and distributors met Thursday in the ofice of M. J. Greenwood, state salvage director, and pledged their fullest cooperation in a drive to round up all the tons of scrap metals believed to be rusting on farms in all parts of the state. The men will organize committees commit-tees which will contact farmers, and inform them of the vital role they can play in winning the war by gathering up all discarded implements. imple-ments. Aid of the works projects administration will be inlisted in dismantling implements too large to be brought to a central depositing station in their complete form.
