Such is the way of democracy and the way democracy must and will be in the future. Out of the current conflict will certainly emerge a new era of opportunity and reward for Individual effort.

CAMPS TO HOLD MEETINGS Lehi's three camps of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers are holding their regular meetings meet-ings next Thursday, November 11, at 2 p. m. All members are cordially invited to attend their camp meetings. The Bluebell camp will meet at the home of Mrs. Lottie Gud-mundsen. Gud-mundsen. Members of the Evansville camp will meet at the home of Mrs. Belva Johnson. Snow Spring camp members will hold their meeting at the home of Mrs. J. W. Wing. of Importance have been developed, and since the present conflict there has not been sufficient manpower available to perform necessary exploration ex-ploration work to find new ore deposits de-posits to replace those now being depleted. The future reconstruction period will place heavy demands upon the metal mining industry, those mining min-ing gld, silver, copper, lead and zinc. Possibly history will repeat itself and there will be other men such as Raddatz, Keith, Kearns, Lambourne, Jackling and Moffat who advanced from the bottom to Industrial leadership. ' 'in.

They divided themselves into three groups, each group asking a section sec-tion of the ward, and, fitted out with hammers and nails, mended each gate and fence on their chosen street. Thus, instead of destroying property as most boys do at Hallowe'en time, they inverted in-verted the custom, repairing instead in-stead of demolishing. The boys later returned to the scout room for a real "feed." B. H. Curtis is their scoutmaster. 'it HtJ 1 Possibly no story is more interesting interest-ing than the story of E. J. Raddatz and his development of the Tintic Standard mine. Raddatz who migrated mi-grated to Utah In the early 1900s first worked as a laborer in the old Mercur district. He always wanted to do something himself and he located a group of claims in the east Tintic district of Eureka. At first his property was slightlingly referred re-ferred to as "goat pasture," but undaunted un-daunted by criticism, he succeeded after years of heartbreaking de-lopment de-lopment in opening one of the great mines of the west, the Tintic Standard. 1 i ..T. J L.1 f. TIDE LEIH SUN, LEin, UTAH Send Help for U. S. Farmers Men With Farm Experience r runi Jamaica, oanamas To Help Save Crops. PHILADELPHIA, PA.-The car swung in through a hedge to a rolling roll-ing field dotted with small, neat, bunk houses. We heard a queer sound from a long building which looked like an army mess hall. "Click, clack, clack, click." "Dominoes," explained McDonald, the FSA man who was driving. "They play dominoes with a fine fury." We looked through the mess hall door. Negroes in sweaters and work pants hunched over tables slapping down dominoes as though their lives depended on it. "Dominoes are the only recreation recrea-tion they have so far," said McDonald. Mc-Donald. "It's one of the problems." These men were some of the 6,000 Jamaican and Bahaman Negro farm hands who have been brought into the United States in the last month to help save crops in the face of labor la-bor shortage. They're housed mostly In farm J curitv cam fnr rant ih,. security camps for migrant labor. This camp was near Bridgeton, N. J., where the men are working on tomatoes, asparagus, peas, beans and, later, on peaches and apples. To Bring 15,000. Other such groups are spotted now in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Mary-land, New York, Connecticut, Michigan Michi-gan and Idaho. There are 3,000 in the Philadelphia area. It's planned to bring in a total of 15,000. But New York, alone, has just requested 5,000. So the figure fig-ure may be revised upward. However, the supply is there in the Bahamas, 4,000, and at Jamaica, 50,000 men available for American farms. The Jamaicans seem to be the preferred group. They drink very little. At home, they say, they drink a little rum. But here, it's too ex- j pensive. The Jamaicans have been a little slow to learn. But once trained, they work carefully, for 10 hours a day. The Jamaicans come from a Negro Ne-gro country. It's a British colony, a fact which lends to amusing situations situa-tions when the Jersey farmer runs into his first Jamaican. Both groups have come into the co'intry under contracts between our government and the governments of Jamaica and the Bahamas. First, all hands were given physical physi-cal examinations to prevent importation impor-tation of disease. To keep them healthy here, each camp 'has an army mobile clinic. So far the ills have been mostly colds and sniffles. The cold, wet spring made them quite unhappy. 1 Work Only on Farms. Second, the labor is here only on temporary immigration visas, and they may work only on farms. Third, our government had to guarantee minimum wages, 75 cents a day from the date of entry until they go to work; $3 a day minimum for three-quarters of the time they're here. That should look good to them. They're accustomed to 50 and 60 cents a day at home. They pay $1 a day for food at the FSA camps; 50 cents a week to sleep in an FSA bunk house, or 25 cents a week to sleep in an army tent. The Jamaicans must send home $1 a day, the Bahamans 75 cents. It's deducted from their pay by the farmer who employs them. The farmer turns over the deductions to FSA which transfers the money and records to the home governments. Give Up Their Holiday To Fill RAF Rush Order LONDON. The air ministry has sent its congratulations and thanks to workers of an aircraft factory in western England who gave up their holiday to fill a special order for the RAF. The plant recently had been scheduled to close for a week's holiday, holi-day, but two hours before the holiday holi-day was to start urgent telephone instructions in-structions were received, ordering a certain number of parts to be completed com-pleted by a certain date. The new plans involved alterations in equipment equip-ment as well as a time limit. The management called for volunteers volun-teers by telephone, telegrams, screen flashes at the local cinemas and by word of mouth throughout the town. The workers canceled their holiday bookings and streamed back to their benches. ' The equipment alterations were completed in double-quick time because be-cause the workshop staffs did 17- ! hour shifts. The job was finished with a few hours to spare, for the workers had more than doubled their normally high output The Lady Sure Packed A Wallop in Her Bag CHICAGO. Roger Gale was taken by surprise when a woman drove up in an automobile at a Northwest Side plant, where he is a watchman, watch-man, handed hire a package and said, "Here, take this. Tra in trouble." trou-ble." Then she drove away. Gale got his second surprise after he unwrapped the package and discovered dis-covered two sticks of dynamite. He called police and a bomb squad confiscated con-fiscated the dynamite.

Illustrations of how various phases of home economics eco-nomics teaching can be made more effective were given the group. ; Approximately thirty teachers from the districts attended at-tended the conference. LEHI DEFEATS LINCOLN Lehi's Pioneers continued their scrappy brand of playing in Friday's Fri-day's game, winning themselves a 26-6 victory over Lincoln high. The Lehi offensive was led by Don Dorton, who scored two touchdowns. The Cooper to Peterson passing combination accounted ac-counted for the other two scores. Lehi now has a good chance of remaining in second place position posi-tion in the league. This position will be clinched if they defeat B. Y. high when they play at Provo Friday. B. Y. has not won a game this season, and the Pioneers Pio-neers are determined that they will not alter their record this week. Portable Air Fields Metal landing tracks for military planes are made in "mats" or sections, sec-tions, transported by truck and laid down in a hurry on desert or plain to establish a landing field in a few hours. The mats are painted to save them from rust and to render them less conspicuous to enemy observers. Juvenile Crime Cp FBI Director J.
