"So the king, he put on his best clothes and started start-ed toward the fishing place.

Wing, chairman. Jack Okey, the rodio announcer announc-er who is recognized as one of the top hands at the mike throughout the west will be here, as will Homer Hukum, the agile bull-fighting clown, who provoked provok-ed many laughs at last year's celebration. (Remember how the bull almost charged Hokum to Pokum last year?) The rodeo stock will be of the same high type, plus a number of "wild and wooly" additions. Novelty acts will also be includ ed. Monte Young and his complete carnival will be here this year, and a number of added attractions attrac-tions will be announced later. Plans are now under way to build an additional hundred feet of grandstand west of the arena, corresponding with the east addition ad-dition of last year. A special oil mulch will be applied to the sidewalks and areas in front of the grandstand to keep down the dust, and add to the comfort of the spectators. The stock chutes will be remodeled re-modeled and the carrals improved, improv-ed, making the handling of the stock easier and quicker if the stock will cooperate. proceeds from previous cele brations have been put to some very worthwhile purposes. One is in helping finance the street markers, and others will be announced an-nounced next week. Watch this paper for details as they are worked out, and get behind the committee, which is pledged to put Lehi on the map as THE place to rear your fami ly, close enough to , the steel plant for employment, but far enough away to keep out of the smoke and odors. Electricity Still Plentiful For All Purposes Electricity has never been too little or too late for war or civil ian needs in this territory and the close of hostilities will see a large block of capacity now used for war purposes, available for better living electrically in peacetime. peace-time. This was the message received Monday by dealers of the Utah county area from members of the general sales staff of the Utah Power & Light Company at a session in Orem. Speakers included in-cluded W. A. Huckins, general sales manager; M. L. Cummings, advertising and sales promotion manager; J. F. McAllister, residential resi-dential sales manager; J. Homer Shaw, commercial sales manager; man-ager; and Glen.B. Walker, industrial in-dustrial sales manager. Other points brought to the attention at-tention of dealers to help them frame their plans for post-war activities were the following concerning con-cerning the Utah Power & Light Company system: 1. Seventeen per cent of the company's residential customers now use automatic coal stokers. 2. 90,000 homes on the system now use electric refrigeration and a minimum market of 10,000 refrigerators per year is seen for post war years. 3. 55,000 families cook with electricity and it is estimated that 6,800 units a year can be sold after the war. 4. 19,000 radios per year were sold prior to the war and this pace should continue when radios again become available. 5. 7,000 families would buy vacuum cleaners and 10,000 would buy electric washers if they were available today. W. L. Faddis, sales manager, of trie Southern division presided at the session.

TTV Til TT T TT 1 jr riaiies nave iuiig insiur; - Some Studies Over 2,000 Years Old A model of a proposed horseless carriage invented by Isaac Newton. The fire was supposed to generate steam which, blowing out the rear pipe, would drive the vehicle forward. Unlike present day "JP" planes, this device didn't work. . . Jet propulsion is a brand new way of driving airplanes through the skies without propellers but, like so many other modern inventions, inven-tions, jet propulsion ha3 behind it a long history of research. In fact, the story of jet propulsion propul-sion in its more, primitive forms goes back over two thousand years. Probably the first known Interest in jet propulsion came around the first century B.C., when Hero, the Alexandrian philosopher, built the aeolipile. This was a hollow sphere supported by two tubes, one of which was hollow and led from a closed vessel over a fire. On opposite sides of the sphere were two right angle pipes. Steam generated gen-erated in the closed vessel went through the hollow pipe and into the sphere which was caused to revolve re-volve by the jet effect of the steam escaping through the nozzles of the small angle pipes. The eminent English scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, best known for his laws " of gravitation, built a model car in 1680 which made use of jet propulsion for motive power. It was a four-wheeled carriage with a spherical boiler which had a nozzle pointing to the rear. The reaction of the jet of steam was supposed to drive the carriage forward for-ward but it didn't work. Other scientist" and inventors worked on jet piopulsion schemes and several important contributions contribu-tions to the field were made in the early 1900's, notably by Marconnet, Lorin, and Dr. Gustav Eichelberg of Switzerland. Interest in jet propulsion was Intensified alter i93U.wnen iranK Whittle of England and S. Campini of Italy began their development of jet power plants for aircraft. Whittle, a group captain in the R.A.F. had developed his jet engine which had a blower compressor mounted on the forward end and a gas turbine at the aft end of the same shaft. The compressor is powered by part of the combustion chamber energy. In -1939 construction Wis started in a jet propelled airplane in England Eng-land and in May 1941 the Gloster-built Gloster-built airplane had its first successful success-ful flight. In July 1941 the results of the British research were made available to the United States Army Air Forces. General Electric Elec-tric Company was given an order to build the engines and Bell Aircraft Air-craft Corporation, builder of the cannon-carrying P-39 ; Airacobra fighter, was given an order to design de-sign and build an' airplane to be powered with two engines. The first successful flight of a combat plane using the jet propulsion principle was made on October 1, 1942, with Robert M. Stanley, Bell's chief test pilot at the controls. Performance figures of Bell's new jet fighter are necessarily shrouded in military secrecy but engineers believe that the field of jet propulsion will open up new vistas of speed and altitude which will be of greatest importance to the future of aviation, both military mili-tary and commercial. Fundamentally the driving power of the jet propulsion airplane is generated by taking the air in the forward part of the engine, mixing it with fuel, and igniting the fuel. The burning of the gaseous mix ture creates a hot blast of air which, driving backward with terrific ter-rific force, pushes the plane ahead through the air at great speed and at high altitudes. Approved Method Given For Holding Labor "Farm Labor: How to Get it and Keep It," is the subject of a bulletin issued this week by the Utah Extension Service, and prepared by G. Alvln Carpenter, supervisor of the state emergency farm labor program. First of all, Supervisor Carpenter Carp-enter advocates making indivd-ual indivd-ual arrangements for the obtain-ing obtain-ing of labor, writing to those' who worked for you in past years, utilizing all family labor, and adopting every possible labor-saving labor-saving device. Organize your neighborhood; work together, he advises. Talk over labor problems prob-lems with neighbors, and take initiative in organizing haying crews, threshing rings, etc. and promote the exchange of labor, machinery and equipment. Support your county labor committee and your county agent. Place requests for help early, being as definite as possible; possi-ble; do not ask for more help than absolutely necessary, and dispose of excess labor supplies; I keep in touch with county labor 1 needs; abide by the wage scale for different tasks in your locality, lo-cality, and do not "pirate" labor . by offering higher wages than your neighbors offer; attend labor meetings and serve on committees com-mittees when asked to do so. The labor head warns that it will be necessary to employ some inexperienced help. Selective j service has taken many farm boys; but they will be partially replaced by Mexican nationals, prisoners of war, soldiers and Japanese evacuees. The principal princi-pal sources of supply will be teen-age youth and women rrom towns and cities, and these workers work-ers will need training and proper treatment, but will prove of value this season. Train and supervise help care fully, by explaining the work, demonstrating steps, having the worker do the job and explain it back to you, correcting mistakes, and working inexperienced help in small crews. If properly train ed and supervised, inexperienced workers will "deliver the goods" states Mr. Carpenter. Treat help with consideration by making them feel at home, having a definite understanding of wages and hours, parcelling out work to those who can best do lt organizing recreation, praising good work, making available all necessary equipment equip-ment such as boxes, ladders, buckets and bags, providing plenty of drinking water, keeping keep-ing first-aid equipment on hand, employing workers continuously, and providing adequate housing.
