From a strictly self~ · interest viewpoint you cannot afford to fritter away war wages in a market of scarce goods. New autos, new homes, new appliances, new radios, will not be coming off production lines instantly the last shot i~ fired by one of your tired rela· tives or friends. War Bonds will make Wonderful peace~ti:me am· munition when they mature $4 for every $3 you store away now. P. S. Just to bring you out ot that postwat· dream, take an· other l ook at the headlines. There's still a war on. You and your money are needed to beat the Japs. The bonds you buy today are WAR bonds. There'll be time 10 years hence for you to think of them as PEACE BONDS. THE EDITOR I ;I • Getting out the paper this Week has been somewhat of an ordeal due to the fact that our plant and office have been torn up by the craftsmen who are re- modeling the building. For a couple of days the entire front ()f the plant was wide open, and we operated the only open-air print sh op in the cou ntry for awhile. When the office was belng ·worked on, we did business on the sidewalk, or any other spot where we could be safe from a falling brick, or whatnot. These builders can make more rubble than a B-29 bomb, but we are glad to ·work under these difficulties when we realize what a great improvement will be made in our quarters. • The beauty spot of Midvaleas it always is at this time of the year-is the city cemetery with its profusion of blooms on the 1·ows of lilac bushes. If you want to see something pretty, just drive down Sixth avenue and gaze at the cemetery. L ost and Found Dept. Mayo1· Rasmussen reports that someone lost a small coin purse .containing about $1.25 in his store this week. Owner may have same by calling at the super market and identifying same. Another person, presumably a male, literally "lost his pants" in Ben Sewell's barber shop this week. At least, Ben says that a customer left a package there which, when opened, revealed a pair of men's trousers. The owner thereof can have same by calling. • The late inclement spring may be discomforting at present, but it mean s lawns and gardens will remain green much longer during the coming summer. • Events are happening so fast around the world that the average A merica n citizen is bewildered in trying to keep up wi\h the latest news. Perhaps never before in history have so many momentous events occurred in such quick succession. Russia seems to be donllnat- • ing everything in conquered Ger- man. The S oviets are t elling the allies what they can do and what they can't do . I n our opinion, it would be logical for us to turn the whole German mess over to the Russ, and bring our boys back home-the sooner the better. • The passing of a great and good man, President Heber JGrant, is mourned this week by the nation, state, and every community where his followers and friends reside. Local Gir I Scouts Honor Mothers Girl Scout troop No. 87 honored their mother s a t a p rogram and tea on M ay 7, at t he M idvale Firemen's hall f rom 4 to 6 p m.

Death of Mrs. Brown Saddens Community Residents of Midvale and vicinity were shocked and grieved this week to learn of the Wltim.ely passing of Mrs Erva Newbold Brown, 42, wife of Zack Brown, supervisor Bf Safeway Stores, Inc, for communities outside of Salt Lake City.

Fri- The Mid-Flora Victory Garden Poppies to honor America's dead warriors of 2 World Wars will be worn in this community on Saturday, May 26, Mrs H E Nelson, president of Jordan unit of the American Legion auxiliary, announced today. The little red flowers will pay tribute both to those men who have died for their country in the present war and to those who fell 27 years ago in France and Belgium among the swayjng poppies. The money that is received for the flowers will be used to aid the afflicted veterans of both wars and their families. , Extensive preparations for the qbservance .of Poppy Day are being made by the Jordan unit of the auxiliary here under the leadership of Mrs .Nelson and rs Erwin. Miller, unit poppy chairman. Everyone in the city will be able to buy flowers of remembrance from the many volunteer workers from the auxiliary who will be on the streets all through the day. The flowers are made of crepe paper on the pattern of the wild poppy of Flanders. They have been ordered from the hospitals where disabled veterans made them. Making the poppies has helped these veterans keep their minds and fingers occupied, causing the otherwise tedious months to pass quickly and at the ,same time furnishing the men with a means of livlihood. This year it is expected that more Americans than ever befoTe will wish to wear the poppies as a salute to the dead soldiers and their bereaved families, and as a :financial aid to the living but disabled soldiers and their needy families.

Midvale City Auditor Reports At the regular meeting of the Midvale city council last Tuesday, E J Reimann, city auditor, submitted his annual report for 1944. A condensed balance sheet and statement of revenues and expenditures will appear in next week's issue. Mr Reimann pointed out that revenues were $3,691.03 above budget estimates for the year and departmental expenses were $246.11 over the budget. The advantage, however, was more than absorbed by capital outlay of $6,578.81, resulting in a deficit for the year of $2,160.88. Major items of capital outlay consisted of the purchase of the North Main street parking lot, the dump property, the Six\h avenue pipe line and the intersection lighting improvement. The departmental expenses and controlable operating expenses for the year included the costs of certain critical materials which became available and were purchased in anticipation of the 1945 requirements .for maintenance and restoration for which substantial amounts have been budgeted for the current year. Mr Reimann expressed the opinion that the trend toward increased operating costs had resulted largely from increased labor costs and that tax levies would inevitably reflect this trend. ----- *WANT ADS ON PAGE FIVE. has been done at the city ball park.
