WAC'S ENLISTMENT Post War Questions and Means of Meeting Them Receive Consideration at the Meet Unless SALT LAKE CITY there is a sudden rush of enlistments in the Womens Army Corps before December 13, Utah will fail to make its quota in the recruiting campaign of the WACs, Lt. Helen Kooles, commander of the WAC recruiting detachment in Utah, announced. Utah's quota was 100. Among the smaller cities, outside of Salt Lake, Ogden and Pro-vwhere recruiting stations are located, the only locations to make their quota was: Bingham, with two enlistments, and the following women in their cities: Idaho Harroway, of Castle Gate; Clarissa Oswalt, of Magna; Virginia Rogers, of Midvale; Margaret Jensen, of Axtell, and Barbara Sutton of Cedar City. Women enlisting in the current drive will not be compelled to leave home before the. holidays, according to Lt. Kooles. If they request it, they will be granted a thirty-dafurlough, immediately, allowing them to spend Christmas and New Year's at home. Under new regulations, women may enlist specifically for any of 38 jobs in the Army Air Corps, and will be required to take only five weeks basic training before being assigned to army jobs. They may also, upon request, be assigned to the Ninth Service Command, which assures them, after training they will be returned to the Western States, many of them to Utah. The WACs are open to women between the ages of 18 and 50 years, single or married, and if married, without children under 14 or dependent children. All-Stat- es boards today.

President Chaueey Sandberg opended the meeting, and welcomed the group. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Secretary. Mr. Ora Bundy, of the department of Publicity and Industrial disCommission, Development cussed, "Post-wa- r planning and Reclamation." He told the group that five to ten years ago Utah was complacent; but now are being spent in Utah for war industries. Utah is declared one of the five critical areas and the taxing of facilities in this area is too great to meet, creating a serious problem, states Mr. Bundy. People who come in$550-000,0- o, y to our State have a different ground than ours, which will influence our way of life. More vocational training will be in the schools after the war and it is being started now, Mr. Bundy further stated. Mr. Bundy also stated, that there will be excessive housing after the war, that the houses will not be sturdily built; that people will want to stay in Utah after the war and buy up cheap homes and move them on to vacant lots near good homes, not keeping up civic pride; that we must be thinking about what to do with the returning soldiers and civilians working in war plants; that all towns should have specific j plans and specifications, if any- pare a resolution to be forwarded is being thing worthwhile is to be accom- that in Oregon timber as fast as it used three times inbe must there that plished; dustry, a permanent payroll, a is produced.

LAST RITES HELD FOR ALFRED CARTWRIGHT Very impressive services were held Monday at 2 p. m. in the West Ward L D S chapel for Seaman 1 c Alfred Cartwright, who died last week in an Army hospital at Philadelphia of lobar pneumonia, and whose remains reached Beaver Sunday with an Army escort in the person of A. R. Smart, Phm. 3c, who at the close of the services presented the flag with which the casket was draped, to the mother, Mrs. Ida Cartwright. The services were attended by 500 or more sympathizing friends and relatives of the deceased and the bereaved family. Bishop Mark Woolsey of the Beaver East Ward was in charge of the services. A Ladies Chorus sang, "Abide With Me." Velda Smith, Jessie Gunn, Sara Mackerell and Alice Heslington, Lyla Terry and Marion Tolton, comprised the Chorus. Prayer by Thos. W. Gunn. Vocal duet, "Softly and Tenderly Jesus is calling by Mr. and Mrs. Milo Baker. Elder Grant Tolton wras the first speaker.

He had been a home boy and lived for his father and mother and sisters. Now he has gone to join his sister who died ten years ago. He had been left a family heritage any one could be proud of." Elder J. Reed Moore sang "In the Garden." The next speaker was Pres. S. Taylor Farnsworth, who told of the visit he had with Alf when he was home on his furlough at deer hunting season. Told of his sacrifice for his country and hoped the war would come to a close that the boys might return to their loved ones. The ladies quartet sang, "O, My Father." Bp. Woolsey thanked ail who had assisted with the services. Prayer by Elder Melvin J. Witt- REDUCTION IN POINT VALUES OF MEATS, PROCESSED FOODS Reductions, effective December the point values of meat and processed foods by OPA resulted from the release of larger stocks of foods by the War Food Administration for civilian consumption, Wm. Willden, community service member of the Beaver war price and rationing board, said today. "When estimates of food supply are increased by the War Food Administration," said the board chairman, "even as in the case for' only a temporary period, OPA tries to do everything possible to Increase the supplies available to civilians by at once lowerThe larger the ing point values. supply, the easier the job of rationing." Reduction of the entire list of rationed beef items, ranging from porterhouse steak to hamburger, from two to three ration points, represents the most sweeping cut since rationing of meat began last March This cut followed close upon the twenty-fiv- e per cent reduction in the point value of pork 5. in in At the same time, the OPA table of processed foods reveals the greatest number of point reductions made at any one time since rationing began. Fifteen varieties altogether were reduced from one to ten points. A temporary increase in the supply of beef and pork, resulting from the seasonal rush at slaughter-houses caused the slash in the value of meat points, the board member said. The peak period of beef and pork production normally occurs during the last two months of the year. Fairly sharp increases In the point values of all types of cheese and major canned fish items were registered. Both butter and margarine remain at the unchanged point value of 16 points and C points per pound, respectively. The increase in cheese points reflects a sharp seasonal decline in November production, which fell an estimated 25 per cent under October. American Red Cross Fine Service Record In States of West Here is a list of the average number of cases acted upon each month during the period from April 1 September 30, 1943. These figures represent reports from approximately 85 percent of the 332 chapters in the area; therefore, are considerably lower than if reports had been received from all chapters.
