Show WEATHER Date M A Little Help When Needed, Takes Care VOLUME XXXVIII NO. 52 BEAVER CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT Greenville Boy MATTER OF WEATHER Indorsement by Coast Planning Conference Insures Success This week Mayor Thompson and the County Road crew have been awaiting the nod of the weather man on the improvement of the runways at the Municipal Airport. The program calls for the cutting of the weeds that have sprung up since the last scraping and leveling was done, so that' the course will be in a usuable condition, when Engineer Bergen has promised to land here and spot the position of the. well and hanger and other buildings. With Beaver occupying second place on the list of Airports to be constructed with federal funds (second only to the city of Price, Carbon county) the future of Beaver in the Airways transportation system is virtually assured, and local people are anxious to do their part to speed the completion of the local field. Because of the unusual amount of sunshine, and the absence of fog, Beaver Airport is destined to become an Important one in the transcontinental system. The character of the formation, too, is destined to play an important part and makes the laying of. expensive concrete runways unnecessary, at least until traffic becomes heavy, as a small amount of work, plus use will make the field usuable In almost any kind of weather, with only the use of a bulldozer to remove snows if and when they present a problem. The two direction runways also afford favorable wind directions for landing and taking oft at all times. Mr. Moore and his students of the High School shops have constructed an air register for the local field, which will be erected this week, and regular readings recorded of the velocity and direction of prevailing winds data which is imperative in successful operation of flying fields. The spring promises considerable activity at the local field, regardless of whether the war Is settled then or not. And when the war is over, Beaver will be In line to do its part in the new transporr tation system of days. post-wa- Christmas Party The Relief Society Sisters of the Beaver West Ward held their annual Christmas party last Tuesday in the Relief Society rooms of the a West Ward chapel, with Pres.

In Training TYPES OF WORK Community planning for devel- opment of job opportunities for this type of worker is recommended as a constructive venture in direct aid to the war effort. A younger man released from less arduous work can accept a job in speeding the construction of the igasoline plant in Salt Lake. This is the most important job now confronting the state. The quicker we can get this superfuel flowing in quantities desired by our army and navy, the quicker the all-oattack can begin. 100-octa- ut DR.

MAY SEEK CERTAIN Joseph S. Mayer, Utah director of the War Manpower Commission, said Wednesday that the Buand Survivors Inreau of Old-ag- e surance will include stuffers or flyers with the monthly insurance payments to its thousands of recipients during the first week in January, 1944, urging them to report to the nearest local office of the U. S. Employment Service and to accept employment which will not affect their monthly insurance payments. Among the types of work open are farm labor, domestic service, clinic or hospital work, city, county, state and federal employment or certain other necessary services for civilian needs. Such work is not covered by the Social Security Act and persons accepting it will and receive their monthly old-ag- e survivors insurance payments as usual. Employers are urged to make special effort to utilize the services of such workers. It is recognized that in areas of surplus labor supand surply, utilization of old-ag- e vivors insurance recipients will probably release other workers who may become available for clearance to shortage areas. . .

There were 350 students included in the cast, and for a school performance it certainly was most commendable and satisfying The teachers of the Belknap School spent considerable time and a lot of hard work preparing and rehearsing for the operetta. The rendition of the various parts was ample evidence of this. Add to this the fact that due to sickness and colds several of the pupils were unable to take their parts, which had to be reassigned and relearned almost at the last moment, and you can realize the enormity of the task faced. But with the assortment of fine musical talent embraced in the Belknap, the "show went on" and the audience was in no wise disappointed. There was a large attendance at the entertainment, which was held in the Bearer High School auditorium, and the performance was enthusiastically applauded. There were brownies, rabbits. fairies, and even old Santa was present in person, and a right jolly old fellow he proved to be, laughing until his fat sides shook and his grey beard almost fell off. Performances of this kind af ford uplifting entertainment, and excellent training for the young people taking part. snow-flake- s, it |
