Do it today and let's put Beaver "over the top" as usual! BEAVER COUNTY HAS CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH By Congressman W. K. Granger WASHINGTON, D. C During the last few years appropriations have been made for the disposal of farm surpluses; one way they have been distributed has been through the school lunch program. This past week the House refused to authorize the appropriation of Federal funds to carry on the school lunch program. This program seems to have had rather widespread approval by people generally, but it now appears that unless some legislation is passed, this program will be greatly curtailed, if not abandoned entirely, so far as federal appropriations are concerned. SOLDIERS' VOTE BILL This week the House will have before it the final passage of the d S o 1 d i e r s' Vote Bill. This legislation has received altogether too much consideration on the part of Congress. At this moment the proposed compromise looks as If it will be more restrictive and will permit fewer soldiers to vote than the legislation passed in 1942, which waived registration and the payment of poll tax.

FARM MACHINERY OUTLOOK The War Food Administration has announced that while the farmers may not have all the ma chinery they want, and may need this year, they will be able to secure more machinery than was available in 1943. From an over-aviewpoint, production of farm equipment for 1944 will equal that for 1940, but not all tools will be produced in this quantity. There is difficulty in getting some types of machinell ry produced. forg-Ing- s, Guest Speakers Occupy Time at West Ward Sacrament Service At the Sunday evening For instance, equip- ment needing ball bearings, and other Items that are also needed In great quantity by the military forces.
