Howe Moffat, ex ecutive manager Utah War Finance Committee. "It is absolutely to everyone's to put their savings in war bonds," said Mr. Moffat. "Those not yet convinced of this fact are urged by the Utah War Finance Committee to read the following editorial, entitled 'One Function of Bonds' from the St. Paul Press of December 5, 1944." "Latin America has come to the belated realization that rationing and price controls cannot solve the problem of wartime inflation without further assistance. A cost of living survey which sets current costs in this country at 12 6 of the 1939 level arrives at the following figures for some other nations of this hemisphere: Costa Rica, 164; Brazil 142; Cuba, 158; Mexico, 194. In two other countries living costs have more than doubled during the war, standing now at 209 in Chile and 247 in Bolivia. "The differep.ee, accordinlg to the insurance statisticians who made the survey, lies in the failure of Latin American governments to mobilize individual savbattle. ings in the In this country, that has been one of the primary functions of war bond drives, and its effectiveness is reflected with some accuracy in the foregoing figures. "In Mexico and some other southern republics, a beginning is now being made at siphoning off some of the "dangerous money' represented by excess bank deposits and currency in circulation. These nations, though they have no immediate need for funds are strenuously engaged in the marketing of government bond issues by popular subscription." 1 self-intere- st rat. County Still Short The official daily state report as of December 12th, credits Beaver County with E bond sales of only 530,254, as against our E Bond quota of $74,000. Like most of other Utah counties. Beaver is depending heavily on the corpora tion and public funds sales to enable us to reach our quota. While according to information J gathered by County Chairman H. D. Thompson, Beaver and Bea- er county, are not far short of 'heir total goals, both are seriously behind in their E bond sales. And it is the E sales that the state and national organizations are most concerned with. Up to last evening Mr. Thompson had received no direct report from Milford and Minersville, but had been indirectly informed that Milford had met its total quota. He had requested information from Minersville on the progress of the drive there, but had not to late received any report. Green-'illwas nearing its quota, and N'orthcreek, had sold slightly over Mander-lel- d "alf its quota of $2,000. had sold not quite half of its '1500 quota, and Adamsville a ittle over one third of its $900 luota. With all the outside somewhat behind, it is almost certain that the county quota bas not yet been reached, unless ales have picked up today. Heaver County has made a good record for Itself in all the previous drives, and we cannot afford to fall down now In the sixth effort. And remember It is the individual Purchases that we are sorely in Beaver fi dis-fit- ts 8P'd of. Chairman Thompson wishes to 'hank all who have so consistently s assisted in this big drive, and that we all continue until the Soal Is reached. The High School drive chairman and students did n excellent Job. They are over the top by $3,000 and are still (toing strong. "Let's back our boys in the rnied forces with bonds.

Alfalfa Seed for Spring Planting Should Be Purchased Now Utah farmers should purchase alfalfa seed for spring planting now or a sufficient amount may not be available to meet local needs, Professor Aaron F. Brack en, agronomist of the USAC Extension Serlce reports. He states that alfalfa seed crops in Utah amounted to less than pounds the past year and that the crop was much lighter than usual in all parts of the United States. Due to invasion of alfalfa wilt, stands in many areas of the state of necessity are replaced every third or fourth year. Professor Bracken points out, and adds that this requires the annual planting of 750,000 to 900,000 pounds of seed on approximately 75,000 acres of land. For the season of 1945, about half of 1944's production will be needed, he emphasized. The crop Is now moving to markets outside of Utah under urgent demand and unless enough seed is held for spring planting the shortage may be reflected In lower hay yields In succeeding years. Professor Bracken concludes that dealers who now have stocks of Utah alfalfa seed on hand would be both wise and helpful in holding the seed until local de mands are satisfied. The most highly qualified sur geons available in 46 special fields are assigned to units In Army Gen eral Hospitals which are concerned with reconstructive surgery, the Ninth Service Command surgeon said today.

Stated that the auction was a great success, and that Beaver City had sold its quota of $37,000 worth of bonds. A report was made on the Fish Hatchery Project. Mr. Hickman stated that his committee hoped to close the contracts for purchase of additional property before the end of the year. Com. Ernest Joseph stated that the County would be willing to straighten the road and remove the brush from the fence lines leading to the Hatchery. There was then some discussion relative to roads. Those taking part in the discussion favored a county tax levy for the road fund In order to build up a surplus of money for the Post War Prograin. Dr. Mc Quarrie mentioned that the U.S. Govenment was now making a survey in Utah relative to the hospital needs of the communities throughout the state. The Secretary was directed to secure some additional inrormation on the subject. There was some discussion In relation to the Airport.
