Plans are progressing beautifully, and we feel that we really has a "great" entertainment for you. The banquet will begin promptly at 6 p. m. For those who have to wait a few minutes, or who may have finished eating, a fins program has been arranged in the new chapel. We also suggest that you visit our booths in the recreation hall, where cakes, pies, candy, needlecraft and groceries, fresh from the farm, may be purchased. Our fortune teller will also be on the job to reveal the mysteries of the however, "national had impelled it to vote for ;Jfpenditure of $27,560,000,000. indication of the size of this may be had from the fact Zx during the last war the biggest one year was $18,-H- r Expenditure in any fL 000,000. peak World War expenditure Amounted to $176.40 for every man, I woman and child in the United States. iThis year's figures are $210.38 per I person. if all this J money were to be spent Ion "national defense," a substantial would i portion of the people probably future. The trouble Is that the I boondoggles are using defense as a smoke screen for funny aoings. GovernEvery month the Office of ment Reports issues a list of 'defense' contracts awarded. The War and Navy Departments invariably are careful enough with the money, to figure their contiacts down to the last penny. But not so with some other government obiect. Immediately following the banquet, our auction will be held in the recreation hall. We have some very amazing articles to auction. Ont of the most interesting will be a "Curiosity Package." No one knows what's in it, but we assure you it will be worth your money. The auction completed, a floor show will be presented, not to be surpased agencies.

Certainly, though if the War and Navy departments can figure to pennies in buying guns, planes and I ships, the WPA ought to be able to I , do the same thing in installing a new "stock accounting" system in the Bal Coast Guard station. timore There's another interesting sidelight which is being emphasized by the squabble over whether Congress recess or adjourn, Last May, should majority party leaders in Congress began getting ready to adjourn in June. They said there was nothing more to do. Congress, however, insisted upon staying in session. And since then, it has appropriated millions for defense, for conscription, agreed to call out the National Guard, ordered the size of the Navy doubled, lifted the limit on the number of airplanes which are armed services may have, voted and so on-So- legislators are asking "Where would we be now if we had adjourned in June?" Government regulations sometimes are so absurd that they would, be laughable if they weren't tragic. Take the new Wage-Hou- r definitions, for example. "Executive" and "administrative" employees are exempted from the provisions of the law. The Wage-Hour division defines an "administrative" employee as one who works for an "executive." But regulations say that an "executive" must make a minimum salary of $30 a week while an "administrative" employee must make at !ast $200 a month. In short, the subordinate must make jnore than the boss. But maybe that's way the planners want it. Another sample of absurdity is a recent ruling by the Federal Trade Commission, which held a sock man ufacturer guilty of an unfair trade Piactice because he labelled his sock genuine 6x3 ribbed." That phrase is supposed to indicate you and me that the socks were 'nade in England and imported into iae United States. not one Probably person in 10,000 ever heard the phrase before. Yet the government has forbidden its use. Immunization Clinic To be Held Oct. 26th sf A new projection machine and pew sound equipment are being installed in the Liberty Theatre this week, according to B. F. Winzeler, manager of the theatre. The equipment is the Vast word in motion picture machinery. The new installation will add more light to the pictures and better sound. The installation will be completed in time for the performance Friday evening, according to Mr. Winzeler. The new equipment will make the local show equal to any found in the show business. Mr. Winzeler is to be congratulated on his progressive attitude of keeping up with the best. .A... Students Discuss Nat'l Defense (By Helen Walton and Madge Ilenrie) Problems of National Defense were thrashed out before the high school student body last Tuesday in a panel discussion by members of the speech and debating class. Ethel Mae Manning, senior, acted as chairman and took charge of the discussion. Elizabeth Austin spoke first on how the educational system is being applied to the National Defense program. She stressed the point that skilled labor is becoming more and more necessary. The next speaker was Eugenia Rogers. Her topic was the conscription law. She mentioned that now is the first time in the history of the United States that men have been drafted for military training in time of peace. She explained the exceptions in the law and discussed the provision where by manufacturers must give the government reasonable prices on their products or their factories will be taken over and itui by the government. She concluded with the emphatic statement "this conscription law does not comply with American Democracy but is bringing us to the European way of living." LeRoy Roberts' discussion was just an elaboration on Miss Roger's subject, bringing out the point that Amorlonn frooilnm BVinillH h lfKQfnf d in order to stop Fifth Column activities. Evan Jensen continued from this point, explaining the Fifth Column, its actions, effects and operations. The building up of the U. S. Army and Navy was briefly discussed by Marvin Miller. The concluding speaker, Vaudys Allred, discussed the economic aspects of the draft bill. She brought out the tint tVmf thU u.H11 n1nrv vmith in the limelight; that it will decrease un-- 1 employment and remedy the relief situation. Youth, however, will have to bear its share of the costs of the defense program, as can readily be noticed by taxes on such things as amusements. The panel discussion was followed by a short talk on "Patriotism," by Miss Margaret Woodside of the faculty. Music was furnished by the high school band and a trio, LaPriel Bishop, LaWana Bishop and Ethel Mae Manning.

Mr. Giles estimates that the 70,000 turkeys in the county this year will give producers a gross of $196,000, or at a net profit of one dollar each, Sunday Designated $70,000. The Tremonton plant already has birds and processed 10,000 the majority of all turkeys in the county will be processed for tha Thanksgiving market, with the smaller turkeys being held for the Christmas and New Year's market Turkeys from Southern Idaho anol Cache and Weber counties In Utah also will be processed at the Tremonton plant, where it ia anticipated that 110,000 birds will be prepared for the eastern markets. The plant will give mnlnvmint tn mrwA than 120 np r- sons for a six weeks period with an aggregate payroll of $12,000. The turkey producing industry, rapidly becoming of major importance in Box Elder county, brings new money In from other sections of the country and provides a market for hay, grain, and other locally grown feeds. According to Mr. Giles, a turkey from hatching time to maturity consumes 70 pounds of feed, which means that the crop this year in this county, would consume 4,900,000 pounds, or 2,450 tons of feed.

The Bears have more weight this year than they have had in three years and a much faster line than last year's. Since several members of the football squad have been topping beets, the actual lineup will not be known until a few minutes before the game starts. Students of the high school wish ib express their thanks to the merchants of Tremonton and Garland for closing their stores during the home coming game Friday. It is expected by all that a crowd will be seen in the stands Friday that will out number any ever at the school before. The game will be a thriller and should be seen by all. d. " x ' . The present emphasis on national defense calls attention to the fact that the Navy is the nation's first line of defense, and the maintenance of an adequate naval force is an essential part of any well considered program of preparedness and of preservation of peace. Therefore, I, N. E. Shaw, the Mayor of Tremonton, Utah, designate Sunday, October 27, 1940, as Navy Day and earnestly urge every citizen, school, patriotic, civic and religious organization, each to add his or its part toward bringing about a more complete understanding of the splendid accomplishments of the United States Navy and of the part it plays in the attainment of permanent peace for our great nation. - Ward Relief Society Home Expert Gives North Box Elder P. Driver's License Office Conferences Set for Advice on Making T. A: Council Meets Will Be Closed Tues. Sunday, October 29 The North Box Elde P T. A. counReady for Winter Methods of preparing homes to with stand the ravages of the oncoming winter were recently released by Mrs. Effie S. Barrows, home furnishings specialist of the Extension Service at the Utah State Agricultural college. "The rate of break down increases with inattention and failure to repair things of "mole hill" scale now. urns may result in jobs of mountainous proportions by spring," advises Mrs. Barrows. A hint is issued to those who have no cement walks, that stepping stones would keep mud and slush trails out of the house and at the same time improve the exterior appearance of the home. Loose chimney bricks should be replaced, wide masonry cracks should be filled up and leaks around the chimneys remedied by new galvanized iron flashings or pure pitch. When it comes to taking down the awnings and screen, Mrs. Barrows points out that a system of numbering doors and windows, using corresponding numbers for awnings and screens will spare the man of the house the trouble he usually faces when spring comes around and the screens have to go up again. A thorough scrubbing for the awnings will increase their wearibility for subsequent seasons. On that question of house insulation, comes the following suggestions: 10 per cent lime by volume mixed with sawdust will do the trick, while bands of old inner tubes used around windows and doors eliminate crack drafts. One last pointer on making the home more like home is to take the nqueak out of household appliances,! doors, hineres, and vacuums. "Then yours is the assurance that your home will be quite liveable this winter," says Mrs. Barrows. well-plac- ed . Project Approved to Improve School Grounds According to William T. Davis, clerk of the Board of Education of Box Elder county, a telegram has been received from Congressman Abe Murdock which states that President Roosevelt l.as approved a WPA project to improve school grounds in Tremonton, Brigham, Fielding, Elwood, Garland, Bear River City, and Willard The project will be known as Allotment 6486.
