Hershey, director of Selective Service, in a recent letter to local boards. He said available men will be called for induction in the following order: (1) single men without dependents; (2) single "men with collateral dependents; (3) married men without children; (4) men with children (nondeferrable activities and occupations); (5) men with children. Manpower Problem Where to find more millions of men to carry out our TOTAL WAR PROGRAM is one of today's senous problems, and calls for a review cf what has happened to our estimated of manpower supply of 22,200,000 men between the ages 18 and 37. Reliable estimates show that we now have about 9,300,-00- 0 men in the armed forces. Some 7,800.000 have been deferred because they have dependents, yet we are the only nation deferring men because of dependents although far of our greater monthly benefits are paid to the dependents men in the service than is paid by any other nation. The next largest group of men is that nearly fifteen or per cent, or 3,300,000 men found to be either mentally connot physically unfit for service. While these men are are of them because nation many sidered a total loss to the employables yet very few are found in essential industries. Many of these men could also be used by the armed forces if given the proper medical care. Only 2,600,000 have been deferred because they are essential workers. This brings the total of deferred to 13,-700,0- 00. want 2,000,000 more men in the next The Army-Nav- y year and about 900,000 will be provided by boys who become 18 years of age. Most of these youngsters will be drafted because they are strong and vigorous and very few have dependents. That leaves 1,100,000 men still needed to provide the quota. The Utah Price Situation By W. P. THOMAS Department of Agricultural Economics . State Agricultural College For July, 1943 Utah price index for all commodities was 186 as compared with 185 for June. From June to July prices received by farmers for meat animals, beef, lambs, and hogs decreased, while prices received for dairy and poultry praducts increased. mces received ior crops in- creased again this month. The commodities showing the greatest increases were fruit and feed grain. The index for all crops was 190 in July as compared with 184 for livestock and livestock products. The Utah crop dollar now lias a higher value than the livestock dollar. This is a favorable year for the crop fanner. The economic conditions support a continued strong domestic demand for farm products. Factory payrolls and income from other groups are continuing to increase and are reaching new leve els monthly. Military and demands for farm products continue to increase. The reduction in shipping losses is making it possible for greatly increasing the overseas movement of all kinds of goods including agricultural products. n According to the Food Administration, shipments e were twice of food for as large in May of this year as lend-leas- - " - Wgk A.

Increased prices for food is resulting from the continuing rise of consumer's income and from purchases by the e government for military and and not from food shortages. The pressure for food will continue to support an upward trend in prices for farm products. lend-leas- 15 1942 July July Unit Commodity Beef cattle 100 lbs. 100 lbs.

This is the smallest number reported for any week during 1943. The number of cases of the more common communicable diseases such as chickenpox, measles, mumps, and scarlet fever was exceptionally low. A total of 225 cases was reported last week and 131 cases for the corresponding week in 1942. Thirteen new cases of poliomye- litis were reported as compared with 16 for the previous week. Physicians are urged to report all cases of communicable diseases, especially poliomyelitis to local health officers immediately upon making a diagnosis. The success of any communi sable disease control program depends largely upon prompt reporting of all cases by parents and physicians. Daggett and Rich counties each reported one case of tularemia. According to the attending physicians both patients were infected by deerflies. Two cases of malaria were reported from Salt Lake City. These cases were reported by military authorities. A total of 115 cases of malaria have been reported during 1943 an unusually large number for the state of Utah. However, the great majority of these patients are men in the armed ser- $- - Mr. and Mrs. Evan Bergstrom and son Billie Merle, of Brigham, spent Sunday here with Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Bergstrom.

A disconsolate soldier or sailor who thinks he has been forgotten at Christmas obviously is not at his best. So the gifts MUST be mailed on time so that they can arrive on time. Rules for Christmas mailings to the fighting forces overseas were made public in June for the guidance of early shoppers. They include: The parcel must not exceed five pounds, and must not be more than 15 inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth combined. It should be marked "Christmas Parcel," so that it may be given special attention to assure its arrival before December 25. Not more than one parcel may be mailed in any one week to the same member of the armed forces by or in behalf of the same mailer. The parcel must be well and strongly packed, in a container of metd, wood, strong fiber board, or similar material, then WTapped in strong paper and tied with twine. The cover should be such that it can be opened readily for censorship. The consents should be packed tightly. Perishable goods, such as fruits that may spoil, are prohibited. Intoxicants, Inflammable materials such as matches or lighter fluids, poisons, and anything that may damage other mail also are prohibited. Gifts enclosed in glass should be substantially packed to avoid breakage. Sharp instruments such as razors and knives, must have their edges and points protected so that they cannot cut through the coverings and injure postal personnel or damage other packages. Since the armed forces are being plentifully supplied with food and clothing, the Army and Navy recommend against these as gifts. Addresses must be written clearly and completely. In addition to the return address of the sender, a parcel for an Army man should show the name, rank, Army serial number, branch of service, organization. Army post office number, and name of post office through which the parcel is routed. A typical address for an Army man: Pvt John R Doe (Army serial No.) Company F, 167th Infantry The contribution toward victory of every farm worker is recognized today as never before.
