In war materials this would have bought 27,618 sided at the meeting. He outlined the duties and functions of each committee, and introduced the new principals to the group. Supt. Bunderson then outlined the plans for the school lunch which may begin in November. He listed the various types of school lunches that must be prepared if our schools wish either state or federal financial aid. He indicated that the total of the federal and state allowances will not be sufficient to furnish a full school lunch, paying for all foods, labor necessary, and addiional equipment so in addition to these funds children themselves will have to pay something for the lunch. Principals were instructed to study the problem and report what they thought a fair charge should be to the chil, dren of the school. Assistant Supt. Harmon discussed the new health, math, spelling and social science books and their place in making the "elementary schools, the frontline of democracy." J. D. Gunderson, chairman of the athletic committee then explained new needs in the schools for athletic equipment, and new methods for financing them. L. C. Christopherson, chairman of the Research Committee explained plans for extension courses (Continued on Page 4) Bunderson, Superintendent Assistant Superintendent Harmon, and Coordinator Vernon Hansen to discuss elementary school problems and policies for the coming year.

With such urgent demand on production, for our fighting men, every fire sets back the war effort in some way, because materials that have to go into replacing burned factories, homes, autos, etc. all drain from the nation's supply of raw materials. The record of the local fire department is exceptionally good with fire loss within the city limits reduced almost to the minimum. In commenting on the success of the organization, Fire Chief D. R. Waldron states that the fine cooperation received from the public is largely responsible. Promptness in turning in calls has helped the department very much in preventing any great loss. The use of the rcsuscitator and ambulance of the department has also been freely used by the citizens, under the direction of the fire department. With the danger of fire ever present, the general public is asked to check their premises, business houses and vacant lots in an effort to remove any rubbish, old buildings, weeds, or anything that might in any way cause a serious fire. 75-M- M . q Mrs. George Abbott and daughter, Mrs. Kleon Kerr, visited in Friday with relatives.

Ensgn Adams was commander of a beach battalion engaged in landing barges near Salerno on the Italian west coast. He is reported as "killed in line of duty." His body, the communication said, could not be shipped home at present "if it has been recovered." He had engaged in five major battles in the Mediterranean area. His letters home have told of fighting on both land and sea, and of landing expeditions where naval men like infantrymen, spent nights in fox holes. He had expected a leave of absence to come home in November, when his first period of foreign service would have been completed. Born 28 years ago, Glen Basil Adams grew up in Tremonton, attending Tremonton grade schools and the Bear River High school, from which he graduated in 1933. In his junior year at high school he worked on the school newspaper, and in his senior year he was business manager of the yearbook. His interest in journalism continued throughout his career at the Utah State Agricultural college, from which he received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1938. After college he found a position on the staff of the Western Farm Life magazine, published in Denver. He became assistant editor and held this position until the spring of 1942 when he resigned to enter the U. S. Navy. To be able to pass the physical test, he came home and underwent an operation at the Valley hospital at his own expense so that he could give his services to his country. He enlisted in July, 1942. He is survived by his parents and his fiancee, Miss Amanda Ward of Riverside, and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Fay Richardson of Tremonton, Mrs. Aileen Germer of Layton, Air Corps Cadet Don Adams of Ryan Field, Arizona, and Max Adams of Tremonton, for Memorial Arrangements service is pending word from Naval authorities.

"I was knocked e on one side back into a an! the Lieutenant was blown into a hole on the other side. "I lay there a while, not realizing I was wounded, for I had felt no pain. When I crawled out, I saw the Lieutenant scrambling out of his hole. A piece of shell had hit him in the arm, "He said, 'Well, Doc. it looks like you've got a patient.' We started to go back to a dressing station and then I discovered that blood was running from my arm, too. A piece of shrapnel had torn through the fleshy part of my left arm and lodged in my shoulder. It's still in there." Hall and Lieutenant Wilson went to a hospital for treatment and rejoined their outfit on "Damnation Knoll" on Christmas Day. Lieutenant Wilson, son of Mrs. Mary Keys Wilson, 9 Portsmouth Place, Forrest Hills, Long Island, N. Y., was awarded the Purple Heart recently. It was the third time Hall had mrrowly escaped death during the harrowing 37 days he spent in front-lin- e action long, hot days in which he was kept feverishly busy administering first aid to men who were felled by Jap bullets in the steaming jungle, On one occasion, shrapnel tore his first aid pouch to shreds. Again he barely missed being hit by a hand grennde thrown from a tree by a Jap sniper.
