Music Classes Held At Schools In The Valley War ration book four, now being issued at the McKinley school of Tremonton and at the schools throughout the county up to and including Friday, October 29, from 4 p. m. to 9 p. m., will go into use on November 1, F. M. Christensen, chairman of the local war price and rationing board, said today. Beginning Monday, the housewife will have stamps of two types valid for use: Black stamps No. 29 marked "sugar" good for five pounds will expire January 15, 1944; and green stamps of the A, B, and C series with which to buy rationed canned fruits and vegetables until December 20. These stamps in the new book will take the place of blue stamps X, Y and Z, war ration book two, which expire on November 20. Housewives and other consumers will find little difficulty in using the stamps in book four. Except for color and size, the green stamps are similar to the blue stamps in book two. Stamps run in series designated by letters. Each series of green stamps contains four stamps with a point value of 8, 5, 2 and 1 like the blue stamps of book two. The new green stamps provide each book holder with 48 points for the rationing period of one month approximately to buy processed foods, which is the same number of points as in the past. Book four's green stamps will be used only until the new ration "token" system goes into effect, probably early in 1944. At that time, the red and blue stamps in book four will be put into use for buying rationed foods. These and blue stamps should be kept intact until they become valid. rl J.

HUNTER TO SPEAK AT FIRST WARD The speaker at the Sunday eveArd ning meeting at hp F'ft will be Dr. Milton R. Huntr of the L. D. S. Institute at Ixgan. A new Advisory Committee has been appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard to Work with County FSA Supervisor Freeman J. Byington and Associate Supervisor Hazel Bingham, in maintaining and expanding the food production increases achieved by small farmers in the FSA program in this county. The committeemen, all successful farmers, are Ralph C. Richards, Riverside; Almon N. Wight, Thatcher, and Dean Capener, of Garland, with Raymond W. Hunsaker of South Tremonton as alternate. They will advise with Supervisor Byington and assist with farm families in the FSA program. In the past, the FSA county staff has been advised by a Rural Rehabilitation Committee, a Farm Debt Adjustment Committee and a Farm Ownership Committee. Members from these three committees, together with the three members-at-largmade up the County FSA Advisory Committee. The new cdmmittee will continue the committee functions prescribed by the Bankhead-Jone- s Farm Tenancy Act, certifying the eligibility of applicants and the reasonable value of farms in the making of farm ownership loans. A new responsibility of the committee will be to determine the eligibility of applicants for rural rehabilitation loans and their need for FSA assistance. In addition, the committee will each year review the progress and status of all rural rehabilitation borrowers whose loans have been outstanding for three or more full crop years. The committee will also assist FSA supervisors and borrowers in carrying out the farm debt adjustment and tenure improvement program, and in general serve in an advisory capacity on all FSA county operations. Under a rotation plan, one of the three members will go out of office each year, and a successor will be appointed. One of the first jobs of the new county committee will be to help the FSA supervisors carry through an immediate and searching review of every active standard rehabilitation borrower to determine how each family can contribute most to the Nation's food supply in 1944. This analysis is expected to bring out: 1. Approximate shifts or increases in production of war crops that Farm Security borrowers can make. 2. Types of adjustments in land tenure and farm layout that will be necessary. 3. Need for storage facilities, equipment for planting, cultivating or harvesting crops, marketing facilities, etc. 4. Approximate amounts of loan funds that present FSA borrowers will require for 1944 production. e, se Firemen Answer Call To Elwood Farmers, Ranchers To Release Metal J. H. Fronk, county salvage chairman makes an appeal to the farmers and ranchers of Box Elder County to release all available scrap metal, so tliat necessary "victory scrap bank" may be built up to supply the steel industry during the coming winter months. The scrap bank idea la similar to the blood bank in set up. Some complaints have been heard in the past about the huge piles of scrap metal seen In various places. In the present plan it is the desire of the salvage committees to have sufficient stock on hand, that steel mills will know where they can secure metals to keep the plants operating. A leter from the Colorado Fuel & Iron Corporation, a firm that purchased most of the scrap metal collected in this county last year, indicates that the mills are operating at 100 per cent of capacity and if they should for any cause be unable to secure scrap during the coming winter, would be forced to curtail operations. The let- The local Fire Department answered a call to the L. S. Anderson home in Elwood, Wednesday afternoon. Sparks falling on dry leaves on a shingle roof was the cause of the fire, according to returning firemen. The local fire laddies made the run in something like "nothing flat," as the siren had barely stopped when the truck pulled out. As one fireman put it, "you've got to get there in a - - - - of a hurry if you are going to ride that truck."

LOCAL MARSHAL HAS "RUN IN" WITH SOLDIERS Two soldiers- from Bushnell hos- pital are wondering if they really found what they were looking for, and City Marshal Henry Morrison knows that he had about the toughest time in his experience, when he tried to take care of the two last Sunday evening. From reports, it appears that the tw soldiers, who gave their names as Pvt. John Schweiderson and Corporal James Hobbs, had made the trip to Tremonton just to see how "hard" the city marshal really was. Hobbs, according to reports, was drinking most of the early evening and kept taunting Mr. Morrison about "locking me up." The two men were in two different places in town and about eight o'clock, Schweiderson is reported to have accosted a woman on the street and when her husband objected, threatened to beat him up, adding insulting words to his action. Special music will be furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Ross Beckstead and the ward choir. . Mrs. Jesse L. Roberts is visiting friends In Rupert, Idaho this week. Mrs. F. It. Davis and son, Kay, Local Chairman Asks The marshal was called and attempted to take the soldier to the jail and when the latter attempted to fight, it was necessary to have help in placing him in the cell. Mr, Morrison then called the Bushnell Hospital and reported the disturbance and asked that Military Police be sent up to take care of the men. The hospital wanted further information on the men and when the marshal returned to the jail the other soldier, Hobbs, was there talking to the inmate. Schwciderman refused to give his identification, and Hobbs, stated if the marshal would let him in the cell, he could probably get the name and identification tag of the prisoner. The marshal opened the cell door and Hobbs, according to Mr. Morrison, stood in the door blocking attempts to close it and allowed his companion to get out. Hobbs then beat a hasty retreat and left the marshal and the soldier to battle it out. Mr. Morrison states that he never wants to go through such an affair again. In his efforts to subdue the prisoner he was forced (Continued on page 5) Hospital News Rwnt Births Mr. and Mrs. Jim Smith, of Tremonton, a girl, Sunday, October 24.
