This, of course, is contingent on congress either rejecting or amending the Steagall bill and giving its sanction to the payment of production subsidies on essential crops grown in 1944. The decision of Food Administrator Marvin Jones, after conference with Economic Stabilization Chairman Fred Vinson, Is interpreted generally to mean that there has been such a change of C. sentiment in congress that the Swim Meet To Be Held At Bear River Backed by the Tremonton Lions club, the Bear River high school will attempt to stake an A.A.U. swimming meet, to be held at this school on February 23 and 24. Many schools are expected to attend, and the meet should attract a large group of good swimmers and much competition. Such schools as Granite, West, and a host of others are expected to compete in this annual meet. Work is now underway to obtain medals, which will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners. Credit is due to Coach Leavitt for arranging to have this meet staged at the Bear River high school. The Lions club is also to be thanked for its part in bringing this unusual event to the community.

H, Fronk of the local Victory Service League, received the following letter from Miss Lillian Wurzel, field director of the American Red Cross at Bushnell General Hospital. The letter is self explanatory: Dear Sir: "I am enclosing a receipt, our receipt No. 120, for the splendid donation of the people of Tremonton through the Victory Service League to the Christmas fund of the Red Cross here at Bushnell General Hospital. "This contirbution of $164.52 raised through the Victory Service League with the cooperation of the high school Pep Club, is a splendid response from the people of Bear River Valley," who have loong been interested in the welfare of the patients here. "I am sorry to have delayed this letter, but we have just settled down after the Christmas holidays. I am sure the people of your community will be happy to know that we believe every patient in this hospital had as nice a Christmas as it was possiblefor us to arrange. There were two decorated trees in every ward, wreaths and posters everywhere. The money which you contributed was used to purchase red net stockings and 600 pounds of hard candy. The candy, together with a deck of cards and cigarettes provided by the Red Cross, were packed by the Gray Ladies, and each man in the hospital received one. During the Christmas week we also had several groups of carolers singing in the wards every day and two USO shows appeared here that week. "In addition to all of the above gifts, each man in the hospital received a gift from the Army Recreation Fund as well as a third gift from various group in various communities who sent gaily wrapped packages. All this was in addition to the gifts which the men received from their own families, so you can see that we really had Christmas spirit at Bushnell."

The official announcement of Food Administrator Jones, with reference to sugar beets, follows: "The war food administration will enter into price supporting agreements with sugar beet processors under which the administration, through the processors, will assure farmers $3 per ton over the price received for 1942 crop sugar beets of standard quality (16.5 per cent sucrose). This price support payment will be applicable to sugar beets delivered to the processors at the usual delivery points.
