The publishers are in receipt letter from Mr. and Mrs. Bentley Mitchell who are serving as heads of the Tahitian mission. The following is taken from an account of their trip to various and distant islands in that mission, some of which very few white people have ever visited. They departed from Papeete with a group including President Edgar Mitchell, his wife, their three children, a native girl to help with the children and a friend. Another passenger was a world traveler and writer. An inter-islan- d schooner or "water basket," called Vaiete was the home of the group for one month. Their canvas beds were set up between the sky lights above the cabin, with a tarpaulin for ceiling. Their first stop was at where Elder Mitchell had labored when a missionary there twelve years before. The mosquitoes were so thick and sleeping accomodations so bad that a most unpleasant night was spent. Here the trip was interrupted by an illness of the baby, Martha, and the group stayed on the island to care for her. While there the Mitchells entertained the entire island with their pictures and slides of church projects from home and even of farm and friends which they seemed delighted to see. In three days the baby, Martha, was very much improved and could enjoy swiming in the Lagoon with the others. Unexpectedly the Vaiete returned to the island and at the last moment the travelers decided to sail with her even though the life boat had been sunk. They were heartily welcomed by the captain of the boat. We reprint Mrs. Mitchell's account of a night on board, "The sea was heavy and the night was an endurance contest. Our only WILL ASSIST UTAH BUSINESSES sent time, the Federal fk I)' WW j V r of a SILVER BEC03IES VITAL METAL The Utah Metal Mine Operator's Association has expressed its appreciation to Senator Abe Murdock of Utah, Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada, and other western senators who worked to raise the price of silver from 71.11 cents to 90.5 cents an ounce. Signed by President Truman, the bill to up the price of silver will prove a definite stimulant to the production of nonferrous metals in Utah. Silver (long important for Its use as money, has now assumed a new and vital role in industry. Electrical goods manufacturers require it in the making of delicate electrical instruments; the photographic industry uses large amounts in the manufacture of film, and the manufacturing jeweler uses great quantities of silver, all of which promises wider activity in Utah mining circles and the resultant increase of employment and circulation of money. PLAN TOLD FOR VET TRAINING ON FARM . A veteran agricultural training program Is being put into effect by Dr. E. Allen Batemen, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The program contemplates employment of 25 state supervisors and veterans will be employed on farms at the minimum wage (approximately $100 per month) and their (earnings will be supple- Information regarding industries and occupational possibilities in Utah is being gathered by the Utah Department of Employment Security for distribution to a large number of outside firms seeking locations in Utah, reports B.

Following the trend of the cost of living in the United States after World Wars I and II, economists point out that in 1918 and 1919 prices rose spectacularly. Cost of commodities took but slight rises after World fWar II because of government price controls. Following demise of OPA, prices rose sharply on some staples and articles. This chart compares increases after both wars. It is based on the U. S. bureau of labor statistics' consumers' price index and covers 200 goods and services in 34 and from there back to Hikueru. In telling of the pearl diving there Mrs. Mitchell writes. "The Mormon men are the best divers in the islands. Diving is very hard work, for the men go down without suits, to a depth of as great as 150 feet. Only men whose lungs are good can stand the pressure. A diver's personal and family goods he takes with him are usually a big tin wash tub, a charcoal burner for cook- jing meals, a charcoal iron, big kapok pinows, pieced quilts, a a big few Dowls and spoons, r toilet rticles, and knife( simpie a sea chest for clothes. Usually some little pigs or puppies are carried in the wash tubs, big pi?s are tied, a rope to one foot and the chickens are taken in an especially woven basket or crate made from cocoanut fronds. The divers make enough in three months work to last them for a year if they are conservative, then they return to their home islands." . At Takaroa the group held meetings with the church members and visited interesting places and also enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the Relief Society sisters. Also visited on the trip were Wash Rayon Hose First Rayon stockings last longerwornif they are washed before being for the first time.
