Show Universal r 27? 6th Ave. Lions Hear Report On y Projects "Ik Hi-wa- A report on the progress of state road construction was made to the Tremonton Lions club at their regular meeting Wednesday evening to Karl resident engineer of the state road commission. In enumerating the projects, Mr. Fonnesbeck stated that the new entrance to Box Elder county on 30s at Strevel, and the newly completed project from north of Plymouth, on highway 191, to the Idaho State line will add much to the impression tourists will receive when they enter the county. Other projects are the secondary highway from Howell to 30s, and the bridge over the Bear River, between Tremonton and Deweyville, and the new road being built through Rattlesnake Pass.

The fact that it is almost cerwheat and cotton quotas will be required in 1954 increases the possibility that by 1955 acreages which are now used for production of crops will then be restricted will likely be turned to sugar beets. This would make it highly probable that quotas and acreage allotments will be necessary in 1955. If this happens, and it is highly probable that it will, Utah will not be in an unfavorable position because acreages have declined sharply in the last few years. Information has been received advising that cane production ' has been set up on an acreage allotment basis for 1954. This plan Includes the immediate past three years as the base period and uses 50 percent of the highest year and 25 percent of the other two in determining the allotment for each farmer. If this basis was used for sugar beet production with the past three years as a base, Utah would suffer substantial losses and would find it extremely difficult to maintain its factories. Other areas such as the Columbia basin and the Red River area, which are expanding rapidly, would be in a position to get the basic share of production quotas. Utah's production has declined in areas served by representatives present at the meeting from highs of over 10,000 acres In some districts to as low as tain that BEAR RIVER VALLEY 1 At Plymouth July 3 and 4 An amateur rodeo, horse pulling, parade and ball game will feature the Independence Day celebration at Plymouth this year.

Sunday afternoon Doris Roche of Riverside was chosen queen, with Lola Coombs of Plymouth and Melba Coombs of Fielding as attendants. The rodeo stock will be furnished by Vern Oyler. is exA cordial invitation tended the people of the valiey to attend the celebration. Number 40 2, 1953 Accident Causes Death Of Clifford Cannon that within the week bids will be called for the building of a new road on highway 102, east of town which will make a houte between Tremonton and Deweyville, utilizing the new bridge which is now completed, and the addition of a widening and resurfacing program from the Malad River Bridge south of Plymouth, to connect with the new highway north of Plymouth. Another project being considered by the state road commission, according to Mr. Fonnesbeck ,was the realigning of 30s from the fair ground to the Cook lane, about 6 or 7 miles, which will eliminate the curves on the Westmoreland hill area. Safety factors of the Crossroads junction and other places in the present valley highway were discussed. THE Published Weekly at Tremonton, Utah, Thursday.

Holmgren, pointed out that it is imperative that growers consider carefully the importance of a high 1954 acreage. Unless this is realized it is highly probable that for the period of necessary quotas Utah producers will lose acreage at a time when acreage of other crops will also be restricted. This could be a very serious handicap. The Growers committee urges all farmers to make plans for substantial sugar beet acreage next year. Indications are that prices should be favorable and that mechanization will largely solve the labor problem. New and better seed will be available and a sugar beet crop can fit into a good rotation program. It would appear that a good conservative farm plan could well include considerable acreage of sugar beets. Unless this acreage base is established in 1954,, it is highly probable that growers may be denied allotments in future years. JAY MORTENSEN VISITS MOTHER T Sgt. Jay Mortensen and his wife and family stopped over for a short visit with Mrs. Rebecca Mortensen and Rex this week.'

Giles r- group of citizens heard last week in the offices of Mr. Jay Oldroyd that a nursing home for Box Elder County is a definite and immediate problem. From recent surveys sent to the county's doctors, ministers and bishops, Mr. Oldroyd and his staff were able to compile a rather complete picture of the need. One of the pertinent questions asked was: How many adults residing within the boundaries of your ward could benefit from nursing home care? The ministers and bishops responded by listing 87 persons who would benefit from such a home; the doctors replied bv naming 75. Not all of the ques-tionaires were sent back to Mr. Oldroyd's office, and he points out, too, that there is possible duplication, but the figures even then spreak for themselves. Mr. Oldroyd reported that he regularly has people call him to inquire about nursing care for the aged. The definition of a nursing home on the questionaire reads: "A nursing home is a private home or private institution which is established for or given care, treatment, or nursing care to persons ill with disease or who are crippled, infirm or in any way afflicted and are in need of at least some assistance in bathing, dressing toileting, and, or some type of sppervi-sion- .
