Governor Asks Board To Donate Services Duchesne County Commission- er Lyle Young and County Clerk G. A. Goodrich received letters this week from Governor Henry H. asking them to act on the Selective Service Board for Duchesne county, Mr. Young said. The men are asked to serve without pay, as a patriotic duty, the letters said. Public schools throughout Utah will be used on October 16 as registration places for some 76,000 Utahns eligible for conscription, according to plans being worked out by the state selective service board. Brigadier General W. G. Williams, adjutant general in is selective service executive for the state. Handled by Election Machinery Registration would not disrupt the states educational program, even for a day, and school would go on as usual," Governor Blood said. The general said details of the registration will be handled by the regular election machinery in the state. All male Utahns from 21 to 35 years of age, inclusive, will register, but it wont take any longer than it does to vote, according to General Williams. The men will go to the nearest schoolhouse, and merely give a few simple facts such as name and address. Later eight-pag- e questionnaires will he mailed to them to fill out in their homes. Men with dependents, aliens and men who cannot be spared from certain strategic industries will be placed on the deferred list, and of the young men remaining only one in 40 will be chosen for army duty this year.

Larsen in the south part of Duchesne, although Mr. Larsen did not learn about it until Thursday. The bolt apparently struck the bracket in the gable on the north of the roof, splintering a 2 x 4 into match sticks. It broke thru into the kitchen, damaging plaster and scorching paint. Nails around the in the construction damaged area were blackened.
