HOLDER SUBMITS Push Efforts To Get Doctor AAA WHEAT QUOTAS ARGUMENT FOR spring has necessi- Members of the Duchesne Lions club, at their regular meeting in the Mission Cafe Wednesday evening, heard B. A. Jacoby, committee dh airman, report on the possibilities' of getting a doctor located in Duchesne. Since the sudden leaving of Dr. F. L. Murray last week, Mr. Jacoby and other members of his committee have been bending every effort to induce a physician, to locate in Duchesne. The increased demand of the fighting forces for doctors has created a scarcity of medical men throughout the coutry, Mr. Jacoby reported, and though 'he bad interviewed several doctors, none have as yet indicated their desire to establish a practice here. There are still some prospects with whom he has not been in touch, he reported, and efforts will be continued. Mr. Jacoby also reported on the dentist situation, saying that it might be possible to work out an arrangement with dentists of Utah county, through which they would take turns' spending a week in Duchesne, provided the Lions could furnish an office and the necesThe dentists sary equipment. would bring their sn;all instruments and supplies with them. Mr. Jacoby mentioned the educational program carried on by the state board of education thi'oug.i its mobile dental unit, which was here last summer, adding that it would all be lost if a dentist were not made available to follow up the ground work laid. Myton Masons Schedule Fellow Craft Meeting A special meeting of Basin Lodge No. 20, F. & A. M., is scheduled to be held next Monday evening, for the purpose of the Fellow Craft degree. A lunch will be served following the meeting by the Ladies Aid cf Myton, according to Axel A.

The state road crew was busy Wednesday, hauling gravel to fill m the south side of main street in town, where it has been excavated for the last 10 days. The excavating was done Monday of last week by Arnold Rob-dn- s, who dug out approximately i8 inches where the street has .een soggy each spring before .aking his caterpillar to a defense Job at Logan. 250 yards of Approximately jank run giavel were hauled into .he place by state road trucks Wednesday, and on top of this some 75 yards of Indian canyon shale ixeie spread, to bring it back up to grade. It is expected that when the state crew comes out to relay 'the oil on several repaired stretches of highway 40 they will lay a dust coat of oil and gravel chips over the top of the shale. The excavation expense was paid by the city, but the balance of the work is being done by the state, the city council said. J. of Lapoint was president of the newly created Utah Colorado River Conservancy Association at a meeting of the board of directors In C. Hacking elected Price last Saturday. Mr. Hacking, & former representative to the state legislature from Uintah county, was one of the few representatives who voted no on the ratification of the Colorado river pact when it was before the state legislature In 1929. I did not feel that the pact as submitted furnished sufficient protection to Uie upper basin states, and wanted lt9 ratification delayed until further concessions for Utah and the other upper states were made," he said In commenting on the event Saturday. It is primarily to protect the interest of the Utah counties lying in the Colorado river drainage' basin and to study the problems created by this pact 'that the new organization, has been formed, and Mr., Hacking lhas taken an active s part throughout the several Dear Editor: Last week your editorial, and Food for Freedom," Quotas asked for some explanation on what seemed to you to 'be inconsistencies in information received from the Duchesne County AAA Office. I appreciate your fairness and the opportunity to answer. The headline, Nation Calls For Record Farm Production in 1942, I dont believe is inconsistent with urging farmers to vote for wheat marketing quotas. Only a moments reflection is required to see that there are various kinds of farm products various kinds of food the kinds we have plenty of, and the kinds we need more of. And a surplus of the kinds we have plenty of will not make up for a scarcity of the kinds we need more of, any more t.ian plenty of road iwill make up for a lack of tires. This was recognized in the Food for Freedom goals announced last fall. These goals called for a 12 per cent reduction in wheat acreage in 1942 over 1941. We have a surplus of wheat. We need more milk, eggs, tomatoes and peas, heat vs. Sugar You compare wheat to sugar, pointing out that labt year we had sugar quotas (allotments) and this year ration books. Allow me to point out a few differences. Wheat surpluses are piled up from mainland production. Sugar surpluses last year consisted of large stocks in our island possessions and Cuba. Even had there teen no allotments we would still have a market supply short of normal years. Much of our supply ha3 Leen cut off by war. Toe A'.reat is on 'the mainland and it isnt likely the supply will be cut off. We produce the wheat on the mainland, Moie than 70 per cent of the sugar comes from off shore 'sources. Roughly here's about the way its divided up: Continental beet sugar 23 Mainland cane sugar 6 Hawaii 14 Puerto Rico 12 Philippines 10 Cuba 28 Other foreign countries the balance Then it mig.it be interesting to note that if the supply of sugar puronased by consume! s in 1941 in excess of normal purchases Continued on Page 8 7,820 REGISTER FOR WAR RATION BOOKS Applications for 7,820 persons were registered in the first war ration registration in Duchesne county, which ended last Thursday night, it was announced by Lotus Fisher, county rationing administrator. 7,050 ration books were issued, entitling the holders d of sugar per week to a half-poun- until July 1. Approximately 16,000 pounds of excess sugar were declared, Mr. Fisher said. In rural areas, it Is the custom to buy sugar by the 100 pounds, rather than in snail amounts, and the rationing boards expressed the opinion that the majority of applicants honestly declared their uurplusses. According to the 1941 census, there are 8,958 persona in Duchesne county, which leaves 1138 still not registered. There may not ibe that many, since there has been a constant migration to defense plants and many men are now in the armed forces. Those Who did not register la-- t week may register after May 21 with their local rationing boards at Duchesne, Mt. Emmons or Roosevelt, if they can present a logical excuse for not having registered on the allotted days, Mr. Fisher said. Mt.

Colton of Salt Lake City, a former Uintah county resident and for many years representative in Congress, was appointed by the board of directors of the association as executive manager, a position created by the board at the meeting Saturday. Mr. Colton, who,' with the cooperation of Mr. Perry W. Jenkins of Cory, Wyoming, was instrumental in the formation of the association, is in an ideal position to serve the groups Interests from his residence in Salt Lake City, and his choice for this position was unanimous, as was that of all the officers selected Saturday. Other Officers C. H. Snow of Ferron, One of the directors from Emery county, was elected vice president and Leon P. Christensen of Vernal, the second director from Uintah county, was elected Secretary-treasure- r. Mr. Christensen has served as temporary secretary of the various meetings which have been held during the associations formation. Named in the articles of Incorporation forming the association are ten counties of Eastern Utah: Duchesne, Carbon, Daggett, Emery, Garfield, Grand, Kane, San Juan, Uintah and Wayne. At the meeting Saturday, the possibility was considered that Kane might not want to participate, as most of its water drains Into the Colorado river below Lees 1 erry, the dividing point between the upper and lower basin states.
