In Advance RANDOLPH WARD War Spurs Metal Search ORGANIZES FOR Bear River Valley Rich County is being organized for Civilian Defense along the lines outlined by the National and State offices. The individual resident has not as yet been contacted as to the part he can and is expected to do. It is the hope of the Rich County Defense Council that we will be knit into a closely organized unit to take care of any emergency in Rich County and extend aid in adjacent areas if needed. Under the State plan for Civilian Defense each county will organize under a chairman a group of people to take care of a particular part of work that is necessary in organizing or that may arise. The following persons have been named in Rich County as Chairmen cf Units in the Rich County Defense Coun. cil: Planning Division: Lewis Longhurst, Randolph, Utah. Protective Division: Ben Weston, of Laketown, Utah. Necessities Division: Vem Hopkin of Woodruff, Utah. Communication Division: Leo McKinnon, Randolph, Utah. Public Utilities Division: George Barker, Randolph, Utah. In addition to the above named chairmen on the Defense Council, a committee has been appointed to allocate tires to the Rich County residents. The committee consists of the following per. sons: Clarence Heap, Randolph, chairman; Benjamin Weston, Laketown; T. J. Tingey, Woodruff. Miss Norrine Whalstrom will act as their Secretary, end while it is not known as yet just where to apply it is believed that all committee members and the secretary will have application blanks. The committee will meet as often as necessary to pass on applications to purchase tires." Upon receipt of a certificate you may purchase a tire at any dealer of your choice. Dont be pessimistic about the war and dont be optimistic about receiving a tire. This commodity is on a ration basis and Rich County will have a quota. Mr. Dan M. Whelan, Regional Director of the Civilian Defense Council assures the Rich County Committee that not having a railroad terminal will have a bearing on tires allotted for essential trade. Your committee on tire allocation has made a tentative allotment on a percentage basis of the cars registered in 1941 according to the voting precincts. At present it is urged that you conserve what you have. Dont put a screen on. your water tap to stop a two man submarine that isnt there. Save the screen and other ma-ta- ls and paper. Arrangements are being made to gather this material. An undispensable part of the winning of this war is playing your part in the purchase of Defense Bonds and constributing to the activities of the American Red Cross.

V FORMER RANDOLPH HOOD BANQUET A banquet was held Tuesday In th Recreational hall for the Randolph youths in leiu of a trip to California, which was planned for the day after Christmas. After war was declared the trip was canceled, not knowing how soon, the coast cities may be attacked by the enemy. The boys earned $1200 which was to finance the trip to California. It was decided by the Bishopric of the Ward and the ten' supervisors of the youths program to use the money for the purchase of United States Defense Bonds. This banquet and the purchase of $1200 worth of bonds finished the Youth program for the Aaron-i- c Ran-do- ! l Priosthood for 1941. The program was based upon actual work on civio projects, such as road improvement, beautification, and an equal share on attendance to religious Utah has become the center of a search for minerals, and many men such as these are testing areas for strategic metals.
