Mrs. Rasmussen, who served the Any Word Concerning Young Men efficiently, is convalescing From North Sevier Serving In The from a recent operation. Mrs. MurNations Armed Forces Welcomed phy will be assisted by Mrs. Hilda For Fublication Gates and Mrs. Alfred Martin as first Received in Salina Letters or word from the boys from Noith Sevier serving their country in the armed forces, is always welcome news at the Sun office. Parents, relatives or friends receiving such communications, are invited to bring them in for publication. Everyone on the home front is interested in those young men and any news will be used in its entirety as far as practical. Mrs. Otto Kube received a letter Sunday last from her son, Morrett Brandt, stating that he has arrived at his destination safely and that he was okay. Morrett left the United States some five weeks ago and this was the first news stating his safe arrival. Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Onest Nielson have heard directly and indirectly from their two sons, Kay and Leonard, who are serving in the U. S. Navy. A letter was received from Leonard Friday stating he was fine, and the following letter written by a friend of Kays, is self explanatory. Camp Elliott, San Diego, California, July 18, 1942. Dear Mrs. Nielson: I am writing this in a bit of a hurry hoping it will be both legible and understandable. We are terribly rushed these days, expecting anything any time and really not having any time to call our own. I hope you are well, Kay is fine. I saw him last night for the first time in several weeks and he looked better than I have ever seen him. He is gaining weight almost unbelieveably fast. He told me that he weighs about a hundred and ninety-seve- n pounds and it isnt at all hard to believe. He told me that he felt better than he had in ages. I have a large picture of him that I praciteal-lforced him to have made. He is a very handsome young man. He is even better looking now that he has had his nose treated. They did wonders with it at the hospital at Mare Island. I suppose you are wondering just why I am writing you. Well, Kay has asked me many times to do so and for some reason I never seemed to get around to it. However, last evening he asked me to write to you for a very special reason. He was suddenly transferred late last night and was not allowed to write to any one. Naturally you can readily understand why. For this reason I am writing to you immediately. He said that the location of his transfer wasnt one to warrant any concern and asked you not to worry about him. He will write to you as soon as Mrs. Miles and second counsellors. served who has the Curfew, society as secretary and treasurer, was reappointed. Mrs. Lucian Martin and Mrs. Chloe Torgensen are the retiring counsellors. Meetings of the Relief society, adjourned for the summer months, will resume in September. Officers of the ward bishopric presided at the meeting. XYALS CHRISTENSEN, RED CROSS DIRECTOR, VISITS HERE Nyals Christensen, director of disaster relief in the Pacific area, with headquarters at San Francisco, visited the early days of this week with Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Burgess. Mr. Christensen, who is very busy during the stress of war conditions, is unable to spend more than a week away from duties incured by war conditions and is leaving for the coast Thursday. He wras accompanied by Mrs. Meanwhile I intend to do everything I can to keep in constant communication with him. He told me that he thought he would go insane before he finally obtained his tiansfer and I can easily understand that as I have been waiting just as long as he has and I still havent gotten one. He was really very happy over his transfer and for that reason I utterly possible. dont think that you have any real cause for worry. I will let you know the minute I hear from him and let you know how he is and if possible just where he is. He told me to be sure to say hello to my little sister, and that he was sorry that he would have to pass up the defense stamp this time but that he would make up for it next time. He made his first petty officer rate just before he left. He is now a Pharmacists Mate 3'c. Hes very proud of it and he has every right to be. He made it about five months ahead of time. It sure was swell for him to get it so soon. Only two men out of his whole outfit made premature rates, so it was quite an honor. Well, Im afraid I must close now and return to niy fvork. It has been a great pleasure to write to you and I hope that you will find time in the near future to drop me a line and let me know how you are. If ever I can be of any service to you let me know immediately. I am looking forward to receiving an answer to this. T hope you dont disappoint me.

Changes Sugar to Save Fresh Fruits Local Rationing Boards Authorized To Permit Use Of Any Reasonable Amount Of Sugar 4 Qts To Pound y is 47 Stating that it considers the conservation of fruit fully as important as the conservation of sugar, the Office of Price Administration in Washington has authorized local rationing boards to permit the use of any reasonable amount of sugar for home canning with the understanding that with each pound of sugar four quarts of fruit will be canned. This restatement of the 0. P. A. policy is deemed necessary at this time in view of the need for saving all of the fruit crops which are ripening throughout the country, according to Gus P. Backman, State Rationing Director for Utah. Explained Mr. Backman, There is no specific limitation on the amount of sugar which a family may obtain for home canning. To make sure that local rationing boards fully understand this important fact about the sugar rationing program, our office has today sent out a bulletin to all local boards instructing them to give each applicant individual consideration and grant sugar allotments based on present needs of each family. The amount of fruit canned in previous seasons, local canning practices, the availability of fresh fruit, and studies made by the Department of Agriculture and the consumers division of the 0. P. A. are to be used for guidance of local rationing boards and in no sense impose an arbitrary limitation for home canning. In most sections of Utah, Mr. Backman further explained, I think local board? are interpreting the home canning sugar rules quite liberally and are giving applicants what they are willing to certify they need for this purpose. With this liberal interpretation, the State Board is in complete agreement. We want the fruit of the state conserved before it spoils. Not a pound of it should go to waste. When sugar is thus used it is not immediately consumed but is stored with the canned fruit for future seasons. A generous allotment of sugar under these conditions represents both a legitimate and a patriotic use. ions.

No, Im not bitter any more because I wont win this war behind a gun or on a ship or in the sky. Ive come around to thinking that here at home weve got the job of passing the ammunition along, of sacrificing little things, of giving up and going without, of looking ahead to less instead of more. Somebodys got to do the necessary, undramatic and I guess thats things what older men are for. To the United States Rubber Co., which sponsors this advertisement, and the artist and the writer who prepared it, our thanks. Through the door of an empty room they have given us a glimpse beyond the squabbling and striving for advantage, the petty arguments and futile buck passing that sometimes seem to be the chief substance of our war effort here at home, into the real heart of America.

A complete ticket of Republicans and Democrats with the exception of a Democrat for county surveyor, have filed for Sevier county offices, and with all incumbent county officers running for reelection, the political pot has started to simmer and is expected to boil with interest gaining momentum as the time draws nearer for the primary election September 1st.
