The chairman explained that Red Cross aid to veterans is provided through the home service department in local chapters, through Red Cross workers in military camps and hospitals, and through Red Cross field directors in Veterans Administration hospitals and offices. Home service in our North Sevier chapter stands ready to help any veteran in the community who needs assistance in applying for, and securing government benefits, in the preparation of forms, and in obtaining documents such as birth cerCouncil tificates, she stated. service on family and personal problems also is available. Service to veterans is part of a continuous Red Cross program for men who are, or have been members of the armed forces.

Red Cross workers are stationed in camps and hospitals, both domestic and overseas, to aid the serviceman with persohal and family troubles. After a man is discharged, home service in his local chapter is ready to provide Red Cro?s assistance, stated Mrs. D. G. Burgess, chairman of the home service work in Salina.

JCC Auxiliary Celebrate 2nd Anniversary Accomplishments Listed By Ladies Group Salt Lake City Utah Dairy farmers went over the top again in their annual drive for funds to support the American Dairy Association advertising and merchandising program for 1945-4according to a report made by Legrand Jarman, chairman of the State A.D.A. Committee, in a meeting held at the e Hotel, November 7th. He emphasized that, through the teamwork of farmers and dairy plants, a contribution of one per cent per lb. for butter-fa- t sold during the first 15 days of June, was made to the A.D.A. program by 12,762 dairy farmers. 80 per cent of this dime per cow collection of $9,000.00, is pooled with a like percentage of farmer contributions from 35 other states. The remaining 20 per cent will be retained in the state, according to Mr. Jarman, to supplement the Utah Dairy Federation program to build dairying and improve public understanding of Utahs dairy problems and the essentiality of dairy roducts in the diet. Professor A. J. Morris, managing director of the Utah Dairy Federation, pointed out that 85 per cent of all the dairy farmers contributed to the fund drive of last June, and the- 75 dairy manufacturing plants and cream stations, assisted their patrons in making the deductions.

The latest tabulations show none of the counties have yet reached their goal, but added incentive for early and high attainment of their E goals was given when state bond headquarters announced four prize contests. First county to go over in ES bonds will receive from the U. S. Navy, a carrier based Navy fighter plane ( to be flown in to Salt Lake). Second county over in Es, will receive a gun. County attaining highest percentage of E quota, will receive an Army M5A1 tank. County showing biggest improvement over E sales performance in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh War Loans, will receive a gun.
