TO STUDY VETERANS PROBLEMS Southern Utah Civic HELP ASKED TO COMPLETE GAME FARM Clubs to Be Guests A letter to parents of students graduating from Carbon senior high school this spring has been prepared under the sponsorship of the Carbon County Associated Industries, in an effort to induce the parents to send their children to Carbon college for the first two years of college work, beginning with the fall term. Because of the fact that many students from this area leave here to attend colleges elsewhere, an effort is to be made to induce them to enroll at the local institution, according to J. A. Theobald, executive secretary of the industries organization. The letter states, in part: We believe that the activities of wise men succeeded in getting the college established here and that there is a definite need for it to continue. While the war has greatly decreased the enrollment of thousands of colleges and universities, we believe that Carbon college is entitled to more support than it has received. If the college is to receive continued state support, you must support it by sending your son or daughter to it it must not be left for the other fellows children to help keep the college in our midst. We urge you to be a builder of the community by placing your full and active support back of the college. This appeal is made for Carbon college with the united support of all civic and service organizations in the county. ...
