MASONS HONOR HAMMOND At a joint meeting of the Carbon Masonic, the Joppa, the Orient Lodge (Green River) and the Uintah lodges, held in the Price Masonic temple last Saturday, May 19, J. W. Hammond of Price, was honored with a life membership given "him by the Carbon Lodge for his services in that organization. Mr. Hammond, with the coming of the new fiscal year, will have completed 27 years as secretary of the Carbon lodge. While he was presented during the nomination meeting for reelection to the office, he refused saying that he felt that another member should be given the opportunity of serving the lodge in that capacity. Reverend Richard Halbert was then elected to the office. Mr. Hammond became a member of the Masonic brotherhood when he was 21 years of age and has been an active member for the past 52 years. The life membership was presented to him by Grand Master John F. Rowe, Eureka, in behalf of the Carbon lodge. The four lodges had convened in a joint session for the purpose of receiving an official visitation from the grand officers of Utah. These official visitors included besides Grand Master Rowe, Lincoln G. Kelly, Salt Lake City, deputy grand master; Harold Kline, grand sword bearer; O. C. Skaife, grand standard bearer; R. J. Vaughn, grand marshall, E. R. Gibson, grand secretary, and others. C. W. Peterson of Kenilworth delivered the principle address, his topic being on education. SCHOOL BOARD HEARS REPORT ON TEACHERS, CONTRACTS AWARDED Teacher contracts are being signed and returned to the board of education very satisfactorily, according to a report made by Superintendent Reeves at the school board meeting held last Saturday, May 19. Much of this is attributed to the new salary schedule which increased the salaries of most of the teachers $300 over last year. The board members awarded the contracts for servicing district typewriters and the auditing of the books. A letter of commendation from David H. Allred, school lunch official, was read by Superintendent Reeves. The letter contained praising comments upon the lunch survey made by the district in March.

Van Aelstyn, district health officer, presented a health service program which might be adopted by Carbon and Emery counties, made possible by a recent health law passed by the legislature. Dr. Van Aelstyn presented the program at a recent meeting of the commissioners. This new program would greatly benefit the residents of both counties, according to Dr. Van Aelstyn, in several ways. One of the greatest advantages of the program would be the possibility of an immediate tracing of disease sources which would aid health officials in the reduction of epi- Jackson Jewkes Wins Liars Cup In Legion Meet No mean accomplishment is that of being proclaimed the biggest liar of any member of the Price American Legion post, especially so against a field of twenty more or less accomplished liars. The new champion is Jackson Jewkes, whose recent army experiences no doubt came in good stead, besides being a football coach, a position which frequently contributes to shading of the truth. Anyway, the new champ was awarded the loving cup for winning the annual affair at the Legion meeting last Thursday. Three wins in a row takes the cup for keeps, the best record so far has been made by Dr. F. R. King two straight. "White Way Gets New Cleaning and Painting This Week on Main The White Way street is receiving a cleaning and a new coat of aluminum paint for the first time in three years, according to Ben Ward city recorder. Only half of the lights have been used for street illumination during the past two years, as one light on each pole has been turned off as a war time measure to conserve electricity. The city council has ordered that all the lights should now be turned on inasmuch as the power they will use is no longer critically needed. ONE MARRIAGE LICENSE Only one marriage license was issued by B. H. Young, county demics. The new plan calls for a complete health staff which is not possible under the present existing conditions. The staff for the two counties would include the health officer in charge, assisted by a pediatrician, a nurse supervisor and assistant supervisor, a staff of five nurses and a laboratory assistant. There would also be a secretary and stenographer. A separate building to house the offices would most likely be necessary. The Carbon county commissioners are in favor of the program according to William Campbell, county commissioner in charge of the health program for the county. However, there is, at present, no way to make a tax levy to meet the countys share of the expense. According to figures by B. H. Young, county clerk, the cost per year would amount to about $61,600, with Carbon countys share being between $18,000 and $22,000 and Emerys share from $8,000 to $10,000. Part of Carbon countys expenses would be met by Price and Helper cities and it is estimated that approximately 50 per cent of the total amount would be met by appropriations jfrom federal and state funds, clerk this week. The license was' issued to Vernon Melvin Barnes, 24, Salt Lake City, and Trvila Reve Nelson, 19, Ferron. New OPA Dry Goods PRICE PIONEER Retail Regulation Will Be Opposed DIES SUNDAY AT ST.

The miners agreed, however, to return to work beginning with the afternoon shift on Wednesday, May 23, and remain at their jobs during negotiations, which are scheduled to begin at once between mine management and union officials, according to Joe Dowd, of UMW District 22. A late report from Mr. Dowd stated that Mr. Shields, Salt Lake City, general manager for the U. S. Fuel company had agreed to meet the miners on Friday morning at 9 oclock and negotiate with them for extra pay for working under water. vice-presid- ent PRICE AIRMEN REPORTED SAFE Welcome and long awaited news was received late Wednesday by relatives of two Price airmen who had been first reported missing and then prisoners of the Germans, both finally meeting in the same prison camp, Stalag Luft 1.
