Show Reed Probst Receives Praise News of The Legislature The lawmakers really went to work making laws this fourth week of the twenty-six- th legislature. While the only major measures passed by both houses wece the of the workmens liberalization compensation act and the occupational diseases act, introduction of the governors post war planning and construction bills and virtual completion of the new school financing measures bring into legislative view almost all of the importthe ant controversial proposals is twenty-sixt- h expected legislature to deal with. The senate and house had one of their to be expected altercations when the house demanded the upper body rescind its action in naming a sifting committee and the senate figuratively thumbed its nose at the house for suggesting such a thing. So the Senate sifting committee of seven, headed by Lorenzo E. lt Lake) will hereEllgren after have complete say as to what bills are brought to the floor of the senate whether those be house or senate measures. Many a well proposal will have its head lopped off right there. And inasmuch as the house has a hundred more bills before it now than it did two years ago at this stage of the proceedings theres certain to be some wailing and gnashing of teeth. The governors post wtar bills which would enable counties and municipalities to share in possible state and fedcffal funds for planning and construction, permit the state publicity and industrial development commission to assist communities in setting up small manufacturing and industrial enterprises met with rather cordial response in most quarters. His suggested appropriation of $2,000,000 to the state board of examiners for these construction and planning activities may strike some snags. Pension and pay measures for public employees are numerous and far reaching, embracing everybody on the state payroll from the governor to the school janitor. Its too early to predict what will happen to them but if the usual economy bloc starts doing much arithmetic the more social minded legislators are in for some difficulties, because all of the bills call for some state as well as individual contributions. The house set up a uniform salary committee, Jos. L. Newey to harmonize such measures. Please turn to page fonr (D-Sa- Receives Letter Camp Bairkley, Texas J. W.

Captain Reed C Probst was one of the seven chaplains who were featured in the magazine Yank , an official publication of the United States Army. The article reads, One of the chaplains who is notoriously loose with safety is Capt. Reed Probst, the 41st Divisions Mormon chaplain. On one operation chaplain Probst landed on and held his first service on the beach near the regimental CP following evening. There were Jap planes overhead, but the services continued. This wasnt a new experience for Chaplain Probst. During the fighting of Buna and a number of his services were interrupted by air raids.

There the Japs dug in on the ridge inland from the drome, pinning them down with machine gun, mortar, and artillery fire. The divisional graves registration officers had established a division cemetery near the ciriginal beach head but it was impossible to evacuate the bodies of those killed on the strip. Chaplain Probst picked a site for the burial of the dead. Jap artillery fire drove them out of the area, and the (regimental C O ordered them back to the beach. But the beach of coral made digging out of the question. The detail appeared, so Chaplain Probst, his assistant and several enlisted graves personnel returned to the site. They dug graves and buried the dead under fire. Chaplain Probst read individual services for each man. After the campaign ended he wrote letters of condolence to the next of kin. For his actions Chaplain Probst was awairded the Silver Star. Before entering the army as a chaplain, Reed Probst was an instructor at the South Cache Seminary. His home town is Malad, Ida.
