Perhaps the greatest sacrifice is placed on the school lunch cooks, who must serve on that day without pay, due to the fact that the hours per month cannot be increased without a special ruling from Washington.

This year, because of the war, labor shortage will be greater than ever. This means that .the urge to leave school before the end of the term will be very great At the same time education and school training are constantly becoming a greater necessity. It is in an attempt to maintain decent standards of education and at the same time release students for spring work ...that the six day school week was put into operation. In many cases this plan works a definate hard-sp on both parents and school people. For. teachers, custodians and bus drivers, Saturday has been the only ruary 16, 1942.

Numerous plans have been suggested but the one receiving attention just now is to perfect a paper fabric bag of sufficient strength to serve. The paper will be twisted into thread-lik- e strings that will be woven into a bag similar to the burlap bag. The one stumbling block in this move is to obtain sufficient paper to produce these bags in sufficient quantity in the next three weeks. Officials in Washington are awaiting the arrival of paper officials for a special conference to be called the minute these officials arrive. The outcome we hope it is bags for the wool!

Treas. n, RANDOLPH TO HAVE NEW CHEESE FACTORY heads to :kool HANDLE RATIONING The moot question, of sugar rationing not settled, although some advance information has come through. The Government has asked all school boat us and all school teachers to cooperate in the rationing program by handling the registration of all heads of families, or heads of households when the nation-wid- e registration is piovided for. They were also asked to of rationing handle the distribution cards for sugar. As in all previous rationing, this will be accomplished through the County Councils of Defense of the Utah State Council of Defense. Registration cards will be provided by the government and will be distributed through the Utah State Council to the County, Councils and will then be disributed to the schools. With them will go a set of instructions covering every detail of the first of the nation's oLii is Mr. M. K.

It is not necessary for any person to see any cunty rationing board in connection with sugar rationing, because there are no exceptions to the rule under any consideration. Those who have bought sugar previously in the hope of having a surplus stock are doomed o disappointment, since the government rules insist that all sugar on hand over two pounds per each person In the household be declared, and this will foe deducted from their normal ration. If there is any idea that these rules can be evaded, they should be dispelled immediately since sales of sugar in recent months have been recorded by the retailers and these records are open to government inspection. Those who are suspected of hoarding may find themselves in a situation that is embarrassing. Search yarrants can be issued to reveal their hidden stocks. Violations are no mere misdemeanor; they involve a $10,000 fine or ten years imprisonment which will be invoked if the fortunes of war progress against the nation as they have in the past few months. n, is.-su- We do Job Work. |
