Relief Society was celebrated at Randolph Tuesday, March 17th, with a pageant depicting the organization of the Relit f Society and old-tidance and program.

Everyone pronounced it one of the best celebrated anniverBies of the Relief The Utah Fish and Game department today asked sportsmen throughout the state to make recommendations on fishing and hunting seasons for the coming year, and bag limits. In a memorandum on seasons and bag limits sent all Wildlife Federations, Mark Anderson, Department Director, asked sportsmen to submit comment on a series of questions vital to establishing the seasons. It will not be long, Anderson said before state and federal proclamations on fishing and hunting seasons and bag limits for 1942 will be taking shape. In order that we might have the benefit of your recommendations will you submit your comment on the following questions. Among the questions listed were these. Opening dates and length of seasons; opinion on whether sportsmen favor one opening date for all fishing waters :n old-tim- Society., the Axis. Contrary to Japanese propaganda broadcast reports, the Navy is. not withholding information on American losses or attacks, Mr. Knox said. Because of the vast distances involved in the pacific, it is necessary for fleet units to report back to their bases before details can be announced, he said. The Navy Nurse Corps The Corps will call to active duty 150 nurses during March and 100 each in the April, May and June. Although nurses already have been selected they are continuing in their civilian work until called. The Department said its but hospital facilities are increasing, until all are completed, additional nurses will not be needed. - Always Remember the Why After April, for instance, practically ail women's hoisery will be made of rayon. WPB has just made larger quantities of rayon available to the mills for that purpose. In the beginning there was silk, but 'such silk stock piles as wed accumulated before we broke with the Japanese brigands were used up rapidly by the Army and Navy. Army and Navy made the silk into parachute cloth' and other things (silk waste is made into powder bags for the big guns, bags to hold the smokeless powder). With silk cut off, the stocking manufacturers turned increasingly to nylon that wonderful synthetic silk which made its debut about the time of the 1939 New York Worlds Fair. This worked all right for awhile, or until the Army and Navy, having exhausted silk stocks, turned themselves to nylon for parachute cloth. Theyre using more and more of it every day and that is why you will wear rayon. Merle Taylor Dies of Heart Attack After Short Illness Merle Taylor, former executive the state, and if so, what date; what dates, hours of shooting and bag limits are preferable for waterfowl; bag limits and seasons on upland birds; preference on a longer or shorter hunting season for deer; preference on whether the deer bag limit should be increased or kept the same as in the past. Still another question asked if the sportsmen were satisfied with the usual early November Elk hunt or if they would prefer a different time. sec- -' retary of the Utah State Press association, died in a Salt Lake hospital, on February 21st from a heart attack. Mr. Taylor had been ill for a- very short time and the news of his death came as a shock to his friends and associ- ates. , Funeral services were held on Tuesday February 23rd, in the Yale ward in Salt Lake City. Amos N. Merrill, a life long friend of Mr. Taylor, as well as of the family, was one of speakers, and spoke of his long acquaintance with Mr. Taylor. Thomas E. McKay was the other speaker and told of his fine association while he was president of the Anderson explained that the question, naire was sent the federations follow- ing inquiries by various sportsmen. In answering one such query, the director mission, with both Merle Taylor and his son, Hal. Both of them served their missions in that field, under Mr. McKay, thirty years apart.

Approved, Pullor-u- Passed, single comb, White ; The health and welfare of the men that work in the mines is one of the foremost concerns of the mining operator. Today, there are virtually none of the floating type of miner who roams from mining camp they are permanent citizens that take pride in this vigorous, hardy profession. The modern change room for miners to us when they come off shift, have provisions for the men to shower and change to dry clothes, thereby eliminating one of the health hazards of early day mining. Change rooms are equipped with all modern conveniences and are heated continuously. practices and first aid Sty have greatly reduced the hazards of mining. At this time when every able bodied man Is needed for service to his country in industry as well as at the front, particular attention is given to this phase of mining. A miners boarding bouse is no soup kitchen. They are clean, modern wholesome places that cater to appetites. Recreation Is stressed in all camps. During the summer months all the competative games of sport are enjoyed. Teams of various types are sponsored. When winter comes, fine bowlings alleys and various other types of Indoor sports are taken up. he-ma- n said: The usual arguments against an earlier season are that more meat spoils on an average with earlier seasons that nearly all cattle and sheep are off the higher ranges, and leaves axe usually off trees and brush by late October. The most logical argument against a longer season is that more than 90 per cent of the deer are taken in the first two days of the present 11 day season. Longer hunts would also cost the department more than the shorter season. There are also many good points in favor of an earlier season. Better weather, better roads, more recreation and less hardship are among them. There are two good reasons why the pheasant hunt is usually held early in November. First, to avoid as much as possible overlapping and conflict with other hunts, and second, the farmers have practically all of their crops out of the fields.' Irrigation is also at a minimum during that time. m Radio Specialists Are EFFECTIVE CHANGES IN Needed by Marinle Corps PHYSICAL REQUIREMENT Leg- C. R. ASHBY SENT horn Chicks. Also heavy mixed chicks.
