GRANGER Income Payments at Record High The Commerce Department said income payments to individuals during June reached a record high of $9,537 million. After allowance for large disbursement of dividend and interest payments at and other seasonal influences, the index of total income payments advanced from 162.7 in May to 165.4 in June (1935-3- 9 as 100). Although a portion of the rise in Federal payrolls, chiefly accountable for the advance, represented disbursement of pay increases granted members of the armed forces by recent legislation, the gain in military and civil employment was substantial nevertheless. Factory payrolls continued to expand as the production of war goods more than offset the drop in civilian output, the Department said. Entrepreneurial income (net income of owners of unincorporated businesses including fanners) represented about 15 percent of all income payments in each of the two years, the Department said. During the first half of this year, agencies of Federal, State and local Governments paid out one dollar of every seven that went to the nations wage and salary earners. Agriculture imbetween proved its relative position 1939 and 1942 as the net income of the nation's 6,000,000 farm operators in-- ; to 6.6 percent of total creased from income paid out, while entreprenehrial net income declined slightly from 9.6 to 9.2 percent of the total, the Department said. Relations With Free French. Secretary of State Hill told his press conference discussions now being held in London were designed to enlarge the scope of economic and military collaboration with the Free French and might include arrangements for the U. S. to obtain .rategic material a from . the d central African Free territory. mid-ye- r i ar 5-- V -- .

Antiaircraft Artillery and Ordnance Department, the announcement said. .Uie comprise class men, deferred for dependency only, who volunteer for induction "for the express purpose of competing for admission to Officer Candidate School." The program was inaugurated in March and an overall quota of 1,500 per month was set; however, this figure was 3-- A doubled in May. Nurses for the Armed Forces. American Red Cross Chairman Davis. Army Surgeon General Magee and Navy Surgeon General Mclntire told their joint press conference that the lie d Cross had launched a campaign to recruit 3,000 registered nurses monthly to meet the needs of the armed forces. "We need to get twice as many nurses a month as are now being enrolled for Mr. Davis said. The Army asked for 2,500 nurses and the Navy for 500 nurses. To qualify, the nurses must be registered, be graduates of an accredited nursing school, be under. 40 years of age,., in good health and unmarried, Mr. Davis said. New Construction. Despite a sharp- - contraeeasonal decline in private construction, the volume of new construction in the second quarter of 1942 reached a record level of $3,297 million., 25 percent higher than the preceding quarter and 28 percent above the .same period in 1941, the Commerce Department reported. The increase was due to public war construction which was one and one-ha- lf times as large as in the previous quarter and almost three times as large as in the same period a year ago. The Department said the shift from private to 'public war construction probably will continue during the rest of the year, and it estimated the total volume of construction in the last six months will be about $5,800 million compared with $5,934 million in the first six months. However, total construction probably will begin to taper off toward the end of 1942 because of the increasing pressure of material and labor shortage. Red Cross Aid. Red Cross Chairman Davis said the Army and Navy have requested a new quota of 2,500 pints of blood to be collected by the Red Cross during the next 12 months. Approximately 50,000 donors a week will be needed to supply the RICH COUNTY MAN IN SENATE RACE Randolph. Utah.

Hopkin of Wood- With the opening of school this fall, ruff has entered a three cornered fight in an effort to again win the Democratic nomination for the State Senate at the primary election, Sept. 1st. He is opposed by W. H. H. Cranmer, mine operator of Keetley, and Karl Thielke, - Secretary of the local labor union of Park City. Mr. Hopkin has served two terms in the State Senate, representing Rich, Morgan, Wasatch, Daggett and SumHe has maintained a mit counties. faithful record of service for his people, has climbed to a high position in Utahs Senate, having the respect and support of his fellow senators, thus placing him in an advantageous spot to secure consideration for his district. Senator Hopkin, during his 8 years in the Senate has refused to accept any policitical appointments, in fact he successfully sponsored through the senate the bill making it unlawful for a member of the legislature to accept a political apointment during the term for which he was elected. He has refused any favors of any kind and kept himself unobligated that he might freely vote his convictions. Any man from Rich county has a difficult task winning a seat in the State Senate, because of the voting power of the larger counties in our Senatorial District, so when one of our local citizens wins for two terms the office of State Senator, and throughout his entire legislative career establishes a clean, outstanding record, avoiding extreme radical legislation, opposing at times the administration in his efforts to cut down the cost of government, it seems no more than fair .that on September 1st, we support the man who has already supported us. - the boys at South Rich from the ninth to the twelveth grades will be given an opportunity never before provided for in the Rich School District.

It is farm youth a organization, 100 percent American in its ideals and outlook and has no outside affiliations. There is no secrecy in connection with any of its activities. The course offered in the ninth grade basis which will be on a will consist principally of the study of agricultural science and its related activities. Courses from the tetath to the twelveth grades will consist of a class in agricultural science and one 'n farm mechanics as it centers around the needs of each individual boy with respect to his home farm setup. Present indications are that farm machinery will be rationed for the coming year and anything that boys can do to help preserve and repair farm machinery' andequipmerat should- - be worthwhile' as well as educational. Act, According to the Smith-Hughall students in voc. ag. are required to conduct as part of their regular school work some directed or supervised practice in agriculture. In most instances this directed or supervised practice consists of a home project. Such a project usually Involves the economic production and disposal, on a basis, of an strictly farm business-lik- e as eggs, such commodity agricultural pork, beef, milk, potatoes, hay, etc. In other words, a good home project is a productive farm enterprise carefully studied, planned, executed, accounted and judged by the boy. For a project to be a good one, It Is essential that the boy conducting it assume full responsibility for financing it, for managing it, and for doing all work in connection with its accomplishment. The most valuable asset any boy can acquire is the ability to do things successfully. This ability depends on constructive thinking, planning, and doing; and project work offers the best opportunity to develop these habits. It is hoped that this program will adequately meet the needs of the comnon-prof- it, non-politic- es munity and that all who are interested in the bettermen of rural life will to make this program a success.
