WOMEN CAN SERVE IN THE WAR EFFORT Women can serve the war effort in hundreds of ways besides working in war plants or munitions factories, Mr. Jordan, manager of the Logan office of the United States Employment Service, observed today. He said some women may feel that because they are not employed in direct war production, they are not in war work. He said this conception was not in line with the facts.

Ger-oldi- Utah industry is adequately diversified so that workers in the seasonal industries may obtain work throughout the year. An outstanding example of this is the metal mining industry. Usually, in the spring a number of workers leave the mines to pursue their normal work upon the farms of the state and return when the crops have been harvested. The metal mining districts, prin- cipally Bingham, Garfield, Magna, Park City, Tooele, Eureka, Bauer and Frisco are situated adjacent to farming areas and thus an ideal situation for employment during the off season is created for the farmer. Farm workers are encouraged to work in the mines and smelters period. during their Excellent wages, good healthful working conditions and homes at low rentals are offered workers and their families if they are living loo far from the mining community to commute daily. Owing to the shortage of manpower many and varied types of employment are open to men and there are also jobs for women above ground in surface plants. The work is interesting and offers opportunity for both men and women to learn and advance. Many muckers have become foremen, shift bosses, managers and even owners. Many who started at the bottom have made independent fortunes leasing or in mining property of their own. Under a recent ruling, farmers who engage in mine or smelter work during winter months will not have their draft classification changed, and they will be released to return to the farm in the spring. FSA EXTENDS CREDIT, TO THE SERVICE MEN Stuart H. Richards, Farm Security Administration supervisor in Rich and Daggett counties said today that he had been instructed to give returning war veterans first call on FSA loan funds. Richards said a letter he received from Lawrence I. Hewes, Jr., FSA Regional Director pointed out that injured veterans are beginning to return fo farms and outlined special assistance to them. Hewes letter to Richards said that FARM WORKERS CAN UTAHS UNITED WAR ASSIST IN MINING FUND QUOTA $410,000 present FSA funds are inadequate to Agricultural workers can go into no metal and coal mines when the harvest seasons end on limited referrals which .will release them when they are again needed On their farms and ranches, Joseph S. Mayer, state WMC director, said today. Many farmers have long made it a practice to work in the metal or coal mines during the winter months when there is little to be done in the fields Mr. Mayer said, We are hoping many fo them will give a hand in the mines this year." An agricultural worker who wants to work as a metal or coal miner during the winter will be given a limited referral by his U. S. Employment Service office, Mr. Mayer said. This referral will permit the granting of a Certificate of Separation to the farm worker when it is time for him to go back to his regular farm work," he said. Agricultural workers will not lose their farm status by reason of working in a mine. (Mr. Mayer said that Selective Service boards are urging farm workers to accept metal mining and coal mining employment during their offseason months. non-ferro- WOODRUFF NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Frank Frazier, Verla and Annie Frazier were shoppers at Evanston Wednesday. Many people about town attended the show, So Proudly We Hail and reported it as being very good. The ladies about town have been busy this week signing up for ration book four. Mr. and Mrs. Lerwis Stuart spent last week end in Logan with Mrs. Stuarts folks. , . The sixth, seventh and eighth grades spent Wednesday evening over at Vern Hopkins home. Marian had these boys and girls over for a Halloween party. Games were played, luncheon served and al! had a swell time. Mrs. Osro Comia had some callers at her home this last week who were friends of Cals, when he was in the mission field in Canada. The women said everyone up there though Cal just one fine fellow. This woman lives in Pocatello now. She wished her best wishes to be sent to Cal in North Africa Mr. and Mrs. Delmer Brown motored to Ogden Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Bryson motored to Salt Lake Wednesday to have a check up with the doctor on Luthers health condition. We are glad he is slowly improving and able to walk a bit now.

'"venteen national and international agencies, both on the war fronts, home front and devastated countries of Eur-c- e and Asia the cry ha3 gone up for the people of America to "let their hearts decide." Not only in Utah but throughout the United States the is underway, under auspices of the National War Fund, of which the United War Fund is the Utah unit. From President Roosevelt down, leaders in all walks of life exalted and humble have pled with the people to open their hearts and their And it is certain that those of our community will rally to the call and fill our quota plus. What is the National War Fund our own United War Fund of Utah? It has been stated before, but it bears ap-p- pocket-book- el s. repetition : Under one appeal have been gathered the separate campaigns of the seventeen war and home front agencies. They are: USO (recreational and entertainment centers for servicemen in America and abroad; shows for the men on the fighting fronts and in camps) ; United Seamens Service; War Prisoners Aid; Russian Relief; United China Relief; British War Relief , Society; Greek War Relief Association; Polish War Relief; United Yugoslav Relief Fund; French Relief Fund; Belgian War Relief Society; United Czechoslovak Relief; Queen Wilhelmina Fund; Norwegian Relief ; Friends of Luxembourg; Refugee Relief Trustees; U. S. Committee for the Care of European Children. Thus, with the one appeal, donors are asked to give once for all seventeen egencies. It's a simplified arrangement and a more efficient one. The huge national budget of $25,000,000 wit be divided upon a basis of requirments that will be fair to all and adequate for their needs. Of this quota, Utahs is year-befor- He added that it would be necessary to "ration loans, with veterans having first call upon them. In Rich and Daggett counties, Richards said, loan funds were exhausted last April. This year, Richards said, I think we can make about 50 loans; provided, of course, hat our funds are restored to the level of last year. We should be able to assist any returning veterans without having to deny help to present borrowers. But there will certainly continue to he a need here which we cannot meet. Hewes letter said that most veterans with farm experience will want to return to the land. Indications are that the big problem will pot be getting the boys to go back to the farm the problem will be finding land for them. Farm values are up and so is the price of stock ' and equipment. Many veterans who ars skilled farmers will have difficulty buying back the property they sold on entering militay' service. They will need help in finding a new place on the land the land for which they fought. See that they get that help in full measure. Hewes warned against post-wa- r attempts to make agriculture a dumping for veterans without farming ground experience. After the war there will be many bub unthinking persons who will urge that agriculture be made a dumping ground for veterans who know nothing about farming but who are not readily absorbed by industry, Hewes stated. . "Such & policy would be unfair to the soldier. You are 10 make loans only to those with bona fide arm background and experience. , well-meanin- g, Other great wars are to follow this one. And to win the peace, the morale of the worlds peoples must be maintained not destroyed through the want of food, medicine and rehabilitation as conquered areas are freed.
