HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
HELP CONSERVE FRUIT

For the purpose of relieving the Ia
Dor situation the Canon City High
school was temporarily closed We'd
ncsday at the instance of the board
of education in order that the stu
dents might assist in some of the
more pressing fall work of the com
munity About 125 boys were affect
ed by the order. sixty-fiye of whom
had previously made arrangements
with the ranchers, in addition to a
large number of young women, will
be afforded an opportunity of taking
part in the gathering Of the fruit
crop and in helping the canning com
pany meet the war requisition of the
government for its products. Many
of the students began worl, in the
orchards and at the canning plant
this morning
Those who have not secured places
TO work will be apprised of the names
of orchardists who have filed applica-
ton for apple pickers and they will
be permitted to choose the places
where they desire to work. but will
be requested to make their selections
In such way that everybody need
ing assistance will get their proper
,ionate amount of help.
1t is manifestly impossible for the
board of education or the Chamber
of Commerce to designate the places
where the students shall work, and
that is left to their own determina-
tion. A list of the students who are
willing to work has been filed at the
office of the secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce in the postoffice block
and fruit growers who are in need of
help should keep the secretary posted
so that when he receives a report
that one of the students have finished
work on the place where they began
working that they may be advised
where they can secure another place.
