ROUND CREST NEEDS
MORE HELP TO MAKE
TWO SHIFTS POSSIBLE

Altho the Round Crest Canning Co.
has been putting up an enormous
amount Of canned apples in compari-
son with other years. the situation has
come to a point where II is absolutely
necessary to get enough help to put
on another shift Of 125 women and rs
men in order that the company can fill
at least 80 per cent OF it's orders.
1t has plenty or apples and suf-
tcient plant capacity but help is
needed badly. The apples will abso.
lutely go to waste unless the help is
procured Immediately. II would be a
crime II. In this day when every pos
sible morsel Of food must be saved. to
have large quantities OF apples that
have actually been ordered 20 to waste
because OF insufficient help.
The Round Crest Canning company
is paying good wages. The lowest
wages paid the women is about $3.50.
Most of them make around $3.50. The
men make good money. The work will
continue for several months yet and
the working conditions are the best
possible. The work Is not hard.
II the apples are not canned It will
mean that not only will this food have
gone to waste at a time when Uncle
Sam needs II badly but IL will mean
that thousands OF dollars will not
come to this community which could
easily be brought here. II really
seems duty for those who can. to
take employment at this factory at
this time.

.225 STUDENTS HELPED
0RCHARDlSTS SAVE APPLES

The superintendent of schools OF
North Canon district has completed
the summary of the apple picking
campaign engaged in by our high
school students during October. t
This report shows that 225 students
reported as having worker. either in
the orchards or the canning factory.
The amount earned by the girls
was 1922; by the boys. $302s. making
a total OF 1880 earned during the two
weeks vacation. The reports from
employers 80 far MS obtainnble indi-
cate that they were well pleased with
the character of work done by the
students. The value to the commun-
ity Of this work was very great, IN
deed. as practically all the apples
picked by these students would have
been lost but for their timely assist
ance. The report. including the
names OF those who worked during
the vacation will be nled In the su-
perintendent's Office for reference in

II was announced that Florence
should contribute 1880 and volun-
