If no such docu- ment is available, we ask them if they can provide US with the affi- davit of the clergyman or official who performed the marriage cere- mony. If, however, they are unable to get any such records of affidav- it's, we take whatever evidence they may be able to submit, and in many cases this will be accepted as proof of their marriage"
 Monthly insurance payments are provided for widows under two diff ferent situations. First, if the work CT leaves young children in her care, the widow receives insurance payments until the youngest child is 16, or Is if in school. and each child is also entitled to benefits Second, the widow of qualified worker generally is entitled to monthly payments for life after she reaches 65 provided she has not re- married. A widows benefit will amount to three-fourths of her hus- bands benefit rate at the time of his death and each child, within the age limit, receives one-half of that rate, so long as the total bene- fits of children and mother do not amount to more than twice the amount that would have been paid to the father.

JUNGLE DRAMA OPENS TONIGHT
 hS LOCAL HIT
Five Came Back" Sehed uled on Screen of
 Capitol

One of the most unusual pictures in years is Five Came Back" a new dramatic offering. which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, with an all-star cast headed by Chester Morris, Lucille Ball and Wendy Barrie.
 The film deals with the plight of a group of airplane travellers forced down in a tropical jungle While head-hunting natives threaten to wipe out the whole party, romance and adventure and jealousy and heroism flourish among them, as the two pilots labor to reair the craft and fly it out to civilization And when the survivors are ready to gc, they discover that the crippled plane can carry only five of them the others must stay behind and face certain death!
 Around this stark situat ton the films cas tand technical staff have woven a brilliantly developed piece of screen flare, grim. colorful, real istic, tender and memorable. Two romances, the moral disintegration of two of the party under the strain outstanding sacrifices from others who in normal circumstances, would be considered public enemies, and a striking climax when a man un- der sentence of death is appointed the final judge to select the five members who shall be allowed to live, all comprise unforgettable fea- lures of the picture.

PRODUCTION FIRST
FOR UNCLE SAM
(NeVada State JOurnaD

Industrial leaders are beginning to
wonder if there is real reason for all OF
the proposed plant expansions along with
the maintenance of the short work week.
They think many of these expansions
would be unnecessary with a longer week
and that it will be impossible to main
tain price controls unless controls are
kept on wage costs, which is not now the
case. That is one of the tasks that con-
fronts the new defense high command
and the country hopes that 1t Will meet
the situation as it finds it and pull no
punches for employers or employees.
One defense project is cited in which
Saturday and Sunday overtime pay was
guaranteed and there were plenty of ap-
plicants for the Jobs. At another project
the contract did not provide for overtime
and as a result there was difficulty in
obtaining enough workers.
This is significant in view of Secretary
StimSOn'S current admission that labor
troubles are playing a part in deferring
the call to troops for training. Some
projects, which are necessary before mo-
bilization, are as much as two months
behind schedule.
No country has endured in this world
crisis that did not find means to speed
up the productivity of individual work
ers. All those still holding out against
the totalitarian sweep have turned to
maximum individual production as their
salvation. And many citizens have mis-
givings about how far the United States
will get travelling the road of short hours.
When a plant is operating 40 hours and
idle 1913 out Of every week of 168 hours
there is criminal negligence somewhere,
or the crisis is one of the imagination,
yet the owners of some of the plants that
are idle three times as long each week as
they are operating are endeavoring to
secure federal backing for plant enlarge
ments. The time and money put into
plant expansion takes that much out of
defense production.

TWO MAJOR JOBS THAT
MUST BE UNDERTAKEN

With refundlng virtually accomplished,
we now must set our sights on two more
goals-adequate drainage for every inch
of land in the valley, and opening of the
Eastside Mesa lands to agriculture.
Drainage goes hand in hand with re-
funding. The refunding plan, in fact,
makes provision for the first of the val
ley's drainage funds The district in abid-
ing by the plan will continue public
drainage work, which might be likened
to framework for the system that must
eventually cover the valley On that
framework should be strung individual
drainage projects-each farmer cooper
ating with the community as a whole to
see that all land is removed from the
danger of waterlogging.
The refunding plan, however, sets up
only small percentage of the money
which will be needed before the valley
eventually has complete drainage sys-
tenn How the rest of that system shall
be built is another problem we must face.
The second item-opening of the East
side Mesa lands-will when accomplish
ed, make the valley truly the greatest
agricultural empire in the world. 1t will
bring in new families new money. new
prosperity. 1t will boost the population
of this county immeasurably, and with
the boost will come all the benefits at
tached to such an increase.
1t is time to begin working full speed
ahead on efforts to open up the Eastside
Mesa, for water will be available there
as soon, now, as the land can be pre-
