Parowan and Paragonah Drive to Meet War Bond Quota
Parowan and Paragonah residents push War Bond and Stamp sales against a $5,000 quota with a special Alladin Theatre showing of Lily Mars to boost purchases. Post office reports show $1,708 in bonds and stamps sold so far, leaving a deficit ahead of Tuesday night. A featured War Bond show at Alladin aims to lift totals and many will buy a $100 bond per person, with a matinee for students under 14 and a reminder to bring post office receipts for entry.

Parowan City Council and Paragonah Town Board agreed at a special meeting to a two cent per kilowatt hour power sales contract for one year. Parowan will install a new metering station at the East end of First South Street, replacing the old arrangement where Paragonah handled meters and rents.
