I am trying to integrate Iced into my programming. I have written all the applicable piece parts including the view function. In the view function I have a column widget that contains 3 widgets, 2 buttons and 1 text. I have a called function (get_button_widget) that returns the button widget but have run into an error. The IDE is telling me that the text I am passing in is borrowed and as a result the IDE indicates that the container element I am returning from the view function cannot return a value referencing a temporary value. I think my misunderstanding is in one of two areas. 1) How to pass a variable as a reference to a function when Iced is involved or 2) The proper return type from the button function.
Any input will be appreciated. Below is the view function, the get_button_widget function and the get_text_widget function (called from the get_button_widget function).

    fn view(&self) -> iced::Element<'_, Message> {
        let label_size: f32 = 40.0;
        let count_size: f32 = 50.0;
        let plus_sign: String = "+".to_string();
        let minus_sign: String = "-".to_string();

        let column = widget::column![
            get_button_widget(&plus_sign, label_size, Message::Increment),
            // error - plus sign is borrowed here

            widget::text(self.value.to_string()).size(count_size), 
            get_button_widget(&minus_sign, label_size, Message::Decrement),
            // error - minus sign is borrowed here

        ].align_x(Horizontal::Center);

        let mycontainer: Container<'_, Message, Theme, Renderer> =
            widget::container(column)
                .align_x(Horizontal::Center)
                .align_y(Vertical::Center)
                .width(Length::Fill)
                .height(Length::Fill)
                .style(container_style)
                ;
        mycontainer.into()
        // error - cannot return value referencing a temporary value
        // error - returns a value referencing data owned by the current function

    }

pub fn get_button_widget(label: &String, label_size: f32, on_press: Message) -> iced::widget::Button<'_, Message> {
        button(get_text_widget(label, label_size))
        .on_press(on_press) 
        .style(button_style)
        .width(80)
        .height(80)
}

pub fn get_text_widget(value: &String, size: f32) -> iced::widget::Text<'_> {
     text(value).size(size).align_x(Horizontal::Center).align_y(Vertical::Center)
}
