A day of iJ amusement, and 'crammed with outer tainment for the entire family, has been planned by the Bingham Volun-teer firemen.

JORDAN DISTRICT LETS CONTRACT FORJUILDINGS A contract for construction of two duplex four-roo- m homes at Copperton was let by Jordan school district board of educa-tion Thursday to J. H. Angel. The homes will cost $17,215 and will be ready for occupancy in October. The structures will be built on the west side of the Copper-to- n apartment and are intended for occupancy of Copperton teachers and their families. . Plans for the homes were pre-pared by Ashton and Evans, Salt Lake architects, who will super-vise construction. Ground will be broken immediately and the con-tract allows 110 days for the homes' erection.- - Housing of teachers has been a problem as the only building available for them at Copperton is an apartment house in three-roo- m units. These have been found inadequate for teachers with families. According to Dr. Paul S. Rich-ards, president of Jordan school district board of education, the district buc'get next year will be set-u- p at a little over $500,000. The levy for next year has not been determined. - I FOURTH PLACE ,,,mfll made an inauspicious Tuesday in their first night ,1 calt Lake's Community loosing 12-- 0 to Pinney The Lakers did some heavy Earl Owen and Harry ' in Darticular. ,' the most part Frank Shep-Pinne- y pitcher, was giv-ijo- d support.

PEDESTRIAN LANES N0WPR0VIDED Last year three of every five persons killed in traffic acci-dents in American cities were pedestrians. The National Safety council calls the pedestrian the "forgotten man and the prob-lem child of traffic." In Bingham Canyon a common sense solution to the problem of crossing a long, winding Main street is to be given trial. In the future pedestrians will have as much responsibility in obodience to the traffic rules as motorists. But at the same time, if the new plan succeeds, the pedestrian will receive more attention and bet-ter protection than he has for-merly. Thirteen newly-designate- d and freshly-marke- d pedestrian lanes have been painted at different points on Main street. Lanes have been marked at Main street and Carr Fork, two at Main street near the Carr Fork corner, No. 1 Fire hall, Bingham hospital, Bingham post office, two at Main and Markham, L. D. S. church, Main and Freeman, two at play-ground, one at end of sidewalk on lower Main. Traffic officers hope to have public cooperation in establishing use of these lanes. Motorists are expected to give pedestrians us-ing lanes the right-of-wa- y, and it is hoped parents will instruct children to cross Main street at the lanes designated. Jaywalkers cannot be perse-cuted as they are in cities divided regularly into blocks, but com-mon sense should educate pedes-trians to use protection wherever it is provided. FIREMEN PLEASED BY PERFORMANCE OF NEWEST TRUCK Results of a test run made Tuesday night convinced Bing-ham Volunteer firemen that the recently purchased fire truck has doubled efficiency of city fire equipment. On return of Firemen Ross Marriott and Art Sorenson from Chicago they reported the new truck in a 10 consecutive hour running test pumped 674 gallons of water per minute with three-quart- er throttle. In tests Tuesday night at the upper end of Main street the truck pumped 500 gallons per minute with 150 pound pressure from the hydrant pump. Using water from the sewer at' lower Main, the truck pumped water at 120 pound pressure. The city now owns an Ameri-can LaFrance truck with 650 gallon pumping engine and 100 gallon booster tank and the new International with. - 500. .gallon. .. . capacity champion pump and 100 gallon booster tank. The third truck in service is used to carry equipment. Wednesday three trucks were rushed to a house at the rear of 93 Carr Fork in answer to an alarm. A roof fire resulted in $5 damage. r Studies In Chicago Art Peterson, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. A.
