Show ESTABLISHED 1889 FORTY YEARS OF CONTINUOUS COMMUNITY SERVICE - ; ' ; . Vo1-40- . 7 Bingham Canyon, " Bingham Bulletin January 2, 1930 '. J , . . t N' 1 TRAFFIC TOLL GETS BIGQER DAILY Peole are wondering at the un-precedented wave of fatal and ser-rio-aeeident which have occurcd ip Salf Lake County during the last few months in which the aut-omobile has figured to a great ex-len- t. All efforts on the part of officers and traffic regulations in vogue in Utah have failed to aid In reducing the death rate in, the state, and Utah stands nearly fore-most in the number of fatalities resulting from traffic crashes. " There are stationed in . Bing-ham Canyon and in every other vicinity in Salt Lake County , off-icers who are making wholesale arrests of speeders and traffic vi-olators in an effort to curb tre-mendous accident toll. In the city courts and in the county precincts Judges are busy fining violators of the traffio regulations who are found guilty of infractions. In spite of the rigid attempt to enforce tha present laws there is btill no decrease in the accident rate and no improvement is being made to save human lives. Only the other day a death re-sulted in Magna from an acident in which the car. in question was travelling at a speed of less than ten miles per hour. This fact dein--nsirat- cs a conclusive proof that ii is not always the speed of the machine that is responsible for the killing of people. Judges have overs;ressed the 30 mile an hour law in an effort to do something to help the situation.. In the main nost courts have failed to tlake in-to consideration the efficiency of drivers, the condition of the cars in question and the conditions of the traffic in which offense has taken place. The-actua- interpre-tation of the 30 mile law and the enforcement of it in all instances will hurt rather than aid the att-empt to s. op acccidcnts.,,. States viih ten times the traffic of Utah have long since abqlisded laws limiting speed to thirty miles an hour in unrestricted distrcts. Utah is most certainly woefully behind in the traffic regulations and for this reason alone people are being kiled and maimed every day. Spasmodis enforcement of any law is not to the bests interests of n commonwealth. What we need is more uniform and definite sig-nals, rigid tests for all drivers and higher speeds. " Drivers driving at any rate of speed without efficient brakes on their vehicles should be prosecu-ted. Motorists comming onto art-erial highways without stopping pre dangerous menaces to public safety and should be made to pay penalties. Drivers making left hand turns without giving proper signals should be restricted for so doing and there should be a most severe penalty given to the drunk-H- i driver. All of these individuals are a menace to the traffic condi-tion ten times as great as the man who operates his car at a speed of from forty to fifty miles per hour on a road clear of traffic provid-ing his car and his breaks are in first-cla- ss working order. The other day a Judge in Salt Lake City fined a defendant for driving his automobile 31 miles per hour up Main street when the traffic was very light and the car was in first class meehanical con-dition. The same Judge imposed a fine of nearly the same amount en a defendant convicted of bur-glary, and attempted rape. This is one of the reasons why the state of Utah has difficulties in enfor-cing traffic laws and most certain ly a big stride in the wrong dir-ection toward helping the situat-ion. The thing we need is a consis-en- t set of regulations, Judges who are impartial and broad minded in their decisions and officials who establish a precedent that is com-mendable and enforce it at all times instead of a spasmodic eff-ort in which the officers, Prose-cuting attorneys and Judges lean over backward in an attempt to justify their own positions by a wave of publicity. PROMOTIONS ANNOUNCED S6mo changes and promotions have taken place in the personnel of the local officials of the Utah Copper Co., effective January 1st Mr. Roy Schilling has been made Second Assistant Supt, , of the Mine; Mr. Harvey Canity, who ha3 been Safety Engineer will be Track Foreman ; Mr. II. P.. McDcrmott, assistant Safety Engineer will now take the place of Safety Engineer formerly held by Mr. Carrity. ...... . . THE SPIRIT OF The greatest gift of all is the privilege which Christmas af-fords na of helping to inuke oth-ers happy. In celebrating this day for 1929 this fact was not overlooked by the civic and frat-crna-bodies of Bingham. Gifts and good cheer Wass dispensed in a substantial and wholehearted manner to those to whom fortune l.as not dealt so kiudly. Food, clothing and Joys were distribut-ed to everyone m need, so far s the committee in charge could as- - certain. , This was made possible through the financial assistance, help and of the Stray Antlers '.Assn., Kiwanis Club, American Legion, Legion Auxilliary, Civic Club nnt the Ridipf Korictv. The committee in charge were Mr. Samuel Dunsmore, Mrs. C. L--. Countryman and Mra T. A.. Mas-ters, Mr. Jos. A. Norflen Supt. of lTtnh-Ape- x supplied the Commit-tee with a truck for making de-liveries of supplies and Mr. John Evans of the Highlantl Boy Mere, furnished delivery set-vic- for the Committee in that district. As a result, many: were made happy and this is the Spirit of Ohris'.mas. - - ; ABLETT NEW MANAGER Mr. II. A: Ablett has been ap-pointed manager of the R C.

All business was sus-pended and stores of Bingham closed .their doors from noon un til 2;!X) p. in. during )he time of the funeral, 6ut of respect for thV dead, officer. " A large number or friends attended the funeral arid burial which took place at ,Mur-re- City Cemetery.

Sihetiler, ' Ralph Hansen, J. L. Bwing, J. R. W. 11. Ilcndrickson. "Smiling Si" Jones, as he was f;!!!iilliftrly known, was born at Bulltrvillc, May 4th 1878, where ho resided with his parents, Silas nnd Mary Jones until he came to Bingham Canyon in 1398 to en-gage in mining. ' .' Mri' Jones came into "prominenc-e- here when he joined the of !'icers in the manhunt for the des perate murderer, Lopez. His cool flaring atracted the attention of ihe' Mayor and Town Board and he was appointed Chief of Police to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Chief of Police, Billie re nt, who was killed while pur-I'iuin- g Lopez. He has served as a peace officer either s deputy sheriff or city policeman ever since. He was Deputy Sheriff un-de- r Sheriff Clifford 'Patten 'at the time of his' death. "31" Jones, .was a typical Wts ern officer, possessing, that quiet, calm, deliberate demeanor and coolness so characteristic of the earlyday officer of the west. With few words he proceeded to administer the affairs of his of-fice and whether his task was serving petty, summons in a civil yuit or capturing the most' , des-perate criminal, his composed reinuiued the same.

THE TOWN DOCTOR " J "' , Regardless of what I think, of your opinion, there is indisputable proof that no in-dividual, business, industry or community ever got any place do-ing the same old thing; in the same old way. We are all humans, subject to our own peculiarities. We object' to change, and most of us detest preaching and dislike being told; yet every one of ius wishes to be iealhy, wealthy and wise. We all get in a rut more or less, and true it is that the only difference between "a rut and the grave is the depth ; and the longer we stay in a rut the deeper it gets. How I readily we discard uhe old and ac-cept the proven new depends on how deep we have sunk. Great educators have said that the most difficult undertaking y is to get the people to think one goes so far as to say that of every one hundred per-sons, two of them do all the think-ing for the other 98. Maybe that is riifht but, I maintain that you f that you know nolihihg about the only way to know about any-thing is to think aboiit it. A cow in a pasture gazes at a speeding ..rail road train, but does not real-ly see it ; the alarm clock rings in the morning, but. the house cat goes on sleeping j a "crawfish feels nnd a billy goat smells, but be-cause they never think about it, it doesn't meaa anything. If you could ask them they'd tell you that they did wot se why they yhould be any different. If you have never got down to brass tacks and tried to think out where, you'd. gctanj'ilung put of taking an active part in com-munity affairs, you don 't know whether or not there is anything in it for you. If you have never offered to do anything along Avith other fellows, you ' don't know whether you'd even get a kick out of it. The oidy way to find out is to try. You don't have to be one of the big toads in the puddle in order to do something. It isn't always money, that counts, nor are days of time away from work neces-sary. The big thing is to get right mentally. Think aliout your town as a business your busi-ness. Don't holler about it, just think ahout it as you go along doing whatever you do to make a living. .... .. The .fellow who never-trie- s never knows; and he is the fellow who misses the real fun and the good things of life. and 1 will do our share if we are shown and given a reason why we should think, especially about that which affects our fun and our pocket books. ; - In sixteen years experience I ha ve iiund - that y oiv are always, willing to listen; and although you do not always act, I lay that to the fact that you have notf been given the proper incentive. It is my further belief that you are Ma-iling to think about your town and willing to do something for for your town if you are given good and sufficient' proof that do-ing either or both will put money in your pocket. You and I all of us have been told by civic groups and through the columns of the papers we read,, hundreds of times, that we should do this, and we should not do something else, all for the vague reason that its good for :Jie community. But if I know you and know my own reactions to such, you are not "sold", on the idea that its to your particular advantage always to practice what ,hey preach. " You cannot be sold on anything! . CLUB DANCE "7 ''' ; .. ' ...i . ' . Out with the old and in with he new. Centering around thr ng New Years Eve dance held at she Ciciuinell Memorial Club Tues lay evening. Bingham welcomed he arrival of the new year in much joyous merryment. Bells, whistles horns and shouts of joy filled the air as the new year wat acclaimed. 3ASKETBALL AT , . BINGHAM HIGH ,''-.- ;, "Coach Tommie McMullen'f boys engaged in a half dozen oi more pre-seas- games during the holidays and' came through vic-torious in each encounter.' 'The cgulur iskedule will start mi Jan iQth when Bingham will go to Tooele for what is expected to be real iiisscX The first game to he held here will late place Jan. 17. Cyprus will meet Bingham High on this date. From the results of " the pre-season games and the goneral ap-pearance of the floor work of the locals, the prospects for a succes-fu-l year for the Bingham hoop-ster- s was never be'Her. Perhaps one of the hardest jobs will be selecting the first line quint. Heretofore it has been nec-essary to use all available material to make up the team but there are some twenty or more boys at the Bingham High this year that look like mighty good material for the team. Janet Higgs, 9, duirhter of Mr. 'in Mrs. Horace II. Higgs of Bing-ham has again won honors by tak-r- g third place in the New Ideor ?ontest being conducted by the fait Lake Tribune Junior. Little Janet won first place in 'he last contest previous to this me and to be a two time winner against so large a field of com-petitors is indeed an honor. f Start with a Clean Slate (Sis yf' ' "'' (Copyright.
