It will be observed in Bingham Canyon by the city and No. 1 and No. 2 fire departments. A special window display will be set up in a window to be an-- ( nouneed next week. Fire losses are constantly on the increase throughout the na-- j tion. The amount of increase ov-er the nation for this year was 7 l!2 per cent higher than the previous year. Because of the excellent work that has been done in Utah on fire prevention, we have Been spared some of the losses that we might have had. Actually, the fire losses in Utah have been less during the last year than during the previous year. We hope that part of this is due to the fire prevention pro-gram that has been conducted in this state. It is urgently requested that all elementary and secondary schools in Utah actively support thus movement.

O BEAUTIFICATION MEET TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 2 A state-wid- e conference of more than 1,000 active members of Centennial Beautification com-- ; mittees in 127 communities of the state, will be held for a full day in Salt Lake City Novem-ber 2, Donald P. Lloyd, chair-man of the beautification divis-ion of the Centennial commis- - sion has announced- The confer-- j ence will be held at Hotel Utah. The conference will be held to provide a forum for an exchange of ideas, to develop present pro-- grams, to plan for a fall and win-ter campaign, and to launch a final all-o- effort to prepare and beautify the state for the Cen-tennial observance. "In rural communities particu-larly", Mr. Lloyd declared, "the heavy work of the year is over, and there will be more time for beautification and improvement on farms, homes and ranches. Experts will be prepared to dis-pute the popular theory that such beautification can be accomplish-ed only in summer. A full fall, winter and early spring campaign is in the making." In addition to instructions, special emphasis will be placed on a long-rang- e home, farm and civic program of improvements of a permanent nature. Informa-tion on how to carry out present and future projects during the winter will be presented by ex-perts in separate fields in divis-ional meetings held in connec-tion with the conference. All meetings will be concluded in one day in an interesting, edu-cation-and entertaining stream-lined program All members are invited to attend. o Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The high school won anoth-er one, nosing out Spanish Fork 7 to 6. Jack Knudsen's kick was the difference. Sandy has his starting lineup about set. His line is going to be his pro-blem this year. What he has isn't too large, and plenty thin in reserves. But I have said this every year, and in the end Sandy has turned out a winner. They play Park City today (Friday). Don't know what Park has back but Sandy is using these games to try out his material. The-- National league race looks like it will go right down to the last day. The strain on these two teams must be terrific. In the American league the interest now is all centered on, can Feller break the strike out record. The Iowa farm boy is having a tough time winning, but he is pitching great ball. Lost his last one to the White Sox, and he only al- - lowed four hits and struck out 10 men bringing his total to 337. He needs seven more to break the record of 343 set by the great Rube Waddle. His manager said he will pitch in the last three uames to uive him his ch.-inee-. Every one seems to have come to the conclusion that Ted Wil-liams is just another good ball player, but Ted Williams. His own opinion must be that he is the greatest that ever lived. I see he failed to attend the din-ner given by Mr. Yakne when his Boston club clinched the pen-- 1 ant. It is no secret that Ted does-n't associate with any of his teammates and the rumors are that he has shown fits of temper, because little Johnny Pesky, the shortstop is in the running for the batting championship. Calls him a cream-puf- f hitter. I think Ted should look at the line ups of a few years back, and just be thankful that he didn't come up till later, because in my estima-- ; tion had he been playing in the days of Ruth and Gehrig of the Yankees, Fox and Simmons of the Athletics, Hornsbory of the Cards and Terry of the Giants, he would have been known as just another good hitter. It doesn't seem to me, to be such a hard thing for him to do, if he just looks hack he will find that there has never been a player bigger than the game itself. Great and I do mean great men have gone before him and their will be great ones after him- So the best thing for Ted to do is take stock and go back to those frol-- ! icking days, and be the great kid he was, when he first came up. So much for the sermon. Fire destroyed the stands at Derks field Wednesday night, leaving Salt Lake without a ball park. As bad as the city has needed a new park it is too bad that it came at this time, because with the shortage of materials and labor, they will be hard put to have one ready by next spring and 1947 is Centennial year. It is hoped though when they do put one up that it will be a struc- - ture worthy of the greatest ball town in the minor leagues. The Seagulls, Salt Lake's pro entry in football, travels to Sac-ramento this Sunday and Joe Churich from Bingham will be in the lineup. Joe has met the competition of college and pro stars, and although he never had college football he has more than held his own and at this writing looks like a starter. Bowling season opened at the club Wednesday night with four strong teams in the majors. Gem-mell took 3 points from the and BDAA won three of their four from Princess theatre. The ladies held their meeting and decided on Friday nights. They will have an informal get together tonight (Frida'-- ) and instructions will be given to all those that want them. All ladies are invited to attend. Remember BDAA ladies are welcome. See you next week, AL. O CITY COUNCIL 'ay lull for last half of Sep-tember amounting to $773 23 was approved for payment by council members at their Wed-nesday evening meeting. A report on the water analy-sis taken from Middle Canyon and Dry Fork was recently re-ceived from the state health de-partment and reported satisfac-tory. American Legion and Vet-erans of Foreign Wars accepted terms of lease and council mem-- j bers approved the agreement Wednesday evening. Council members approved living quar-- ; ters be made available for chief of No. 2 fire company at No. 2 fire hall. BJ).A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Ho Boy! The feets ball game last week was plenty good, don't you theenk'.' Spanish Fork is score right away, and make sixa points too soon. But don' you be-lieve it, Bingham is surprise lit-tle but and cat like is ver' mad to these Spanish muchacho's. In just ver few minutes dissa lil' Bingham keed run fast like is purty scare and make everybody even. Then, from good keek from whatta you call it, educashen toes. Bingham is win and sure hope is beat up everybody dissa year. , Seriously, it was a very good ball game for early season. Span-is- h Fork should go places this year, with a good backfield and some husky lads all through the line-u- Bingham is cap&Ble of playing much better ball, and as the regular season gets underway should improve in all depart-ments- The boys look especially weak at blocking but should get a lot better as they round into condition. Every BDAA member was well pleated with the boys and enjoyed the game to its utmost. Good to see so many out. Don't forget, you BDAA'ers, all local high school entertain-ment, except school dances and commencement will be free of charge to you. As tasty a menu as you could ask for: football, basketball, baseball, plays, op-eras and some other activities thrown in. You can't afford to miss 'em. Bowling Banter Pins in front of you, pins all around and back of you and that thrill as the old nugget hits true for another "strike '. Everybody was very much excited as the Gemmell Majors swung into ac-- ; tion Wednesday night. Bingham Merchants led by Paul Slotte eked out a 3 to 1 win over Prin-cess theatre. Gemmell club scor-ed so many pins in their first game against BDAA that they breezed to an easy 3-- 1 victory. Al Ablett had his new ball do-ing everything but setting the pins back up as he shook the maples loose for a 256 game. The women's team at the Ritz bowled like big time to win all four points from Beauty Salon Tuesday. The men at Southeast split 2-- 2 with Sheffield Market to hold their wins and losses to 8 and 4 respectively. Looks like Lark and Bingham Merchants will battle it out for the softball championship. The BDAA softball league enjoyed a good season and some first class ball was played. So long, don't fail to attend the fine entertainment coming. v U.S. STEEL OFFICIALS TOUR COPPER MINE The huge open pit mine of the Utah Copper company at Bing-ham was visited Saturday by di-rectors and officials of the Unit-ed States Steel Corp.
