An Independent Newspaper BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1955 OMoit W.eklY In Salt Lake County TELEPHONE 91 BHS MINERS TRAVEL TO JUDGE MEMORIAL TONITE Tonight, Friday, the Bingham High Miners meet the Judge Memorial Bulldogs at Judge. Plan to attend. A home game Tuesday night, March 8 against Dugway will end league play for the Miners.

EASTER SEAL DRIVE TO OPEN MARCH 10TH The Easter Seal campaign op-ening March 10 is backed by some hard figures from the Utah Society for Crippled Children and Adults. Last year the Society gave direct services to Utah's crippled children and among these ser-vices were: 3724 physical ther-apy treatments, 3021 occupation-al therapy treatments, 41200 speech and hearing correction treatments, 3128 crippled child-ren --eceived recreational ther-apy. The Society maintained a bus which brought the children to 120 classes in special educa-tion and a station wagon that brought crippled children to 104 pre-scho- ol classes. Kenneth H. Roth, the execu-tive director of the Utah Society for Crippled Children, pointed out that this was no"t all, for the Society provided braces, crutch-es, wheel chairs and other essen-tial equipment necessary for the rehabilitation of these children and the Society found employ-ment for 74 handicapped per-sons. Not one penny was charged for any of these services. Where did the money come from to carry on this most vital work? It came from your contribution to the Easter Seal campaign. This year the number of request; for treatment is bound to grow. More money is needed. Mr. Roth said that the 1955 Easter Seal campaign is a step in the direction of giving all our youth hope. It isn't enough, said Mr. Roth, to help a crippled child across the street, what he wants is a chance to learn to help him-self, and, when you give to the Easier Seal campaign, you are I giving him that chance. ICY HIGHWAY BLAMED FOR SERIES OFACCIDENTS One motorist was injured and seven cars and two wreckers damaged in two chain reaction accidents in Salt Lake County last Thursday night. In fair con-dition at St. Mark's hospital was Victor D. Johnston, 53, of Bing-ham, driver of one of the wreck-ers. Mr. Johnston was standing by the wrecker called to a pre-vious two car collision when struck by a car driven by Nor-man Robertson of Coppcrfield. ' The accident occurred 600 feet from the Welby tracks on the Bingham highway at about 12:49 a.m. last Friday morning. Earlier Thursday night, two vehicles were totally demolished in a four-ca- r and wrecker col-lision about three-fourt- of a mile east of Copperton on Bing-ham highway. Five persons es-caped injury in the accident. The first chain reaction crash started when Paul LaBounty's car was forced into a snowbank by another automobile which went out of control when it hit an icy spot on the highway. As a wrecker from a Bingham gar-age was attempting to pull his car frte, an auto driven by Jay H. Bryant, 17, Bingham, struck the icy spot an J went out of con-trol crashing into the wrecker and the LaBounty vehicle. Wes-ley Longfellow, driver of the wrecker managed to jump to safety. Minutes later two other auto-mobiles were forced into the snowbank to avoid hitting the wreckage. An icy highway was blamed for the accident series.

This will be the next to last game on the slate, and the eleventh league fray. The locals have won five games and lost four and figure to add another victory tonight. Last Friday the Miners down-ed the Grantsville Cowboys in a hot scoring affair 80 to 47. Big Jack Mannion, top prep scorer in the state, led the hot shooting Bingham crew with 37 points. Jack, with his second best out-put of the year, (had 38 against Murray just 10 days before) was held to 3 points in the first per-iod, 13 for the first half, and then with some fine aid from his teammates, plunked through 24 points in the second half. Arri-tol- a came up with a very good performance, and several of Coach Wankier's reserves looked good. Play Dugway Here Tuesday The final league game will be played at Bingham Tuesday, March 8, against the new school, Dugway. The latter squad, in it's first year of play, has been beaten quite badly in all of it's games, but the youngsters certainly de-serve a lot of credit for their per-severance and fight against the much more experienced schools.

O Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt Layne lost to Baker last Mo-nday night but he did a lot better than most of the experts expect-ed. I thought that Rex looked real good in the early rounds. He was beating Baker to the punch most of the time with a pretty fair left jab and scoring fairly well with an overhand right, but as the fight wore on he seemed to lose the left all together and of course he couldn't possibly win with just one hand. It just doesn't seem possible for Layne to learn to punch in combina-tions. .He is striotly a one hand-ed hitter. From the fifth round on Baker was finding the range with combinations both to the body and head, and he had Layne in trouble on a number of occas-ions but just couldn't put over the finisher. They returned home Wednes-day night, meaning Jenson and Rex and Manager Jenson seemed a little down in the dumps, but not Layne. He said it was just one of those nights when he just couldn't get going. Jenson didn't say anything about a e fight for the heavyweight but he did say that Gene Full-mer would fight in Salt Lake on the 23rd of this month. His opponent hasn't been picked as yet but said he would be a good one. It has been rumored that it would be the winner of the Vejar-Graha- m fight to be held in the Garden this Friday. With-out TV I don't see how this will be possible. We just don't have a house big enough. At least that will be the excuse the New York boys will use. Well baseball has arrived at last. The big boys have gone into spring training and again we will be hearing about the new Babe Ruths and Bob Fellers. Florida has 13 of the teams but again Arizona has come up with the cream of the crop with the world champion Giants and the Amer-ican League winners, the Cleve-land Indians, also the Cubs. The Giants went into action at Phoe-nix and Cleveland at Tucson with the Cubs at Mesa. Leo Dur-och- er has a stand pat lub with ithe exception of pitching. He jwilj be looking hard for another good one to go along with his top four of Magile, Antonelli, Gomez-an- Liddle. The best part of the situation as I see it, is that he may have the man right on his squad now in big Jim Hearn. There isn't anything wrong "with the big fellow physically, he just couldn't seem to get going last year, so if they can find the trouble he will be the man. Cleveland has added some (Continued on page four) - MINERETTE CLUB Theme of the Minerette drill presented February 25 at the Bingham-Grantsvil- le game, was "Music Maestro Please." It was composed by the members of the club from Bingham. "Music Maestro Please", on a music scale sign carried by Car-m- a Ray, introduced the drill with Colleen Bell, who was dressed as a majorette; Jan Ste-wart, who carried a drum; and Ward Scroggin, who carried a violin. Formation of a drum and a violin carried out the theme. Towards the middle of the drill, the girls formed a triangle, a square, and a circle. Then along with the small children, a piece of rhythm work was done using the sounds of the two instru-ments. Each girl wore a small crown with a music staff and glittered note on it, and a small black! note on each glove. The drill was directed by Carma Ray and Kathy Zampos. o LADIES BOWLING Marion Johnson copped both the high series and high game honors in the weekly session of the Gemmell Club Ladies bowl-ing league Tuesday night.
