One of the entertainments at the firemen's annual rabbit shoot was the ambitious rodeo stunt of Jack "Hoot" Householder. Like the circus artist he "flew through the air" and with becoming ease mounted a San-pete pony via the difficult hind-quarters ascent The pony's youthful owner was already' in the saddle, and maybe the pony Had not been trained to carrying a double load, because as soon as "Hoot" landed the pony put on some fancy acro-batics of his own and hurled Jack off in the same direction from which he came. In Just no time at all "Hoot" was sitting on the ground, acting as an arm chair for the pony's owner. Ha! "Hoot" House-hld- er rides the rangel Note: Deputy Sheriff Household-er is seen daily with the stellar team Householder 4t Householder m "Triumphs of The Law". William Tell Faddls. As pretty a shooting act as seen outside vaudeville was the exhibi-tion by the Marriott Faddis team. Ross threw his hat In the air and Vern stood ten feet distant shoot-ing wildly. It takes skill to miss a target at that distance. These Hunts Are Fine-O-nly thing about a rabbit shoot is that when you are at the fin'sh and all in the same corner of one small field there is an uncomfort-able lot of buckshot flying in what seems like a cramped space. For a few minutes Sunday I thought about Spain the first time since Thursday night, when the paper is coming off the press it always reminds me of the number of revolutions and the accompanying noise of the civil war in Spain. o PUNCHING THE BAG BY AL. ABLETT The People of Bingham are go-ing to be football conscious in the next few years. I saw Coach Santis-tevan'- s high school team in action the last game of the season. And for a team composed for the most part of sophomores, they were clicking in a manner pleasing to a coach. When this fine coach starts to take his team places, don't say we didn't tell youl The Gemmell club basketball team ha started to practice under their new coach, "Sonny" AUopy, and boy, were we lucky to grab a man with as much knowledge of the game a this fellow Alsopp has. The team swears by him and that la half the battle. That lucky business goea for the hljh school, too. My bet Is that Bingham will again be heard from In basketball circles. The Gemmell club bowling league enjoyed one of it's greatest sessions Tuesday night. Every team turned in some great scores. The high light of the evening was the Bingham team's 2731 series. Copperfield, de-- . fending champions threw a 982 game at the Gemmell team, which was about 200 pins too many. Pete Yano averaged 207 per game for a 621 series but he was hard pressed by Harold Leatherwood, who had 204 plus average for a 614 series. Both of these young men are former Junior champions of the state, if they keep this gait up they will be close to the top in the sen-ior division. Howard Kelly had high game of the' season Tuesday with 255 game. That is bitting them In any league. Howard or "Stretch" as he Is known to the boys, has been bowling but a short time, and this Is his first year In league compe-tition. He has a fine delivery, so it wont be long before he will be up near the top In averages. Midge Jensen and Anna Steele have been turnilng In some fine games lately. It won't be long until these two young ladies will be rank-ed with the top feminine bowlers of the state. Another Bingham Boy who has made good In his chosen profes-io-n Is John Vranes, Jordan high school football coach. When the Jordan team plays Boxelder for . the state championship, this writ-er will be pulling for Vranes' team to win. Here Is a fellow every young boy In Bingham could take for a model, a boy who tooK advantage of every opportunity, worked hard and played hard, at all times fairly. This Thanksgiving I am thankful I am alive. I probably wouldn't be if I had taken this copy to the edi-tor personally. But I took no chanc-es, I mailed it in. See you next week! O Power Company Furnishes Free Xmas Lighting The Utah Power and Light com-pany will do Its part in radiating Yuletide cheer 'again this holiday season by furnishing free electric current for festoon, stringer, and display lighting in commercial dis-tricts of all the communities it serv-es in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, it was announced Monday by G.

' FOOTBALL TEAM SEEKS TITLE GAME BINGHAM The Bingham junior high school football eleven has en-joyed a successful season, and from this group Coach Bailey Santiste-va- n has uncovered some good ma-terial for the senior team next year.

Mine Strikers Are Still Deadlocked Those who had hoped to see the metal mines workers of Bingham, Lark and Park City return to work Thanksgiving week were dissap-pointe- d by continued deadlock of negotiations. Arbitration of differ-ences seemed to gain no apparent headway. Park City workers tabled the offer of operators to resume work with no discrimination for un-ion activity or strike participation and with higher wages because the offer contained "no union recogni-tion". Request to county commissioners for relief for smelter workers of Midvale was granted. Officials said food would be distributed soon to the most needy families first, fol-lowed by other food, clothing and fuel distributions later. These workers are not on strike, but have 'been out of work since the ore supplied by the Bingham and Lark mines ran out o-- Young Matron Passed Away Thursday A. M.
