The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a cam-paign which starts in Salt Lake county Monday, March 22 and continues through March 26th. The city council approved a plan whereby city employees will conduct the program with bait available for other parties interested. F. S. Zimmerman of the Department of Wild Life will be in Bingham on dates to be decided and assist in the pro-gram. O FIRE DEPARTMENT ASKS FOR COOPER-ATI0N0- F PUBLIC All persons, other than mem-bers of the fire department, are requested to refrain from using the telephone when an alarm of fire is turned in. Much valuable time has been lost at the last two alarms by so many calls to ascertain the location of fire by persons, motivated by curiosity only. At certain times of the day there is only one operator on ' duty and it is impossible to give the firemen the proper service if unnecessary calls are made. Chief John J. Creedon points nut, "Th firct four minntps urn the important ones at a fire ani many times a conflagration may occur by delayed alarms. If the general public would wait even five minutes before calling in, it would be of great help to us". He further stated, "With the re-cently acquired resusitator plac-ed in service by the fire depart-ment, these precious minutes saved may save a life." There are still some motorists that do not heed the siren when the trucks are going to a fire and in the future if these drivers cbntinue to block emergency ve-hicles, such as iho fire truck, police car and ambulance, they are to be prosecuted, according to Chief of Police Max Ewing. O STANDARD OIL TO DISTRIBUTE FACSIMILE OF BILL OF RIGHTS Coincident with the visit of the Freedom Train, Standard of California will distribute free facsimiles of the Bill of Rights through Standard Stations, Inc., and Chevron dealers in the Bing-ham area. The original script of the his-torical document is carried on the face of the reproduction, with the text reprinted in mod-ern type on the reverse. Dimen-sions are 17 V4 by 23 M inches. Standard is giving away more than 1,000,000 of the facsimiles in the seven western states. Dis-tribution starts here on March 21 and will continue until supplies are exhausted. o LIONS CLUB HEAR TALKS ON BLUE CROSS PLAN Regular meeting of Bingham Canyon Lions club was held Wednesday evening. March 17 at Bingham club. The program was in charge of Elmo A. Nelson and consisted of talks on Blue Cross hospitalization plan by Mr. Pat-terson and Mr. Ellison of Blue Cross headquarters in Salt Lake City.-- " Several accordion duets rendered by Phyllis and Phil Sanderson were also enjoyed. Thirty six members and guests were present. A St. Patrick's day theme was used in table decora-tions. Lion President C. A. Morley and Bob Jimas distributed the first copies of the Bingham Lions club monthly bulletin "Bingham Lions Roar". This sheet is de-signed to detail the doings of the club and its members each month. Also present at the meeting was Almon Butterfield, chair-man of Zone E. He presented three award certificates for the membership drive, one to the club as a whole and one each to Mr. Morley and J. Lynn Booth. Two new members, Reed Kelly and Bailey J. Santistevan were initiated into the club and re-ceived their Lions buttons. B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp TOOELE MAKES 10th WIN AND SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP The Tooele Eagles, last year's champs of the BDAA hoop lea-gue, became court kings again as the torrid scramble came to a close this week. The champs proved their su-periority in all departments, their defense proved tops in ev-ery game, and the offensive fire broke out every time the eagle eyes needed it. J. Poulus, play' maker and top offensive star of the league, played stellar ball for the winners as they complet-ed the season with ten wins and not a defeat. Monday night, Tooele captur-ed the feature game from Bing-ham Miners 36-2- 7, with J. Poul-us, Cerroni and Allred splitting the strings steadily. Muhar led the Miners attack with nine as Padgen and J. Kallen garnered five apiece. Lopez, with 22 points, led the Standard Garage to a 42-3- 4 rout over the Shamrocks, Rudy Pino and B. Goris collected 11 apiece for the Irish, but couldn't hold up the pace. Midvale trounced the hapless Redskins 45 to 39 in the final encounter as A. Pino plunked 13 field goals to snare the final night's scoring honors. Awards for the league champ-ions, Tooele, have been purchas-ed and will be presented at a banquet sometime soon at Too-ele. Sportsmanship awards, which were voted unanimously to the Redskins, will be presented to the team members here. Although the Redskins failed to win a game, the Indian boys displayed a very fine spirit and can be proud of their effort and true sportsmanship. An all star team picked by the BDAA judges includes some fine performers, and could merit con-sideration in many leagues; here are the BDAA all stars for-wards, J. Poulus, A. Pino, and Yuhas; centers, Cerroni, J. Kal-len; guards, J. Bolic, Muhar, and Allred. ALLEY ANGLES Round Robin Tourney to Start Monday, March 22 Monday, March 22 has been set as a tentative starting date for the popular Gemmell Round Robin bowling tourney, with a large number of entries expect-ed- . Featuring the 16 game bout will be the beautiful Princess theatre trophy, won last year by Frank Zaccaria. The tourney, a handicap affair will be held four nights March 22, 24, 27 and 29 and is open to all Bingham resi-dents. An entry fee of $2.00 plus bowl-ing will be required. Bowlers must use average of current or past season, or if no average is available, must use a 160 aver-age. Handicap of 60 per cent of difference between bowlers aver-age and 200 will be used. Besides the trophy, money pri-zes will be posted from the en-try fees. Contact Herb Babcock or Al Ablett for details. GEMMELL CLUB AND BDAA TO R SMOKER A very interesting boxing and wrestling program is being ar-ranged for Wednesday evening, March 31 by the Gemmell club and the BDAA. An amateur boxing program, as well as several professional wrestling matches, are being lin-ed up for the fight fans enjoy-ment this month. Details have not been fully completed at this date, but a splendid card can be expected, as the leather flinging fraternity again makes its ap-pearance here. Watch for more details soon. JUDGE BOSONE TO SPEAK HERE TUESDAY NIGHT Under Ihe joint sponsorship of City of Bingham Canyon and Bingham Canyon Lions club. City Judge Reva Beck Bosone of Salt Lake City will speak on "Alcoholism" ai Bing-ham Central school auditorium next Tuesday evening, March 23 at 8 o'clock. The public is cordially invited to attend. There it no admission charge. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Basketball as far as Utah schools are concerned is over. BY high of Provo won the class B championship by defeating Beaver in the final game 31-2- 6. Beaver was strictly a dark horse, but they came north with about as scrappy a team as one would care to watch in action. BY high was led by Christensen at center and he was the outstanding boy in the meet. Not too big a boy, standing around the six foot mark he could do everything a good ball player is supposed to do. Dribble, shoot, guard and a whiz under the basket. Another one on the-B- team was Chris-tiansen, a little fellow that was all over the floor. On the Beaver team Pearce was the outstand-ing boy. The old time baseball fans of Bingham will remember his dad as a catcher on the U. S. Mines team. The Jordan division didn't do too well in this tournament Tooele losing the first night and Murray the second. There may have been tournaments where there were better teams, but there never was one that had more close games. For example BY high wqn three games by six points, one of them in an over-time period. So we of Bingham give out with the old Brooklyn yell "wait until next year". Eckers Studio team of Salt Lake are making a swell show-ing in the National AAU tourna-ment being held in Denver. They have signed Gardner, Smuin and Woodward of the Utah team and Nelson of BYU. They are now ranked up there with the favor-ites, Phillips, Denver Nuggets and the Oakland Bittners. Arnie Ferrin, Utah's all Amer-ican, has left to play in the East vs West all star game to be held in Madison Square Garden. Ar-nie willjbe a star in this one. There isn't any wonder that amateur sports get into a muddle every so often, because their governing bodies can be the most inconsistent of any group of men in the country. For instance Brady Walker of BYU had play-ed five years so they tell the Y you can't play in the NCAA tour-nament. Washington university has a five year man, but they can play. No explanation, noth-ing. Just Washington can play, BYU can't. Why? Your guess is as good as anyones. Boxing has ' been banned in Illinois until April the seventh, in the meantime the commission is going to give a thorough in-vestigation. Now if the other commissions around the country would do the same and mean it maybe they could do something about cleaning it up. Because it stinks and I mean in every state commission or not. I understand there is to-- be an athletic show at the club Wed-nesday, March 31. It will be the first one since before the war so we hope it will be a good one. See you next week. AL COMMUNITY METHODIST CHURCH Date yourself and friends for the musicale Easter Sunday night at eight o'clock.

Overheated air ducts in the building ignited combustible in-sulation, which burned under the roof, Chief Clay said. Firemen chopped a 44-- ft hole from 4 to 12 ft. wide in the roof to get at the flames, he said. It took four hours to bring " the blaze under con-trol. A broken thermostat permit-ted the furnace to overheat, Chief Clay said. Bingham Volunteer firemen also answered the alarm. v Local Happenings J Reported in fair condition at ijingham hospital is Charles E. 4dargo, 43, of 525 Redwood Rd., Jordan, who suffered a Jest head injury when hit by timber while climbing in the U.

Denton, Magna-Garfiel- d March of Dimes chairman, and his committee were sharpening their appetites in anticipation of the dinner that will be served them by Bob Jimas and J. Lynn Booth, Bingham drive chairmen. Mr. Denton issued a challenge to the Bingham committee, bas-ed on the number of employees in both regions, claiming his committee would collect at least one-thir- d more than the Bing-ham committee. According to figures released Wednesday, the Magna-Garfiel- d area not only won the bet but did so by a wide margin as it collected nearly three times as much. The Magna-Garfiel- d area gave a total of $3176 to this drive compared with 1306.60 from the Bingham area. O HEALTH NEWS Physicians and local health of-ficers reported a total of 354 re-sident cases of notifiable diseases to the state department of health for the week ending March 12. That number compares favor-ably with the 464 cases for the previous week and 427 cases for the same week last year. Diphtheria still continues to march on. Five cases were re-ported from Provo during the week, bringing the total cases for the year to twenty-seve- n. During the same period of time last year, there were only two cases re-ported. The continuation of the diph-theria outbreak this year, even though at a reduced incidence, indicates the need for more ex-tensive diphtheria immunizations throughout the state and partic-ularly among infants, pre school and school children. The state department of health recommends that all children be immunized against diphtheria starting at six months of age. The following is a list of all reportable diseases for the week: chickenpox, 128; diphtheria, 5; influenza, 34; measles, 37; Ger-man measles, 3; mumps, 70; pneumonia, 10; scarlet fever, 17; septic sore throat, 3; undulant fever, 2; whooping cough, 16; gonorrhea, 6; syphilis, 14; can-cer, 13; rheumatic fever, 2; dy-sentery (Shigella), 1; and ring-worm of the scalp, 1. O UNIVERSITY COMPILES U. N. DOCUMENTS Probably the most complete index of United Nations docu-ments in the world, available to the general public, will be own-ed by the University of Utah within the next few months. No complete index of UN doc-uments exists at the present time except the one compiled by the UN itself, which is not available to libraries or the gen-eral public, according to Dr. Franz B. Schick, political science professor. So, the university, which has all the documents published by the UN, is making its own index. The library has several thous-and of the UN documents now and receives a copy of each new publication as soon as it comes out. But until now, there has never been' any way to find the material needed, Dr. Schick ex-plains. The University of Utah will make the index available to oth-er colleges throughout the nation when it is completed. The work is being done by eight students in the political science department under the direction of a library assistant. When the work is completed, the university will be able to offer an excellent opportunity for stu-dents interested in research on current world problems. To supplement the UN library, efforts are being made to get a complete set of League of Na-tions documents. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Antonio E.
