O CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM NOW JJNDERWAY Bingham Canyon has joined the nation in marking "Freedom Week" February 12 through 28, during which the Crusade for j Freedom will make a concerted drive for moral support and "Truth Dollars" to help Radio Free Europe combat the Soviet grip on people behind the Iron Curtain. Mayor Joe Dispenza, said the national goal of Freedom Week is to enlist a total of 25,000,000 American citizens and raise $10,000,000. To show the people behind the Curtain the widest possible front of American participation, the Crusade has the backing here of labor organizations, mining com-panies and business men. Freedom Week, which includes the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington, "gives these holi-days added significance this year", Mayor Dispenza said. "Both of these great men knew the battle for men's minds and how the truth makes men free, but history has never known a battle such as that being waged right now . by 4h Free World against the lies and treachery of the Kremlin. "On the front line in this fight is Radio Free Europe and the truth it brings to 70.000,000 peo-- I pie in the captive countries on the Soviet doorstep. It is a pow-erful factor in keeping alive their courage, their will to resist and the hope of freedom. "Radio Free Europe is operat-ed as an independent American enterprise backed by private citizens. As such, it has proved a most effective, efficient and economical weapon for combat-ting Soviet imperialism. The Crusade for Freedom is .seeking the signatures of 25,000,000 citi-zens to provide unmistakeable evidence that Radio Free Eur-iop- e is the spontaneous voice of ifree people talking to people who pray to be free. The effec-tiveness of RFE depends to a great degree upon this broad citizen support. "Henry Ford II, national chair-man of the Crusade, has said that while dollars are needed for Radio Free Europe, equally im-portant is the active participa-tion and moral backing of mil-lions of independent American citizens."

Schedule for Tuesday, Febru-ary 23, is: teams 5 and 8 on al-leys 1 and 2, teams 3 and 2 on alleys 3 and 4 at 7:U0 p.m.; teams 7 and G on alleys 1 and 2, teams 1 and 4 on alleys 3 and 4 at 8:30 p.m. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The Miners took Grantsville after a shakey start 63 to 47. Coach Wankier had to take his first team out and insert the re-serves in order to stop the Cow-boys. There was only a point separating them at the end of the first period, but when the Miners found the range they went on to win going away. Tonight they go to Murray to meet the only team to tag them with a loss this season, and they have their work cut out for them. When they played Murray here earlier in the season, Murray was as hot as a fire cracker in the first half and they built up a lead that the Miners couldn't overcome. At that Bingham out-scor-them from the field by one goal. Since that time the Miners have ironed out a lot of; the rough spots and the fouls that plagued them then, have gone and with the team in top physical condition I think the Miners will take this game but it will be a ding dong battle all the way. The ticket situation has caused a great deal of hard feelings that I think could have been avoided had the school authorities at Murray handled the situation dif ferently. Fans have told me that they went to Murray to order their tickets and were told that they would be taken care of but a day or two later they received notice through the mail that there were no tickets available. The same thing happened with people that called on the phone. They were told that there order for tickets would be filled and a few days later they also were cancelled. As I understand it, at the present time there will be very few fans from 3ingham that will have seats at this game that could very well be the most decisive game of the year for both teams. Now if there were seats available when these peo-ple called for them there surely should have been tickets a few days later unless the demands from the Murray fans was a great deal heavier than the peo-ple in charge had anticipated. In that case the Bingham fans that thought enough of their team to; go to the trouble of going down to Murray to pick up their tick-ets should have been taken care of, especially after being told that they, would be. I have al-ways been under the impression that so many tickets were always set aside for the visiting team, but I guess I have been wrong, I know I was in this case. But Bingham fans or no Bingham fans I think the Miners can take them. There is to be held in the Bing- - ham High School gym the great- - est basketball show that the fans of this community has seen in many a year this Saturday night, tomorrow night. Charley Bates, recreation director for the county in Bingham has arrang-ed a double header between the top teams of the Salt Lake Re-creation League. This is the loop (Continued on page four) B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Meeting Tomorrow Night The BDAA baseball meeting, being held tomorrow evening at the Cyprus Hall, will draw to-gether most of the interested or-ganizations in the immediate area. Invitations have been sent to most every active group in the Bingham District, and sev-eral top baseball figures from Salt Lake are expected to attend. Tiie meeting has been called for 6:30 p.m. tomorrow night, Sat-urday. Plans for added improvement of local and community baseball will be the main topic of discus-sion. This meeting, planned from last baseball season, has been arranged to find out if possible whether communities such as ours should support baseball. Our set up in the new North-west Semi-pr- o league last year was definitely a step in the right direction. The BDAA hopes to continue along this line. If local people want baseball, we will do all in our power to have it. This meeting should give us a pretty good idea of whether to continue this activity and if so, just what we can do to make it mole attractive for our baseball supporters. MINERS AT MURRAY Our local prep hoopsters hope to even matters with Murray to-night in the . top game of the Jordan Division at Murray's gym. Bingham suffered it's only defeat in league play at the hands of a red hot Murray squad and will be battling to square mat-ters. The locals have a 6 to 1 re-cord, and a win tonight will vir-tually clinch a tourney berth. Coach Wankier's club downed the Grantsville Cowboys last Friday, and after tonight have a tough one at Tooele and then play Judge at Bingham. Several reserves looked good in the last game against Grants-ville. Coach Wankier will prob-ably use three or four of these boys as the occasion calls for, and can insert a couple that de-finitely can uphold their posi-tions. The leaders will have to go all out to down Murray to-night, and they expect to keep them from getting as many good shots as last meeting. We understand that seats at Murray are rather difficult to obtain, but we can lend our boys a lot of moral support in a sportsmanlike manner. We'll be rootin' for a win anyway. TEN PIN TAPS by Al Ablett Monday night Ned Chestnut hit them to the tune of 586 and yours truly had a high game with 210. A couple of the boys had to give up their places in the lea-gue on account of the five-da- y week. They were bumped back to nights. Glen Voshell was one of them but Glen tells me he is going to keep up with his bowl-- 1 ing. George Zdunich will take Glen's place on team three. Team 8 won three points as did team 2. These are the two that are in the lead. Team 8 still has a comfortable lead as yet and they show no signs of weaken-ing. All the rest of the league are bunched and one good or bad night can make a big difference in the standings. In the Wednesday league, there is a whale of a race. A matter of six points separates all four teams. In the Wednesday session in the first game Duggie Gonzales and Buck Leyba put on a battle. Duggie had 199 and Buck 197. Duecie came back jwith 215 and a 563 series to cop the honors all the 'way around. !Bob Ford is going good in this league as is Cash Gray, both shooting their first year. Most of this league is made up of fust year bowlers. The two teams in the State League shooting in the State Street lane3 are from Bingham. Namely, Huntsman Chevrolet and Dr. Johnsons. The leading team in the Ritz League has two Bingham bowlers on it Frank Zaccaria and Chris Katis. Our Major League team is in third place so you can see that Bing-ham has her share. Chopper Bill Ablett has been going great guns of late. He has had 620, 631 and 651 in his last1 three series. That is a 211 clip,! hot in any man's league. Last week Pep Borich had a big 663 series in the State Lanes. I think Pep is leading in averages in this league. Bingham has five in the first ten. . j Here is next week's schedule: teams 2 vs 7, and 6 vs 3 at 6:30 p.m ; teams 4 vs 8 and 5 vs 1 at 8:15 p.m. O Ignatz Adamek Jr., of Olathe, Kans., arrived by plane yester-day afternoon, Thursday, to spend the week end visiting with his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. John Adamek.
