Injured in the mishap was jBibian J. Rondort, 32, Bmgham, who was listed in "fair" cond-ition nt St. Mark's Hospital. Both j Mr. Rendon's legs were crushed in the cavein and a portion of the left leg was amputated. A Cyril Robison, Copperton, narrowly escaped in-jury when, only minutes be-fore the shelf broke loose, he turned over operation of his sho-- : vel to Mr. Rcndon, who normally was employed as a crane opera-- ! tor at the mine. Mine officials said the practice of switching machine operators was routine to allow a greater Ispan of experience to employes. Mr. Ponclon had been operating the shovel in a lower level of the pit shortly before 9:30 a.m. when the huge mass of rock cas-caded down. He apparently attempted to escape from the shovel cab. He was found partially pinned in the operator's seat. The victim was taken to an emergency hospital at the mine and later transferred to St. Mark's Hospital. Cars from the Salt Lake Coun-ty Sheriff's office and the Utah Highway Patrol convoyed the ambulance to othe hospital.

Clark, former U. S. Commander-in-Chie- f in the Far East. The Heart Fund is the an-nual public appeal through which the Heart program is made pos-sible.

All businessmen are urged to attend.o TEN PIN TAPS by Al Ablett Last week found a name at the head of the list that is fast be-coming a habit as Russ Boren in led the Gemmell Majors with a fine 591 series. Russ has been having a fine year not only at the club but in the State Ma-jors as well. He and Ken Chest-nut finished in the first ten in the state round robin. Ken was in a good position going into the last day but the Pal-D-M- ar lan-es proved to be toughies and Ken settled for 6th with Russ right behind him. If either one could have solved the PaLD-Ma- r they could have taken it all. Another Bingham bowler, Mickey Callisto, had a big last night as he shot a good 1200 at the Ritz to place him in the mon-ey in the B class. We are going to hold in the near future a match game tour-nament at the club to crown a champ for our town and maybe have some special matches with the boys from other towns. The ladies have been turning in some fine scores on the local lanes. Two weeks in a row we have had a 500 series. This week it was Carol Chestnut. In the Wednesday night group, John Bolic was top man with a fine 547 with a 227 game. Bob Moore had a 200 game as well. This bunch is getting as rough as a cob. Another familiar figure has joined the maiors as Dan De-lan- ey has finally found time to get in his licks. Dan has always been a tough customer when the chips were down. Don't forget the match game tournament men, so get in your practice. This as you know is open to all club members so some dark horse can come along and cop the duke. Al. s : Mrs. Rosella Corline Freestone Beck, 77, of Vernal, mother of Mrs. James (Winona) Abplanalp of Bingham, passed away at her home in Vernal Wednesday af-ternoon, January 26 after a long illness. Funeral services were held Saturday, January 29th at noon at Vernal LDS Third Ward chapel. Burial was in Rockpoint cemetery.

Admission is $2.00 per person which will include a dutch lunch. o BJ)i.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp MINERS AT DUGWAY Bingham's hoopsters travel to Dugway tonight for what should be another mark in the credit column. The new school has re-ceived some rough treatment in the rugged Region Two, and is not expected to offer much op-position. The locals downed Judge last week to run their win skein to three with two losses. Cyprus continued it's domination of this region, with a close win over Tooele, and is now leading the pack with five wins. Bingham will go up against the Cyprus clan next week in their all important skirmish at Magna and will have to go all out to keep in the running for a tour-ney berth. The locals' top scorer, Mannion saw action in the Judge game last week and if his ankle keeps improving he should be in pretty good shape when second half play starts. ARDEN WEBB RENAMED O. E. I. U.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablett ' Bingham had very little troub-le' with Judge. Their next game is with the new school at Dug-way and the boys from out Too-ele way have been having troub-le winning so they shouldn't have too much trouble in this one. As I have said before, the teams they must beat are Murray and Cyprus. If they can win one or both of these games they have a chance of going to the tourna-ment. . Jack Mannion's ankle is coming along fine but of course these things take time, but the big center should be in top shape by the time the two important games come around. The big news last week of course was the East -- Jordan game as East stopped the Jordan bunch after 39 straight wins. The East bench crew concentrated on stopping not the great Pollard but the Jordan outside shooters.
