Thousands of Easter Seals have bee nsent to residents thru-o- ut the state. Over 92 per cent of all money collected will remain i in Utah, with less than 7 per ? cent being used for administra- - ' tion. Easter Seal contributions made possible these extensive accom-plishments last year: 3724 phy-sical therapy treatments, 3012 occupational therapy treatments, 4120 speech and hearing correc-tion treatments, and 120 classes in special education. 136 patients received surgical care. 142 pa-tients received hospitalization. There were 104 pre-scho- ol class-es for children, and braces, crutches, wheel chairs and other appliances were provided, all without cost to the patient. Dur-ing the year employment was found lor 74 handicapped per-son:?. The Utah Society for Crippled Children, sponsors of the Easter Seal campaign, receives its en-tir- o proceeds from the sale of Easter Seals and donations, mostly during the month preced-ing Easter Sunday. They receive no financial aid from any federal, state, or city government. There is no .solicitation during the year with radio or television appeals. No collections are made in mo-tion picture theatres, but the so-ciety is entirely dependent upon the sale of seals and contribu-tions. FIRST SECURITY DISTRIBUTES BOOKS ON GOVERNMENT Utah's youth are going to learn more about their state and local government. This week distribution of a new book, "State and Local Gov-ernment in Utah," began among Utah colleges, high schools, jun-ior high schools and libraries. The book is published by the Utah Foundation. A copy was presented to T. H. McMullin, principal, Bingham high school in Bingham this week by Dean T. Malan, manager of the Bing-ham office of First Security Bank of Utah, N.A. First Secur-ity has purchased 800 copies of the book for distribution among Utah school leaders and social science teachers. "First Security is Interested In encouraging better citizenship, and we believe this is one ol the best way9 to do it," said George S. Eccles, First Security presi-dent. Mr. Eccles and Henry R. Pearson, executive director, Utah Foundation, presented the first bound copies of the book to Elm-er K. --Hartvigsen, assistant state superintendent of public instruc-tion. The book was compiled and edited under the direction of Mr. Pearson. The book has been in preparation for eight yean, but was written in reference book form within the past year by the foundation staff. The foreword haa been written by Dr. G. Hom-er Durham, vice president, Uni-versity of Utah. Among these reviewing the book's manuscript and offering suggestions were Dr. Elroy Nelson, former direc-tor of the University of Utah's Bureau of Economics and Busi-ness Research and recently nam-ed vice president of First Secur-ity Corporation, and Mr. Hart-vigsen. The book's text, in the form of duplicated sheets, is currently serving as a course in some col-lege political science classes in 'the state.

Publicity Committee o HOLY ROSARY CHURCH by Father Pellegrino Marriage In Heaven The Sadducees said to Christ "Master, Moses said, if a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother. Now there were with us seven breth-ren, and the first having married a wife died, and not having issue left his wife to his brother. In like manner the second, third and so on to the seventh. At last also the woman died. At the Re-surrection therefore, whose wife of the seven shall she be? For they all had her. And Jesus ans-weri- n gsaid to them: you not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God, "For in the nthey shall neither marry, nor be given in marriage but shall be as the angels of God in Heaven." Origin of the Rainbow And God said, this is the sign of the Covenant which I give between me and you and to ev-ery living soul that is with you jfor perpetual generations. I will set my bow in the clouds and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me and between the earth. And when I shall cover the sky with clouds my bow shal appear in the clouds and I will remember my covenant with you and with every living soul that beareth flesh and there shall no more be waters of a flood to de-stroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the clouds and I shall see it and shall remember the ever-lasting covenant that was made between God and every living soul and all flesh which is upon the earth. And God said to Noah, this shall be the sign of the cov-enant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.

TEN PIN TAPS by Al Ablett Monday night's session found a gust shooter hot as Gus Katis hit the club's alleys for a 633 series. Pep Borich wasn't left out of the picture as he had a big 258 game. Gus was subbing for the No. 1 team and he helped them to win three from team 6. He was a regular last year but living in the valley he has con-fined his play to two leagues in Salt Lake this year. Among the regulars Gene Johnson was high with 575. Gene was on the same team as Gus. Team 8, the leaders were handicapped with a dummy score and they dropped three to team 2, making the race a little more interesting. Something that we can't un-derstand is that most of the fel-lows are as high as ten pins a game under their Salt Lake av-erages in the Gemmell League and these are their home alleys. Pep Borich is the only one hold-ing at about the same level. But in the pot games you have to shoot over 200 or you are a dead duck. Funny game this bowling. Next big tournament is the Mock Ritz Classic and the boys are all setting their sight on this one. It is a handicap affair, that is shut under the very same con-ditions as the famed Ritz Classic eight games across sixteen al-leys. Here is next weeks schedule for the Monday night league: teams 8 vs 7 and 6 vs 5 at 6:30 p.m.; teams 2 vs 1 and 4 vs 3 at 8:30 p.m. The Wednesday league post-poned their session on account of the state basketball tourna-ment. So you can see what kind of fans we have in this town. They will be back in action next week. A number of our girls took part in the tournament at the Ritz alleys last Sunday and I am proud to say they made a wonderful showing. Mary John-son finished high in the money as did Lela Coca. Nice going girls, keep it up. j LOCAL NOTES Recognition for their outstand-ing achievement in safety came last week to George L. West and Joseph A. Spendlove, employees of Utah Power and Light Co. at Bingham Canyon. They have worked continuously for more than 10 years in a hazardous oc-cupation without a lost time ac-cident. They were honored at the company's 1954 Safety Roll of Honor banquet held in Salt Lake City March 12th. Bingham Ward Relief Society will hold its regular monthly so-cial science meeting on Tuesday, March 23 at 10 a.m. Mrs. Mary Raby will give the lesson. Ail members and ladies of the ward are cordially invited. Mrs. H. J. Kubitshek left yes-terday afternoon (Thursday) to return to her home in Sioux City, Iowa, following a several months' visit here with her dau-ghter and son in law, Mr. and Kirs. Sam Feraco.

LADIES BOWLING In this week's bowling session .of the Gemmell Club Ladies bowling league, Helen Maxwell bowled high game of 175 and had high series of 473 for the evening. Beverly Moore had a 170 game for second high. Sec-ond high series of the evening was 424 rolled by Shirley Pan-talon- e.

COMING Wednesday, March 24 Bingham Lions meeting, Civic Center, 6:15 p.m. Saturday, April 3 Bingham and Copperton Gold and Green ball. Civic Center. Saturday, April 10 Annual Crab Sizzle, sponsored by Bingham Lions Club, Civic Center. Friday, April 23 BUS Junior Prom "Blue Gar-denia", O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Another chapter was written in the story of Bingham's tourna-ment history. We lost to Spanish Fork in a game that had every-one standing in their seats at the end. The score was tied at the end of the regular time and in the overtime period they out-scor-us by two points and it ended 47 to 45. All I know is what I read in the paper so I am not going into details as to how we lost this one, but I do know that we outscored them from the field 18 to 16 so the story lies in the number of fouls that were called on the two. teams. Span-;is- h Fork had 31 tries good and the Miners made nine of theirs. 'Now 1 could be wrong but it hardly seems possible to put ten boys on the same floor and have that much difference in the way they play the game. Bingham lost two of the first string in the second half when Sonny Robert-son and Jack Mannion went out on five fouls. This didn't help our cause any. Mannion was high point man for the Miners with 13 and J. Swenson for the Dons with 18. j The experts tell me that the luck of the draw put these two teams together in the first round and this will probably be the best game of the meet. Their opinion is that the winner of this one will go on to win the tourna-- ' ment and the loser the consola tion bracket. The Miners played j Union yesterday (Thursday) and won this one going away. Final count was 60 to 42. The fact is I don't think they will come close to losing another one. But as I said a loss like they had can take a lot out of a kid ball club. Like the Brooklyn baseball fan says, wait until next year. Baseball is in the air for sure ; and on the 23rd of this month Bingham is sending one of their most promising boys off to the wars to try for fame and fortune in our great American pastime. Marion Cowdell leaves for Mel-bourne, Fla., and the New York Giants minor league training camp on that date and the good (Continued on page four) v Bingham Volunteer Firemen are planning to hold a dance at the Civic Center on Saturday evening, March 27th for mem-bers, and partners and their guests.
