' The writer had high series 584 and Jimmy Abplanalp had high game with a big 225. In the State Tournament Bing-- ! ham again made its mark. Frank Zaccaria scorched the alleys in the singles with a big 696 on games of 202, 228, 266. Zac's ball; was pure dynamite. In the 202 three 10 pins hung on him or it would have been a big seven hundred. The Stockmen's Hotel team of which he and your writ-- ! er are members went into the lead in the team event with a ' 2881 scratch and 3053 handicap. Three of us made the all event board. Zac, Wee Lopez and yours truly. Several of our fellows have yet to shoot these singles and doubles. So we may have some more Bingham names high on the board. The Emerald Club team is leading the Tuesday night league at the State Bowling lanes by seven full points. One of the most imnroved bowlers in our town is Wee Lo-pez. Wee is having a good year, and he is a fighter. All of that Emerald club five are Tigers. Our next big event at the Club is the Princess Theatre Round Robin. Sixteen games on two week ends. This will be the fifth year for this popular tournament and we look for a record number of entries. The Princess trophy is something to be proud of. For-mer winners are Frank Zaccaria, Joe Brisk, Jimmy Abplanalp and myself. All will again be shooting! for this one. Here is the schedule for the final week. Wednesday, March 11th at 7 o'clock will be teams; 6 vs 4 and 1 vs 7 at 8:30. Teams' 2 vs 5 and 8 vs 3. This is the postponed week of February 11. Until next week, AL j . BJ).A.A FLASHES j by Jim Abplanalp ' MURRAY MINERS j TANGLE TONIGHT Bingham and Murray clash to-- ; night at Copperton, in what is supposed to be the final league Igame, but which may wind up 'as a thiee way tie fur second spot in the hectic Region Two chase. Many ifs ride on the outcome of the game at Bingham and the all' important battle at Grantsville between the Cowboys and Cyp- -' rus. If Bingham wins and Cyprus loses, the race will be thrown J into a three way tie. If Bingham wins and Cyprus wins, then the Pirates will clinch the tourney spot. If Cyprus and Murray both win, then these two clubs will ,have to battle it out. The remot-est possibility may be just what happens, and the Miner five will be battling to dump the Murray crew, and hoping that the Cow-boys can win over the Pirates. Grantsville, after a very poor start, has improved considerably and can be very tough on their home court. Anyway we look at it, the play in the tough Region :Two is still close and any club may beat the other. Tonight's games will start at 6:45 p.m. Be sure and get down early and please have your card and tax change ready.

He is the ' patron of the universal church, the model of fathers and hus-- ; bands, the example for all work- - ers and laborers. Once the Phar- - j aoh of Egypt told his people "Go to Joseph". Today the church bids all her children men, wo-- ! men, boys and girls to go to him in prayer for he is high in Heav-- , en, next to our Blessed Mother; Mary. March 2nd was the 77th birth- - day of Eugene Pacelli Pope Pius XII. On March 12th he will celebrate his 14th year as the glorious representative of Christ on earth. Few men in history of' the world have attained such a reverential place in the hearts of millions. He by his humility, pur-ity of life, self sacrifice, carries his cross behind our Lord and fulfills completely his title as "The Servant of the Servants of God". Let us pray for our Holy Father frequently since he has spiritual charge of over 400 mil-lion souls in this world. Our sympathy and prayers to Mrs. Ella Bills, who lost her hus- - band this past week.

Robert Webster, deputy director, of the U. S. Treasury's Savings Bonds Division. "Not only were we proud of the results attained by the work of these Utah Copper employees, we are also pleased to note the national recognition given to the way the drive was planned and organized," said Mr. Schramm. "Materials prepared by the company's Industrial Relations Department and used here have been requested for use in Defense Bond work of national companies and for distribution to all other state bond headquarters. "A big contribution toward success came from the way the community made the drive it's own. I want to commend the Bingham Bulletin, the local mer-- ' chants and all others who ,did so much to help. The Defense Bond banners, advertisements, and posters provided an atmosphere !that aided greatly in this achieve-ment."
