An Independent Newspaper BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, FEB. 17, 1956 Oldest Weekly In Salt Lake County TELEPHONE 91 BHS HOOPSTER3 FACE GRANTSVILLE HERE TONIGHT Due to the Gene Fullmer - Gil Turner fight being televised, starting time of the wain bas-ketball contest between Bingham Miners and Grantsville Cowboys to be played tonight in the high school gym at Copperton, has been changed from 8:00 to 8:30 p.m.. Coach Udell Wankier re-ported. The first game will be a little later also he said. In the practice game played here last Thursday afternoon between the Bingham Miners and Moroni, the Miners defeated the visitors CO to 42. j B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp MINERS TEST COWBOYS The local Bingham High Miner hoopstcrs will try to rope in the visiting Cowboys from Grants-ville tonight, in an effort to wrap up a commanding lead in the Jordan division. The Miners lost a hard fought battle at Morgan in their last outing, and have been smarting after their first league defeat. A win tonight for the Bingham crew will just about wrap up the league title, as they will have games left only with Judge and Uugway. Judge will be no cinch on their home floor, but the Min- - ers should be able to take them, and should have little trouble with little Dugway. Grantsville has shown a good deal of improvement since the two clubs met in the first half and the locals are expecting a tough skirmish. The Cowboys will be trying hard to keep their hopes for a tourney berth alive, so the game should be the sea-son's best locally. Incidently, because of the tele-vised fight between Gene Full-mer and Gil Turner, the main basketball game has been set back about 30 minutes, and will start at 8:30 p.m. Next Friday the Miners travel to Judge Memorial, and will wind up league play at home on March 2, against Dugway. Baseball Thoughts Sounds a bit funny to be talk-ing about baseball in this kind of Arctic weather, 'but the old diamond sport will be with us before too many weeks, and we are hoping to be ready when the spring season does roll around. According to President Frank I Zaccaria, the Northwest base- - I ball loop will hold a meeting in I the near future to try and out- - line this year's play. There has been some talk of adding new teams to the league, possibly from the northern part of the state. The BDAA will try every pos-sible angle to field another good team in this league and we hope to keep this important phase of our community activities alive. .It's not too early to start getting organized on this program and we hope the teams and the lea-gue as a whole will be able to function bigger and better than ever. To have baseball in Bingham is quite an undertaking but with the fine cooperation we have re-ceived in the past, we believe we can continue with this need-ed program. --j O BASKETBALL BOXING CIRCUS DATED FOR MONDAY, FEB. 27TH A basketball and boxing circus by the Bingham Lions Club, Bingham High School and Salt Lake County Recreation Department, will be held in the high school gymnas-ium in Copperton on Monday evening, February 27 from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. it was announced this week. Participating in the show will be some of the 14 re-- I creation basketball teams. Fol- - lowing basketball, there will be dancing with music furnished by the high school dance orchestra.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY DATE ANNOUNCED The public is cordially Invited to come and see the three-oc- t comedy "Jumpin' Jupiter" writ-ten by Kurtz Gordon to be pre-sented by the Bingharn High drama students on Thursday, March 1st, at 8:00 p.m. in the school auditorium under the di-rection of Arthur M. Baker. Members of the cast include Joan Johnson, JoAnn Anderson, Sharlene Foster, Carole Dean Sanchez, JoAnn Murano, Jackie Dahlstrom, Sharon Forter, Joan Arritola, Gerald Cunningham, Marvin Prigmore, Ira Moss and Darrell Fahrni. The plot involves Abby, Dot, and Pat, who share an apartment and try to crash Broadway. Above (hem lives Bob, a play-righ- t, engaged to Pat. A rent bill is facing them, and Mollie, their landlady, is on the war-pat- h. Mollie tells them to pay up or else, when Pat comes in with a box she has found in a waste-baske- t. Her curiosity got the bet-ter of her when she saw a man drop the box. so she brought it home. They open it and find $50,000. Abby recalls the news that the Manning ransom of $30,000 would h paid that day to Baby Face Ben, kidnapper of Irene Manning. They discover that the serial numbers listed by the F.B.I. are identical with the bills in their possession. They are afraid to notify the police, and to add to their predicament, Ben has followed Pat home. They spot the kidnapper watching their apartment and when Oscar, an astrologer happens in, they take him for one of Ben's mtn. Having armed themselves, they surround Oscar and what they put him through to prove he's an astrologer is a panic. When tney draft him to help put the money back into the waste can, a brick with a note on it is thrown through the window with this warning: "You have the money but that isn't all you're going to get". What they i get is the kidnapped girl, gagged i and bound, dropped at their door, and of all times for Minnie, who has completed her first aid i course, to pop in looking for a victim, this would be it. She re-- ! cognizes the girl and runs for the police. With the ransom mo-Ine- y and the kidnapped girl in their possession the mere thought of the - police petrifies them. Needless to say, all ends well. BDAA cards will be honored. Admission is 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. O HOLY ROSARY CHURCH by Rev. John J.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt "Tonight (Friday) finds Utah's middleweight contender Gene Fullmer going against Gil Turner in their rubber match at Madi-son Square Garden. Had a long talk with Gene's dad "Tuff" Full- - mer and he tells me Gene was sharp in his workouts at West Jordan but he had contracted a slight cold upon his arrival in New York. Gene informed them by phone that he was sure he would be in top shape by fight time. So tonight the boy will sat-isfy himself as to his chances for a championship fight this sum-mer. The Savage - Ferdinand fight last Tuesday night at the Fair-grounds in Salt Lake was a bruis ing ten-roun- d brawl won by Sav-age. It was one of those fights that isn't a pleasing fight to watch because of so much head to head battling but one that is hard on the boxers. Savage fought his usual fight covering up a great deal of fighting only in flurries and it completely baf-fled the California boy. The most pleasing fight from a Bingham standpoint was the one round K.O.. by Chuck Brad-ley over Willie' Jones of Los An-geles. Chuck is making his home in Bingham at present and is toeing trained at the club by Bob Ford. This was his pro debut and he made it a winning one. Jones came out swinging and for a minute it looked like Chuck was in for a bad time but he caught the L. A. boy with a stiff right hand that slowed him up and that was the beginning of the end. In a wild flurry by Jones, Chuck caught him with a solid left hook that sent the L. A. boy into dreamland. Bradley is a fine prospect. Has good speed and it appears that he carries a good punch in either hand. He needs polish and if he makes up his mind to make 'boxing a career Ford will see that he gets the finish he needs. A good crowd of Bingham fans were on hand to wish him well. The handicap bowling tourna-ment to start next Monday night has better than 24 entries up to now, so if you don't have yours in 'best do it before Saturday, Feb. 18. Every club member that bowls has a chance in this one. Squads will be run every hour and a half starting at 6:30. Our high school basketball team meets Grantsville tonight on the Copperton floor In a game that should go a "long ways in deciding the championship of the Jordan division. Grantsville has one of their better teams and Coach Wankier is looking forward to a real bat-tle in this one. After this game they play Judge away and the final home game and also their last of the regular season will be with Dugway. They took Judge rather easy at home and Dugway should be no threat, but Grants-ville is a different thing. So in my 'book this Is the game they must win. Be seeing you.

ADVERTISING WEEK TO BE HjGHLIGHTED "Advertising helps you live better for less" is the theme of Advertising Recognition Week, February 19 to 25, being cele-brated throughout Utah and 11 western states. It is part of a current nation wide program to honor the vital part advertising plays in the life of each citizen. One of the most important ways adveising helps us "Live better for less" is by bringing U3 new ideas for use in our daily lives. For instance, several gen-erations ago every housewife made her own soap. Advertising convinced the public that soap produced by a manufacturer was even better and certainly more convenient. A cake of soap to-day, bought from a store, costs less than only the ingredients would cost to make it at home. Only a few years ago, cake, cookie and pie mixes were new. Women who took pride in their baking scoffed at the idea. But advertising convinced the wo-men of America that ready mix-es are economical, convenient, and equal in quality to home mixed ingredients. As a result, many homes enjoy cakes and pies that wouldn't otherwise, for every homemaker isn't a good baker. The same story is repeated ov-er and 'over again. Dozens of other new products have been started on the road to general acceptance by advertising. All these are new ways of do-ing old things, ways that help us "live better for less," and cer-tainly good reason to set aside one week of the year to give credit to advertising for the role it plays.
