Hardware is shaped close to the doors to prevent snagging of garments. While all of the other details of the 1949 Chevrolet cannot be covered in a limited description, worthy of mention are: large trunks equipped with automatic lock; rear compartment dome light doubled in candlepower; a concealed gasoline filler pipe, the tank now being located on the left hand side of the can; parking park-ing lamps built into the grille; a ball-bearing mounted front seat adjustment.

The drive will continue to the end of the month, it was stated, with all receipts going toward the control of infantile paralysis, the much dreaded malady, which has marked Utah for several years past as one of the most heavily afflicted states in the nation. Collection? boxes have - been placed in all business houses on both Main and State streets, Dr. Worlton explained. Federated Women's Clubs are joining the Jaycees and Lions in member contributions and in collections. Services received through the National Foundation for the city of Lehi have far exceeded the amount collected here, it was explained. ex-plained. A number cf victims have been given care during the acute stages of the disease and many are still receiving checkups and aid toward the control of any crippling after effects. Last year was the best year for collections col-lections thus far, Dr. Worlton said, with an expression of appreciation ap-preciation to all who contributed or helped in the drive. ' Assisting, Dr. Worlton are Dr. Elmo Eddington and Robert Webb. Heading the drive in Cedar Fort is Bishop Afton Chamberlain and in Fairfield, Mrs. Florence Butt.

Lehi lost their second league game, which was played at the local high school gym last Friday night.' The Pioneer team, coached by Earl Holmstead, gained a lead of 10-9 in the first quarter against the Lincoln Tigers, Tig-ers, who rallied with a gain of 16-13 at the hall time mars, tsy t.hp end of the third quarter, the score stood at 25-24 in favor of Lincoln, but due to the succes sion of personal fouls the Pioneers Pio-neers were never able to regain their original advantage. rhp ffvm was nacked with en thusiastic rooters, and the Lehi High School Booster girls appeared ap-peared in their marching drill for the first time this season. This is the second time they have won their new uniforms, purple skirts with white blouses and sweaters, aweaiers are marked with the Booster insignia insig-nia and white Dlatform oxfords and sox are wcrn. The girls were assisted by Barbara Brown, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T nwpil Brown. The Pioneer team will rest this ti-ppk. with a tilt against the American Fork Cavemen set for the following Friday, in American Ameri-can Fork. Residents of some of the snowbound snow-bound areas of Highland bench dug out this week from snow blocked roads. With 4 to 6 feet banks and in some places 8 feet banks of snow lining the roads opened by graders, Highland was virtually a "winter wonderland". Mail service in some parts was disrupted and for several days school buses were not able to make the regular routes. Jan. 3 ind 16, snow conditions were such as to warrant dismissal of the regular church services for the day. Some of the older residents who have weathered through "worse winters than this one by far" say that when high winds come to whip the snow banks from the roadsides these travel routes will be filled in. Then reverting to the custom of years back, the travelers take off right through the field. O. C. Day says he well remem bers more than one winter when the roads were drifted over and fences were obliterated in snow depth, so he said, "we went through the fields right over the fences". The worst blizzard in that area, recalls Mr. Day, was in 1916 when the storm raged with no abatement for three days and nights, but the coldest blizzard he remembers was that of about a week ago. One New Year's Eve, years ago, Joseph Smith, his wife and child were asphyxiated through carbon monoxide fumes from a bucket of coals placed in the bed room. Mrs. Mary Strassburg, the Relief Society president, was taken by Mr. Day with his horse and buggy to the Smith home in the after noon and returning home after dark a fierce storm broke, with such intensity the horse wouldn't face the blizzard. "We couldn't see-the.road and got off into the middle of a field. I had to get out and lead the horse until we located a fence line and found the way home". Geneva Steel workers from Highland who have to walk over a mile to the highway to catch the bus will consider themselves lucky in the light of experience of Highland workmen who labored labor-ed at the Lehi sugar factory in those days. Using a lighted lan tern under blankets for warmth and making a gunny sack shield over the buggy top was not unusual. Mrs. B. L. (Estella) Noyes, 51, widow of Dr. Benjamin Lake Noyes, noted physician and genealogist, is in the Lehi hospital, hos-pital, recovering from injuries received re-ceived in a highway crash, which occurred Monday morning at 11:30. According to State Highway High-way Patrolman Dick Evans, who rwith Patrolman Bert Nielson of Sprlngville, investigated the aci- School Lunch Available -To All School Pupils Parents are given the opportunity oppor-tunity each year to obtain a hot lunch at the School lunch room in the basement of the Memorial building.

Whipple Dies Following Short Illness Funeral services for Susanah Smuin Whipple, 61, will be held in the Fifth ward chapel, Friday at 12:00 noon, with Bishop Warren War-ren L. Goates in charge. Mrs. Whipple died Tuesday morning in a Provo hospital, after an illness ill-ness of several weeks. She was born in Lehi, June 15, 1887, a daughter cf James B. and Mary Ann Comer Smuin. Her father was a well known musician music-ian here in early days and proprietor pro-prietor of the Smuin dancing academy., Mrs. Whipple is well known in Lehi for her friendly spirit. Survivors include her husband, John R. Whipple, two brothers and two sisters, Marion D. Smuin, Mrs. Mamie Thomas and Miss Myzell Smuin, of Lehi, and La-Velle La-Velle Smuin of Magna.

Burial will take place in the Lehi cemetery. dent, the crash was caused by the slippery condition of the highway. The collision occurred near the point of the mountain on the Salt Lake County side. The car in which Mrs. Noyes was riding was driven by her daughter, Mrs. John Betts, 23, whose little daughter, V2 years old also accompanied them. A northbound car, driven by Harold B. Sholes, 34, of American Fork, skidded and sideswiped the Noyes machine. With Mr. Scholes was his wife, Orale, 33, and their son, Peter, 7. None were seriously serious-ly injured, save Mrs. Noyes, although al-though Mrs. Scholes was taken to the American Fork hospital for a checkup. Mrs. Noyes suffered broken ribs and a badly lacerated right hand which required several stitches. Reports from the Lehi hospital, Wednesday, stated that she was Improving. Mrs. Betts and the baby had returned to Salt Lake City. Mr. Evans stated that damages dam-ages to the cars amounted to between $500 and $600 on the Noyes machine, and $300 on the Scholes vehicle. Mrs. Noyes is a resident of Stongington, Maine, and was a friend to the Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, serving in the Bancroft Ban-croft district. Elder Alvin Schow had known of her while on his mission in Maine, but had not traveled in that particular region. Elder Schow, together with Elder LaVerne Brown, of Salt Lake City, visited her in the hospital, and called at the Evans home. Elder Brown had known her In Maine, and also in the Utah capitol during her stay there for the past several months. Of particular interest . to the people of Utah is the fact that Mrs. Noyes sold to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a vast collection of genealogical data, compiled over a period of 50 years by her late husband, Dr. Benjamin Lake Noyes. A man of great wealth, as well as physician, phy-sician, surgeon, oculist and business busi-ness man, he took up genealogy as an avocation. He attended the births of over 5000 children, and much of his data was obtained during the waiting hours. A stenographer was hired by him to type the material, which pro-ceedure pro-ceedure went on for a period of 14 years. When the LDS missionaries arrived ar-rived at the Bancroft region in Maine, Mrs. Noyes met them, and decided to turn the records over to the LDS genealogical society. She came to Utah at the time the records were sent, and has expressed ex-pressed her liking for Utah and her desire to remain in the state. She was accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law and the baby. Mr. Betts had returned to Maine and the two women were enroute to California for a visit with friends at the time the accident ac-cident occurred. The records, which were described des-cribed in an October issue of the Church Section of the Deseret News were shipped in 30 large wooden crates and weighed 3,300 pounds. Sen. A. V.
