A. Bridges of Magna, at an assembly held at the Cyprus high school. Telling of his experiences on the destroyer, the Reuben James at the time that it was torpedoed and sunk in the North Atlantic off Iceland in October, Mr. Bridges gave an interesting account of the ship at the time of the attack. A first-clawireless and radio operator on the Reuben James, Mr. Bridges expects to be assigned to another destroyer upon his return to duty at Norfolk, Virginia. Mr. Bridges continued with the story by saying, I was in my bunk when I was awakened by concussion caused by the tor pedo hit I put on my life belt and rushed to the deck. There was a large, gaping hole in the most vital spot in a ships structure. We had no alternatives than to lower the life rafts and many of us had to jump. My fears were heightened when I recalled the suction caused by a sinking ship Frantically I swam as fast as possible away. The ocean water about the disaster was covered with 3 to 4 inches of fuel oil which aided the men afloat to keep warm. Of the 138 men and 7 officers on board, only 45 survived. We floated in the water 40 minutes and were, sighted, by a ship and picked,, up. Mr. Bridges said he was thankful he was alive today but wished to continue on and help his country. ss Monday -League - (All .money contributions, 10c Utah Oil- five-ma- n team, capbe will up, appreciated.) tained by John Jacobs, leads the 1941 Monday league with 28 and 16.

It will be remembered that two persons were needlessly killed near the Bingham and Garfield railway offices on the main highway when a car broke a pole and dropped a hot wire on the road.
