Boberg, command er of the post. Th1s event was the seventh similar benefit affairs, the proceeds from which have been distribute d to needy and unemploy ed of the communi ties in which they were held. The total value or goods paid at the door for admission was more than $500, it is said. The proceeds of Friday's affair were turned over to the ward Relief society for distributio n. Darrel T. Lane ot Salt Lake, and Otto Weisley, departme nt adjutant, were speakers of the evening and explained the ideals, purposes and achievem ents of the Legion. Thursday evening 19 members of the Post living west of the river, gathered at Firemen's hall in Midvale as guests of 31 members from the east side. The West Siders wo'h the drive for new members and were served an old-fashioned army ~<Mulligan" stew as a prize. A good old "get together" was enjoyed and the old army songs and stories were re-sung- and re-told. On Monday evening tn the Sandy amuseme nt hall, seven new members were initiated into the Post by means of. a radio broadcast . This was the night of the nationwid e Legion radio program, and the new members brought the total roster of the organization from 70 last year to 94. · The new members are William Crittende n, Cyril Foules, Lon and Bert Buckley, Ed Beck, W. E. Thomas B.nd William Neff. One of the speakers of the evening was Alden G. Alley, of Dana college. who has been to the Geneva and Hague conferenc es. He discussed "Internat ional Relations hips," a subject on which he is well informed. He stressed the fact that nations are becoming as neighbors and a better understandi ng of each other's motives and ideals is imperativ e to peace. Judse James J...... Woolf of Salt Lake, chairman of the internatio nal relationship committe e of the Legion, was another speaker. The American Legion Auxiliary gave a splendid Fidac program at the regular meeting held in Firemen's ball Wednesd ay evening, April 20. Typical Portugue se numbers we~e rendered by those on the prol?ram 1n honor of Portugal, where the mternational Fidac congt·ess is being held at Lisbon this year. Ten countries will have represent atives at the ~onven tion. The speaker of the evenmg was Phil Goldbran son of Sandy, who gave a very interestin g talk on the subject, "Portugal , the Place Where Nobody Goes." Dancing was enjoyed following the program. - ------- Members of the Utah Poultry Producers' Cooperati ve associatio n, who are in need, are urged by their organiation's officers and directot·s to take advantag e of the financial assistance offered by the Poultry Finance Corporation of Utah. The finance corporati on has been organized for the express purpose of aiping deserving associatio n members finance their baby-chic k purchases , it is explained by Clyde C. Edmonds , general managet· of the poultry association and president and general manager of the finance corporati on. The finance corporatio n, Afr. Edmonds explains, is now operating smoothly and effectivel y, placing it in position to perform a valuable service to the poultrym en of the state. Loan applicatio ns submitted to the feder.RJ. intermedi ate credit bank at Berkeley, Calif.. by the corporatio n, are now being rapidly approved and distribution of the loan funds made without delay. Promptne ss is naturally of vital importance in obtaining- baby chick funds at this season of the year, for the hatching season is getting well advanced and the later the chicks are. obtained the later it will be before they develop into laying hens. Mr. Edmonds estimates that between 250 and 300 Utah poultrym en have already made applicatio ns for loans. and that approxim ately $75,000 will have been distribute d by the forepart of May. These loans have ena.bled poultry producers to add ma.ny thousands of baby chicks to their flocks, insuring the maintena nce of efficient productio n units, a prerequiiste to maximum profits at any time and under any conditions . Poultrym en of Utah are cautioned against permittin g their flocks to become depleted and warned, against attempting to effect economie s by main~ taining the size of flocks through lax culling methods rather than the addition of young stocl{. Failure to replenish flocks with baby chicks not only precludes any chance for greatest possible net returns, but may actuStake Honor nlght of the M. I.

HOLDS FINALS • Spring Weath er Cuts Seaso n For Movin g of Trees Warm weather is cutting short the shipping season at the forestry departme nt nursery of the Utah State Agricultu ral college, according to an announce ment by Paul M. Dunn, extension forester. More than 15,000 forest tree seedlings intended for planting on farms of Utah, have been packed and shipped .to date, in filling the orders of 65 farmers from many parts of the state. For best results, the young trees should be moved from the nursery, packed and transplan ted to new ground, while the seedlings are still dormant, or before new growth starts, advises Mr. Dunn. If warm weather continues , the movemen t of trees for 1932 planting will come to a close within the next few days, according to Prof. T. G. Taylor who is in charge of the nursery. Jord an Cinder Stars Show Class MIDVALE SEEKS LIGHT TO GUARD R. R. CROSSING Utili ties Commission Urges Retain ing Watch man Members of the Midvale city council are actively pushing their plea to the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad company officials for the installation of a flashlight signal to guard the crossing over the rails on East Center street. A meeting with Hugh Wilson, superinte ndent of the rail concern, was sought Wednesda y, In times past when the matter has been brought up for considera tion by the railroad company, offiicals of that firm have agreed to erect a signal system. but only provided they would be relieved of the necessity of employing a watchman . At present the watchma n is on duty between the hours of 7:30 a. m. and 5:30 p. m. At night, however, with no warning signal and with the station house blocking the view of auto drivers coming from the west, it is felt that the crossing is a. perpetual som·ce of great danger. Inasmuch as a number of accidents have occurred on this crossing, a determined drive has been started for added protection . The railroad has written to the Public Utilities Commission of Utah relative to the matter, to which the following reply was received: "Mr. Hugh Wilson, Superinte ndent, The Denver & Rio Grande Western R. R. Co., City. "Dear Sir: "The commissi on asknowle dges receipt of your letter of April 7, relative to the crossing at Midvale, Utah, on which there was recently a.n accident. 1 'You state in your letter that efforts have been made to obtain au· thority to erect automatic flashing light crossing signals to protect the crossing in question, also to secure the passage of an ordinance from the city officials of Midvale to discontinu e the maintena nce of a watchma n at this crossing, after such installatio n. "This commissi on after going into this matter feels that some additiona l protection should be given, and therefore. approves the installatio n of automatic flashing light signals, however, in view of the fact that there are numerous school children who of ne~ cessity must pass over this crossing, the commissi on is convinced that it is to the interest of the carrier as well as to the public to have this crossing protected during certain hours by a watchman . 1 ' Very truly yours," "Public Utilities Commissi on of Utah, "By F. L. Ostler, Secretary ." It is the desire of Midvale officials and citizens to induce the railroad to provide a flashlight signal system for operation during the hours when no watchma n is on duty and to maintain the watchma n during the hours he now is employed . By WILL ROBIS The fact that all Jordan district schools are closed for the summer did not prevent Eddie Kimball and his Beetdigge rs from entering Friday's triangula r meet at Murray and in garnering 28 points for the Red and Gray school. True enough, Jordan finished in last place and came home without the bacon. however, considering the number of m.en who participl:\ted in the meet for the Beetdigge rs, Jordan made a very favorable showing. Of the sixteen track and field events listed for the joust, Kimball had men participa te in but eight contests. Frank Canning and Sam Pedro led Jordan in point making by acquiling seventeen points between them. In winning first places in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, Canning equaled state high school records and accounted for ten of his team's total score. He stepped the 100-yard in 10.4 and the 220 in 25.1. Pedro captured first and third positions in the 440 and 220-yard events, respective ly. In what was probably the most spectacul ar race of the entire meet, Sam Pedro nosed out N euenschw andei' in the 440-yard event. With but some 150 yards of track remaining in this run, Pedro staged an almost superhuman comeback by sprinting from fifth place into a dazzling lead over the entire pack and scoring a time of 55.2 for the race. Biack won the high hurdle honors for Jordan by being the only hurdler to qualify. Hansen and A. Canning were the other point winners for the Beetmen. Kimball now has his sqt!d training intensely for the B. Y. U.
