CRY COUNCIL PLANS IEMORU[DAYPR~ ., Tentative plans for Memorial Day services to be held in Midvale on May 30 were dlacU88ed at the special meetIng of the city council held In the Firemen'• hall Tuesday night. It was the consensus that it would be unwlae to plan a parade this year, but it was recommended that the Midvale Junior high school band assemble downtown at 10:30 a. m. and play a few selections, from where they would march, followed by any who desired to accompany them, to the cemetery. Organizations of the Boy Scouts have been delegated to decorate each grave with a United States flag, and it was decided that an effort would be made to procure the services of a firing squad from either Fort Douglas or one of the nearby R. 0. T. C. units, to fire a salute in honor of the vet· erana of any war buried there. Commenclng at 11 o'clock a program will be held at the cemetery. .Although no definite steps were taken to outline the program a committee was appointed by Mayor L. A. Porter to arrange appropriate ceremonies. The committee conalsts of J. Hollis Aylett and E. E. Ellesen, city councilmen, and Robert Wallace, superintendent at the smelter. It was also decided to decorate the business section of the town with flaga and bunting, and to call on public iplrited citizens to aid In the plan to make a success of the day. Full cooperation of the local firemen was assured in aiding wherever they were called upon to do so. Final plana will be made, it was said, at the regular meeting next Tuesday night. Peter C. Rasmussen Reports Cheek Loss Peter 0. Rasmussen, local mereb&Dt, hu asked the Journal to aaal8t In locating a bundle of checks which he reports were lost between the Sandy City Bank and the Midvale State Bank during the past thirty da)'ll. Although Mr. Rasmuseen has not a list of the makers of the checks, he had them recorded In amounts as followa: One for $1.1G, one for $21.00, one for $50.00, one for $3.00, and one for uo.oo. All of the loet checks had been paaaed In Mr. RumU88en's store In past few weeks. Inasmuch as the cheeks were not presented to the bank, Mr. RaamU88en has requested that the Journal publish the list and that the makers get In touch with blm so .payment may be stopped u.at ud duplicate cbeca tuued. s1sltlng of the following teams: Draper, Midvale, Riverton, Sandy, Union and West Jordan. Officers elected at a meeting held Wednesday evening In the lrfidvale Junior High school are as follows: H. C. Hart, Midvale, president; C. E. Peebles, Sandy, vice president; G. H. Buckley, West Jordan, secretary. Some alma and purposes of the American Legion in promoting baseban for all bo)'ll under 16 ye&TJI of age are to teach the bo)'ll of the country to be better Americana through the lessons which the playing of the great American game affords; the spirit of fair play, loyalty, team work, obedience, gameness and democracy. The principles of good sportsmanship are closely related to the principles of good citizenship, and by teaching a boy to be a good sportsman in his youth we will make a better American of him In his adult life. A respect for law, and authorities, loyalty, and a reall:r.ation that the only satisfaction from winning comes from winning fairly, on and off the playing ;field. are things which every boy should get out of this junior pro~ gram. A code of sportsmanship, is: "Keep the rules. Keep faith with your comrades. Keep your temper. Keep yourself fit. Keep a stout heart In defeat. Kee}f your pride under victory. Keep a sound soul, a clean mind, and a healthy body." This is also a mighty good code for citizenship. At the Wednesday meeting Ray Adams, state chairman of junior baseball for Utah, gave a very interesting talk, and outlined plana for the future. Due to the fact of there being no active post of the American Legion here, the Midvale Lions club has taken the lead in organlzlng this movement, and will sponsor the local club, which of course is permissible under the rules. A schedule has been drawn up providing for a home and a visiting game with each team during the summer, closing July 24. The winning team will then compete for regional honors, and if successful, will go to Provo to the state meet in August. Men in charge of the teams are: Draper, John ll. Peterson; Midvale, Aaron Horne; Rlverto~ Henry Hurren; Sandy, A. E. Olson; Union, Kenneth Brady; West Jordan, C. B. Peterson. The schedule follows: May 24-West Jordan at Midvale; Union at Sandy, Draper at Riverton. May 31-Sandy at Draper, Union at Midvale, Riverton at West Jordan.

Alcorn has retired A transaction whereby control of the firm passed to the McFarland Lumber company of Salt Lake, was consummated last week, and on Monday A. G. Burton assumed active duties as manager of the store and lumber yard. · Mr. Burton has practically Uv.,.. tlis life around lumber yards. In takJng over his new duties he said: "We felt, in making this deal, that there is a great future for Midvale. The possibilities here attracted our interest and our capital, although we shall continue to operate under the same firm name, West Jordan Lumber company. We believe we can continue to give local men and women the same good service which was at their command when Mr. Alcorn was manager, and we will strive hard to do so. And when there is a poulbility of increasing that service, we shall take advantage of it. We want to serve the people of Midvale and will work for their good will." Receives Rare Letter Mr. Burton, who expects to make his home in Midvale, returned within the last year after spending three years in the Society Islands as head of the L. D. S. mission there. He had previously filled a three-year mission in the islands between 1915 and 1918. While on his last stay there he met the members of the Byrd Antarctic party, and on Monday of this week, received a letter from two members of the expedition. The letter, Mr. Burton said. was mailed from the southernmost point of civilization, a place called "Little America." In 1928, when the Byrd party was traveling south, they stopped in the Tahitian Islands where Mr. Burton met them. The letter was from Frank Davia, a Canadian lcientist, and Paul Siple; the Boy Scout chosen from all the scout organizations to accompany the expedition. The letter told of trouble they had with their ship, the "City of New York" when the lee floea battered the boat's sides. No damage, however, was done to the ship or members of the expedition. |
