These awards were made at the closing exercises of the school, but as there was some delay in getting the medals made they were not given to the students at that time. They were mailed to the students this week. Duane Ballard was awarded the medal at the Jordan high school, and Sammie V.'hitmore was the winner at the Midvale Junior high school. The medals are of silver, with the Lions' emblem, an "L," in the center, and the name of the pupil is engraved on the back. At the meeting of the Lions club last Thursday evening it was decided to discontinue the bi-weekly meetings for the summer and to hold an outing at some of the nearby resorts once a month. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for these outings. UTAH OIL WINS FROM AMERCIAN LEGION TEAM Tuesday evening a practice game with Utah Oil of Salt Lake was played on the local grounds, with Utah Oil winni.ng 9 to 8, after a bitter struggle all the way. Five of the Salt Lake boys played on the Telegram team of last year, which won the state champion!:'hip. The extra age and size, plus experience, gave them an advantage which was hard for the local midgets to overcome. Herman Franks, East High's star allaround athlete, put the game away in 'he thircl when he slammed a home run, with two on, after two were out ~he locals kept fighting away, mixing hits with walks, but fell one short of tying in the ninth when three were chased acros3 on a single, a walk, and two doubles in a row. f:o'rank Canning made six putouts in center, three being of a spectacular variety. He also led off with a home run in the eighth. As this was a practice game, anrl the next league game is Fl'irlay, \vith West Jordan three pitchers were used, as no chances to develop sore arms are being taken. The score: MIDVALE AB. R. H. PO. A.

I °: SOUTH JORDAN WARD TO CELEBRATE FOURTH I POSSIBILITIES OF LOCAL PROJECT \V. L. Dean of Topeka, Kans., was a recent visitor in Midvale, looking over the poultry project of the Midvale Home Finance Corporation. Mr. Dean expressed great satisfaction with the development and is submitting to local people a financial program which will mean a great deal to the poultry Industry in this section. The resources of the company with which Mr. Dean is connected runs into many millions of dollars. Other visitors of the past week to look over the project were Thos. T. Taylor, Jr., Mr. Heslet and Mr. Fitchen, financiers of Butte, Mont., who spent two days in Midvale consulting with officials of the local corporation. Before leaving they closed negotiations to handle the financing for present and future development of the enterprise. These gentlemen, in connection with other financial institutions, operate the second largest building and loan company in the intermountain country. • Work on the new sub-division is progressing satisfactorily and at the present time the brick work has been completed on six of the houses, and thirty-two of the coops are 90 per cent completed. So great has been the demand for home in this development that the second unit of eighteen homes has been sold and construction will be completed scme time this fall. The company had not intended to place this unit on the market until next spring. The construction of this second unit will bring forty-three new families into Midvale this year. George M. Turpin, poultry expert of the corporation, is having wonderful success with the chickens. The mortality rate to date has been very low, and many of the birds will weigh one pound eac~ at the age of five weeks. At present there are around 95,000 chickens on the project and 30,000 more baby chicks are being received this week. Four Boys' Ball Teams Are Organized in City The boys' baseball league, sponsored by the Journal and the Midvale praygrounds, will get under way next Monday. Games will be played Mondays and Tl:>ursdays throughout the summer, so lots of fun is in store for the boys. The complete schet4ule will be published in next week's issue. Four teams comprise the league: the Athletics, captained by James Kemp; the Juniors, by Captain Lloyd, and teams captained by Harold Landers and George Vakovich. Monday, June 30, Landers' teams will play that of Captain Lloyd, while on Thursday, July 3, the teams of Kemp and Vakovich will clash. All games start at 4:30 p. m. ------ CUSTOMER GETS BENEFITS OF REDUCED PRICES NEW YORK, June 25.-Material reductions in the base prices of a wide variety of articles have resulted in a •general re-pricing of these items by our 1450 stores, with the new levels representing a substantial increase in the customer's buying power, according to a statement released here today by Earl C. Sams, president of J. C. Penney company. "Commodity prices, particularly in staple lines, have been declining for some time past," Mr. Sams states, ·•and orders now being delivered to our stores are on a lower basis, enabling us to pass on the consequent savings to our customers. "There have been notable reductions so far in silk piece goods, silk hosiery and other items which have heen affected by the general decline in the price of raw silk. Among these are flat crepes, georgettes, c;atin crepes and other silks which show very substantial reductions. Some of our own well known brands of silk hosiery are today priced lower ~han at any time since the war. • "In men's and boys' work clothes equivalent reductions have been made by the manufacturers and these reductions are today reflected in the price tags on these items in our stores. "A trend towards lower prices has been indicated by leaders in other industries and has been given considerable attention in trade and business magazines during the past month. "In making these new low retail prices we feel we are bridging the gap between the new lower wholesale prices and the prices to the consuming public and are therefore contributing directly to the re-establishment of greater confidence both by the manufacturer and by the buying public. "This readjustment in prices throughout our stores is a direct result of savings passed on from the mills and manufacturers, and now made available to our customers throughout the country." SACRAMENT MEETING Sacrament meeting will be held Sunday evening at 8 o'clock in the Midvale Second ward. The speaker will be Charles S. Hyde, of the presidency of the Ensign stake. |
