Show EL •By The Editor • The basketball game and entertainment, staged by the Kiwanis club on Thursday night of last week, was a success from every angle. The capacity crowd enjoyed both the game and the program, and the receipts totaled well over $100, which will be given to the Jordan district selective service committee for their project. The participants in the game and program, and all who had a part in the affair deserve a hearty vote of thanks. • Teachers of the local schools put in a lot of overtime last week in handling the registration for war ration book No. 2. The entire registration was taken care of by the teachers and other citizens, all of whom donated their services for this important work. The Midvale schools registered over 4000 ration card applicants. Ten to 15 minutes was required for registering each person, so you can see how great was the task.
