Game time is 8 p. m. The game will .give local fans a hint as to whether the Murray aggregation is a state Class B title threat this year. Last year's team was rated among the best in the state, losing only to Tooele, state runnerup, in a Region 2 playoff game. Coaches Allan Davis and Max Tolbert have sent the Spartans through some rugged scrimmage sessions this week, hoping to get the boys in condition for tonight's game. Wednesday night they held an hour and a half workout under the lights at Sandy City baseball park. The Murray coaches are enthused with the team's spirit, which they reported is comparable to the drive that won the local squad many acclaims last year.

Thirty-fiv- e members and businessmen attended the meeting, according to Dr. Bruce J. Parsons, chamber secretary. Discussed at the meeting was a proposed Shoppers' Guide to be published by the chamber, with advertisements of local merchants. No action was taken on the proposal. Also discussed was the governors' action on the proposed "Let's Meet Our Town" sales promotion campaign, aimed at encouraging iMurray residents to shop In Murray. The chamber's board had held several meetings on the project, but the plan has been tabled at least temporarily. It was being proposed by a national advertising firm and represented by Boyd Nerdin, who this week was appointed chief of police in Bingham.

Meanwhile, Ron Hendricks, chairman of the membership committee, is preparing a membership drive, which aims to sign up every businessman in the city. &3r., Hrs. Robins Enjoy Bank Meet Mr. and Mrs. H.
