A good attendance of members is urged. Down! Up! Down again! That was the situation as the Bears dropped both games of the week end doubleheader last Friday and Saturday, both of which were played on the Bears home court. In the first round, which pitted the Bears against the Logan high Grizzlies, found the Bears unable to hit with any consistency and the Logan quintet rolled to a win. A frantic last minute rally by the Rivermen fell short. This enabled the Grizzlies to gain a fourth place tie with the Bears. Lynn Speth was high point man for Logan with 17, while Emerson Eames had 15, and Phil Smith netted 13. Jack Fronk captured scoring honors for the Bears with 15, while Bob Woodhead potted 12. In the Saturday night tussel the Rivermen encounted a very big Weber team and fell before the warriors onslought During the first half the Bears played very good ball, and walked off the court with a lead at half time. In the third canto the Weberites poured on the steam netting 21 points while the Bears were held scoreless, thus giving the warriors lead at the end of three quarters. In the last quarter the Bears regained their shooting eye somewhat, but could not close the large gap. This leaves the Bears with a record for the year. the Rivermen invade Box Elder and will meet the Bees on their court. Box Elder also has a record and if Friday's game is anything like the others of the last few years it should be a honey.

Contracts for the project are to be let February 10, according to Mr. Chiodo, but the failure of the company to secure easement for the telephone lines may hold up the projet for an indefinite time. Property owners who have requested telephone service, are not now willing to give eases for the ments and extension of the company's lines Mr. Chiodo stated. The management of the telephone company also points out that as the line is for local service and in general will add to the value of the owner's pro perty, the company is not permitted to pay for the easements. The working of the extension right-of-way- project is as folows: Bids to be opened February 10, 1953. Line construction is scheduled to be completed by September 1, 1953. Service should be available about February 1, 1954. The telephones will be installed from September 1, to November 1, 1953. Howell is the only community that has given a complete easeto the ment and right-of-wa- y telephone company, thus far. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Laub and Mr. and Mrs. S. B.
