V 1 EXCELLENT TALK FEATURES FOURTH PROGRAM MONDAY i American Privileges Are Th Dearest Possession, Says Judge "No president, no supreme court, nor any governor of any state should become all power-ful in this country. Majorities of today have no right to trespass on the inalienable rights of the majorities of tomorrow", said Judge Reva Beck Boson e In an Independence day address given at the Princess theatre this week. The speaker said she welcom-ed the opportunity to speak la Bingham Canyon, first, because Bingham was one Utah communi-ty which had retained the savor of pioneer days and the charm of western hospitality. "No one can say they know Utah thor-oughly unless they have been to Bingham." "Secondly", said Judge Boson e-- " worn en are rarely asked to speak on occasions such as the Fourth of July," and lastly, because she welcomed an "opportunity to pour out the reverence she felt for the United States.", American privileges and Am-erican Independence and liberty are the dearest heritages of citi-zens In this country. In closing Judge Boson e men-tioned the gratitude, reverence and devotion we owe this country . as Americans.

PROVO TRIUMPHS OVER GEMMELL IN EXHIBITION GAME Ablett Short Many Regulars In Fourth of July Game At Provo Celebrating the Fourth of July in grand style, the Provo Tlmps won an exhibition game from the local Gemmell club Sunday by a score of 8-- 6. Although Gemmell collected 11 hits as compared with 9 for Provo, the locals could not group them effectively. Sammy Christensen handled the mound duties for Provo while Vranes and Fish tossed for Gem-mell. Manager Al Ablett was missing several regulars and had to use himself at short, Lunner at third, Spera in centerfield, Harrison at right field and Pier-ce on second base. Gemmell staged quite a rally in the 8th inning when they pushed over two runs to throw a scare into the Provo boys. : O Mrs. Miles Hartman and dau-ghter Mary Miles Hartman of Pasadena, California, arrived Sat-urday to be guests of Mrs. Hart-man- 's son-in-la- w and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Bird. The Hartmans are former residents of this city. O Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Stlllman and family left Friday for Sho-shone, Idaho, returning Wednes-day. Mr. Stlllman is enjoying his two week vacation from postof-flc- e duties. CIVIC LEADER OF BINGHAM PASSES Vernon Bailey Jones, a resi-dent of Bingham for forty-thre- e years, and one of the members of the first town board when the town was incorprated in 1904, died at his home Sunday even-ing. Mr. Jones was 73 years old and was born December 12, 1863, in Sutton, Quebec, Canada, to Albert H. and Julia Miller Jones. Besides serving on the town board, Mr. Jones was a deputy county sheriff under Sheriff John N. Corliss. He was a charter mem-ber of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and belonged to the Epis-copal church. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Margaret Jones, Bingham; three daughters, Mrs. Melba Woods and Mrs. Wilva May Andreason, Hol-lywood, California; and Miss Lola Jones, Bingham; a son, Boyd Jones, Bingham, and a sister, Mrs. Fred Gatlay, Mansonville, Quebec. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon in the Bing-ham Mortuary with Bishop Da-vid Lyon officiating. Burial was in the new Bingham cemetery up Dry Fork canyon. o : : Fourth of July Parade Paragraphs : : AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA WWW w w w The parade this year was smal-ler than in past years, despite the fact that prizes were offered the best floats. A number of busi-ness houses who have entered floats yearly did not do so this year. One explanation that has been offered is that business has been so much better for the ma-jority that they did not have time free to plan and decorate float entries. Just tne same, their partici-pation was missed. And one' can't help but wonder where the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts and the other 50 per cent of the Firemen were. West's Furniture entered the prize-winnin- g float, and it seemed to be a popular choice as first. A white and green cottage on a white base with Loretta Robison and Leon Raw-lins wearing traditional formal bridal costume standing to the fore of the dream cottige was the romantic and ottractivo theme. Expenditure of much time and work by its creator, James West, was evidenced. While the number of floats this year was few, It doubt-ful if many of us will ever again have the opportunity to see a float reaching the high standard of excellence the Bingham Canyon hospital en-tr- y did. For those who are not totally ignorant about mines (and there are cwtainly few in Bingham who can plead guilty there) the float was most interesting as an authen-- www www tic representation of mine safe-ty work. In a mining district there is little of more interest ..lan (he campaign to save lives and limbs that mine safe-ty men ' and mine hospitals an-nually wage under , the guid-ance of the United States bur-eau of mines. Constructed of brattice cloth to show the opening of a mine shaft from which came smoke of a burning fuse, the entry featur-ed three miners posed at the shaft opening. All wore regula-tion mine clothes and hard boil-ed hats. Two of the men wore mine rescue helmets. The third figure was on a mine car still on the tracks, obviously recently in-jured. Respirators, stretchers, blankets, regulation first aid equipment were all in evidence. Many noticed the carbide-lam- p initials burned onto the mine timbers, a common practice miners. Many Bingham residents felt that the float is truly remark-able and one which would win high honors in the Covered Wa-gon days parade as a Bingham Canyon entry, if there is any as-surance that Judges were well informed. There is nothing that could be more representative of this Canyon. The entry was giv-en the highest possible popular praise, which is, after all, the best recognition. The Bingham Merc, float was white and blue and was most attractive. The important thing to remember when viewing a parade is to give credit for community spirit to those who year after year go to the work and expense of preparing floats for public enjoyment. The Bingham Merc, float won third place. Children were pleased with the Utah Livery red, white and blue float from which wax paper-wrappe- d candy was thrown to by-standers. Adderley-Nichol- s had a new International pick-u- p truck de-corated attractively as their en-try. An outstanding entry, one of the beautiful floats everyone finds attractive, was decorated and entered by the Elva-Rut- h Shoppe managers. The base of the float was represented by the ruffled skirt of an old fash-ioned lady and was in pastel pink tints. Miss Ruth Prig-mor- e, tiding on the float, wore a pink dress with a big horse-hair garden hat and made a charming dresden-lik- e picture, everyone was pleased with se-lection of this float as a prize winner. The four bands, Bingham com-munity, Copperton, Bingham Cen-tral and the 222 National guard band added a great deal to the day's festivities. The community owes the Jordan school district gratitude for Instituting the sum-mer band program. The Junior chamber of commerce officers can be proud that their first project, raising money to complete the (Continued on page four) TWO SMALL FIRES HAPPEN MONDAY For awhile Monday night it looked like Firemen would have a busy twenty-fou- r hours. Rush-ed with details of the Independ-ence day celebration which they sponsor annually, the Firemen had to stop preparations for fire-works display long enough to put out a .fire in a high tension line pole behind the Gemmell club. A cross arm on the pole had burned in two before a fire crew could reach the scene. Little damage was reported. A (ire in the city hall caused city officers some excitement the same evening when a mattress caught flam from a cigarette. Six (prisoners were being held and were taken from the jail until the police force extinguish-ed the blaze with the cityhall utility hose. gER OF MRS.
