Details Galena Days Acts, Parade, Contests Studied At Meeting At a meeting of the Galena Days committee members last Friday evening, budgets for this year's celebration were approved.

V. S. Barlow, general foreman of the Utah Copper company track department, will make ar-rangements for this contest.

Jensen, chairman of the Galena Days parade com-mittee, comes a reminder that now is the time to begin plan-ning Galena Days floats. Mr. Jensen says that prizes will not be given for modernistic floats this year, as it is the desire of the committee to make the par-ade carry out the historical na-ture of the celebration. ENSIGN JENSEN LAST RITES SET SUNDAY, 1 P.M. The death of Ensign A Jen-Se- 22, of Copperton, who was killed almost instantly when run over by an ore car at the Utah Copper company mine Wednes-day at 7:15 a. ni brought sor-row to a wide circle of friends and his family. ' " . ' J, ' ? I s ' " ft ENSIGN JENSEN-fata- lly in-jured in mining acicdent early Wednesday morning. A small slide down an em-bankment north of II bridge on the Carr Fork side of the mine covered a portion of track. Mr. Jensen, a brakeman, riding on a car of the train, saw the slide and was reaching for the tail hose to stop the train, when the front car hit the slide, the im-pact throwing him under the wheels of the car. He was born July 5, li13, in Salt Lake City, a son of George A. and Evelyn Ellen Jensen. He had been employed by the Utah Copper company since his gradu-ation from Bingham high school in 1937. At school he was an all-arou-athlete, playing on the basket-ball, baseball and football teams. He was a member of the Glee club and served on the junior prom committee. Surviving are his parents, with whom he lived in Copperton; a brother, Gordon Jensen, Copper-ton- , and three sisters, Mrs. Thel-m- a Beck of Murray and Maureen and Marilyn Jensen of Copper-ton- . Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Bingham high school auditorium, with Bishop George M. Nix officia- - ting.

Sunday Magna was the victim, 9 to 5, and Wednesday Provo fell by the wayside. 15 to 2. Sunday at Magna Leif Erick- -' son, who has been somewhat of a problem to Gemmell this year, toed the rubber and was greeted by a barrage of base hits that netted four runs with only one man out. Zaccaria climaxed this uprising by bringing his Big Bertha into action and hitting one far over the outfielders' heads for a home run. Merrill Johnson, who took Erickson's place on the hill, was maKing his first appearance against Gemmell this year, and if Merrill has anything to say about it I think it will be his last. He gave up five runs the rest of the way. Bob Detmers, pitching for Gem-mell, had Magna in his hip pock-et for seven frames, but the heat took its toll, and in the eighth when Bob was getting tired, Sammy Oliver took over and ap-plied the brakes the rest of the way. This boy Detmers looks bet-ter every time he goes to the mound. Billy Johnson played shortstop, second and third in this game and looked good at every position, and in addition, is banging the ball at a great clip, too. Wilson got back in for part of the game at second. Looks like his leg is about ready for full time duty again. Wednesday's game against Pro-vo, Clegg was on the mound. This boy looked pretty good against Gemmell in Provo, so Manager Collins elected to start him again. He got by for three innings but was pulled out of some tough spots by the great fielding of Berge the Provo shortstop. But in the third It looked like the Spaulding ball factory had been blown up and "Spot" was right in the middle of it all. Be-fore the side was out, Gemmell had five runs and "Deb" Dudley had replaced Clegg. Dudley turned out to be no mystery to the clubmen. In the end the score read 15 to 2 and Gemmell had gathered 16 hits. Kump, Provo's third baseman, finished the game on the mound. Glen Berge played a great game at shortstop for Provo. He robbed Robertson, Gemmell's catcher, out of two base hits by great stops, and in the first in- - ning ne iook veicneck's line drive with his glove hand, when the ball had base hit written all over it. Zaccaria covered left field like the dew for Gemmell, mak-ing two swell catches. Al Kas-lelli- c could hardly believe his eyes when Dudley went to the mound. Al is the only left hand hitter in the club line-u- p and he has seen nothing but left handers all year. But he is hit-ting around .400, so they don't seem to bother him. Les Sumnicht lead the league last year in hitting and he is up there again. But in that department of runs bat-ted in, Les is away out in front. And if the big boy ever dropped a fly ball I think the fans would faint. Oliver pitched the Provo game and again Sam showed (Continued on page eight) REGISTER EARLY FORJLECTION With Democratic and Repub-lican campaigning begun in earnest, dates of registration, pri-maries, runoff and election are red letter dates on every voter's calendar.

Jackson, 44, of Copperton, an employe of the Utah Copper company, a former Bingham volunteer fireman and member of the Utah State Firemen's as-sociation, were held Monday at 1 p. m. in the Copperton grade school with American Legion post No. 30 in charge. Mr. Jackson died in Provo Thursday of myocardo-insuffici-enc- y. He was born in England Dec-ember 10, 1895, a son of James and Jane Jackson. He had lived here 31 years. He was a former assistant chief of No. 1 company of the Bingham volunteer fire depart- - ment. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Viola Robbins Jackson of Cop-perton; two brothers, William Jackson of Copperton and Ster-ling J. Jackson of Bakersfield, Cal., and two sisters, Mrs. Jack E.

O Mr. and Mrs. Harry McNeely and twin sons, Richard and Den-nis, left Tuesday at 7 a. m. on a Western Air Express plane from Salt Lake City for Yellowstone national park, where they plan to spend 10 days vacationing in the park and at West Yellow-sto- n, Montana. Work Started On Copperton L. D. S. Ward Chapel Architect's Drawing Of Copperton L. D. S. Ward Chapel Now Under Construction. Salt Lake Tnb. stuccoed in pale for eight classrooms. Other rooms are: the bishop's office; Relief society room of liberal dimen-sions, about 26 feet by 14 feet; a large social hall and a Boy Scout room, the latter in the basement. Utility rooms include space for the heating plant, storage, toil-ets and closets. Negotiations for building the church began in 1938, and ap-proval of the plans was given ' May 14, 1940. Of the cost, $27,390 is structural and an estimated 10 per cent of that amount added for furnishings, bringing the whole to the neighborhood of $30,000. R. K. McCollough is the con-tractor. Bishop George M. Nix has lead the ward in working to make the chapel possible. Meet-ings at the present time are con-ducted in the Copperton grade schooL superstructure, terra cotta, an off white, and have a concrete foundation. Compo-sition stone will be used on the exterior and a trim of sheet cop-per. The center spire will be '5Q, or 60 feet high and copper used in its decoration. Grounds will be landscaped, Mr. Poll says. The setting of the church is lovely, and the gulch at the back may be planted and landscaped to lend itself to many purposes. Throughout the interior, walls will be colorfully decorated and finished in enamel. Modern light-ing equipment, a combination of direct-indire- ct lighting and semi-ai- r conditioning are specified in the plans. Rugs and linoleum are to be laid in all rooms and cor-ridors. The chapel will seat 460 peo-ple. Accommodations are provided Copperton will have a valuable community center with comple-tion next spring of the new $30,-00- 0 Copperton L. D. S. ward chap-el on Hillcrest street. The gen-eral church and Copperton ward are sharing equally cost of con-struction. "Our hope and intention is to make a nice addition to the beau-tiful little community of Cop-perton", says Architect Harry P. Poll cf Salt Lake City, who drew the plans subject to the approval of Arthur Price of Salt Lake City, supervising architect of the L. D. S. church.

CHIEF OF POLICE ISSUK NOTICE It has been brought to my attention that numerous boys (presumably Boy Scouts), are in the habit of building camp-fire- s during both day and night of questionable size in gulches in the immediate vicinity ot Bingham and in close proximi-ty of homes. In this modern day of ours, it is no ln9er as important to learn to build a fire as it is to put one out. This time of the year is known the season country over as should be and every precaution taken to prevent spread of me. Scoutmasters should clearly impress this on their proteges and warn them that they should not build fires on the hillsides within the confines of this na row canyon as they may start a brush fire that could wipe out the entire city. Beyond any question of doubt, this is a very further practice and any will be reports as to same thoroughly investigated, c p navies. Chief of Police.
