LIONS CLUB HOLDS DISCUSSION ABOUT COMMUNITY CHEST At the regular semi-month- ly meeting of the Bingham Canyon Lions club held Tuesday evening discussion was held concerning a Community Chest for Bing-ham Canyon. Representatives from the Spanish Fork chamber of commerce were present and explained how they formed a community group to do away with promiscuous solicitation of business houses. William R. Taylor, president of the Spanish Fork chamber of commerce, and L. F. Smith, H.W. Elmer, Joseph Hansen and Jex Boyack were present and ex-plained workings of the chest. Representatives from local or-ganizations in attendance were: Mrs. Harley English and Mrs. Paul Erz, Women's Civic club; Dale Johnston, junior chamber of commerce; Mrs. John T. West, fire ladies auxiliary No. 2; Mrs. Joe Sullivan, American Legion auxiliary; L. F. Pott, chairman of Bingham Canyon Boy Scout council. The plan at Spanish Fork has eliminated approximately 90 per cent of solicitation of business houses, Mr. Taylor said. During the fall of each year a budget is set-u- p on the expenditures to be made by' organizations for community activities the follow-ing year. When the budget is ar-ranged a drive is made to collect these funds. After funds are col-lected the amount required by each organization is turned over to them at the time they need it. This method of raising funds is considered superior to the one now in effect in Bingham. It eli-minates continuous solicitation from business houses, mining companies, organizations, and in-dividuals. It would also assure sponsoring groups monies to car-ry out their welfare projects each year. C CAVE-I- N VICTIMS LASTJUTES SET Robert F.
