Show WHY GALENA DAYS? On Scptemlier 2!)-.'!0 the entire Bingham district will endeavor to put on a celebration which will call the attention of the state of Utah to iSintfham's interesting history, her triumphant present and Iter promising future. The sponsorship sponsor-ship of the junior chamber of commerce, the cooperation of every resident should make it easily possible for the Galena Days fete to be an outstanding success. Parades, fight cards, football game, dances and a program pro-gram will be among the diversions that will entertain Galena Days celebrants. Atmosphere for the festivities will be supplied sup-plied by the costumes of male residents, reminiscent of hard-rock hard-rock miners and prospectors of the 1800's. The period of Bingham's most rapid growth, when there were nearly as many citizens quartered in boarding houses as homes and the .'!0-odd saloons had more patrons than the post office, will be recalled by floats in the parade and the stories recounted by Old Timers, for whom Galena Days will mean home coming. Galena Days promise to offer new heights in community entertainment and that Bingham residents have caught the spirit of the occasion is shown by the fine responses they are making to requests for early preparation. This evident enthusiasm en-thusiasm makes the careful planning, hard work and civic cooperation easier, and gives everyone a sense of personal satisfaction. More serious pur).se underlying the fun will be the desire de-sire of its sponsors to honor those whose courage, foresight and resourcefulness put and keep Bingham at the top as site of the world's largest copper producing mine and Utah's most imjwrtant mining district. Bingham district residents have a right to lie proud of their home. Galena Days is our chance to show the world we are conscious of Bingham's distinctions. The celebration should be a worthy tribute to the city and to those "Old Timers" Tim-ers" who shared in its upbuilding. Let's make it just that |
