Since his toy factories are not required to observe the 40-ho- ur week and are working overtime, the supply of toys this year will be equal to the great demand. Indeed, so far ahead of schedule are his workmen that he will be free to make a visit to Bingham to find out for himself just how many boys and girls here are counting 6n his Christmas call and exactly what they want. ' Santa will arrive near . the Copperfield Bingham tunnel' portal on upper Main street at 5 p. m. tomorrow, Saturday, November 23. and will accom-pany the children to the Prin-cess theatre for a free show. After the movie ' , each child present will be given a treat by Santa. Children, their parents and Santa Claus are then in-vited to visit all stores which will be open for a display of Christmas gifts and toys. While the children are in the theatre parents will be welcome to make their own tour of the stores, which will be open until 7 p. m- - and will have displays of toys and gift merchandise. Pur-chases may be made during the opening. Stores that will be open are: Bingham Mercantile company, J. C. Penney Co., Bingham Radio Shop, Safeway Stores, Webb Drug, Sturm's cafe, Bingham cafe, Lendaris Mercantile .Co., James Variety Store,. West's Furniture Co-Mai-street will be gaily de-corated with Christmas lights, which have been installed this week by Utah Power and Light company crews. J. William Grant, C E. Adder ley and H. F. Dunn are in charge of arrangements.o To Make Personal Appearance Sports Here and There By Al Ablett Well, our football team lost-S-what? They played the way we want to see a Bingham team play. Clean, hard football every minute of the game. The score was Morgan 14, Bingham 0. When I think of the schedule the Min-ers played! Minnesota had a snap. Bingham played Jordan, Gran-ite, Davis, all A teams with plenty of replacements, and played them to a standstill- Out-weighed in almost every game and playing without relief, it was too much to expect that they should go through to the title without defeat. This isn't an ali-bi, because if you saw them play' you know they do not need any apologies. They played every game right up to the hilt, tak-ing the bad breaks as they came. So this season goes down in my book as one of B.H S.'s most successful. The boys deserve all the credit in the world. Frank Nelson at end and Albino Lopez at guard are my nominations for all state berths. Bill Cowley has a team at Mor-gan that will take some A-- l playing to beat. They play Rich-field in the finals at the Ute's stadium today (Friday). The re-ports from Richfield are that they have a big fast team, so the game today should be a thriller. Jordan plays Carbon high school from Price in the finals for the A championship Satur-day. Jordan beat Ogden and Carbon downed Provo in the semifinals last week. The Beet-digge-are a typical Snide Taylor team while Carbon is one of the biggest high school teams in the state. Pres Sum-merha-has them playing heads up ball. They beat Jor-dan in a pre-seaso- n game, but in football previous games don't mean a thing. So when these two teams square off Saturday it will be Lions and Tigers, every man for himself. By beating Colorado Aggies last Saturday Utah insured at least a tie for the Big Seven championship. Colorado U. and Denver U. play Thursday and the winner will share the title. It's my hope they play a tie. Utah plays Idaho Thursday and should have an easy win. B. Y. U. plays Colorado Aggies Saturday and should down them easily. Utah Aggies take on the tail-en- d Wyoming club Saturday. The Farmers should whitewash them to end the season with a win. Minnesota takes on Wisconsin in their final Saturday. The Golden Gophers are expected to finish an unbeaten season- - After Iowa taking Notre Dame and Dartmouth's win over Cornell, one can never tell- - Iowa beat Notre Dame and it isn't anything new. They have done it every time they have played them. If I am not mis-taken Notre Dame came to Iowa in 1922 with a string of 22 vic-tories and a great team to be beaten 10-- But Iowa, at that time coached by Howard Jones, had the greatest team in the his-tory of the school and went two years-and-a-ha- lf without losing a game. Besides Notre Dame they beat a good Yale team outside the conference. Last year the score was 7 to 6 for Iowa. So it looks like Iowa has the Indian sign on the Irish. I think that game will make the South Bend-ers tough to take from here in- - Cornell dropped from the un-beaten ranks after they thought they had won. This one has me stumped. I wonder where the headlinesman was on that fifth down. In the Navy-Notr- e Dame game a mistake was made by the referee that gave the Irish nine precious yaras m me unve m scored the winning touchdown. In the Ohio State-Purdu- e game an illegal player scored the field goal that won that game. It all leads up to the fact that even the best of them make mistakes-Stanford'- wonder team kept rolling, beating Oregon state by the comfortable margin of 25 to 7. With a week's rest be-fore they take on California and with Siandlee in shape, I don't see how they can miss the Rose bowl. Texas Aggies are idle this week, so the coaches in that part of the country can draw a deep breath. (Continued on page seven) ANNUAL RABBIT HUNT IS SUNDAY The annual Bingham volunteer firemen's rabbit hunt, which is open to the public, will be held at Promotory Point, 28 miles west of Brigham City, Sunday, November 24- Those attending are to leave the Bingham cafe at 5:30 a. ro-und will be joined at Murray by No. 1 county firemen and Mur-ray firemen. The hunters will leave here in a caravan of private cars. Those in charge, John Creedon, Clin-ton Robison, Jack Householder, John O'Brien, Parker Gray, J. L. Householder, John West and La-ve- ll Timothy have been inform-ed that hunting is good. Anyone desiring further infor-mation is asked to call the Bing-ham Meat comopany. EXAMS TO PLACE MANYJVORKERS Merit system examinations prior to appointment of more than 400 workers in the State and County departments of Pub-lic Welfare will be given next month at centrally located points throughout the state, it was an-nounced today by John C- - Kid-neig- h, Merit System supervisor for the state department of pub-lic welfare. The examinations will be the first step towards placing the largest group of workers in the state of Utah ever to be on the merit system on thl3 program which is intended to give the jobs to best qualified workers with-out regard to social, religious or political connections, Mr. Kid- - neigh said. Hugo B. Anderson, chairman of the Merit System council, ex-plained that the state and county departments of public welfare now employ some 425 persons- - "Any of these employes em-ployed prior to January 1, 1940 who pass the examinations re-quired for their positions," he pointed out, "may be retained in their positions. However, it is expected that some new ap-pointments will be made immedi-ately upon completion and grad-ing of the merit examinations. All future vacancies in the de-partment also will be filled from persons winning highest ranks on the merit registers to be made up from those who pass the ex-aminations." Workers in 33 classifications and nine groups will be employ-ed on a basis of the merit ex-aminations. These include stenographers, typists, key punch operators, clerks of various rank, statistic-ians, accountants, case workers for various special and general fields, child welfare workers, consultants, field representatives, home economists, county direc-tors, administrative assistants and executive positions. Any persons interested in tak-ing the examinations should write to the Merit System Super-visor, 510 Beason Building, Salt Lake City, requesting an an-nouncement of examinations and an application form. When the application form is filled in, returned and accepted, the applicant will be notified of examination dates. If the appli-cation is rejected, the individual will be notified at once with reasons. Examinations are to be both written or oral, or both, in some cases, and include a rating of training and experience, or in some others, a performance test. No prescribed study material is provided by the council. The last date upon which ap-plications will be received for next month's examinations will be December 10. O M.

Jen-sen, superintendent. The speaker will be Mr. Julian Thomas who has been living in France the past twenty years. He left France approximately six weeks ago and has had first hand experience as to conditions pre-vailing in Europe, as a result of the invasion of the coast coun-tries by the Nazi. Dr. Jensen asks that the audi-torium be filled to capacity on that date.

All aliens, 14 years of age and older, must register in person and be fingerprinted. Alien children, under 14, must be registered by their parents or guardians. Registration takes place at the post offices. There is no charge of any kind connected with alien registra-tion. The department of justice warns aliens to beware of racket-eers. The post office department and the department of justice will willingly assist the alien in every possible way. Earl G. Harrison, director of alien registration of the depart-ment, suggests that those aliens who have not yet registered do so as soon as possible and avoid the Christmas rush at the post offices. All aliens are also warned that, having registered, they are re-quired to report any change in their permanent residence ad-dress within five days to the im-migration and naturalization ser-vice of the department of justice in Washington. Forms for this purpose are obtainable at all post offices. No alien need be unprepared for the questions he will be ask-ed. Sample registration forms which show him exactly what information he will need at re-gistration are available in all post offices. To date 434 of the estimated 500 aliens in Bingham district have been registered, according to Postmaster Earl T. James- Thanksgiving; Basket ' Deliveries Reported An allowance of $25 from the Community Chest and donations of canned goods from pupils of the Bingham Central, Copperton grade and Bingham high schools made possible the 21 generously-fille- d Thanksgiving baskets ar-ranged by the Women's Civic club welfare committee for dis-tribution in .

Each school will play two games with the other three schools in its own district and one game with the schools in the other division, making a ten-gam- e schedule. Details of the hoop sport cam-paign were settled by coaches and principals of schools in Jor-dan and summit districts, Re-gion two of the Utah High School Athletic association Saturday in Salt Lake City. Those present voted against having any school play more than twice, following the close of the schedule, to rate a place in the state classic. If three schools should finish in a tie for third place in the Jordan district then these three, together with the second-plac- e five in Summit dis-trict, would play a single elimina-tion requiring a two-gam- e series to determine the fourth team to rate a tournament berth. The first and second-plac- e teams in Jordan and the winner in Sum-mit qualify for three of the four places allotted to Region two. In case more than four teams are involved in the play-of- f then a special committee will determine the plan to be used, this com-mittee to be selected by chair-man of Region two.
