LOST: BINGHAM CANYON CIVIC CENTER FOUND AT 310 MAIN STREET Early in 1935 the American Legion post No. 30 investi-gated possibility of converting the old high school gymnasium into a Civic Center. A lease was obtained from Jordan school board through the town of Bingham Canyon. In March, 1935, individual Legionnaires began work on the building, which was thoroughly cleaned up, window glass replaced, plastering, cleaning and painting walls and ceilings, sanding and varnishing floors, repairs to the roof, replacing frozen and broken pipes and overhauling the heat-- J ing system completed. J"? During 1935 a total of 2737 man-hour- s of labor ver1 donated by Legionnaires. In January of this year, after the Civic Center has been used for over three years by Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, many town organizations, the Legion post decided they could no longer maintain the building or make necessary improve-- j menls. The Jordan school district board of education deeded the building and an adjoining vacant school building to the city. Concluding with a recommen-dation that Bingham Canyon re-sidents become "Civic Center conscious", Miss Dorothy Ed-wards, Salt Lake City Girls Scout director who visited the local troop Monday evening, told of a one hour delay she had experi-enced in finding the building. Six different people questioned on Main street as to the where-abouts of the Center told her variously that (a) there was no such building; (b) it was in High-land Boy; (c) it was an old school building but that if she went to the Center she would find no Girl Scouts. Much to her surprise Miss Ed-wards finally arrived at the Cen-ter and found a group of 35 en-thusiastic Scouts, several moth-ers, Miss Beth Christensen, lead- - visit was to advise the Bingham troop of the fine summer pro-gram planned for Girls Scouts at Camp Cloud Rim near Park City which will be open this summer from July 1 to mid-Augu- st and has accommodations for 60 girls at a time. Scouts may enjoy horse back riding, swimming, art and nature study and instruction in Scout activities, along with board for $8.50 a week. Girl Scouting is receiving new impetus from a recent change in work, Miss Edwards said. Cours-es are arranged in ten divisions which includes sports, nature, dramatics, dancing, child care, etc. A scout may select any div-ision and proficiency in the pre-ferred subject entitles her to a second class badge. er, and Mrs. S.
