Klines employes or residents of Bingham Canyon now work-ingl- at the Hidden Treasure mine in pphir district, Tooele county, were fortunate in escaping death in the snow slide Sunday after-noon. The most spectacular escape wai that of Dormus N. Larsen, shift boss whose family lives at 13 Markham here. He was chang-ing his clothing when the slide struck the bunkhouse and cover-ed It in ten feet of snow. He cut his fway through a two-by-fo- ur and! the bunkhouse wall with a pociet knife and, naked, tunnel-ed is way through the snow to safety. He is recovering at his home from a slight cold. ?Jjick Melton, now reported in --oo condition at the Bingham hospital, suffered severe injuries in the slide. Mr. Melton worked it tl. S. Mines in 1935-3- 6 and quit work to go to California just! before the strike in 1936. lis residence is at 574 Downing- - Another victim of the slide whais recovering at the Bingham iHKjiital, Alton Johnson, was rjevfir employed at the U.

Rogers of Salt Lake City, a member of the state bar commission, was principal speaker at the annual dinner meeting of Canyon lodge F. & A. M. No. 13 at the Masonic hall Tuesday evening in observance of their thirty-secon- d anniver-sary. Choosing "Americanism" as his theme, the speaker denounc-ed all foreign "isms' and stated that there is no room in United States for propagandists of for-eign dictators. "There is only one thing to tell advocates of dictatorship, and that is that if they wish that type of govern-ment the place for them is Ger-many, Russia or Italy." Rogers said he did not "mind an American citizen criticizing government activities but I will not tolerate an alien coming to oi'r shores and advocating hate, sabotage and murder." He went on to comment on the disgracefulness of the Nazi (Am-erican bund) meeting held in New York City last week when members of that organization dressed in the uniform of Ger-man storm troopers carried the Nazi flag ahead of the stars and stripes, gave the salute of a for-eign country and ridiculed of-ficials of this country. He read Washington's Fare-well address and Lincoln's Get-tysburg address. B. J. Santistevan acted as toastmaster. John Robertson, the only charter member present, gave a history of Canyon lodge. He stated the lodge was organiz-ed in 1907 and told of the pro-gress it has made. Elliott W. Evans gave a short talk on the lodge and introduced Mr. Rogers. W. J. Goddard, grand lecturer, was present. Grant Hodges and Basil Doman were in charge of the dinner. Two Business Houses Change Their Location Two changet were made in location of business houses this week. West's Furniture com-pany moved their store from the Masonic building to the Cornet store building across the street and the Bulletin moved its equipment and of-fice into the quarters vacated by West's. The Bulletin, formerly the Bingham News, had beea lo-cated in the Bourgard build-ing since 1921. Purchase of a large automatic press, a lino-type machine and new type in the last three years left the shop and office crowded. To permit improvement con-templated the change was ac-complished before any further equipment could be added. West's Furniture hopes all old friends and new custom-ers will call at their new loca-tion. Norge refrigerators and electric stoves and an entire line of household furnishings are on sale here. The same service as given purchasers in the past is assured, accord-ing to James West, manager. SPORTS SPOTLIGHT ON BINGHAM AT GRANITEJONITE After studying the record the dopesters have it that Granite is sure to take the Miner's pay dirt their certainty of entering the annual state championship tour-nament March 15-1- 8 at Salt Lake City in the game tonight at Granite. There are possibilities which could modify that outcome. Gra-nite is not entirely invincible, they were defeated by Murray two weeks ago and by the law of averages Bingham is due to show the championship playing they revealed in games against Jordan and Murray. The homej team has been hampered by ab-sence of main stringers because of injuries the past two games. A win for Bingham would be a surprise victory and in the event they won and Davis wins from Grantsville, Granite, Davis and Bingham would tie for first. The flip of a coin would decide first, second and third position of the three teams. A loss for the Miners and a win for Davis would place Davis and Granite in the tourney and leave Bingham tied with the winner of the Murray-Jorda- n game for third place. After a playoff the winner would meet North Summit, runner-u- p from Summit district, for tourney en-trance. The Davis game last Friday was an interesting one the first half when the score stood 15-1- favor of the Kaysville crew. Vic-tory hopes of Bingham rooters began wilting in the third canto when Hatch scored five goals one after another and Eli Sasich went out on fouls. Despite substitu-- j tions and attempts to find the right combination to hold Davis, they swept ahead to leave Bing-ham outmastered 43-3- 0. Rolland Mayne led Bingham scoring. Frank Callen and Emil Pollick played good ball and Tregaskis garnered five points the short while he was in. Ger-ald Larsen continues to show an improved game as guard. Sergio Alvarez scored a sensational basket, a one handed shot from the corner. REGION TWO Jordan District Won Lost Pet.

O JUNIOR HIGH TEAM HAS GOIp RECORD Coach Bailey Santistevan's junior high basketball team step-ped into a tie with Riverton for second place by virtue of their 36 to 20 victory over Midvale junior high Tuesday noon. The team, made up entirely of ninth grade boys, was gradually whipped into shape and brought to ' a winning' combination. Lack of experience accounted for the loss of their first two games by narrow margins. Four straight wins followed: defeat of Sandy junior high, West Jordan junior high, Draper junior high and Midvale junior high. It is doubtful if any junior high team in the district could defeat Bingham junior high at present The team includes Don Poul-se- n, Glen Sheen, John Suseata, Harold Bianchi, John Callen, Clyde Nichols, Jack Thurmond, Gene Goff, George Pollick, Bob-by Overson, Kay Nelson, Bob Nichols and Ralph Densley. The development and success of the junior team is important to the high school as it is from their ranks future stars are ex-pected to come.

FUND DRIVE FOR SLIDE VICTIMS IS LENGTHENED The drive for funds for re-habilitation of Highland Boy families left destitute by the re-cent snow slide, which was to have ended February 28, has been extended by the Bingham snow slide relief committee to March 10.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WINNING ESSAY m m m mmm a "Why I Am Glad I'm an American" by Yukio Ishimaisui, 8th Grade I who can be said to be born under two flags, can gratefully say, "I'm an American citizen." I have more advantages and gre-ater opportunity to become what I would really like to be such would not be the case if I had chosen my parents' homeland citizenship. I realize deeply that I have made a better choice in selection of my citizenship rights a selection I shall and will nev-er regret. I am given a more than liberal education to help me in my fu-ture. This would not be if I were not an American. Instead I would be placed in a school where I would be taught to fight. Instead of being taught something use-ful, I would be taught the de-structions of war. I would have had to train rigidly for a future, not of hope, but a future of dark-ness and ruin. My life would not be my own to use to guide, my blood, not my own blood. No freedom of speech, but an inner soul filled with heartaches. Nothing to gain, everything to lose gone would be my dreams, my hopes, my ambitions. That historic day of 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed will always stand out as the most important day in the history of our nation, because it was a beginning of our nation. Had it not been for the courage of the signers of the Declaration there might be no United States of America. Instead, we might still be only subjects to a king. And so I say when we discuss our most cherished possessions, that mine is the liberty which our statesmen forefathers declar-ed theirs in 1776. I feel proiicl and joyous to read about men who fought and died to preserve our liberty giving each of us a rich heritage of liberty and hope. That liberty bestowed upon me through my citizenship, and will al-ways be mine so long as 1 obey the laws of my country. It is more than a relief to know that the "land of the free" is not under the rulership of some gras-ping, military men who con-demn free speech, and freedom of the press. We can smile that we have a government controlled by the people, for the people. A government which promotes scout movements, youth education, and better citizenship training. A place where we can take part in the building of our government through votes of our own choice. Laws and bills made by us to help keep our country, home, and loved ones safe. I am also grateful for the train-ing of individual thoughts: such thoughts which have resulted in all our modern home and school conveniences. My country has a higher stan-dard of living and a higher code in life. A symbol, where youth is the hope of tomorrow, not the (Continued On Page 4) . ESSAY I WRITTEN BY POST GRADUATE ' JJ I'm Glad I'm An American I Citizen God, be with the American !ope! Give us loyalty and love Ofir wonderful country. Make ware, Lord, of the duty of ehj of us to uphold our land the strife and misery of e, present world. Help us pre-j'- f our great democracy and iij keep a government of the oppe, by the people, and for e people. Guide our chief ex-utjv- e, and give him strength Jolve his trying problems, us individually to be true ncyican citizens in every sense atthe word implies. Amen. hjs is the prayer in my heart, also should it be in each of r hearts. &1at a joy and pride I find in Y&g "I am an American citi-Li-- J Little do we realize how that means to us. Few of stop to think what an honor i privilege it is to be an Am-citize- n. Millions of people ftfry corner of the world are T!S to come to our country ftmake it their home, where Declaration of Independence, rtred by our brave forefath-'.- f grants them "life, liberty, ifthe pursuit of happiness." -- s us consider the importance ose three promises: First, '.Pave the right to life; my cannot be taken from me jstly or without cause. It proven fairly and legal-fa- t I am guilty of a crime -- crvlng "capital punishment, be- - my life can be taken. My liberty is also guaranteed. I have the right to live in peace and contentment. I may live how and where I wish, go where I choose, say what I please, think as I like, worship as I want, and in general do every-thing I please unless it infringes upon the rights of others. This also applies to our right to the pursuit of happiness in any path we think it lies. How many other countries fulfill these promises to their citizens?, Ours is truly a wonderful country of freedom, joy and peace. You say we have lots of troubles in America? Stop and think, think how small how very small our troubles are in comparison to the terrible things going on "over there". The hor-rible wars, mass bloodshed, op-pression, starvation, dictator-ships, persecution, and all the other things we hear so much about at present. Stop and think of those things and be glad you live in the land of the free! Perhaps if we look at the struggle and strife of other coun-tries, we will better appreciate this land of ours. Take the situ-ation in Germany for instance: Here we find the people living under a dictatorship. They have no personal rights no freedom. Children are forced to attend military training schools; people are allowed to hear only those radio programs their dictator wishes; freedom of speech has been long forgotten.
