But strange as it may seem, a great many children are sorry that school is closing, or at least so they say. Altogether they have had a very fine year and have accomplished a great deal. Con-sidering the children who have been transferred into our school we find that we are a bit ahead of practically everyone, regardless of where they came from. On last Tuesday we had our last assembly at which time the Poppy poster contest winners were recognized and given theii prizes by Mrs. Dewey Knudsen and also each child who won his Reading Circle certificate was presented with it. The Poppy poster contest this year, under the direction of Miss Margaret Tholen, was very popular. More children entered it than at any previous time and the ideas worked on were exceptional. The first, second, and third prizes were awarded to Dean String- - ham, George Dimas, and Junioi Pollock, respectively, two of thr sixth grade and one of the fifth grade. Also at the same assem-bly Mrs. David C. Lyon spoke to the children on Americanism and left them grand thoughts. There are seventeen teachers of Jordan district to be married this spring, Miss Grace Nielsen of our second grade being one of them. The Bingham Central fa-culty gave a party last Thursday in Miss Nielsen's honor. We are very sorry to lose Miss Nielsen for she indeed was a splendid teacher, but things of that sort will happen, so wish her the best possible in every respect. We wish to take this opportun-ity to thank the parents of Bing-ham Central most heartily for their spendid support all year, in so many different ways. They have not been called on to do a thing but what they have done it willingly and even have helped when not called on. For instance, not fewer than a dozen mothers went with us last Friday to help in the May Day festival and it surely was appreciated. Coopera-tion in school work between the school and the community is of much importance and we certain-ly have had it, so again, accept our hearty thanks. On last Saturday our Junior Traffic officers went to Salt Lake as guests of Sheriff S. Grant Young. They report a fine time and almost feel sorry that they can't spend another year help-ing in that respect. The boys did some splendid work and who knows but what they saved a life in carefully watching the traffic Ten Years Ago This Week (Taken from the files of the Bingham Bulletin for May 22, 1930.) Steve Strilich, Highland Boy athlete who made a record on the coast in both boxing and wrest-ling, visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Strilich. Known as the "Terrible Swede", he recent-ly boxed Primo Camera and oth-er famous athletes in exhibition matches. Ground was being broken for 30 new homes at Copperton. Building was being done on the north side of the state highway. Construction was in line with policy of the Utah Copper com-pany to build 20-4- 0 homes each year. Fire early the morning of May 18 broke out in the Outlet store next door south of the First Se-curity Bank and considerable damage done. H. Appleman, own-er, said stock was fully covered by insurance. Prompt action by the fire department prevented total loss of building and equip-ment. No estimate of the loss was announced. j Lark Notes r-- The Bridge club met Friday at the home of Mrs. Thomas Franks. Prizes were won by Mrs. Robert Sonne, Mrs. Robert Myerhoffer and Mrs. E. W. Gleason. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rabbe announce the birth of a daughter Monday at their home in Lark. Miss Ruth Thomas of Salt Lake City and Mrs. Elizabeth Sardoni of Provo visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Thomas Wed-nesday and Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mangum of Salt Lake City were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Parry and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Parry several days this week, returning home Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Dell Nell were guests of their son and daughter-in-law- , Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Nell, Sunday at Coon Chicken Inn, Salt Lake City. Sherrill Overson and Jay Gleason, University of Utah stu-dents, spent the week-en- d at the home of their parents. Mrs. George Bowen and Mrs. Fred Lincke spent Friday in Salt Lake City. Mrs. H. K. Olson of Salt Lake City was a week-en- d visitor at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clyde Augustson. Ten small friends of Rene Hal-lida- y were entertained by Mrs. Theron Halliday on the occasion of her daughter's second birthday Monday. Games and rofeshments were enjoyed. Mrs. Thomas Hatch and Mrs. William Fahrni were Salt Lake City visitors Wednesday. O Phone Your News Items to 91 CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 1940 Everyone who all ended the commencement exercises at Bing-ham high school Wednesday evening, whether a parent or friend of a graduate, felt the thrill of pride in the attainments of the fine yourifi people as each stepped forward to receive a diploma. And in a world shaken with terror, torn with suspicion and dis-trust, the program that the graduates presented conveyed solace and reassurement. "American Heritages" was their theme, and the presentation of the speeches revealed a thoroughness in preparation, an awareness of issues of the day, an appreciation of American privileges and problems, which left little to be desired. If education can give young people the clarity of vision to un-derstand the pricelessness of an American heritage, then surely education is one of our strongest armaments. The members of the graduating class of Bingham high school are evidently forearmed against "fifth column" termites of which we are warned. They are the finest recruits patriots of America could desire. Congratulations, class of 1940, and success to you!

O ARM OUR ARMY AT ONCE Perhaps there are Americans who think they have something tangible to show for the 8' 2 billion dollars spent on national defense in the last 10 years. They are wrong. If our army were to be subjected to such a test as the armies of Europe arc meeting today we should suffer a defeat which would be as prompt as it would be ignominous and humiliating. Little Belgium is far better prepared to meet an invader than we are. We couldn't stand off a first class power on land for a week. We have a population of 130 millions and the greatest industrial or-ganization the world has ever known, but our factories could not be-gin to produce the necessary supplies for an army in a year and by that time they would not be our factories. An overstatement? An exaggeration? Well, an army needs rifles. The sluggish minds of the ordnance department finally decided 30 years too late that an automatic rifle was desirable. We ought to have .equipment for half a million men, at least. The army staff, in fact, is reckoning on an army of a million at the start of a war. We haven't enough of the new rifles to keep even a division supplied with them. At last reports there were fewer than 8,000 of the guns available and the quantity is being increased by no more than a few hundred a month. It is still far from certain that the new gun is as nearly as good as the bureaucrats say it is, but whether it is good or not so good, this country didn't get a supply of modern rifles for its 8 Mi billions. Our lack of modern artillery is even more appalling. Practically speaking, we haven't any. Such cannon as we have would be out-ranged and put out of action in a few days if not in a few hours of such fighting as is now being seen in Europe. We didn't get artillery fur our 8 '.is billions. In antiaircraft weapons our deficiency is even more glaring. We have about 50 high grade guns of 3 inch caliber which were obsolete before they were issued. We have perhaps a dozen modern weapons of heavier caliber. And that's ail. We didn't get antiaircraft defense lor our 8'i billions. If there is anything to be learned from the war in Europe it is the military value of airplanes. In this department we are hopelessly out-classed. The army today has only 2,700 planes and of these all but 52 large bombers are regarded as obsolete. They would have been all right in the last war or even five years ago, but they would be out-fought by the speedier and better armed types which are now flying over Belgium, France and Holland. We didn't get an air force for our 82 billions. And so it goes. Perhaps we have enough flagg and bugles, but we are woefully short of arms and much of what we have is so inferior in quality us to be negligible. As matters stand today, we are a push-over for any first class military power which can effect a landing on our shores. There is, of course the navy, but nobody can feel certain that it is able to withstand the punishment which a navy must take in the J940 kind of war. It may well be true that most of it is obsolete and that the cost of rebuilding the ships to meet modern weapons of at-tack would be so great as to warrant scrapping the whole fleet and starting anew. A distrust of the designers and builders of our ships appears to te shared by the secretary of the navy himself. Mr. Edison permitted himself to say the other day that he would like to get some civilian brains to assist in the planning of the ships. He could use some, too, in supervising construction in the hope that endless delays would be avoided. In the world in which we live our country should be strong. In fact, it is grotesquely weak, unprepared, wholly unequal to the tasks which a cautious diplomacy would impose upon it, and our diplomacy is not cautious. We have paid a fabulous price for next to nothing. We issue grandiose proclamations telling the rest of the world what to do and what not to do, but we haven't the means to enforce our will and we ate at the mercy of any first class nation which calls for a showdown. The situation demands prompt and thoroughgoing correction. The monopoly of the ordnance officers and the navy constructors should be broken. The army and navy should tell the manufacturers of this country what it wants by way of performance and then leave jt to the engineering brains of the coutry to devise the weapons and to the industries of the country to build them. . The advice of competent men not on the active list should be solicited not occasionally but constantly, and followed. Such men as lUckenbacker, Lindbergh, and Al Williams have repeatedly warned the army and navy of the extent and power of the German air force, but the warning was long unheeded. In truth these three men and a few more like them haw more knowledge and experience in the field of aviation than is possessed by the entire bureaucracy and their judgment and advice are correspondingly valuable. In common sense their recommendations should be set up as a guide. Otherwise we shall continue to spend immense sums for planes and still be unready for war. America is unprepared and each day finds us falling further be-hind. We are rich, and fat, and feeble. The confidence of congress in the ability of our armed services to provide us with an adequate ap-paratus of defense has been misplaced. The time has come for a radi-cal shaking up and shaking out of the uniformed bureaucracy in Washington. The national danger can be averted only if an aroused country demands from our executives the housecleaning which is long overdue.
