Social Bingham's annual Galena Days celebration has been scrapped for the duration, but the boister-ous spirit of the pioneer-inspire- d holiday is in no danger of ex-tinction. The junior chamber of commerce dance at the Civic Cen-ter Saturday night, socially and financially u humdinger, was an outstanding observance which did not interrupt regular war production work as would a two-da- y celebration. Honored at the dance were three women of Bingham dis-trict: a pioneer resident, an out-standing war-servi- worker and a mother of four sons in the U. S. navy. These women received the gifts and compliments usually given three girls chosen for beau-ty and personality to reign as Miss Galena, Princess Silver and Princess Copper. Bob Jimas, chairman of the Galena dance committee, was master of ceremonies at a pro-gram honoring the women. In introducing Mrs. C- - E. Adderley, who was born in Bingham Can-yon, the daughter of a pioneer mining man and his wife, John and Elizabeth Hocking, and has resided continuously in this com-munity, Mr. Jimas said: "We must pause during our fifth annual Galena dance cele-bration to pay honor to three la-dies, representing you who are working on the home front and to remember and pay tribute to those who have left. The Bing-juni- or chamber of commerce is making plans to hold, when the war is over, the biggest of all Galena Day celebrations. Thus we can welcome back the men of Bingham whp have been fight-ing for their country. "This year the dance will take the place of the two-day celebra-tion. Galena Days was first started to honor the oldtimers of this mining camp and that still is the primary objective. For the present we have decided to do away with the selecting of the Galena queen and in her place to honor three ladies, one repre-senting the' oldtimers, one repre-senting the home war front and one signifying motherhood and its contribution to the war effort. "In giving our pioneer resident award to Mrs. C.E. Adderley, we remember her and her family's years of work in the building of Bingham Canyon. Our thanks go to her and in her honor I would like to read a Galena day poem written by one of our own mem-bers, Mr. Dale Johnston: (Continued on page eight) O OCTOBER GEMMELL PROGRAM SCHEDULED The R.

FIRST P.T.A. MEET OF YEAR SHEDULED Opening meeting of the 1943-4- 4 year for Bingham Central Parent-Teache- r association is scheduled for 8 o'clock Wed-nesday evening, October 6, it is announced by Mrs. B. John Turner, president. Principal Andrew J. Jones has secured A. O. Ellett. Salt Lake City, an authority of Utah's juvenile problems, who will discuss ser-iousness of youth delinquency in this state.

S. war savings bonds during the Third War Loan drive, September 9 to October 1, at Bingham post office, the First Security bank and from Chris T. Praggastis, agent for the Order of Ahepa, amounted to $126,425, which is a record month. In ad-dition to cash purchases of bonds are the purchase Rledges signed by mining company employees, which will be redeemed by fu-ture payroll deductions. The percentage of mining com-pany employees responding to appeals of those directing the drive by purchasing bonds direct-ly from the companies or by sign-ing pledges was much less than pxneeted. However, it is unfair to eompare the amount of bonds sold with quotas assigned since many employees living outside Bingham claim they are buying bonds regularly in the cities and towns in which they have resi-dence. It is impossible for' the employing companies to get cre-dit on these purchases. In the opinion of those in charge of the Third War Loan drive and working among the employees to push sales, the re-sponse to the campaign was "fair". W. Russell Anderson, chairman of bond sales in Bingham dis-trict, says the response of Bing-ham residents to the drive was very good. A record amount was sold at the bank, post office and from Mr. Praggastis, only in-dividual sales agent. Headlines during the drive: The Main street booth sponsored by Bingham retail stores and businesses sold $10,600 worth of bonds. In the last issue of the Bulletin it was mistakenly re-ported that this booth, which stood in front of J. C. Penney store, was sponsored by the store. All business houses contacted supplied sales ladies for the booth, according to Clair R. Mathis, chairman of the commit-tee. Harvev Wolfe, chief air raid warden for lower Bingham, in charge of directing the house to house bond canvass, reports $25,000 in bonds and pledges re-ceived by their method. Out-standing salesmen were Harry McNeely, $6,000 and H. F. Dowd, $5,000. Tom Georges, employee for Utah Copper company, contacted fellow workmen during the drive and sold $10,000 worth of bonds by payroll deduction. An interesting item from Cop-perfie- ld firemen concerns their purchase of a $100 war bond with Kearns-St- . Ann's orphanage as beneficiary. Utah Copper company spon-sored a war bond. ra-dio show Saturday night at the Utah theatre, Salt Lake City. A number of officials from Magna and Bingham attended. GARBAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM CHANCE EYED BY CITY COUNCILMEN City council Wednesday night voted to apply to the priorities division, War Production Hoard, for materials necessary for con-version of the city truck into a garbage collection truck. Gar-bage is at present collected by a private contractor. If possible the city plans to have the work done by city em-ployees using city-owne- d equip-ment. A new city ordinance, cover-ing salaries paid city employees and officials, is printed in this issue of the Bulletin. I. U. M. M. & S. W. TELLS OF N L R B ELECTION A hearing on the petition of International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers for certification as bargaining agent for 1700 employees of Arthur and Magna mills of Utah Copper com-pany has been ordered by Martin Wagner, director, Twentieth re-gion, national labor relations board. Harold Lee, representative of the CIO union, said Wednesday ' that the hearing will be held at 10 a.m. October 7 in the jury room of the Salt Lake federal building. A runoff election among the 196 machinists employed at Bingham mine of Utah Copper company has been ordered by the Washington office of the board.

Granquist, an active member of the Women's Civic club the past ten years now serv-ing as president of Central dis-trict, Utah Federation of Wo-men's clubs, presided at the annual convention held Saturday at Arlington school in Murray. A past president of the Civic club, Mrs. Granquist is the first Bingham clubwoman to serve as district president since 1927 to 1930, when Mrs. J. B. Myers, formerly of Bingham and now of Erie, Pa., was district presi-dent. The morning session of the convention was taken up by a panel discussion, "Youth In War-time." The speakers considering phases of the subject and their topics were: Judge Rulon S. Clark, "General Delinquency"; Mrs. F. S. Leaver of Salt Lake City, "The Responsibility of the Home"; Miss Alta Miller, Jordan school district primary super-visor, "Influence of the School"; and Dr. Lynn S. Bennion, who spoke of the difficulties agencies have in counteracting influence of an irreligious home. It was agreed that many juvenile prob- - i f r ' I, " MRS. S. J. GRANQUIST Jems could be avoided if homes were what they should be. The afternoon session was spent hearing Mrs. J. H. Pecken-paug- h of Ogden, president of Utaji Federation of Women s clubs; Mrs. Sterling Ercanbrack of Provo, first vice president; and Mrs. D. A. McMillen of Mur-ray, second vice president. Mrs. W II Floyd of Tooele was elect-ed state director from Central district. Mrs. Arlene Silver of Murray is the new district sec-ond vice president. Annual reports of seven dis-trict clubs were heard. Mrs. Ross Hocking, immediate past presi-dent of Women's Civic club, gave the club report for 1942-4- Present from Bingham were Mrs. Granquist; Mrs. Wiltord secretary; Mrs. Hocking, Mrs. Don Reid, Mrs. S. T. Nerdin, Mrs Virgil Hutchings, Mrs. Kex Mills, Mrs. J. L. Gresham Mrs. David C. Lyon and Mrs. E Odell Peterson. The group visited at the Murray U.S.O. building be-fore returning home. o TICKET OPPOSING CITY INCUMBENTS FILESFOR FIGHT The Proper party has filed a ticket of candidates for city elec-tion to be held Tuesday, Novem-ber 7. Petitions of nomination are required by law to be filed at least 30 days before date of election. R. A. Murano, candidate for mayor, says he has consented to head the party at request of sup-porters who believe that the in-cumbents should have opposition in their campaign for reelection and in compliance with requests of friends who supported Mr. Murano in the campaign two years ago and believe he has a good chance for election now. Directing party strategy will be Albin Johnson, chairman, and Dave Brisk is the secretary-treasure- r. Remainder of the ticket lineup, under Mr. Murano, includes: Clarence Johnson, four year; Ken Shulsen, Ross Cushing and Ernest Chipian, two-ye- ar councilmen; Miles Gaythwaite, treasurer. State Meet Reports Show Response Here In Salvage Excellent Mrs. J. Dewey Knudsen, gen- eral chairman of Minute Wo-men, Salvage division, War Pro-duction board of Bingham area, and Mrs. Clair R. Mathis, com-mittee woman, Bingham, and Mrs. Louis Watson, chairman for Martha No. 7, Order of Eastern Star, attended a zone meeting of the state salvage committee Wed-nesday evening in Salt Lake City. Plans for a national salvage drive which begins today, Fri-day were outlined by M.J. Green-wood, B. L. Wood and Mrs. John T. Wahlquist. The need for scrap iron for steel manufacture is acute. The drive, to be called the "Scrap Bank" is for the purpose of building up reserves for the winter months. The vital need of tin was stress-ed in a talk made by Sergeant Eddie Belnap, rear gunner on a B-1- 7, who was wounded in a R.A.F. sweep over France and is a patient at Bushnell hospital. The "syrette" a little tin hypo- dermic "Angels of Mercy, as they are called can be made from the tin reclaimed from two tin cans and are the means of relieving pain of wounded fight-ers until they are reached by medical aid. The salvage of deer fats and hides and even the empty cart-ridges from hunters' rifles are a vital need. Every minute woman is called on to assist in the col-lection of such items. 695 pounds of fats were turn-ed in to headquarters from the meat markets of Bingham for the month of September which is a fine record, higher than the month of August, a record month to that date. Results from the "Baubles" drive were gratifying. 2,257 pieces were collected and turned in at the meeting by the Bing-ham group and more collections are expected in the next few days. Organizations participating, in order of amounts collected, were: American Legion auxiliary, Wo-men's Civic club, Women's So-ciety of Christian Service, Fra-ternal Order of Eagles, Order of Eastern Star, Bingham Relief Society, Ruth Rebekah lodge No. 7. Outstanding individual collec-tions were made by Mrs. Charles Brimhall, 360 pieces; Mrs. Ross Hocking, 205 pieces; Mrs. Frank Finnas, 130 pieces. The Minute Women's organization of Copper-- . field and Telegraph turned in 231 pieces. Minute Women are urged to contact their chairman within the next three days so that collec-tions will reach Fort Douglas in time for shipment and a complete report can be filed with the state office. Mrs. Mathis, the newly-appointe- d committee woman for Bingham, is doing a splendid job of organizing Bingham, making a complete survey of areas not covered and appointing new Min-ute Women. Bingham was com-mended for the efficiency of its organization by Mrs. Wahlquist. Approximately two-thir- of the O.P-A- . price ceiling pledges, dis-tributed b" Minute Women, have been signed and turned in to the Ration board office. A final check will be made and report sent state headquarters within the next few days. The Minute Women organiza-tion has a general chairman, five committee members, 32 organi-zation chairmen, 130 Minute Wo-men. Contacts have been made with 1060 families. CITY OFFICIALS WILL CAMPAIGN FORREELECTION Incumbent city officials have announced their intention of be-coming candidates for reelection for a two-ye- ar term in office, be-ginning at midnight, December 31, 1943. Mayor Ed W. Johnson will head the Nonpartisan ticket, whose campaign will be directed by Willard Nichols, chairman, and Runar Martinson, secretary-treasure- r. The party plans to stand on their record, which they point out has been excellent from a business standpoint, and dur-ing the campaign will outline plans for effective civic postwar advancement. Francis J. Quinn is holdover councilman. Seeking endorse-ment of the voters are:Mayor Johnson; C. A. Morley as four-yea- r councilman; Dale Johnston, Chris T. Praggastis and Al councilmen; Eugene Mor-ris, recorder, and Alvin Hall, treasurer. LEGIONNAIRE ATTENDS NATIONAL MEETING O. R. Warner of Copperton, who is commander of the Third district of the Utah Department of the American Legion and also heads Bingham post No. 30, re-turned Saturday from Omaha, Nebraska, where he attended the twenty-fift- h annual national convention of the American Le-gion. He was gone a week. Practically the entire conven-tion time was devoted to busi-ness. A resolution approved re-commended government action to deport all Japanese who haven't citizenship papers and all Japanese who have been shown guilty of subversive ac-tivities. The Legionnaires voted to join the Red Cross in bearing expense of carrying insurance for disabled veterans of the World war for a one year period. BINGHAM LIBRARY MOVE ANTICIPATED Prospects that Bingham will have a much enlarged and im-proved library at the building formerly occupied by the Bing-ham Radio shop, 488 Main street, brightened Tuesday following a meeting of representatives of the. city council and the Salt Lake county library board. Mrs. Ruth Vine Tyler of Mur-ray, county librarian, in confer-ring with Mayor Ed W. Johnson and City Councilman Chris T. Praggastis, gave them a pro-posed floor plan showing place-ment of newly-purchase- d maple tables, chairs, desks and shelves. If materials are available th'e latest type lighting will be in-stalled. The floor coverine will be inlaid linoleum. New shelving will provide space for 8,000 to 10,000 volumes, three times the ' number now housed at the small library on ,the top floor of the City hall. ' Councilmen are furthering a proposal to use part of the build-ing's floor space for display of historical objects, ore specimens and exhibits which companies and individuals may wish to show. This museum will be sep- arated from the library by glass partitions. The present library is open three nights a week from 3:30 to 9:00 p.m.. City officials and the library board hope that, with opening of the enlarged and im-proved quarters, a plan may be evolved which will make library facilities available to the public six nights a week. City councilmen studied the diagram for the ' new library building and approved plans of the county board, as Mrs. Tyler has explained them, at their regular Wednesday evening meeting. The Bingham branch of the Salt Lake county library is supported by a tax levied on the county outside Murray and Salt Lake City. Tabulation of receipts from ticket sales for the Army Emerg-ency Relief benefit show, "This Is The Army", Monday night at Princess theatre, are as yet in-complete but proceeds turned in up to last nicht (Thursday) in-dicate that the total will be over $400. This is a substantially bet-ter record than made in other cities of like size, according to Harold Chesler. The entire goes to the Army Emerg-ency Relief fund. Tickets were sold by members of the Lions club, Furloughed Soldiers organization, junior chamber of commerce and Vol-unteer Firemen at $2.20 each. Hearing Date Set On Grand Larceny Charge Mike Sampanas, 19, was arrest-ed by Deputy Sheriff J. L. House-holder September 22 and charged with stealing $585 from Standard Garage on November 27, 1942. An attempt is being made to get Ernest Corona, charged with be-ing an accomplice, out of the army to stand trial, also. Preliminary hearing for Sam-panas will be held Wednesday, October 6, before Justice of Peace Francis A. Miller. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. John B.
