Stricken by infantile paralysis in the prime of life his indomitable courage in over-coming his affliction made him a symbol to thousands similarly affected. "Through his own sufferings his great spirit flamed with a love for all humanity. His per-sonal fight to surmount his phy-sical handicap caused by this cruel disease encouraged and gave hope not only to those stricken like himself but to the people of the entire nation and world. "So that his own inspiration could be kept alive and handed on to polio sufferers in the na-- j tion Mr. Roosevelt founded the national foundation to carry on to victory the fight against the disease.

Just when we get settled down for a nice cozy winter, up comes an-other bunch of high school kids with a basketball team, and we get all excited and off we go, trapsing all over the country After a late start, our local hoopsters are starting to hit a championship stride again. With a couple of breathers' tucked the Miners are about ready for some stiffer competition, which they are going to get. To-night Bingham plays host to the Tooele Buffaloes at Copperton, and you'll remember last Fri-day, the Buffs lost a thriller to last years champ, Grantsville, by only one tiny point. As soon as you read this, you had better get down to the gym. Looks like the S.R.O. sign will be out early. Our local BDAA Basketball league will get under way next Tuesday night at the Gemmell club court. With a fast team from Tooele and three local squads, we can look for some interesting action in the home town. These games are open to all BDAA members, so lets give the bovs our backing. BOWLING BANTER League bowling has taken a back seat to the state Round Ro-bin tourney for the time being, but some hot scores are being rolled just the same- This week at the Gemmell lanes, Paul Slotte stashed nine strikes in a row, on top of three spares to ring up a 269 game. The modest reporter, copped high series for the week with 635 and a 253 game. Al Ablett who is in third spot at the end of the first round play in the robin tourney, slap-ped over another nice series with a 216 high. Al promises to be right near if not on top when the final shot is made in this annual tenpin derby. Gemmell club wrested the lead from Princess theatre by a 3 to 1 victory in the Gemmell Ma-jor, as BDAA came to life with three wins over Bingham Mer-chants. The men's team at Southeast had a relapse or something and lost three to Sheffield Market. Due to bad weather, the ladies team stayed home this week, but will be back in the battle next Tuesday at the Ritz. See you all tonight. O BHS MINERS PLAY TOOELE TONIGHT Bingham high school Miners basketball team plays Tooele Buffaloes Friday (tonight) at the high school gymnasium at Cop-perton, Games start at 7 and 8 p.m. BDAA membership cards will be honored for general ad- - mission. Bingham, Grantsville and Cyp- - rus increased their league stand-ings last Friday evening with hard earned victories over Mur-ray, Tooele and Judge Memorial. Bingham Miners provided an unappropriate homecoming for Murray fans by thoroughly thrashing the Smelterite five 41-1- 9. After an action-cramme- d first quarter Jack Knudsen and Geo-rge Dimas ran wild at the hoop to completely settle the issue. Knudsen and Dimas led all scor-ers with 15 and 11 points re-spectively. Steve Hausknecht and Marvin Pullan played spark-ling defensive ball as the Smel-terite- s were able to garner only six field goals. Hurzler was out-standing for the Smelterites.

O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The high school team took Murray last week without toe much trouble 41-1- Jack Knud sen and Billy Boren were tlu heavy scorers. Big Jack is really having a big year in every sport They play Tooele on tl Copper-to-floor tonight. Tooele threw a scare into Grantsville last week losing by one point and Grants-ville is supposed to have one of the top 'B" teams in the state. So the locals will have their work cut out for them. I look for them to win but after a real struggle. Utah plays the Utah Aggies in the field house Saturday. This should be the test for Vadal Pe-terson's band of Utes. I still think Utah will win the champ-ionship so of course I pick them to win this one. The local league sponsored by the BDAA will open its season at the club with a double header next Tuesday night. The teams are BCO, Ramblers, Bingham Youths and Tooele. They will play the remainder of their sche-dule on Monday nights. The state Round Robin bowl-- j ing tournament got under way last Sunday with over 600 en-- j tries in the three divisions. Bing-ham is well represented with 18 men taking part. Most of them did well in their first series. Thus tournament is a real test. Four games across eight alleys in five different houses. Dave Chipman of Salt Lake is the first week's leader with 898. That my friends is enough wood to build a house. Around the world of soorts "Babe" Ruth is well on his way to complete recovery. Herman Franks, a Salt Lake boy, has been appointed to manage St. Paul in the American association-Herma-played ball around here with East high and the Salt Lake Amateurs. He caught for the pennant winning Montreal Royals last year. George Snyder, a Salt Lake golf professional, is chairman of the P.G.A. tournament commit-tee, a very important post. Tom McHugh, the very popular Nib-le- y park pro, is out of the hos-pital. Bingham golfers will be glad to here this. Joe Tinker, the shortstop in the great-Tinke- r to Evers to chance combination of the Cub wonder teams, has had to have his leg amputated; infection from a blister on his foot. Bob Feller will make over $80,000 this com-ing year, from the Cleveland ball club. This is the same as Babe Ruth's top pay. "Hooks" Iott, the left hander that pitched for Kearns and Pin-ne- y, is pitching in the Cuba win-ter league. Mickey Owen, the catcher that jumped Brooklyn to go to Mexico, is suing the Pas-qu- al brothers and they are suing him. He has been suspended for five years from organized ball. Mickey made a mistake. I see where a Mississippi high schoolhas a center in basketball. They can't find shoes to fit him size 16. He just stands under the basket and dunks them in. I'll bet Sunny Allsop, Bingham coach, would welcome someone like that. "Pee Wee" Bass, the former Gemmell left hander, is in Spo-kane, Wash. Arnie Valcheck, the outfielder, is in Wisconsin. "Pop" Griffin, the pitcher, is running a filling station in Texas- All do-ing well I hear. See you at the game.

NO FIRE TOO SMALL TO REPORT It has been brought to the at-tention of the Bingham volunteer fire department of five known fires during the past year which were not reported and for which no alarms were turned in. Three of these fires occurred during the past 45 days. Tragic results and much loss in property could have resulted had these fires gotten out of control. No fire however small is too small to report. It is your duty as a good American and your responsibility as a citizen of this community to re-port a fire. Persons who try to put out a fire themselves without report-ing the fire or turning in an alarm not only endanger their own life and property but also the lives and property of all re-sidents of the community. For a matter of a few minutes may mean the difference between a e e routine fire or a conflagration. In the event of a fire first turn in an alarm or report the fire, and then use available means of combating or controll-- i ing the fire until the fire depart-- ! ment arrives. In any case turn in the alarm first before you try to put it out yourself. For example in the La Salle hotel fire in Chicago on June 5, ; 1946 the delay in turning in an alarm resulted in many lives lost and many thousands of dol- - lars of property damage. In our j own city, the disasterous apart- - ment house fire of August 30, 1943, brought tragic results to this community when two child-ren lost their lives in the fire through a short delay in turning in the alarm. Had this fire been reported when smoke was first noticed two lives might have been saved. COMMITTEE FOR CANCER NAMED Officers representing the Am-erican Cancer Control Society in the Bingham area are: Mm. J. Lynh Booth, lieutenant; Mrs. Elmo A. Nelson, vice lieutenant; Mrs. Richard G. Steele, secretary-t-reasurer and J. Lynn Booth business advisor. National com-mander of the society is Mrs. Lucy Milligan of New York-Ther-are seven regions. This area is in region six with Mrs. Emily G. Bogcrt of Denver, re-gional commander. Mrs. Emil de Neuf, former Salt Lake county captain was recently installed state commander, the position formerly held by Mrs. Joseph L. Wirthlin. Mrs. Stephen Netolicky replaces Mrs. de Neuf as Salt Lake county captain. Cancer is a threat to every household. 13-1- 2 of all those who now die can be saved if treated in time. Cancer is never an epidemic everyone is a po-tential target. This is the first year the Medical society has backed the Cancer society. Dr. John Z. Brown Jr. of Salt Lake City is medical advisor. Since there are so many cancer patients and they need so many dressings (from 10-2- a day, ma-terials and help in making these dressings are urgently needed. The materials needed for these dressings are: all white sheets, shirts, pillow cases and table-cloths- Sizes of dressings are 4x4, 8x8 and 10x12. They must be clean and after the dress-ings are made, they will be tak-en to the hospitals where they will be sterilized. If anyone has any of this material will they please leave it at the Utah Power & Light office where it will be turned over to the Cancer society. cnrcouNciL Payroll for first half of Janu-ary amounting to $1087.21 was approved for payment at the Wednesday evening meeting of the city council.
