MANAGER TRANSFERRED TO ; EVANSTON, WYO. Announcement is made this week by the Utah Power and Light company of tin- appoint- ment of George T. (Bud) Parkin-son as district manager of the Power company at Ev.mston, Wyo. Mr. Parkinson will leave Monday to take over his new as-signment. GEORGE T. (BUD) PARKINSON Mr Parkinson has been Bing-ham district manager since March 8, 1943. He has spent 22 of his 38 years serving the power company in varying capacities in Utah and Idaho. Before coming to Bingham he was right-of-wa- y agent for the company. The new Evanston manager is a member of the Lions club, No. 2 Fire department; and is serv-ing as president of the Bingham District Athletic association. He plans to move his family to the Wyoming city Sept. 1. W. L Woolley, former Evanston manager, has been placed in charge of the Rexburg, Idaho, district. Joseph Cushman, form-er Rexburg manager has been given the Preston, Idaho, terri-tory, and R R. Rowell, former Preston manager has been placed in charge of the Ogden district. Mr. Parkinson's successor in Bingham will be announced this week-en- V-- J Jubilation Drew Many To Churches, Parties, Might Spots i President Harry Truman's announcement of the surren-der of Japan at 5 p.m. Tuesday, August 14, heard by hun-dreds who had kept a four-da- y vijfil at radios awaiting the important newscast, brought to all the immense relief of sudden freedom from the big and little nightmares incident to three-year- s, eight-month- s and seven-day- s of war. The news came half-hou- r after the regular day shift at the mines had left and just half-ho- ur before regular closing time at local stores. Within a matter of minutes all retail businesses had cleared of customers and the doors locked for a two-d- a v holiday. The old fire alarm bell behind the city hall, silent for many-years- , was tolled and whistles and sirens blown. Motorists honked loudly and raced dizzily up and down the narrow street with banging strings of tin cans and old wash boilers or fantastic decorations tied to machines. Youngsters climbed on top of Main street buildings and show-ered scraps of paper down on the Carr Fork and Main intersection until the litter was ankle deep. Liquor store patrons made a split second dash to secure the makings of victory cocktails be-fore the door slammed shut for two days. The reaction of parents and wives of service men was that of deep thankfulness: "Thank God! I wonder how soon he'll be home?" Mass was said Wednesday at Holy Rosary church. Many local members of Hellenic Ortho-dox church, Salt Lake City, at-tended the special services there Wednesday. Two hours after of-ficial announcement of victory a prayer service was held at the Highland Boy Community House. "World Peace and the Church" will be subject of the sermon for the service of worship next Sun-day at 11 a.m. at Community church. The public is cordially invited to join in service. Bing-ham LDS ward will hold its V-- J program at the regular Sunday evening service. Utah Copper company, with the victory announcement, clos-ed down Wednesday and Thurs-day, the first two-da- y holiday for "round-the-clock- " shifts since the war began three years ago. United States Refining and Mining also closed their proper-ties for the two-da- y festivities. Workers of National Tunnel and Mines jumped the gun by cele-brating Tuesday and Wednesday, a small force reporting Thursday for work. A V-- J dance was immediately staged at the Civic Center under combined sponsorship of No. 1 and No. 2 Firemen, Lions club, Junior Chamber, American Le-gion and city officials. Net pro-ceeds, $150, will be used to make improvements at the Civic Cen-ter. The night spots just outside the city limits did an unprece-dented business, many high spir-ited revelers celebrating until daybreak. Wednesday morning, as soon as the news of the removal of gasoline restrictions was made official, many motorists drove to service stations, boldly ordered "Fill 'er Up" and like the Cow-boy in the old story "drove wild-ly off in all directions" for the first long, carefree spin since ra-tioning. The V-- J mood at Bingham was for the most part one of mellow fellowship and good will and the small parties in celebration were innumerable. O BINGHAM TAXPAYERS FACE 32.95 MILLS ALL PURPOSE LEVY Taxpayers in Bingham Can-o- n can compute the levy for 1945 at 32.95 mills, as compared to 29-9- mills last year. The figure was established with adoption Monday of a 7.80 mill levy by Salt Lake county. Mill levies set for the various funds follow: general fund, 1.80; coun-ty roads, 1.25; exhibits, .10; pub- - lie welfare, 1.70; poor and in-digent. 2; bond interest and sink-- ! ing lund, .75; farm demonstra-tion, .10; agricultural inspection, ,06; and reserve fund, .75. The county lew is 45 mill higher than last year, 1944. The figure set, 7.80, includes .75 mill for a postwar reserve. The a- - mount provides 7.05 mills for county operation. The breakdown on Bing-ham Canyon's 32.95 levy, at compared to 29.91 in 1944, it: State of Utah, 4; Salt Lake county, 7.8; Bingham City, 15; Jordan school district, 5.4; County Library board, .75. LEGION TEAM RUNNERS-U-P IN REGIONAL PLAY To date undefeated, the Tuc-son, Ariz., American Legion Jun-ior baseball team won the moun-tain regional tournament Wed-nesday by a 14-- 2 triumph over Bingham Canyon, Utah's champ-ions Tucson goes on to the wes-tern sectional playoff at Miles City, Mont., which begins Aug-ust 18. The locals played four games in the tourney and early made it plain that Bingham Canyon u as the team to beat in winning the round robin contest. Bingham lost their first game at the elimination tourney when Colorado Springs, Colo., Satur-day achieved a 4 to 0 shut out by scoring two runs in the sixth and two in the ninth and hold-ing the locals to three hits. Sunday the Utah Title Holders met and removed the McGill, Nov., team from Dlay by a de-cisive 10-- 4 victory. Monday the Bingham nine from action Colorado Springs Clippers by an easy 11 to 3 triumph. The locals swatted offerings of three Colorado pitch- - IMS, J. Morgan, Merle Bales and Ruppert Sullivan, with Bill Bor-on leading the free swingers with four in six trips to the plate. Tuesday the Utah Champs were ahead in the feature game of the day, with Tucson, when the contest had to be halted on account of rain. In their last tourney appear-- I ance the Miners 'seemed tired and the Tucson aggregation had little difficulty handling offer-- ! ings of Pitchers Bailey Santis-Kteva- n and Don Stoddard- The Utah team, which had been per-- ! forming excellently in the field, made numerous errors. The Bingham Canyon team performed excellently and their supporters will proudly greet them and are waiting to hear the inside story of each game. Telegrams and telephone calls have kept parents and support- - ers abreast of games and scores, but do not give the whole pic-ture. OPPORTUNITY FOR PEACE GREATER j THAN EVER BEFORE Those attending the Monday evening public meeting at Ma-sonic hall at which George Ballif, Provo attorney, discussed "World Affairs" were privileged to hear an understandable summary of events leading up to the San Francisco conference (nine weeks in April to June. 11145) and dis-cussion of the final product of this historic meeting, the world charter signed June 26 by pleni-potentiaries of 50 nations. The speaker termed the charter, which embodies 111 articles of approxi- - mately 10,000 words, "the bright-est promise of world peace the world has ever known. ' The "Big Five" principles set forth in the charter were dis cussed by Mr- Ballif in this or-der: (1) Men everywhere must become internationally minded; (2) A universal world security organization is created; (3) Crea-tion of a military force on an international scale stronger than any national force to which all or any peoples may appeal in case of necessity; (4) The crea-tion of adequate institutions and procedures for peace; (5) The creation of a Bill of Rights and guarantee of liberties of the four freedoms to common men every-where. Harold W. Nielsen, president of the Junior Chamber, sponsors of the meeting, introduced Bob Jimas, club chairman of govern-mental affairs committee, who explained the need of town meet-ings to make people conscious of government and community affairs. After a piano selection by Mrs. Bob Jimas, Mr. Jimas announced the speaker for the first of a series of forum meet-ings which Jaycees plan to pre-sent for public enlightenment. Mr. Balhf titled his talk "Our Struggle For Peace". He told of his reaction to the Armistice 27 years ago, while with the 91st division in Belgium. Because he had "known war, seen wounded men, viewed ruined cities and the dead lying in the mud", Bal-lif joined Woodrow Wilson's supporters for the League of Na-tions and the World Court. He told of Wilson's heart-breakin- g fight in the "Crusade that Fail-ed" and how his mantle had fall-en on Franklin D. Roosevelt, termed truly the "architect of the world organization for peace-- The Atlantic charter grew out of the 1940 meeting of Roosevelt and Churchill in mid-Atlant- ic and this step forward, like Dum-barton Oaks, Bretton Woods and the San Francisco conference, was a logical development in man's struggle for peace. The San Francisco conference gave the nations of the world their first experience of working to-gether for peace. In the open discussion follow-ing the talk, Mr. Ballif was ask-ed two questions: (1) Did the na- - tions signing the charter give up any of their sovereignity and national rights? and (2) Would the machinery set up by the charter be strong enough to fun-ction in the event of a division of nations such as that of the allies and the axis? To the first query Mr. Ballif replied that na--tio-signing the charter would be called upon to make sacrifice of some rights. Only the future can reveal how effective the charter will be in preventing re-course to war in settlement of differences, Mr. Ballif replied in answer to the second question O BOY SCOUTS BACK FROM WEEK AT CAMP STEINER Home Saturday were Bingham Boy Scouts, back from a week at Salt Lake district's beautiful Camp Steiner in the Grandaddy lake region. With them the fel-lows brought memories of prac-tice in camping skills and honors for performances in varied ac-tivities. Troops 336 was third in the "Battle of Steiner", a water maneuver in which an effort is made to upset three men in a boat. Enough trout were caught to supply one good trout meal. Each of the Scouts received the 1945 Camp Steiner badge for sanita-tion and cleanliness.

V--J CELEBRANTS FIGHT AND PART-I-N HOSPITAL, JAIL Cessation of hostilities on V-- J day did not necessarily imply the arrival of unqualified peace and good will on the local scene. At 10 . Wednesday evening city and county police .officers were called to halt a free-for-a- ll at the Japanese and Puerto Ri-ca- n mess halls at Copperfield. The fracas reported was said to have begun with a card game. Lloyd Miller, 45, was taken to St. Mark's hospital for treatment of a cut above the eye caused by a blow with a coffee cup which severed an artery. Investigating officers reported the victim also received an abdominal cut in a set-t- o just outside the building as he attempted to leave. Miller was accompanied to the Japanese and Puerto Rican camp by LaMar Bray and Paul Miller. It was reported that 11 Puerto Ricans were present at the time of the disagreement, and two, Americo Savaadra and A. L. Mar-rer- o, were arrested and taken to the county jail. Deputy Sheriff J. L. Householder was investigating officer. As news of the trouble traveled about Cop-perfield, several residents went to the camp, but police officers dispursed the trouble hunters and prevented further trouble. Police Chief R. J.
