FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 5-1- 1 Fire Prevention Week In the nation and in Utah will be ob-served this year from October 5 to 11. It has been officially pro-claimed by Governor Herbert B Maw for Utah, with an urgent appeal that the public give heed to the menace of fire and the need for intelligent, public sup-ported effort to prevent fire. j The annual toll of fire in loss of life, in injury and suffering, in loss of property and in gen-- ; eral inconvenience is huge and it has been increasing steadily Last year the total property loss in fires in the United States was $554,000,000. That was more than double the loss in 1937, since when the loss has been increas-ing each year. Last year 8.500 ' lives were lost by fire. While the increase in loss of life has not been so steady as the increase in property loss, here again the toll has been greater than before the war. There is need for a vigorous and persistent effort to combat this toll. Most fires could be pre-vented with just a little extra care. If we could just get all the American people alert to the menace of fire and watchful in regard to the more obvious fire hazards in their homes, on their farms and in their places of business we could make sharp reductions in annual fire losses. Every citizen can and should do his part in the fire prevention effort by himself being fire safe-t- y conscious, and by supporting his local fire department and other fire prevention agencies in their work of combatting the rising fire toll. The fire prevention appeal should strike home to every citi-zen because it is in his own in-terest. Good fire prevention work may save him or members of his family heavy loss, suffering, ev-en death. And it certainly will save him money because suc-cessful fire prevention work means less fire loss and there-fore lower fire insurance prem- - iums. It is in every respect a worthwhile project. A fire prevention trailer will be shown all next week starting Sunday, October 5 at Princess theatre. o IGOP TO HOLD DINNER IN S.L. Salt Lake City (Special) A preview of national political is-sues in the 1948 elections and the opening of a drive to create a treasury balance capable of waging an all out political cam-paign next year will mark the October 9 dinner of Utah Re-publicans in Salt Lake City. Governor Ralph P. Gates of Indiana, a potential vice pivsi dential candidate of the GOP ticket next year, will be tiie prin-cipal speaker at the state dinner to be held in the Lafayette and Junior rooms of the Hotel Utah at 7:15 p.m. Other national party leaders who may be on hand to discuss political issues include Rep. Joe Governor Gates Martin and speaker of the U.S. House of Representa-tives, and Carroll Recce, chair-man, GOP national committee, Marvin J. Bertoch and Rex J. Hanson, of the din-ner reported here today. In addition, Utah's GOP con-gressional representatives, Sen. Arthur V. Watkins and Rep. Wil-liam A. Dawson, are expected to speak. Noting the $25 per plate charge for the dinner, Mr. Bertoch and Mr. Hanson declared that the party is "tired of feeding pea-nuts to the elephant" and that GOP leaders intend to enter the '48 campaign with the party financially solvent and with suf-ficient funds to finance a vigor-ous campaign in behalf of its principles. Supported by the Republican State Committee under Vernon Romney, chairman, the dinner is sponsored by the Salt Lake County GOP committee and its chairman, J. A. Ottenheimer. KENNECOTT- - UNION RESUME NEGOTIATIONS Brotherhood and Kennecott Copper representatives reported that progress was being made in the negotiation of a contract cov-ering i inployment ol tram and engine men on Kennecott's new Copperton line. Meetings have been resumed after a week-en- d recess, and are expected to continue for several days. The contract will cover working conditions and employ-- : ment on the Copperton line, un-- ! der which Bingham and Garfield Railway company train and en-- j gine men will begin employ-ment on the new trackage. Oper ations over the new mino-to-mil- ls line are expected to get under way shortly after the first of next year. Order of Railway Conductors is being represented by acting Vice President H W. Corbett of Pocatello, and C. E. Johnson of Magna, local chairman. B. M. Alvord, vice president, repre-- i sented the Brotherhood of Loco-motive Firemen & Knginemen in yesterday's meeting. A. J. Chip-- j man, Denver, general chairman, and C. E. Turner, Magna, local chairman, were also present at negotiations last week, and are expected to rejoin the meetings in a few days. Kennecott's re presentative is Roy Hatch, di-rector of labor relations. O "S- - Sports Here and There by Al Ablet World Series time, and again all America awaits the outcome of the best four out of seven games between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dod-gers. This series, more than any other, has human interest galore. Both managers are men who didn't want the job. Harris was settled in the front office of the Yanks, his managing days be-hind him forever he thought, but Larry McFail said, Bucky, the job is yours, if you don't like it after this year come back into the office So Bucky took it and won the pennant. So you guess who will manage the Yanks in; 11)48. I'll take Bucky Harris. Bert Shotton, who has done such a great job with the Bums, was basking in the sunshine down at his Florida home taking life easy, then came the call from his old friend Branck Rickey, Probably went something like1 this B. R. Barney, why don't you come up to Brooklyn, have something to talk over with you. Shotton O. K. Branck, I'll leave tonight. He did and the rest is history. Then there was the big beef between the two teams. Doroch-e- r charged McFail with enter-taining gamblers in Cuba at spring training. McFail making counter charges against the lip. Commissioner Chandler, fining both clubs, and suspending Dor-och-for a year. The World Series finds two coaches that were with the Bums last year doing their stuff this year for the Yanks. Then there is Jackie Robertson, the first negro to take part in the great fall classic, and doing such a bang up job, and last but not least it is a cinch to be the big-ge- st money series of all time. The Yanks are leading at pres- - ent two games to one, but I still think it will go at least six games. Now for football. It looks like that Utah team is loaded after taking Oregon state 7 to 6. Two Bingham boys played a big part in the upset. Clyde Nichols scor-ed the touchdown and Frank Nelson looked like the best man on the field. Armstrong's boys will be on top or their-abou- ts when the curtain goes down on the Big Seven season. BYU suffered a big loss when big Reed died from injuries re-ceived in an auto accident. He was considered one of the con-ferences outstanding wingman. But Kimball has a great squad clown Provo way, don't sell them short in any game they play. Bingham high keeps rolling along. They took Millard under their new lights, 26 to 6 and they looked plenty potent in doing it. About 2500 fans turned out and every one of them came away singing the praises of the light-ing system. Sandy's boys open league play tonight, Friday, at Murray. I think they will win this one easy. Well, how did you get over Galena days? Boy, wasn't it a great celebration? See you next week. AL O B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp NOTICE BDAA Board of Governors meeting Monday. October 6 at 7:30 p.m. at BCO hall. Boy!! Galena days go by again and Bingham issa look plenty pale for the men shaving off the beards and trying to be recogniz-ed after many weeks behind the "brush". The contests, street parades and soap box derby were enjoyed along with the games and entertainment for the child-ren. The complete Galena days program was a success and who took part can be thanked for making it so. Now we jump right into one of the good old USA's favorite sports eventgj and who don't en-joy it. Yes the annual World Series. This year two New York clubs are battling for the world's championship. The beloved Bums of Brooklyn against the favored and powerful Yankees. But no matter which team wins, the mil-lions of sports fans in the United States give ay other interests second place when the World Series is underway. High School Football Squad Strong Again Looks like an-oth- er good year on the gridiron for Santistevan and his Miner eleven. The Bingham high boys have again mustered a promis-ing football squad and have cop-ped three preseason tussles by convincing margins. The local prepsters, minus a lot of last year's greats, have displayed plenty of speed and power and are determined i carry on just as if the championship should remain here. Tonight the Miner eleven tra-vels to Murray for their first league skirmish and should take this one. Two weeks from to-night, October 17, the Miners play host to Tooele at Copper-to-n. Both of Bingham's home games will be played under the lights, weather permitting. BDAA cards are good at Bingham's home games. ALLEY ANGLES Our local keglers crashed the headlines the past week, with some fine games and series in three Salt Lake leagues. "Leading the list was Judy Slotte, who rolled the first 600 series of any lady kegler in Utah this year with a fine 613. Judy, trundling for the Binghamettes in the Ritz Ladies league, shot a 235 be-tween a pair of 189's to lead her team to four wins, and shove the Binghamettes several points in front. Not to be outshone by a mere gal, even if it was his sister, brother Paul Slotte totaled games of 199, 209, 213 for a 621 series to lead the Bingham boys to four wins over Wally's Flowers in the fast Southside Classic league at Sugarhouse. In the Major Traveling league, George Abplanalp put together a large 652 series in the team ev-ent, and a 590 in doubles for a fine 1242 total for the night. O WOMEN BOWLERS STILL IN LEAD The Binghamettes had a very eventful week. The girls travel-i- d to Springville Sunday to bowl the Springville Ford Motor Co. men's team, taking two out of four games. Tuesday night at the Ritz Temple lanes the girls really shined, taking all four games from last year's championship Streator Chevrolet team. Judy Slotte mowed 'em down when her high game of 235 totaled her series to 612. Ann Marks' series of 502 was also high for the Binghamettes. High team series was 865, highest rolled in the league Tuesday night. The girls have been minus Midge Niemi for the past two weeks but hope to have her back next Tuesday to help keep that top position. The Binghamettes are still leading by five games. Nice go-ing girls, keep it up. VETERANS "75" CLUB Members of the Veterans "75" club are urgently asked to at-tend the next regular meeting which is to be held Monday, October 6 at 7:30 p.m. at Eagles hall.

MINERS DOWN MILLARD IN GALENA DAY TILT The Bingham Miners achieved their first triumph under lights last Friday when they beat the Millard Eagles 26 to 6. The first and only Millard score in the game was made in the last of the first quarter when Ross Star ley carried the ball for 87 yards. The Miners came right back in the second quarter when Mickey Culleton went over, tying the score 6 to 6 at the half.
