A house to house survey will be made and all business houses will be contacted. Work- - ers will be assigned their dis-tricts in the next few days. Due to the existing conditions in Bingham Canyon, most of the loyal Red Cross supporters are hard pressed and it will be a dif-ficult job for the workers to ask for donations. But we must not forget that we still have a job to do. It is our duty to see that the less fortunate are helped. We must not forget our men over-seas. We must not forget our men in the hospitals and we must not forget the victims of the last war who the Red Cross is still helping and will continue to do so. All courtesies extended to workers will be greatly appre-ciated. We must remember that they are doing a job for you. HELP YOUR RED CROSS CARRY ON. County Commissioner Gwynne Page has been named chairman of the drive for Salt Lake coun-ty outside of Salt Lake City. As-sisting him will be W. H. Card-we- ll of Murray and P. L Thom-as, also of Murray. Every donation to the Red Cross shoufd be given by the donors as soon as possible, in order to put the county over at the quickest possible moment. With the establishment of $180,-50- 0 for the drive for 1946, it means that every adult who could contribute in 1945 or hus-band or wife who can contribute should give at least $3.00 in the 1946 drive.

Playing before a packed house, the Miners saw victory fall from their grasp when a terrific Too-ele rally put the Buffs in the lead late in the game. They then held this lead to emerge victors by a 38-3- 6 count. The vaunted Buffalo offensive and rigid de-fense stopped the Miners when they thought they might win the game. Revenge was sweet to the Too-- I ele five, which earlier in the sea- - son lost a thrilling 32-2- 1 game to Bingham. Tooele jumped to a quick seven-- point lead, but Kenny Hall's long shots and Billy Boren's tap-in- s ignited the Bingham scoring machine and at the end of the first quarter they held a 15 to 9 lead. Tooele continued to fight dur-- S ing the second quarter and out-score- d the Miners 12-- 9. At half time the score was 24-2- 1 for the Miners. During the third quarter nei-ther team was hot. The score read 30 to 24 for Bingham as the third quarter ended. The Buffs exploded a ten-poi- nt barrage which kept Bingham fans breathless. With four min-utes remaining, the count was 33-3- 2 for Bingham. The Buffs then broke loose for two quick scores to put them in the lead. In the last few seconds Tooele stalled but committed a foul in doing so. Before a tense crowd, Billy Thomas stepped to the foul line but missed the attempt to tie the game. B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp At the meeting held last Mon-- I day night the BDAA board of governors voted unanimously to cooperate with and aid in any way possible the new Bingham Catholic organization. This or- - ganization, under the direction of Father Leahy, can mean a great deal to the community and wins our wholehearted support. Also approved was the purchase of some equipment for the child-ren's playground. It was also ap-proved that any member of the BDAA, who has paid dues thru payroll deduction will be kept on the membership and no dues will be accumulated during the shutdown. Tooele turned the tables on the Bingham Miners last Friday as they came from behind in the last few seconds to win a breath-take- r 38-3- Young Thomas thought the outcome of the world peace rested on his shoul-ders as he had a chance to tie the game on two charity tosses, awarded after the final whistle. It's quite a spot to be in, and we can't blame the boy for not con- - verting his throws. You can see he tried. Well the Miners were already in the state tourney and who can say a defeat or two may have been just what they needed. The class B tournament starts March 13, and I'll bet Coach Allsop's boys will put on their best show at this meet. We're still pulling for you Bingham. Bits About Bowlers Due to the state bowling tour-ney, no league play was held at the Southeast courts this week. The BDAA mens team, which last week jumped into a first place tie with Sugar Bowl, will fire for their spot in the tourna-ment tonight, Friday, March 8. Some good games and series have been rolled so far, so the boys will have to do their best. Leaders in the doubles and sin-gles events have also bowled outstandingly and will be hard to beat The BDAA women's team at the Ritz came back into form with a sound win over Wolfe's Dept. store 4-- 0. Midge Niemi came through with a fine 203 and Judy Slotte rolled a 197 game. The gals are still in the race, and anything can happen yet. See you next week. CIVIC CLUB FETES VETERANS WED Women's Civic club entertain-ed patients at Veterans hospital, Salt Lake City, Wednesday af-ternoon with a birthday party.

UONSDISCUSS MEAL PROBLEMS Bingham Canyon Lions club met for their regular dinner meeting at Bingham club Tues-day evening. A long discussion on continu-ing to have dinner meetings was held and a committee, appointed by President Elliott W. Evans to work out a system of main-taining meals. The committee is composed of President Evans, Joseph P. Scussel, Clair R Mathis, Earl T. James and Robert Bowden, recently appointed new secretary, in place of Chris T. Praggastis, now of Salt Lake City. Plans for working out a schol- - arship program were discussed by T. H. McMullin and club members. Another subject brought up for discussion was whether the club was in favor of voting yes to the Victory Flag society plac-que for Welcome Home day. No definite opinions were expressed. This discussion was under the direction of Earl T. James. After the meeting several members at-tended the V.F.S. meeting at the city hall. JAYCEES TO MEET MONDAY EVENING According to Elmo A.

MINERETTE CLUB The final Minerette drill of the year "1946" at the half of the Bingham-Tooel- e game was also one of the most beautiful. The drill was patriotic and each girl carried an American flag The drill began by the en-trance of the girls from the two doors. At the climax of the drill, all lights were turned out and a spot light was placed on the brilliant American flag. There was a hush from the audience and Ann Pechina gave an oral reading of "God Bless America". This made you feel very proud to be an American and thankful to be living in such a grand country. The girls then marched off the floor. The senior girls of the club were really thrilled with the outcome of Minerette drills this year and we hope the perform-ance of these drills will mean as much to the Minerettes to come as they have meant to us.
