More, in a state " tcj with communities sta-- ' annual celebrations, this vlll be one of the few Utah celebrations with an inspir-it greater than the observ-itsel- f. ;C pride aroused many , 'unities to seize an excuse day or clays celebrating peculiar distinction. As a world famous engineer-rfterpris- e located in a dis-o- f vast reserves of ore, am's contribution to the and to the west is unques-::!- y remarkable. It is no to exploit a product, no for commercial publicist's hankering for which is behind this I'M for a few days Bingham's history, her and her possibilities. ,!ena days was first held in ) 1939 and since has held annually with the ex-- n of the war and post war . The last celebration was - in 1947. The celebration is i ated by the wish of many .is to pay proper respects energy, resourcefulness persistence that directed de-cent of Bingham's inex-ibl- e resources. It is the re-j- f their wish to recall a past .Bingham was a name syn-:- w for a life rollicking and ;g, when strikes and bon-- ; were the lessee's marvel-possibiliti- es and fortune's : was an unpredictable but .".ting possibility, r a brief four-da- y period 3:ngham of 30 saloons, of ' boarding houses, queer and "tic characters, of noise and e halls and mercurial gay-ri- ll be recreated.

VS HELPER HERE TONIGHT Bingham will play host to the Helper nine, in an 8:15 game, tonight at the Copperton sta-dium. Helper recently won the state semi-pr- o championship at Helper, defeating Kenilworth 3 to 2, in a battle. Manager Wilson of the Mer-chants will likely start his new left-hande- r, Connell, on the mound, and will have Max Pes-sett- o and Venturelli to take ov-er if needed. Zaccaria, manager of the local nine, will probably start one of his right handed aces, Vic Stuek-cnschneid- er or Geo. Trejo. The locals have received sev-eral set-bac- ks in second half play, winning only from the first half champs, American Fork 10 to 4, but are not out of the running yet, and are capable of upsetting pennant hopes of any club. Second half play so far In the Industrial league has found things topsy turvy, with tail-ende- rs knocking over the top clubs, and the lead in doubt nearly every game. Bingham lost a close thriller to Provo last week and will be trying hard to get back in the win column tonight. SOFTBALL SLANTS! I SOFTBALL ON DONKEYS! There will be lots of fun and excitement at the Copperton Softball park Sunday night at 8:00 p.m., as a couple of the lo-cal nines put on a neck and neck race to see who is the biggest donkey. Or, we mean the boys will get together with a bunch of donkeys to see who are the best softball players. Anyway, the two local softball teams will put on an exhibition game play-ed on donkeys, and we bet you won't be able to tell which is which after about the first quar-ter mile, I mean inning. Don't miss this load of fun and laughs. Besides the game, a special feature will be held, and you will get plenty of horse, er (donkey) laughs out of the en-tertainment. This game will be sponsored by .the owners of the donkeys, so you must pay a small admission, but it will be well worth it. In regular league play, Hunts-man's Chevrolet is out front with two wins, no losses. High-land Boy and Princess theatre have each won a game, with no losses as the Eagles and Gem-me- ll club having lost their only game, and A & M dropping both of its contests. The boys played again last night, and will battle as sched-uled Monday, July 31st. Circumstances caused the withdrawal of Lark from this league, so for the remainder of the schedule, the team that was scheduled to play La.rk will play an exhibition game against the team that draws a bye. There will be three games each night, but the exhibition game will not count in league standings. O PUMPS TO AID FIRE FIGHTERS ATLARK MINE Lowering of two large submer-sible pumps to the 1000-fo- lev-el of Lark shaft in the United States Smelting Refining and Mining Co. lead mine was ef-fected Wednesday afternoon and pumping was expected to get underway Thursday morning. The two pumps, aided by throe booster pumps at the shaft's 500-fo- ot level, will be used to clear the bottom of the shaft of an estimated 15 feet of water, said Byron E. Grant, assistant man-ager of the company's western mines. Installation of the boost-ers was completed early Wed-nesday. Meanwhile, fire fighting crews had pushed some 200 feet into blazing rubble at the 500 foot level in efforts to extinguish the blaze that has been burning since July 16. Attack against the fire started Monday after the search for three of five men trapped in the mine since the fire started was temporarily discontinued. When the fire is extinguished and the water pumped out, the search will continue for Clyde Augustson, 41; Robert Gordon Meyerhoffer, 37, and Leland D. Nielsen, 37. Two others, Horace Martin Seal and Byron G. Thomas, were found dead near the Lark shaft in the Mascotte tunnel on July 17 BASEBALL PLAYGROUND by Bailey J. Santistevan, Area Director Spruces was in store last week for the playground. Over 70 stu-dents from the area made the three-da- y camping trip and a thrilling time was had by all. Supt. Paul Rose was present and awarded prizes to the winners of the handicraft dept. contest which was staged at Spruces. Hiking, games, singing and en-tertainment program put on by the leaders and a few Bingham people, made the stay even more enjoyable. Governor of the camp was Dick Roblez who made sure that the grounds were kept clean at all times and imposed fines to those who got out of line. As a special project our area is to put up a flag pole at the Spruces lodge and will do so when given the orders from El-mo Brady, supervisor of Spruces. Before leaving for Spruces, a baseball carnival was held at our playgrounds. Everyone on the playground participated and a lot of ability was shown by the boys. After totaling up all the points the following were the winners: years 1, Marion Cowdell; 2, Jack Peterson; 3, Dave Peterson; years 1, Bob Peterson; 2, Ronnie Bor-e- n; 3, Tom Lovat; years 1, Joe Costello and George s; 2, Joe Karl; 3, George Markovich; 7 years 1, Harold Susaeta; 2, Richard Johnson; 3, Paul McMullin. Tuesday was tournament day with teams from Lark, Magna, Monroe, Garfield and Bingham playing for places in the county-wid- e tournament. Baseball was played all morning and after-noon with about 18 teams battl-ing for the crown. After the smoke was cleared the follow-ing three champs were crowned: Major league was won by our Bingham Bosox, while the Min-or and Giant league was taken by Magna.

Another coming attraction in August will be the Ruth, Nev recreation dept. sending down teams to play our boys. Super-visor there is Dean Stringham, and arrangements have been made through him.

This is the largest single weekly report of E bond sales of any drive since the end of war. One week ago it seemed that Utah weuld not meet its quota and the call went out through the press, radio, county chairmen, volunteers, banks and postmasters, urging renewed ef-fort to put Utah over the top. "The results of the combined efforts of all groups and the pur-chasing of savings bonds by the citizens of Utah are indeed grati-fying," said Mr. Charles L. Smith state chairman of the savings bond committee, "and keep Utah among the states who have nev-er failed to meet their quota. My sincere thanks to all those who have participated." The purchase of E bonds thru banks, post offices and other Issuing agents amounts to against a quota of according to Clem S. Schramm, Utah director of bond sales for the treasury. In addi-tion to the local sales, $169,000 was allocated to Utah from pur-chases made by civilian federal employees and army and navy personnel. This in turn is allo-cated to the counties based on their percentage of the state quota. This allocation gives Utah a total of 111.8 per cent of quota. Salt Lake County had made 107.2 per cent of a quota of o REGISTRATION DAY NEXTTUESDAY Next Tuesday, August 1, will be the last chance for citizens to place their names on the regis-tration books, so that they will be eligible to vote in the Sep-tember 5th primary.
