Rejrardles of how many playgrounds there are in an area, children will still run out or play in the street. Therefore it is the duty of every driver of a vehicle on our streets to be aware of child-ren in the street at any time and under any conditions and his responsibility as a citizen of this community to adhere to its traffic regulations. This week an extensive traffic sfaety program was laun-ched in Bingham Canyon by the police department under the direction of the city council. Compliance with present city traffic regulations and enforcement of same to the fullest extent will be a part of the program. Although the speed limit is listed at 20 miles per hour, ex-isting conditions in Bingham are such that the speed limit is being adjusted to meet the city and situations and will be en-forced according to existing conditions. This program was announced following a regular council meet-ing held Wednesday night. Motorists are also urged to b. careful of bicycles on the street and children are advised not to ride bicycles in at shift time when traffic is at its heaviest. Always drive carefully, observe traffic signs and be aware of the other person. A warning to motorists In the future all violations will be published weekly, in the Bulletin by order of the police department regardless of what or whom they may be. o FIREWORKS ARE BANNEDIN SALT LAKECOUNTY In cooperation with city and county officials in Salt Lake county, notice has been issued by the Bingham Volunteer Fire De-partment, through Chief John J. Creedon that fireworks will not be tolerated in Bingham. For many years the city has banned this dangerous practice, but some of the unincorporated communi-ties in the county have offered fireworks for sale openly, but Sheriff George Beckstead has promised strict adherence to the law outlawing the sale or poss-ession of fireworks in the entire county. Anyone caught with thus con-traband in their possession will be prosecuted to the limit. Spark-lers and cap guns are about the only fireworks that are legal in the state of Utah and with the concentrated efforts of all law enforcement units in the county working together, it will be the first time a real effort will be made to stamp out this hazard to life and property. The local police department has promised their full support with the fire department and the county officials. Let's all work together to make this a safe and sane Fourth of oJuly. B.D.A.A. AGAIN ST0PSJ5RIGHAM by Jim Abplanalp HELPER TAKES FIRST HALF HONORS The young and hustling Bing-ham ball club wound up first half play in the Utah Industrial Baseball league last Sunday with a 13 to 12 win over the Teaches from Brigharn City. It was the locals' fourth win, three over the same club, and served notice to the rest of the field that the Bingham crew would be in the thick of the scramble for second half laurels. Despite the amount of runs, the game was a thriller and had the large crowd alter-nately cheering and moaning as the lead see-sawe- d several times. Ragged play put the Peaches six runs ahead until the fifth inning when the locals started connect-ing with Story's slants for sever-al extra base blows. Jack Knud-se- n, BDAA left fielder, smashed out perhaps the longest single ever seen in baseball, when with two men on, he laced a scream-ing line drive between left and center that would have gone for three or four bases had not the runner leaving first base collap-sed with a pulled muscle at sec-ond to hold Jack at the initial sack. Added to the fine pitching by new-com- er DeCol, was a home run by third sacker Bill Green with one mate aboard and an-other homer by Cal Crump, next man up after Green. Crump's circuit smash into the right field bleachers was the first home run driven over the fence in the local park by a Bingham plaver and earned him the select baseball glove given by the Gemmell club for such a feat. PLAY MIDVALE HERE SUNDAY The Athletics have scheduled ,an exhibition game against a strong club from Midvale here Sunday at 8:15 p.m. Midvale, en-tered in the fast Federation lea-gue, has a crew of good hitters ana a fine ball club and should furnish a tough game. Don't miss it. ALL-STA- TILT TONIGHT Followers of Industrial baseball will be out for the All-St- ar benefit game at American Fork tonight between picked squads of the North and South teams. The game is slated to be-gin at 8:15 p.m. SECOND HALF STARTS JULY 7TH BDAA will play host to first half winners, Helper, here July 7 at 8:15 p.m. in the first game of the second half. Helper copped first half honors with 12 wins and 3 losses and will be out to do it again this half. SOFTBALL SLANTS Some of the largest crowds in history of the BDAA softbail chase have been turning out to cheer for and enjoy the fine en-tertainment at these fast games. This softbail league can be made into one of the finest in the state with a bit more work and coop-eration. We mean to give it all we can and make it very much worth while, but such things take work and time. Lets go af-ter it. Last week, league leading A & M defeated Emerald club 6 to 1 and copped the feature game of the season over Bingham Mer-chants 3 to 2 in a fast and well played nine inning battle. Bingham Merchants took their ether game 20 to 2 from the Lions is Gemmell club won a pair, 8 to 5 over the Eagles and 11 to 5 from B. R. & S. G. Lark won 13 to 12 over B. R. & 3.

Pete Radulovich (.1 Magna will pilot the North s,ars and Mandcll Wilson will handle the reins for the South. The North includes Magna, Brig-h;i- City and Bingham. The South, Helper, Provo and Amer-ican Fork. In previous years this game was taken verv lightly by 'iie players chosen and they often took this time to go fishing, but the league directors put their foot down this year and every manager was instructed to have Lis men there or his club would pay the penalty. So tonight the fans should be treated to a real game. Of the local boys, Knud-se- n and Crump drew starting as-signments. Green, Schick and Stuckenschneider were also chos-en. Zaccaria, the local mgr., will be one of the coaches for the North. In a well played game at ham Wednesday night, A. F. was on the long end of a 4 to 2 score. Mel Marlow, the A. F. esscntric left hander, was going along fine until he drew the heavho from Umpire Bush for using abusive language. Then Al "Nig" Tate finished the job by stringing out the side in the ninth inning. gave up to many base knocks in the wrong places. Ow-ens. Tate and Durant getting ba&e hits that meant runs. Magna plays Provo in the last game of the first half. Provo has cinched second place. The State Semi Pro tourna-ment will be held in Helper on July Don't know whether the local team is entering or not. But drawing like Helper puts then in for baseball, the win-ners should take home a nice piece of money. Everything is being done in the coal capitol to make this a record breaking tour-nament. I understand all of the state's outstanding teams have already sent their entries in. Remo Polidori and Jay Lam-bert, the two local heavyweights that meet at the fair ground on Jaly 11 have set up their train-ing camps and both boys are hard at work. Reports from Logan, where Remo has set up camp, are that the Tooele boy is punching harder and sharper every day. Jay does his training at the West Jordan club and Jensen, his man-ager, says "Jay will be ready". They have been trying to get these two together for a long time. Promoter Jim Downing put it off until he could put the show on in the open air. It will be sta-ged in front of the fair ground grandstand and the place is be-ing fixed to handle a crowd of 10,000. Rex Lane, Utah's most sensational young heavyweight, will be on the card, as well as three other top events. A great many Bingham fans .have already made reservations. II you want to go the writer will be glad to get you tickets. Until next week, AL. B.D.A.A. SOFTBALL STANDINGS Won Lost Pet.

AMERICAN LEGION iigham BASEBALL Legion team lost first league game to Sandy last Tuesday at the Sandy Both teams played well as ti got a few more hits.

TWO DAYS LEFT FOR COUNTIES TO HITBONDQUOTAS While the Opportunity Drive for the sale of U.S. Savings bonds is not being extended, due to banking methods, bonds sold on July 1 and 2 until the close of business on Saturday will count in the community, county and state drive quotas, Clem Schram, state director of bond sales,, an-nounced this week. There is a splendid opportunity yet for the state to go over the top, the fifth weekly report of the drive disclosed. The report includes all sales to June 18. On that date there were $2,784,514 in sales since May 16, leaving the state only $715,486 behind in its time quota on the basis of a six week drive. With the added days the quota may be reached. On June 18 five counties were over the top, Tooele leading with 145 per cent of a $70,000 quota. San Juan had 141 per cent on $8,000; Carbon 117 per cent on $100,000; Emery with 108 per cent of $5,000; and Uintah just over its $25,000 quota. All other counties are trailing considerably but Weber with 87 per cent on $700,000 and Salt Lake county with 80.5 per cent on $1,600,000 are the only other counties over the state average of 79.5 per cent. At the bottom of the list is Daggett with no report, Kane with 1.5 per cent of $7,500; Rich with .4 per cent of $5,000, and Piute with 3' per cent of $3,000. All are without banking connec-tions and all bonds are purchas-ed at post offices, so no estimate can be made upon them until at least a week after the close of the drive. "The intensity of effort in these last few days," Mr. Schramm de-clared, "may be the difference between success and failure for the county and state in making the quota, and the volunteer bond committees are urged to contin-ue their sales eltorl until late Saturday afternoon. If the banks are closed bonds may be purch-ased at the post offices, and they are open." SUMMER PLAYGROUND by B. J. Santistevan Last week ended the third week of playground work and at the baseball field it ended with a day of champions. A day of champions in the respect that the first quarter champs were crown-ed; also crowned champs and were the individual win-ners of our baseball carnival and team relay champs. Crowned first quarter champs in the Senior league was the Bingham team. This club has some good pitching and is bol-stered by Don Lipsey and Tom Garahana who are on the play-ground every day and keep this club at the top. In the Junior league the A & M Sky Larks were the league leaders with a 8-- 1 won-lo- st re-cord. On this ball team there is a boy named Louis Serrero who has not missed a day of play-ground and is hitting and field-ing the ball well for the Sky-Lar-along with Tommy James and Norman Chesler. The Popsicle league was a clean sweep by the Bingham Browns. This club went through the first quarter undefeated. The Browns have a bunch of boys w ho are always on the playground and depend on hitters and field-ers like little Frank Zdunieh, Don and Mike Carter and Rich Dor-rane- e. In the baseball carnival indi-vidual prizes were given for dif-ferent age groups. The cream of the crop in the 15 and 16 year-ol- d group was Ronnie Kastelic who garnered most of his points on the running events. In the 13 and 14 year-ol- d group Filomeno Ochoa and Don Mattson fought it out to a deadlock. In the 12 year old group there was a close race with Ronnie Muhar edging Butch Tyson by one point and winning hmself a new baseball as his award. Lynn Miller was the winner in , the 11 year-ol- d group with Dick Susaeta push-ing him hard. Little Tom Lovat garnered the most points in the 10 year old group and was crown-ed champ of that group. Joe Cos-tell- o who is the mgr. of the Cop-- Eerfield Eagles did himself well the 9 year old group by beating teammate Jack Har-ryma- n by two points. The 7 and 8 year old group was a neck to neck race between Dave Brisk and Bobby Davis with Brisk fin-ally winning by one point. All in all the first Baseball Carnival was very well received by the boys and if possible will be held every two weeks so that more boys will be able to win prizes. Week in and week out many kids from out of town and out of state visit our playground. This week we are glad to welcome Roy Contreras, L. A., Calif., Jer-ry Brisk from Spring City, Lee Smith from Brigharn City, and John Raso who is visiting here from Grand Junction, Colo. This seems to be it from your weekly baseball playground for now. Before closing for this week the playground directors and all the boys want to send a srjecial thanks to Bill Cown, Patty Davis and the Western Arms Sporting Goods store in Salt Lake City for donating all the prizes for our baseball carnival. It was really swell of all of you and we really appreciated it.

L. Turpin, Utah Fish and Game director. The Uin-tah lake area, itsll blanketed with snow and with many of the roads choked with snow drifts, will be the hot-be- d area for the second opening. The fish and gajne department has not been able 'to stock the high lakes this spring because of heavy snows. Hatcherymen are still waiting for the weather to clear the north slopes so that the fish trucks can get into Trial Washington Lakes and the area this side of Mirror lake. The state holds little hope that the Mirror lake road will be passable from Trial lake. Also opening will be the north slope of the Uintah mountains and such lakes as Marsh, China, Beaver, and the chain of lakes at the head of the north slope 'streams. Brid?er lake south of Fort Bridger, has suffered a heavy fish loss from winterkill. Turpin explained. This lake is out of the picture for this year. Two Brighton lakes in Salt Lake county will open they are Lake Mary and Twin lake. These wa-- i ters were kept closed past their normal opening because of ice and the danger factor. They are all set for action Saturday, how-ever. Sportsmen are urged to check on road conditions in the higher mountain areas before planning early season trips. Current Creek road was snowed in at both ends when checked June 24. This road like many others, may not be op-en by July 2, Turpin explained. EAGLES Frank C.
