An Independent Newspaper BINGHAM CANYON, UTAII, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1952 Oldest Weekly In Salt Lake County TELEPHONE 91 Highland Boy Community House To Celebrate 25th Anniversary in general. This work includes medical and social work, settle-ment work, work in isolated rur-al areas, work in city, town and country churches, teaching as house mothers, housekeepers and hostesses in Methodist homes for children, business girls and re-tired workers, work in directing recreation, playgrounds, summer camps and religious training. Under the capable leadership of Miss Duhigg and her untiring staff, the "House of Joy" has more than fulfilled the heavy work schedule required of them. The House sponsors Methodist groups such as the Home Guards, Questers, Queen Esthors, Metho-dist Youth fellowship and mis-sionary organizations. In addi-tion Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, li-brary facilities, summer and winter recreation programs, so-cial activities, handicrafts, medi-cal and social work are all a part of services offered at the Community House. Extensive lecture tours to all parts of the United States are also included in the duties of Miss Duhigg and her staff. The present" staff consists of Deaconess Ada Duhigg, Deacon-ess Mildred May and Mrs. Linna Duhigg, mother of Deaconess Du-- by. Steve Smilanich Highland Boy's most famous landmark is celebrating it's sil-ver anniversary Sunday. Of course, a big birthday party is scheduled as the Highland Boy Community House observes it's 25th anniversary, but the work,' Elay and worship schedule which characterized the scene for a quarter century will continue while hundreds of former High-land Boy residents return home to visit and pay homage to High-land Boy's "House of Joy." One of Highland Boy's most distinguished citizens also will share Sunday's . .birthday spot-light. She is Deaconess Ada Du-higg, superintendent of the Com-- ; munity House, who has complet-ed 20 years of service at the High-land Boy institution. It is this two-fol- d occasion ..which is pro-ducing more than the usual of activity at the House this week. Dr. Paul.' S. Richards, Bing-ham's well known doctor, will deliver the birthday message Sunday evening at which time Miss ..Duhigg will be honored. Sunday' services will begin at 7 p,m. Unlike the abandoned mines which once made Highland Boy a boom town, the Highland Boy Community Hpuse has survived as a guardian of faith in this transformed Community House has survived as a guardian of faith in this .transformed com-munity where the once highly productive mines have succumb-e- d to time and geology. The Highland Boy Community House was dedicated October 2, 1927. Since that the giant am-phitheater and multicolored stra-ta of the giant Kennecott Copper Corporation open pit mine have virtually fanned .out . on both sides of the structure. The life of the Community House has vir-tually paralleled the growth, hardships and productiveness of the huge copper pit. While serving this community of 500 with 2 nationalities- - and 12 denominations and faiths re-presented, .the : round-the-cloc- k program 6f enrichment for spir-itual, mental and bodily health, which the Community House has brought to its immediate sur-roundings, has spread a christian influence throughout the entire Bingham Canyon area. Sponsored by the Women's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church, the schedule of activities at the Community House represent deaconess work A native Iowan, who traded the plains of Iowa for the moun-tains of Utah and Bingham, Miss Duhigg served as a public school teacher for six years in Huron, South Dakota before completing missionary training at the Kan-sas City Deaconess Training School. Easily recognizable in her black dress, white clergical col-lar and warm smile, Miss Du-higg- 's rs of leadership, wisdom, counsel and devotion to duty have more or less establish-ed her as one of the outstanding women missionaries in the west a honor she rightfully deserves and humbly accepts. A complete history of events undertaken by Miss Duhigg and her staff can- never be writterrr In most cases it is the intangible results of ,hard work and devo-tion that are most rewarding to a missionary. Such is the case at the. Highland Boy Community House. While fires, landslides, snow-slide- s, strikes, exhausted veins of ore and other problems have fill-ed Bingham's colorful history, the Highland Boy Community House still stands to serve the people it has served continually for - w.

CANYON LODGE SETS OCTOBER MEETINGS October meetings of Canyon Lodge No. 13, F. & A. M. were announced this week by Carl Kanniainen, 'worshipful master. Two regular meetings are sched-uled for the" month. They are: Tuesday, October 14, conferring of F. C. Degree, and Tuesday, October 29th. On the latter date Brig. Gen. Franklin Riter, a member of Mt. Moriah lodge No. 2, is scheduled to speak on the subject "Proposed Federal Con-stitutional Amendments and Their Importance in the Present Crisis". Both meetings are slated to start at 7:30 p.m. All Master Masons are Cordially invited. BE SURE AND REGISTER NOW Charges and counter-charge- s are being hurled in the political campaign which is attracting in-creasing attention. There will be, of course, excellent opportunity for confusion, disgust and loss of rea 1 issues in the remaining weeks before the general election on Tuesday, November 4th. Vot-ers should make every effort to study platforms, to inform them-selves on candidates, and where-eve- r possible make personal con-tact with the candidates. If our government is to be prepresenta-tiv- e of the wishes of the people, voters must study issues and re-gister their wishes. It has been suggested that: "If Freedom Is Worth Dying For, It Is Certainly Worth Voting For". Men from this community are on foreign battlefields to fight as Americans. Yet there are those enjoying thee privileges of citi-zenship who yet have so little interest in the welfare of our country that they have failed to register as voters and have no intention of casting a ballot, a duty of citizenship which is safe and relatively pleasant when compared with the hazards fight-ing men face. HAVE YOU REGISTERED? Here are the four remaining dates in which you may do so: Tuesday, October 7; Tuesday, October 14; Tuesday, October 28, and Wednesday, October 29. Places in which you can regis-ter are: Bingham district registration agents are: District 350 (Copperton) Ag-nes ,M. iMilner, 208 -- 4th East, Copperton; District 351 (lower Bingham) Lottie Rawlings, 19 Dixon Ave.; District 352 (Upper Bingham) Ruth Householder, 558 Main; District 353 (Copperfield) Stella Klopenstine; District 354 (Highland Boy) Milka Smilanich, R. R. 1, Box 50; District 355 (Lark) Zelma J. -Peterson. . . Registration places will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. FIRE INSPECTION PLANNED FOR COMING WEEK The fire department will in-spect all public buildings, stores, hotels and apartment houses dur-ing Fire Prevention Week which opens October 5th. The department has been split up into 25 teams of two men each and each team will be given a specific area to inspect and re-port on. Inspection blanks will be checked by the officers fol-lowing tne inspection and a fol-low up will cover those places having definite fire hazards. The firemen will appreciate the cooperation of the owners or oc-cupants of the premises inspect-ed by accompanying the inspec-tors and following the recommen-dations for the improvement of the buildings. Any home owner who desires an inspection can have a team of the firemen inspect their home by contacting Chief John J. Creedon or Assistant Chief Louis Arritola. The department is proud of the record of the past few years and realize that the greater part of the credit for the splendid record in Bineham is due to th ennn- - eration of the public with the fire department in making our town safe from fire. This is the worst season of the year for grass fires and the de-partment has put out two or three of these fires in the past week, although no alarm has been turn-ed in. Be careful where you throw your matches or cigarette, espec-ially along the highways as the grass is tinder dry and can take off in a matter of seconds. o TWO DIE IN . CAR MISHAP ONNEW ROAD Two Utah County men, Wesley Moore, 25, Orem, and James Ed-win Mayfield, 25, Provo, were killed in a grinding automobile accident early Monday morning when their vehicle went out of control on Utah highway 48, the new Bingham highway, slid 70D feet and rolled over four times. Both were believed to have been killed instantly in the accident which demolished the car. Capt-C- . W. Brady, Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff, reported the men apparently were traveling at a high rate of speed toward the east along the highway which recently was opened to traffic. The mishap occurred about one mile west of the railroad crossing at Welby or between five and six miles west of Redwood road. The driver, Mr. Moore, appar-ently fell asleep and lost control of the car. The car ran down the right side of the highway for 237 feet, came back onto the high-way and slid sideways for anoth-er 239 feet before it flipped over and continued down the highway for 233 feet, rolling over four times in the latter distance, Capt. Brady said. GRIEGO RITES .

One-- cimo Medina, 52, and Mrs. Fred-- I encia Medina, 52, both of Bing-ham. The accident occurred last Sat-urday at 7000 So. Redwood Road when Mr. Griego apparently tried to pass another car.

V Sports Here and There by Al Afrlett Cyprus may have been the fa-vorite but the Miners were the ball club last Friday night. A packed stadium saw the Miners turn in a 30 to 19 victory on the strength of Gary LaComb's beau-tiful broken field runnins and the greatest down field blocking ever seen on the Copperton field. Gary scored all five touchdowns. Four of them on long runs. The most dramatic coming in the fourth quarter after Cyprus had made it 19 o 24. The redhead put it on ice with a 68-ya- rd gal-lop that found the Miners mow-ing down . Cyprus tacklers like ten pins. j On defense Robertson and Ochoa, the Bingham ends, kept the Cyprus runners from going outside, and when the chips were down the middle that Miner for-ward wall stopped everything that came their way. A great game won by eleven kids that didn't know the word quit. The (Miners play Wasatch here tonight, Friday. Should win this one, but they can't afford a let down. The bench is too thin for that. Boxings' winter season got off to a flying rfitart last Monday at the fairgrounds coliseum with the Dunlap vs Agramonte scrap topping a great card. These two big boys put up a scrap that will be remembered for a long time. Agramonte got beat but he was just like Joe DiMaggio, with two strikes on him he could hit one out of the park with-on- e swing. He put Dunlap down in the first and again in the third with that lightning like right hand and it was a threat even in the late sta- - when he was getting beat, unlap has a great left hook and when he found the range with it he gave the Cuban a going over. Having him on the deck twice in the seventh and eighth rounds. Both boys were tired at the end with goocL reasons because as I have said a great fight. The rest of the card was of the same pattern. Jack Nelson beat Burns in the semi-fina- ls but Jack is far from being ready for the good boys. Next week it is Willie James from Boston, the boy that beat Layne, against Hall of the Jensen stable. This should be another great bout. See you next week.

BINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL NEWS by Joyce Olsen BINGHAM UPSETS CYPRUS The game held here" last week " was really a thriller, the team really gave all they had, and the student body played their part in the game too, by really yell-ing and showing the high school spirit. The band also participat-ed in the evening and marched between halves. Final score of the game was 30 to 19. This week the Miners play Wasatch here. So everyone be there. PEP ASSEMBLY There was a pep assembly giv-en Friday, afternoon. Charles Ball sang two numbers, Coach San-tistev- an introduced the football squad and a yell practice follow-ed.

' BMA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp MINERS MEET WASPS Bingham's battling Miners hope to ward off the sting of the Wasatch Wasps tonight at Cop-perton in another Region Two grid clash. The Wasatch eleven has a well banlanced clu band the locals are taking nothing for granted, after their upset win over a favored Cyprus crew last week. Coach Santistevan's crew turn-ed in a sparkling all around per-formance last week to down the Pirates 30 to 19. Gary LaComb, with some of the finest ball-luggi-seen around these parts for many moons, ran the opposition di2zy, to rack up all five Bing-ham touchdowns and fairly skim off the grass in his gallops. Gary was aided, no end by beautiful blocking of his teammates. Time after time he was set free as Bingham bowled over the would be Pirate defense. Both Bingham ends, Ochoa and Robertson turn-ed in great jobs, funneling the hard running Cyprus offense in-to the middle, where the entire line beat down attack after at-tack. Brent Peterson passed like a veteran and the entire squad played inspired football. Coach Santistevan has the boys work-ing hard to stay primed for the tough ones left. Game time tonight is 8:00 p.m. Be sure and have your BDAA cards ready. Just A Few Days Morel Yep, just a few days left until that night of fun at the Gem-me- ll club! Saturday, October 11, will be here mighty soon, and then the folks will be taking home those beautiful gifts that have been on display at the Utah Power & Light company. The BDAA will give these splendid articles away to help bolster the funds that go to pro- vide Bingham with the best and least costly sports activities and entertainment. Donations from you sports fans can help keep alive our great program of year round entertainment. It is difficult to continue top notch activities with the same membership dues of five years ago, due to increased cost of equipment, etc. but with your aid here and there We hope to continue and even better the fine programs we have had.
