James at Bingham Post Oltice. Suggestions helpful both to . mailers and postal officials con-fronted with the task of handling a heavy volume of holiday mail were made as follows: Purchase stamps in advance of rush and prepay postage fully on all mail. Wrap and tie packages with good quality paper and cord. Address plainly and com-pletely, preferably in ink. In-clude return address in upper left corner. A slip containing the name and address of sender as wejl as the addressee should be placed inside all parcels. . A 3c stamp on greeting cards permits sealing, written messag-es, forwarding if addressee has moved . and first class handling , . of the piece. A 2c stamp will carry cards, not exceeding two ounces, as third class mail, un-sealed and without unauthorized writing inclosed. You can help expedite your Xmas . cards if you will separate those for local delivery from those for out of town delivery and arrange them so that the ad-dresses all face one way. They may then be tied in bundles witn ' one of the labels being placed on top of each bundle to indi-cate whether or not local deliv-ery is involved. Local postmen will deliver one of the above mentioned labels to every home in the area next week, Mr. James said. In addressing Darcels and cards to children it would be greatly appreciated and most helpful if such be addressed to the child in care of his parents so as to aid - postal officials in delivery. In this community where many last names are the same it is some-times hard to determine who the " intended . person is, Mr. James said. Mailing deadlines issued to in-sure delivery in time for Xmas are as follows: to eastern states, as soon as possible; west coast by December 8th and intermountain area by December 15th. Greet-ings for local delivery should be mailed at least a week before Christmas. . ... ' REX TRIPP RENAMED TO SCHOOL BOARD In Wednesday's school board election, Rex T. Tripp, No. 1 Heaston, Bingham, was reelected to the Jordan District school board by near acclamation, as he was unopposed. However five write-i- n ballots were cast for three other residents and two ballots were invalidated as Mr. Tripp received 367 out of the 374 votes cast. Receiving the write-in-s were Earl James and Francis Quinn, two each, and Marko Yengich one. Mr. Tripp is completing his seventh year as member of the Jordan District board of educa-tion. He is manager of the Bing-ham Mercantile Co. for which he has served in all capacities for the past 39 years. . o FIREMEN HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION TUESDAY NIGHT Officers of Bingham Volunteer Fire Department elected at the regular meeting held Tuesday night at No. 1 Fire Hall to serve during the coming year are: Ross M. Cushing, president; Martin Prigmore, vice president; Hos-m- er Peterson, secretary; Joseph Timothy, treasurer; John J. Cree-do- n, chief, and Louis J. Arritola, assistant chief.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Well, Dunlap got beat by Coley Wallace. Just a case of a good little man meeting a good big man. Must have been a great fight, for the paper said Wallace collapsed at the end of the scrap. But 22 pounds is just too much. The fights last week in Salt Lake proved to me that this boy Kid Leon has the makings of a good boy. He had been down with a cold before his fight but got a draw with Nicholes of Boise, one of the best in the Pacific North-west. Will try and show this boy on the first Gemmell club card. Kid Leon is a former Bingham boy. His name is Gustove Leon. Pancho, his brother, was one of the best known boys in Bingham. Have had an opportunity to watch the high school basketball team practice the last couple of nights, so here is some kind of a line on the team. Coach Allsop has four men back from last year and with their experience they seem to have the inside track on starting berths. Nick Rekoutis and George Apostal on the guard line and Gary LaComb paring with Son-ny . Robertson on the forward line. There are four boys put-ting on a ding dong battle for the center post, big Brent Peter-- son, Marion CowdelL Jack Man-nio- n and Ronald Huntsman. Pe-terson is a junior and Jack Man-nio- n is a sophomore. Huntsman and Cowdell are seniors. It looks like the success of the team lays in this center spot. If one of these boys can fill the bill, Allsop will have a ball club capable of mak-ing a race. Of course this is by no means the boys that will open the season, because this is one of the best squads I have seen at Bingham high. As far as spirit foes every boy out is giving his and there are some good looking kids, so any one of them may be the spark. - Sunny has Julie Gallegos, Pete Niksich, Frank English, Eddie Muhar,. Wilford Coca, Harold Smith, Chris Katis, Raymond Garamendi, Phil Ochoa and Non-da- s Roumpas besides the boys already mentioned. So your pick is as good as anyone's at this stage of the game. They played Park City last week and lost 39 to 29, but as Sunny has always used these pre-seas- games to see what he has, these games mean nothing. .They play their first home game next Wednesday at 2:45 p.m. with Morgan. But as I watch this squad I am convinced that they will give a good account of themselves. See you next week. AL XMAS STREET DECORATIONS in Christmas street decorations, consisting of strings of gayly colored lights and lighted Christ-mas trees placed in brackets the street were installed last week end under the direc-- l tion of Lawrence West, William Hennings, Ralph "Walters, John 'Stevenson and Leonard Bell, as-sisted by 14 Lions club members.
