O LDS RELIEF SOCIETY MARKS ANNIVERSARY j Bingham Ward Relief Society observed the 111th unniversary of the founding of the General Relief Society with a one o'clock luncheon and program at the church Tuesday, March 17. Mrs. Blanche Reid, president, assisted by Mrs. Dolly Caldwell and Mrs. Manila Anderson welcomed guests at the door. While guests were assembling a group of Irish melodies were played by Mrs. Esther James. A nicely appointed luncheon was served at tables arranged set with white linen graced with a large green sham-- : rock and white containers of heather, pussy willows, daffodils ' and greenery and tall green ta-- ; pers in crystal candalabra. To further carry out the St. Pat-rick's day theme, green and white plastic baskets filled with candy and nuts to which lucky numbers were attached were placed at ' each setting. Numbers on bas-kets corresponded with those given to guests when they ar-- i rived, and also served as place-card- s and favors. On a small lace covered table at the side was a large beautifully decorated birth-'- . day cake and three, gifts wrapped in St. Patrick's day colors to be given as draw prizes. Mrs. Rosella Nerdin was chairman of the lun-cheon assisted in decorations, preparation and serving by Mrs. Janus, Mrs. Ruth Stevenson, Mrs. Elfie Reid, Mrs. Anderson, and 'Mrs. Frances Boren. Acting as mistress of ceremon-- j ies was Mrs. Caldwell, program chairman, assisted by Mrs. Edna Thomas and Mrs. Edith Martin-!ea- u. The program given between dinner courses included original words to a song by Mrs. Thomas were sung by the group. Bishop iW. H. Harris offered grace and Mrs. Caldwell gave fitting marks on the Relief Society. A vocal duet was rendered by Mrs. Phoebe Siddoway and Mrs. Mary Raby accompanied by Mrs. Han-- i U4 Saudersun.

Rain and snow ac-counted for .56 of an inch pre-cipitation during the same per-iod. O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Provo and Utah Valley are proving that this is the hot bed of Utah basketball. The B school tournament being held in the new B Y U fieldhouse will break all records. For the after-noon games of the opening day were larger than the Utah field-hous- e could hold, and the fans were treated to some fine bas-ketball. Cyprus, the team near-est to us, lost the opening game to Union high from the Uintah Basin. Close observers till me the teams to watch are American Fork and Wasatch. A great many fans from Bingham took in the opening day games. The B tour-nament is a must for most Bing-ham people. I see where Dale Hall, former-ly of the Marv Jenson West Jor-dan stable of heavyweight box-ers has been committed to a hospital in Los Angeles. The boy is mentally sick. Another great looking prospect according to some of the boxing experts had a great deal of the glamour rub-- ' bed off when Benny Wise of Oak-- 1 land slopped Charley Kalani in three rounds by a TKO in Og-- j dt n. Charley is the boy that just joined the West Jordan stable. Rex Layne has been in train-- 1 ing for the Charles fight for some! time now and they have just, imported Grant Butcher from the! coast. Grant is a left hook artist so Jenson wanted Rex to learn something about blocking that punch, because Charles has one of the best hooks in the busi-ness. Layne will wind up hisi Salt Lake training this week end. He will then move to San Fran-cisco the site of the fight to the finish. This one should be a good pay off according to the advance sale. Jenson has some tickets left if anyone cares to see the fight. The State Fair Board has thrown the coliseum open to anyone that can show them that they have a good card to put on. j But what has been done to the fight game in Salt Lake makes it a very hazardous business. I still say that the fans of Salt! Lake City and vicinity will sup-port the fight game if they think they are going to get a fair shake for their money. Bingham is going to have base- - ball, that much looks assured. Who will run the club hasn't as yet been determined but several good men have made application, so I am sure the board will pick a good man. See you next week. AL O LADIES BOWLING Marion Johnson's 192 and Do-ree- n Delaney's 165 were high games in the Gemmell Club La-dies bowling league this week.

Neria, pre-sident of Local 568, International Association of Machinists who had been selected by all unions at Utah Copper to represent them. Mr. Pett congratulated employes on the high participation obtain-ed and urged employes to con-tinue the payroll savings plan. In his response, Mr. Neria cited the excellent team work between unions, the management and all employed as a large factor in the success of the bond campaign. D. C. Houston, general drive chairman, read congratulatory letters from Gov. J. Bracken Lee, Cong. Dawson and Son. Arthur V. Watkins. At the conclusion of the cere-monies, the flag and one of the pennants were raised on the re finery flag pole by the color guard of tiie Magna Drum and Bugle Corp. The flag will remain at the refinery for a week after which! it will spend a week each at the Arthur mill, the Magna mill and the mine. Clem S. Schramm, state direc-tor, U. S. Defense Bond division of the U. S. Treasury Department presided at the ceremonies and commented specifically on the planning and enthusiasm which! 'he said made Utah Copper Di-- ! vision's bond achievement pos-- i sible. The highest record for bond sales occurred at the Central Power Station with 97 partici- - pation. At the refinery, 94 of jthe 718 employees signed up forj bond purchases. A number of ' individual departments at the various operations reached 100.

B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp ' ALL-STAR- S DEFEAT LOBOS A picked team of "Stars" of the BDAA hoop league, proved too much for the visiting Lobos of Brigham City last Monday and ran up a 73 to 47 verdict, in an interesting exhibition at the Gemmell Club court. The Lobos, an Indian team from the Intermountain Indian; sciiool at Brigham City, showed some good plays and a lot of! hustle, but could not cope with the Stars' heighth and ability. H. Clah, with 12 points from the field, led the visitors scoring. W. Groves, the BDAA league's top scorer, led the locals with 1Q! from the field and 5 of 8 foul tries for a 25 point total. Lloyd of Rivorton, Bergen of the Winos and M. Niksich of the Yellow-bellie- s contributed 10 each for the winners. Fine Dance Performance During the half a group of dancers from this same school put on a very interesting per- - formance of Indian dances, in-- , eluding the intricate Hoop Dance. The dancers really put on a fine! show and were greeted enthusi-- ; astically by the large crowd that turned out. We wish to thank the fine ath- - letes and dancers from this school for their enter-tainment and thanks to the BD-- I AA basketball players who re-sponded to make this night such successful entertainment. Yellowbellies Cop Title In regular league play last Friday night, the Yellowbellies again clinched the championship in the BDAA basketball league, by downing Riverton 60 to 5ti. The champs have kept a per-fect slate with 8 wins and no losses, and are three games out front, with only two games re-maining to be played. Riverton dropped into a tie for second with A & M, each with 5 wins and three losses. M. Nick-sic- h and Groves led the winners' attack with 18 and 17 tallies and R. Jensen plunked in. 19 for the losers. A & M and the Redskins put on a ding dong skirmish, with the Redskins going down in a last minute drive 27 to 26. Mor-ret- ti and Ciscneros scored 8 each for the winners, the Redskins, each getting at least 3 points. Herriman forfeited their game to the Winos, due to absence of sev-eral players. Next Monday night, Herriman and Redskins clash in the opener at 7:00, Yellowbellies play the Winos at 8:00, and A & M will battle Riverton for second place at 9:00.
