FRIDAY EVENING AT THE 'SUPER' Iflfliri ffi II Lee T witu four $?3Vl IaL wfesnjV!? J To &o To So f BUY EASTER SEALS TODAY Easter Seals went out today to 185,000 residents of Utah as the Utah Society for Crippled Child-ren and Adults took the first step in launching the greatest cam-paign for crippled children in its 34-ye- ar history. The campaign which officially opened March 10, continues thru Easter Sunday, April 10, is the one annual opportunity provided residents in Utah and across the nation to contribute financial as-sistance to crippled children's services, according to Kenneth H. Roth, executive director of the Utah Society. Mr. Roth pointed out that over 90 per cent of all money collect ed remains in Utah and is used in direct service to the handicapp-ed. No charge is made for any service given and these services consist of physical therapy, oc-cupational therapy, speech and hearing correction, recreational therapy. The Society maintains buses for the transportation of crippled children to and from schools of special education. They provide these children with brac-es, crutches, wheel chairs and other equipment necessary to their rehabilitation. Of the seventy thousand dol-lars callected in Utah last year, only $5,023.00 was spent in ad-ministration and this included all services. It is important that the people of Utah know how their money is being spent. When you give to the Eas-ter Seal campaign, you are ac-tually helping crippled children who need your help.

BJ).Ai FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp LOCALS SET HOOP RECORDS The local peep hoopsters wound up regular season play Tuesday night in a blaze of glory,' as they set some new records for high school competition. Although the Miners failed to gain an entry into the "B" tour-ney, they turned in what is be-lieved to be a team scoring re-cord as they easily downed Dug-wa- y 109 to 46. The other new re-cord was set by none other than big likeable Jack Mannion. Jack scored with every conceivable shot in the book to total 22 field goals and 6 charity tosses for the amazing record breaking count of 50 points. The entire Miner squad concentrated on helping Big Jack run up a new record, and the results were about as everyone expected. In the first eight minutes of play, Mannion caught fire and scored the unbelievable total of 25 points, (shades of the fabulous Bevo Francis). The big lad cool-ed off somewhat for the next two periods, but again busted loose for another spree in the final five or six minutes. Some people may say this was against an easy team but here's a few accomplishments of the state's outstanding prep hoop star; Jack amassed a total of 298 points for 11 league gam-es, an average of 26.9 per game. Four of these games were against Cyprus and Murray, two of the best B teams in the state, and both considered the best defen-sively. Jack's second best output was against Murray, with 38 points. In his last five league games he scored something like this: 38 against Murray, 24 again-st Tooele, 37 against Grantsville, 32 at Judge, and 50 in his final at Bingham against Dugway. This adds up to 181 points for 5 games or believe it or not, a mere aver-age of 36.4 points per. So we would like to say, our hats are off to a very fine group of boys, and their coaches. We congratulate the outstanding per-formances of our local hero and his teammates, and wish them all best of luck from here on. BASEBALL BANTER ' The Northwest Semi-pr- o loop met last month, but came to no definite arrangements.
