JORDAN DISTRICT HOLDS ACTION ON TEACHER SALARY Because of an expected 25 per cent decrease in the assessed valuation of the Jordan School District this year, the board of education postponed action on teacher's salaries until the next meeting on April 22 at 7 p.m. With the recent cutbacks at the Bingham mine of Kennecott Copper Corp., district officials have been advised the assessed valuation may drop from $202 million to around $150 million, it was disclosed at the Friday night meeting. This mine has provided 85 per cent of the revenue in the past and if the cutbacks continue, Jordan could become one of the poorer districts in the state. The district's high standing in the past has been directly attributed to the mine, the board members reminded. The board granted permission for Draper students to attend school on Saturdays, starting Saturday, and for the school to close on May 13, about 10 days early. This request was granted so that a $178,000 remodeling program could begin. Supt. Peterson reported Jordan District was one of 100 districts selected throughout the United States to study the code of ethics by the National Education Assn. Jordan Education Assn., under direction of Merritt Poulson, president; E. L. Crawford and Jesse B. Casper, committee chair men. are now completing this study.

BINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL NEWS by Joyce Olsen Girls Club Dance Royally Julie Gallegos and Carol Steel were chosen king and queen of the Girls Club dance which was held last Friday night in BHS gymnasium. A large crowd at-tended to make the dance a big success. A lovely floor show was presented, consisting of two dances under the direction of Miss Virginia Harris, a vocal number "Kickashay" sung by Doris Abplanalp followed by a" piano solo "Jet" played by Jeanne Hausknecht. Safety Assembly A Safety assembly was pre-sented to the Senior high school Thursday morning. It was spon-sored by the Salt Lake Police department. A film was present-ed and students were introduc-ed to the possibilities of entering the Road-e-- o to be held at Mur-ray park i'l April. Yearbook Carnival Friday evening is the big night for the Yearbook Carnival. The time is 7:30 p.m. and everyone is invited to attend. There will be all kinds of stands, booths and entertainment. One of" the main events of the evening will be an auction on a puppy. Topp-ing off the evening will be a dance from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Tonight, Friday, Bobo Olson puts his newly won middleweight championship on the line against Kid Gavilan in a title fight at the Chicago stadium. Olson is a 7 to 5 favorite at the moment but may enter the ring at even money. Both are busy fighters. Olson is a boring in type that gives his man no Jet up. The Kid on the other hand fights in flurries but is a dangerous punch er from outside. Bobo will have a pull in the weight of about seven pounds 160 to 153. I per-sonally think Olson will prove too strong for the flashy Cuban kid. He is a natural 160 pounder and the Kid has been up to now a welterweight. I think the champ will make Gavilan fight his fight. Moving and punching z ' the time. The Kid's best ounces to my way of thinking is to get him early because Ol-son will get stronger and faster as the fignt goes along. So move over crow give me part of that j limb. I pick Olson. Garth Panter dropped another; one, this time in Paris to the Frenchman Humez. Garth is just too easily hit to go far in the game. He doesn't carry enough punch to give and take. But it was a nice trip. Baseball is the big talk now, and locally the high school team is getting into high gear with exhibition games. They dropped their first one to Granite but took West. With better weather they will soon be in top shape. The Bees are in spring train-ing and as yet nothing definite has come out of the camp as to the Salt Lake line-u- p. The local colleges will open on the 9th with Utah playing Mon-tana at the Ute field. Pros Sum-merha-has his squad in good shape after their trip to Arizona. They won three and lost three down South. One of their wins was over a great University of Arizona team that had already played 27 games. Mickey Culle-ton- , a local boy catching for Utah tells me he had a good chat with Bob Feller, quite a thrill for the boy. Mick, by the way, is first string catcher for Utah and a good one. In the big leagues, things are starting to shape up. The Yan-- j kees have had their poorest showing since Stengel took them over six years ago. Without Mantle and P.aschi they don't look the same, but then there isn't anyone in sight in the Am-erican league that can take them. Cleveland has too many prob-- I lems slow afoot and no good j Iff thander. The White Sox look the best but no power and shal-- i low in pitching, In the National, Brooklyn is the team to beat. Depends on their veterans holding up. Power to burn and good pitching plus Campanella. The Giants look the most improved with Mays back and Sal Maghies back in shape the Dorocher boys look tough. Milwaukee and Philadelphia of course are the other strong teams in the National. I look for a dog fight right from the wire. See you next week.

He is God, born of the Fa- - ther from all eternity; He is man, born of the Virgin Mary in time for man's .salvation. Christ was true man. He had a real body and a real soul with the facul-- ! ties that belong to human nature, The human nature of Christ was not an illusion or a mask which God put on, so to speak, to ac-- 1 compiish man's redemption, j Christ's human nature was a. trUe, real and proper nature like ours. "Christ is one Divine Person, the second person of the Most Blessed Trinity. But in the one Divine Person of Christ there are two natures, the Divine and the human. Tne two natures are distinct. They are not mingled or confused or separated. Just how these two natures were so in-timately united in the Incarna-tion is "the second greatest mys-tery of the Christian religion, surpassed only in depth and grandeur by the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. In the words of St. Paul, 'In Him (Christ) dwelt the fulness of the Godhead bodily' (col. 2, 9). In Christ, we worship the Second Person of the Trinity who assumed a hu-man nature. Because of its inti-mate union with the Divine Per-son, this assumed human nature is worshiped with the same rev-- j erence as God. We would not be j worshiping the whole Christ if we directed our worship to his' divine nature alone. Christ used this assumed human nature as an instrument' to redeem man. As God, He could not suffer or die Such actions are proper only to creatures. Christ in His Divine Nature could not die, but He did redeem us by suffering and dy-ing in His assumed Human na-ture." B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Baseball Meeting April 7 The Northwest Semi-pr- o base-- , ball directors will hold a meet-ing at Magna next week, Wed-nesday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m. According to President Frank Zaccaria, the same teams that made up last year's league will be back again. This meeting will be held for the purpose of de-termining a schedule, the presen-tation of team rosters and pay-ment of league assessments. Last season the league was comprised of teams from Midvale, Morgan, Layton, Magna, Deseret Chem-ical of Tooele and Bingham. Lea-gue play will begin about the middle of May, with a definite date being set at the April 7th meeting. Local Outlook Manager Herb Babcock is ex-pecting several of last year's ball club back again, and also knows he will lose a few. Opening datO; for practice sessions will be an- - nounced in the near future, and all who would like tryouts are invited. Players interested in trying out for the BDAA ball team should contact Babcock, and be ready to go when the first work outs are held. We'll let you know soon. Preps Begin Play Bingham high school baseball-er- s are already hard at work rounding into shape for regular league play. Coach Bailey San-- : tistevan already has played his squad in a couple of practice tilts, and is expecting another good club. Remember, you BDAA base-ball fans, all Bingham high's! home games, all of the BDAA team's home games, and all of the BDAA games at Magna are free to our members. Thats a lot of baseball, over twenty-fiv- e games, and we hope all BDAA fans come out this year and en-joy this splendid entertainment. Let's all go to the ball game, the more people the better.
