PRE-GALEN- DAYS DANCE SLATED SATURDAY. JULY 24TH AT CIVIC CENTER A pre-Gale- Days dance is scheduled to be held at the Civic Center on Saturday, July 24th according to Bob Jimas, general chairman of the celebration. The dance will also serve as a recep-tion for Queen Galena, Miss Lu-cy Zanardi and her two attend-ants Miss Lela Coca as Princess Copper and Miss Colleen Man-sion as Princess Silver who will appear in their Galena Days out-fits. Dancing is slated to get under-way at 9:30 p.m. with music to be provided by Mrs. D. Wayne Morris and her orchestra.

Business included okeh-in- g for payment of miscellaneous bills amounting to $1,433.70 and a payroll totaling $1,276.77. Ap-proval was given to Kennecott Copper Corp. to install a 12-in-water line down Freeman and under pavement of Main street into the sewer channel. The council also voted to con-solidate the streets and water departments into one department and announced appointment of Leonard Bell as its head. Mr. Bell will work under the direc-tion of the city council. He was present at Wednesday night's meeting at which he received in-structions as to his duties in that position. It was also stated that effec-tive immediately, repairs on sewerage and plumbing for pri-vate individuals will not be handled by city employees. The city council advises resi-dents to be conservative in use of water due to the fact that the water supply is at its lowest dur-ing this period of the year and the heavy demand during the present heat wave. Your coop-eration is asked in avoiding un-necessary waste of water. VIGILANTES NOW ONTHE PROWL Preparations for the Galena Days celebration to be held in Bingham Canyon August are gaining momentum. From now until the celebration, clean-shaven males heading for the Bingham area will do well to be mi the lookout for the vigilantes, for it is "against the law" to go clean-shave- n in Bingham, unless you have a shave permit. This warning was issued recently by Bob Jimas, celebration chairman. The vigilantes' committee head eil by Boyd Anderson who was appointed as chief of the vigil-antes, is now launching a "crack-down" on violators of this law. The offenders will be cited into a kangaroo court to be held ev-ery Sunday and also several times in between until the cele-bration. The crackdown will take in tourists, too. However, in some ".special cases" including the tourists, shaving permits will be sold. Herbert Gust has been named to act as judge. A public pre-Gale- Days dance will be held at the Civic Center on Saturday evening, Ju-ly 24th, it was reported. Residents are reminded that a museum of items representing early-da- y Bingham Canyon is also being planned in the busi-ness district for this year's cele-biatio- n. Anyone who either knows of or has suitable items they would be willing to donate or loan for use in the museum are asked to contact C. A. "Spud" Mi.rley, chairman of the museum committee. Small items, particu-larly are desired, such as early-da- y pictures, miners' picks, lamps and other items that are small enough to be suitable for display. j LOCAL NOTES The Bingham BDAA's 21 to 9 win over Magna-Garfiel- d last week netted the Bingham nine the first half championship of the Northwest Semi-pr- o league.

The Bingham crew was assured of the crown after down-ing Magna-Garfiel- d at Magna in a slug fest 21 to 9. Manager Herb Babcock will have the same line up practically intact for second half play, with the addition of maybe a new pitcher or two. The boys have been garnering plenty of hits in their last several games, but could do with another reliable hurler. Defensively the local club has held up pretty well, but could stand improvement. Bingham will open second half! play Sunday, July 18, at 2:00 pm. against the rejuvenated Layton club at Layton. This squad show-ed a lot of power and improve-ment in late games of the first half, and must be reckoned with in the second round chase. Most of the clubs will be try-ing to strengthen their rosters for second half play, and the race should be a great deal more ex-citing. The BDAA nine will play its first home game at Copperton, July 21, in a night affair against Morgan at 8:00 p.m. The Bing-ham merchants and business men are again donating some very fine prizes to be given at all of the BDAA home games. Everyone present will have a chance to win, so come on out and have some fun, while supporting our baseball team. SUPPORT SOFTBALL CLUBS Besides sponsoring a men's softball team in the Salt Lake County Recreation league, "BDAA recently lent support to a ladies team, playing in a valley league. The ladies squad was aided by the addition of some needed ' catchers equipment and several new softballs and bats. We hope ' to have some news about these two softball clubs, and will try and keep you posted as to their progress.

You're Introduced by a mutual friend who leaves the two of you alone and wanders off. It takes but a moment or two to discover that neither of you have anything In common. He thinks your hobby is a time-waste- r. The clubs you belong to don't carry their weight of the civic burden. He thinks your views on politics are antiquated. In a situation like this, it doesn't take long for your side to run out of polite conversation. Yet, he goes on, and on, and on, until you come to deride that he's really a friendly and well - meaning fellow even though you can't agree with a word he says. Mind you, this is not the only type of "perhapser." You And all kinds, even those who agree with everything you say. This type often leaves you with the impression they would make an excellent next-doo- r eighbor. "Perhapser" traits are never evident when you first meet such individuals. You never know for sure until you have spoken t-- . them two or three times on the street, in the local cafe, or some other public place. Perhaps your greet-ing was acknowledged, perhaps it wasn't . . . that's where they get the name. The only way I know to deal with "perhapsers" is to play baseball with them. Allot one strike for each t;me you meet them and speak. If you fail to get a response in three tries, put 'em out of your league. COMING EVENTS Sunday, July 18 Summer Band Students reci-tal.
