BMA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp MINERS DOWN JUDGE-ME-ET DUGWAY TONIGHT The local prep hoopsters all but clinched a position in the '5(1 "B" tournament last week as they routed Judge Memorial at Salt Lake for their 6th win one loss. The Miners now jhave only the game tonight a-- I gainst the small Dugway quint, and this one should be only a workout for the hustling crew of Coach Wankicr. If the locals win tonight, thoy will capture undisputed honors in the Jordan division, and a tourney spot. Morgan, with two losses, will play the runner-u- p of the Sum-mit .division for a place in the tourney, and if they lose, will play against the loser of the division runner - up game for the 16th in position in the B classic. The popular B tournament will be played again at the BYU field house on March 14th to 17th. in-clusive. Region Two will be strongly represented by their two divis-ions, North Summit lrom the Summit division and Bingham from Jordan division, are rated by the sports scribes as numbers 1 and 2 respectively. This year's Miner squad has developed into a fine ball club, with perhaps as good balance as we have seen for many seasons. Despite their lack of heighth and an individual star, the locals make up for this in hustle and good team play. They will again go into the tourney with the old "jinx" of never winning the title, but we hope this will be the "year." Baseball Season Soon Baseball will soon be the main sports attraction, and we can hope to enjoy this fine sport both from the high school play, the American Legion teams, and wa hope from another season of the Northwest baseball loop. The preps will be out limber-ing up for early spring play, and the Miners should again field a strong contender. Bingham high copped the class B diamond championship last year and will be hoping to retain this oft won title. The BDAA squad, winners of the Northwest league in 1954, lost out in the play-of- f to Magna last season, but are hoping to field another pennant winner this year. The Northwest loop was to meet this week to discuss this year's program. Will have some word of it next Issue. o 'BOY, YOU'LL HAVE TO SH0VE!f k s4Lt 1 ill .1 00" i UyjjJI'i "' " 1 - fcHpiu f (( WHE MOMH III tl. tkC C) would By FRANKLIN J. MEINE Editor, The American People Encyclopedia. SMALL boys and soap ait not compatible. While you're convincing Junior that his tars need washing, you might give him a short lecture on the history of soap, just to distract hit atten-tion and to protect yourself. From the earliest time, water and clay the forerunners of soaps and detergent have been used for cleansing. Soap has been pre-pared and used In homes for hun-dreds of years. A well equipped soap factory discovered in the ruins of Pompeii indicates the large-scal- use of soap some 2,000 years ago. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Basketball has reached the tournament stage. Bingham High School won the Jordan division as expected and will be a repre-sentative in the Class B tourna-ment at Provo. This is one year that I think their chances are good. The people of Bingham Canyon have waited a long time for a state champion and I think ' this could be the year. University of Utah has won the Skyline Conference champ-ionship and will represent the. k mountain states in the N.C.A.A. playoffs at Corvallis, Ore. Let's face it, they have to meet ! San Francisco in this one, and I don't think they have either the height or the ability to take this one. University of San Francisco has one of the real great college teams with two on it, in Russell and Jones. Rus- - sell has been picked as the play-er of the year. I understand Jones will be ineligible to play in the playoffs. If that is the case Utah has a chance. I don't think that will be enough to stop S.FAJ., but one man. especially Jones, can make a big difference. All we can do now is hope and pray. Of course they have to win one (of their games this week end. On the local scene there isn't much news outside of the high school basketball. Everything takes a back seat until after, the tournament. On the fight scene, Gene Full-mer has signed for a fight in New York. Layne has gone into semi-retireme- At least he has-n't anything on the fire at the present time. Another Utah middleweight, Garth Panter is in Africa. Garth is under new management. His former manager Pete Guacombe and Chick Oliver turned him loose. Garth should quit but he is trying to pick up a fast buck. Hope he makes it. See you later. BINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL NEWS by Tonl Stewart MINERS TO ENTERTAIN DUGWAY TONIGHT Tonight's the night of the last scheduled league game, and also the last home game of the cur-rent season for the BHS Miners.

YEAR BEGINS WITH GOOD BOND SALES In line with increased interest nationally, Salt Lake county re-sidents invested $664,665 in ser-ies E and H savings bonds dur-ing January, according to W. R. Anderson, county savings bonds vice-chairm- for Bingham dis-trict. With a sales excess over re-demptions of $122 million for the first month of the year, citizens of our country saved $572,490,000 in E and H bonds. This repre-sents more than 10 per cent of the national quota for 1956, re-ported Frederick P. Champ, state chairman. "Total sales for Utah in Janu-ary were $1,330,381. This figure does not include a sizeable allo-cation usually received in time for this release, representing Utah's share of purchases by military and civilian government employees", Mr. Champ pointed out. This sales excess is indicative of the pattern for the past three years, during which time more savings bonds were purchased than redeemed each year. Last year was the high spot with more than $700 million sales excess. "We are especially pleased with series E purchases, since we feel the E savings bond is the backbone of individual sav-ings. And this is heartening proof that more Americans are turn-ing to this type of savings for a more secure future," the chair-man said. O FIRST SECURITY BANK INCREASES INTEREST RATE The Bingham branch of First Security Bank of Utah, N. A., will increase its interest rate on savings from 2 to 2 Mi per cent as of March 1, it was announced this week by 'Dean T. Malan, manager First Security Bank at Bingham Canyon. First Security interest is com-pounded semi-annuall- y, and de-posits are insured by the Fed-eral Deposit Insurance Corpora-tion. Interest is paid July 1 and January 1. A pipe smoker may be Interested to know that Meerschaum also is called Sepiolite, a white or yel-lowing earth material. It Is ob-tained principally from Eskisehir in Asia Minor, but It occurs also in Samoa, Moravia, Spain, Mo-rocco, and in the United States in New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Utah, and California. It is very soft and highly porous. When dry it floats on water. It is used chiefly in the manufacture of the famous tobac-co pipes. O By LYN CONNELL.

TEN PIN TAPS by Al Ablett In the big handicap bowling tournament being held at the Club, Mickey Callisto was the big gun in the second round. Mick shot 854 from scratch for his four games, starting with a '184 followed by 258, 209, 203. This coupled with his 40 pin handicap gave him a 894 and a big lead going into the final round this coming Monday night. Russ Boren is in second place. Last week's leader, Ned Chest-nut ran into trouble in the way of splits but Ned is still within hailing distance. The two lady leaders Nan Kallen and Marion Johnson, are in good position. Marion had a good 775 in the second round and Nan had another good 700 series. If either one of these two shoots a big final round they could take it all. So come Mon-day night the fur should be fly-ing. The Wednesday night League is uncovering some boys that will be heard from in the future and the teenage boys are coming fast. Eddie Jacobson had a 194 game last week. Another boy to watch in this group is Billy Johnson. Billy's father, Eskel "Herk" John son was a bowler at the club for years. Russ Boren had another big series in the State Majors, a 687 last Tuesday. A number of the boys are try-ing new balls. Pete Borich and Gene Johnson are two and they are coming fast. Don't have the top ten this week. John Bolic, our statistic-ian, is on the sick list. Will give you the winners next week. O HEALTH .
