"PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW" i 5 o o a q qfZZlSfP-- BLOOD DRAWING TO BE TODAY AT CIVIC CENTER Today (Friday) is the day you roll up your sleeve and give that life .saving gift to someone who will be forever gratetul to you. "Lives depend upon your ef-forts". As citizens we all have a responsibility of giving and pro-- , curing blood to save these lives. If you haven't already signed a pledge card to give one pint of blood, please, volunteer at once, and come to the Civic Cen-ter today (January 1(1) between the hours ol 3:00 and 7:1)0 p.m. This is your opportunity to ex-perience the wonderful feeling of having contributed freely to the well being of a fellow man-per- haps saving his life. Any person aged 21 through 59 who's m good health and weighs 11(1 pounds or more is eligible to donate blood. Those 18 through 20 years of age may also give blood, provided they have par-ental consent, however persons in the armed forces who are be-tween Hi and 21, and married women do not need parental con-sent. Three months must elapse between contributions and don-ors are asked not u eat at least four hours before contributing. The quota for this area which is 150 pints has not been reach-ed. Thus far only !)(i donors have been recruited. Therefore, your help and cooperation is needed to make this blood program a success. The blood obtained from this drawing is used for four purpos-es: 1. To provide blood for Am-ericans fiehtine in Koren. 2. To provide blood plasma for depart -- ment of defense. 3. To make whole blood available to patients in local civilian and military hospitals, free of charge except for cost of administration. 4. To provide a stockpile of plasma for civil defense. The local chairmen do appdec-iat- e all the efforts involved in this program and wish to thank all those who have done their duty by signing pledge cards and also those who have worked dil-- 1 igently recruiting blood donors for this worthy cause, O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett So the winter sports enthusi-asts were crying about no snow. That my friends has been taken care of. Watched Rex Layne work out last week. He is working hard on a left hand and I have to re-port it is showing results. Rex has shortened his left hook and it is carrying plenty of power. He has always had a good right. He will have big Bob Hall with him next week. Hall fights Willie Bean in Hollywood for the coast championship. At present Rex is concentrating on his left and try-ing to develop a little more speed. Jack Nelson, his stable mate, looks good. Jack fights the semi windup on the LaStarza-Layn- e card. This boy Woodworth from Provo looks like a real comer. He has won six straight and some of them real toughies. His latest victim was Willie Parker, a real tough campaigner, but Chuck took care of him in a workman like way, winning on a TKO in eight rounds. Woodworth is a well built lad about 1180 pounds. He likes to fieht and is alwavs in top condition. Gar.th Panter, another Salt Lake boy, won again last week. Garth always puts up a good fight, but for some unknown rea-son has just never captured the favor of the fans. Panter has done real well on the coast and they like him out there, but so far in in his home town it has been no go. Tonight, Friday, all eyes in Bingham will be focused on the gym at Magna where the Miners and Cyprus tangle in a basket-ball game, that has been picked as the game of the week in B ball. They both won last week rather handily, Bingham taking Grantsville and Cyprus over Judge. Grantsville had plenty of shots but were just missing. Son-ny Robertson of Bingham was high point man with 22 counters and the rest of the team played a good floor game. But there is one thing they will have to do if they are to top Cyprus and that is stop Gary Jenkins, the Magna sharpshooter. Gary had 24 points against judge. Cyprus was picked about fourth in B ball for Utah while Bingham was eighth in the pre-seas- voting. But when these two teams meet, dope goes out the window. The home floor gives Cyorus the edge in this one, but if Bingham can get. their share of the rebounds they will be hard to stop. One thing is for sure, every seat will be filled. It looks like the same five for the Miners Robertson, LaComb, Peterson, Rekoutis and Apostal with Niksich seeing plenty of action. There is a few colds on the squad but as of to-day the boys are ready. From Cyprus comes word that their team is in shape, and ready, so it should be the ball game of the year. See you next week. AL. O BJ).A.A FLASHES i by Jim Abplanalp j . j MINERS AT CYPRUS TONIGHT; Bingham's prep basketball; crew will journey to Magna to-- , night to tangle with the strong Cyprus Pirates, in what may be a decisive battle for Region Two honors. The Pirates showed a lot of power in n play, and are picked by most experts to cop this division crown. Last week the Cyprus five trounced Judge Memorial, while the locals' ran rough shod over the Grants-- ' ville Cowboys. Coach Allsop has been bringing the Miner squad along in good shape, and the boys! tihould put up quite a struggle 'against the lavontes tonight.! Playing on their own floor, the Pirates have slight odds in this; one. but there has been manv an upset in this rough and tough Jordan division. Sonny Robert-son found his shooting eye Grantsville. and will be closely watched in tonight's fray. LaComb turned in a masterful game and directed a good deal of the scoring punch. Peterson, Kekoutis, Apostal and several other boys turned in good, per-formances. TOOELE HERE ON 23rd Bingham will play its first home game here on Friday, an-ua- 23, against the Tooele Buf-faloes.

No matter what trials and troubles come, they alone of all the parish can look forward to real peace and contentment in their family life. They exert a tremendous in-fluence lor good among all of the people of the community. Please do not fail to see "The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima". Every catholic and non-cathol- ic should see this picture. It is bet-ter than many sermons. If God loves us so much that He sends His Mother to warn the world, to pray, to do pennance and keep the ten commandments then we should begin to look into our liv-es and see if we are keeping close to Christ and Mary. Sunday, January 18th begins the Church unity octave. It lasts until January 25th. These days of prayer were begun by Fr. Paul of the Anglican church. He returned to the Roman Catholic church and prayed that all might return to union with Rome. We pray .that all orthodox christians and all pr.otestants will return to the one fold and the one shep-herd as Jesus Christ wanted. Our prayers are heard by God. Recently in Akron, Ohio, a pas-tor and his parish of 100 orthodox families entraced Catholicism.. If christians do not return to their Holy Mother, the church God may permit the terrible scourge of communism to bring them to their knees.
