Members of the police department de-partment enjoyed a busy month also. With the coming of cool nights people are more active and have the urge to get-up-and-go. When, they go, they sometimes need attention. Here are a few examples: Day and Night Laundromat Time was when the best sales pitch of the grandstand salesmen sales-men was: "Get your score card. All the players look alike without a 'score card.' But that come on cry is now about as dead as the proverbial dodo. " What one needs in order to tell who-s-who, is a map of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Figi Islands. Few college football players of late check into the institutions of higher learning these days from their home state, at least in the Western States. In a sport page story last Sunday, the writer said in passing, pas-sing, "The underdog Rams outplayed the Redskins thru-out thru-out most of the game, thanks to the fine play of three Pennsylvania Pennsy-lvania transplants half- -back Jesse Willis, field goal kicker Bob Wolfe and quarter-back Jon Henderson." It's a long haul from the eastern seaboard to Fort Collins, Colorado. But that's how far, and farther, that physically equipped young high school graduates will go, just to get an education. Plus board, room and the opportunity to play football. No doubt it took a lot of bush-beating, bush-beating, arm-pulling and folding fold-ing money to get Roy Shivers, of current Utah State fame, to cast his lot with the Aggies. Young men of his athletic finesse, fin-esse, and calibre don't come knocking on the Univerity President's Pres-ident's door, asking "In." Somebody went to fetch him. I recall many years ago, when a young man from Idaho came down to BY High to play basketball. We had the 18-year-old ruling then, which said that high school players, who turned 18 before October 31 could not compete in basketball that iBaitle Creek pletion of new addition, which has been started on north side of present building. expansion and improvement of the existing quarters and facilities fa-cilities of the Bank of Pleas- burgularized, Two men in car at Grovecreek dam; Just hunting hunt-ing around.

The youth from Idaho had all the appearance of a mature ' man, who had been shaving for at least five years. In addition, the rules stated that boys new to the school could play, if their parents had moved into the area. The Idaho youth's mother did move to Provo; but only long enough to get her son comfortably established estab-lished in an apartment. Any way, she moved to the area. However, the Gem State boy 'was a whale of a basketball player and helped BY High to the Utah State Tournament. . Which all goes to show that if young men, who can run faster, kick harder or do unusual unus-ual things with a football, basket or base ball, someone is going to see that they receive a college education, at small expense to themsleves, also. It seems to me mat the games are being taken away from the state college boys and given over to the out state pro-fesionals. pro-fesionals. For what is a "pro-fesional," "pro-fesional," if it isn't an athlete who performs for money or material gain? It also seems that the colleges should cease sweeping their athletic litter under the rug. If the public demands that the college col-lege boys play near-professional football, then why not be above board about it? Go out and hire the best football talent tal-ent you can afford and give the fans a real show. Otherwise, it might not be amiss to give more Utah boys a chance to play on Utah's college col-lege teams. And that could hold true for all the schools in the Western States area. If we can't produce 'em don't play 'em. Let's give the games back to the boys. So long 'til Thursday. ant Grove. According to Kay L. Jacobs, executive vice president, final contracts have been signed with builders amounting to more than $25,000 for the completion of the project before Dec. 31. The new facilities will include two new drive-up windows, an after-hours teller vestibule and other general improvements designed de-signed to expedite customer service. New modern equipment and the employment of additional personnel will improve service, Mr. Jacobs said. Mr. Jacobs also expressed appreciation ap-preciation that the support of the public has contributed to the steady growth of the bank. It is customer support and continued con-tinued growth that have made the current improvements possible pos-sible and necessary, Mr. Jacobs Jac-obs emphasized. 4 ELDER TERRY WALKER Will' leave for mission Farewell Sunday Will Honor Elder Terry Walker LINDON Terry Leon Walker, Walk-er, son of Bishop and Mrs. Leon Walker of London, will represent repre-sent the Lindon Ward in the Argentine Mission.
