JORDAN PUPILS REGISTER AT BHS Some 23 parents opposing the shift of Jordan High students to Bingham Friday apparently kept, their children home on registra-tion day. The parents, mostly residents of South Jordan, signed a ques-tionnaire earlier this month stat-ing they would not permit their children to attend Bingham High next year. Though absentees were report-ed "no more than usual" at Riv-ert- on Junior High, M. K. Bunnell, principal of West Jordan Junior High said only 49 of the 76 ninth graders enrolled were present Friday. "Apparently all of the oppo-sition to this transfer is coming from South Jordan because of the 27 who are absent, 23 are from that area," Mr. Bunnell said. Ninth grade enrollments at Riverton Junior come from the Riverton, Bluffdale and Herri-ma- n areas. Ninth graders attend-ing West Jordan are from the West Jordan and South Jordan areas, Mr. Bunnell said. Last Thursday approximately 100 Jordan High students, most of whom will be juniors next year, registered at Bingham High Jordan School District officers reported 116 students of that grade are affected toy the trans-fer. Some 104 students, next years seniors, have their choice of which school they want to attend. . Among students who did reg-ister from the junior high levels Friday, most seemed sincerely interested in the prospect of at-tending Bingham High next year, officials said. . . "The vast majority want to go along with classmates and most , have been cooperative. However, to avoid conflict between school and parents, we have informed the few whose parents don't want them to attend Bingham High to comply with their parents' wish-es. We aren't here to teach pupils to defy their parents," Mr. Bun-nell emphasized.

Yes Gene FuDmer fought a very disappointing fight, as far as I could see on T.V. Don't know how many will agree with me but I say he was hurt in the early part of the fourth round, then made the mistake of slugg-ing with the sugar man at long range. Gene just doesn't carry that kind of power. The fight showed that you can't go on making the same mistakes against a man that knows the answers. Gene came out in the fifth round as wide open as Las Vegas, must have Himioht hp could take Robinson's 'best shots and still beat him, because as Ray moved back Gene came in with his hands down and after being hit with two right hand leads, still didn't get them up. It looked like he was getting ready to throw one of those round house rights of his, leaving himself wide open for a left hook. Robinson saw the opening, well a blind man could have felt it with his cane, and the left hook is what Gene got but good. No matter how tough you are when a puncher hits you on the button with a full shot some-thing has to give, this time it was Fullmer and the middle-weight championship, To my way of thinking the toiggest mistake ever made by a manager was turned in by Marv Jenson, in this case toy commit-ting a return fight clause in the contract for this fight. It doesn't make any difference if you are fighting a fugitive from the old folks home, you should protect yours and your fighter's interest, because if you do lose you are assured of at least one more good pay day. Here is the case in point. In any middleweight or heavy-weight championship, the TV take is at least a $100,000. If no one comes to see the fight you still get a good pay day. Gene didn't have this so what is the picture now? I say, now Fullmer will have to fight at least three good boys and beat them before he gets another shot at the title. The TV take in this case will toe about $4,500, a far cry from $30,000. The cry is "and I have been as guilty as any one." Jenson has brough hia boys a long ways. Now let us look at it in the clear light of day. The I.B.C. is the power in the fight game, this everyone knows. So how did Jenson get his boys up there toy doing business with the I.B.C. and on their terms. Rex Layne fought them all, ready or not he fought them. Gene fought three real tough boys in Eastern Park-way arena for peanuts. One of these was Gil Turner. The Turner fight was a Garden shot if there lever was one, but Jenson took it in Eastern Parkway. He took the first Robinson fight for eat-ing money, far less I dare say than any other manager would have accepted, tout I say this wasn't a bad move. But to sign a return clause where the chal-lenger got as much as the cham-pion, I say this was foolish. As far as having to do this in order to get his title shot, that I don't buy. The I.B.C. as well as the boxing commissions, not count-ing public sentiment would have made Robinson defend against Gene, These are some of the mis-takes but they pale in compar-ison to this no return clause. But if the fighters like it I should be as happy as a chick. Gene is still young and can still make plenty of money in the fight game, but the road to the top will be tougher than ever. All I can say is, he has my best wishes. AL HOLY ROSARY CHURCH by Rev. John J.

He has traveled throughout the world on assign-ments, which included the cor-onation of Queen Elizabeth for the ABC network, and his ex-tensive adventures both in Eur-ope and the Orient have been thrillingly detailed to large radio audiences. The Eagles started the cam-paign for a national Mothers' Day back in 1904 after one of their leaders, the late Frank E. Hering made the first public plea for such an observance at an Eagle meeting in Indianapolis, Ind. The Grand Aerie placed Motners Day on the Eagle calendar for observance by all local aeries, and later the Eagles were active in the drive in Congress for en-actment of a national Mothers' Day, which was effected in 1914. o BOY SCOUT COUNCIL MEETING SET FOR MONDAY, MAY 6TH Regular monthly meeting of the Bingham District Boy Scout Council will be held Monday night, May 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the Utah Power & Light Com-pany office according to Hosmer Peterson, Council secretary.
