Show E!ijih A. Chipmia Looks Forward To Leisure Pursuits Elijah A. Chipman, who served Alpine School District as clerk-treasurer, clerk-treasurer, has retired. Looking forward to more traveling, golfing golf-ing and other leisure persuits Mr. Chipman is finding the switch from office duties pleasurable. He and Mrs. Chipman have taken up playing golf aid thoroughly enjoy the early morning hours putting on the greens. The Chip-mans Chip-mans have traveled quite extensively exten-sively throughout the country and now may scan travel folders of places they haven't been. Mr. Chipman has lived in American Am-erican Fork his entire life with the exception of the first year. He was born Sept. 8, 1904 at Magrath, Alberta, Canada, a son of Abner and Elizabeth Bourne Chipman, He was their third child and oldest son of their eight children. The Chipman family resided in Canada for five years during which time Mr. Chipman' s father was engaged in the cattle business. In 1905 the family returned re-turned to American Fork to enter the sheep business. He attended the Harrington and Forbes elementary schools and graduated from high school in May of 1923. That year he went to work for the Utah Poultry Producers Pro-ducers Association. From 1926 to 1931 he was employed by Chip-man Chip-man Merchantile Co. The next eight years he was in business in partnership with Glen C. Robinson Rob-inson operating the Chipman-Robinson Chipman-Robinson Feed Store. For a few years Mr. Chipman was employed by American Fork City and iu 1942 began his work as secretary-treasurer secretary-treasurer of the school district. He recalls that when he was 10 years old his father took him to t h e summer sheep range at Strawberry VaUey andhe learned to ride horses. There comes to his mind the walking the eight blocks morning, noon and after school to and from high school during his junior and senior years plus chore duties of feeding sheep and milking cows. Mr. Chipman always has been fond of sports. When he was in his sophomore year Coach Earl (Hap) Holmstead interested some of the youths in basketball, base- fa all and track training. High school didn't have the football program then. In 1922 he was on the squad that played 20 games through pre-season and league play, undefeated, including Lehi, the team the locals defeated twice in league play. Then came the night the Cavemen, as division first place team, met Lehi, in viJ Elijah Chipman the state tournament for the championship in the old Deseret Gym the last night of the tournament. tourn-ament. Lehi won! The main team that night was Grant IngersoU, Newell Hofheins, Clyde Birk, Alton StorrsandEli-jah StorrsandEli-jah Chipman, with subs, Alex Karren, Elmo Crookston, Adair Bromley. In recalling the experience Mr. Chipman says he thinks one reason rea-son A.F. lost was because he had a special girl friend in Lehi (whom he later married) and he found she had prayed hard for Lehi to win. Mr. Chipman says he believes this was the beginning of a string of "always a bridesmaid but never a bride" record for the Cavemen until a state championship champion-ship was won. These were the days before division into Class A and Class B. He well remembers the team changing into basketbaU suits in the basement of old Science Hall. The dance hall was used because the high school didn't have a large enough gym then. The team didn't have sweat shirts either, he remembers. It was during his senior year, 1923, that a gymnasium was built on the school grounds where the present Alpine District administration adminis-tration offices now stand, and where he would be employed on the district level, beginning in 1942. He enjoyed playing baseball. American Fork's team was recognized rec-ognized as strong contenders in the leagues. Those were the days of Wednesday half holidays, and always a baseball game on holidays hol-idays besides the regular games. American Fork gave enthusiastic support to the team. It was not uncommon for grandstand and bleachers to be filled.

Our first concert was at Nancy, France, where the students stu-dents of the town acted as tour guides for us. The Mayor andthe City Council met with us at a reception in our honor. Our next concert was inMulhouse, France, where we met the Mayor and had another reception. On July 5th we went to Switzerland Swit-zerland and the band director hired a car so the four Mormons in the band could drive down to Bern to see the LDS Temple. It is smaU, but very beautiful. In the afternoon we went to Mount Pilatus and took a Gondola Gon-dola up 6,000 feet to the top, and came down by Cogwheel Train to Alpnachstadt where we took (Rags) IngersoU, Joe Binch, Reed Robinson, Harvel (Bun) Bennett, Ross (Rosie) Dodge, Ott Birk, Ted Thrasher and the Chipman boys, Elden and Clark.

Our bus picked pick-ed us up and took up to the Lion Monument, which is carved out of a smaU cliff. At night we played at the Can-tanol Can-tanol Music Festival of Switzerland Switzer-land at Willisau. It was a contest con-test between the bands of the different dif-ferent provinces, which are call-ed call-ed Cantons. We didn't compete, but were part of the entertainment. entertain-ment. We played on a stage at the end of the eating area where about . a thousand people were seated at long tables. We felt a unit of spirit when we played and the people just went wild. They cheered s.d stomped their feet when they wanted an encore. The European audiences are so exciting and they love to hear us play. Switzerland is absolutely magnificent. mag-nificent. The mountains are tall and beautiful and green and grassy. Chalets are built all up and down the mountains- from the very top to the bottom. On July 6th we gave a concert near Milan, Italy. The band was on a floating pier and the audience aud-ience on bleachers on land. They took us to see the Cathedral of Milan, and I was the only girl on our bus who was aUowed to go inside. They didn't allow anyone any-one to go in with pants, pant-dresses, pant-dresses, mini-skirts or sleeveless sleeve-less dresses. Italy seems to be quite industrialized, indus-trialized, with many freeways. It reminds me of Southern California. Cal-ifornia. But their mountains and vineyards are very pretty. From Milan we went to Venice where we saw the Doge's Palace Pal-ace and St. Ma::ks Square. We rode in a motor boat through the canals of Venice and then we saw them make beautiful Venetian Ven-etian Glass. After crossing the border into Austria we had "wienor schnitzel" sch-nitzel" for our dinner (its breaded bread-ed veal-not hotdogs). At Innsbruck we saw the Ty-rolian Ty-rolian Dancers in their Native Folk Dances. They danced some tricky steps with hand slapping and also a dance while chopping wood. I really enjoyed their performance. WHY SYEITER? We will install in your car a Foctoiy Air Conditioner, Con-ditioner, so you con enjoy your summer driving.
