Show THE MIDVALE RE:E:-ffiRRHS * By The Editor • Some folks do not have to go hunting to get a pheasant, and Dave Searle is one of them. Last 1\:'Ionday a huge male pheasant, bewildered by huntsmen, flew through the .front window of the Searle residence on Allen· street, • smashing the large glass and nru·rowly missing Mrs Searle's head. The Searles enjoyed a pheasant dinner Wednesday night. Being a G 0 P legislative district chairman, Mrs Searle had large pic~ tures of Dewey and Bricker in the window, but that didn't stop the bird from going through the pane. Evidently he was a Democrat. Still stranger is the fact that an identical incident occurred this week on 39lh South street1 when another R epublican chairwoman had her Dewey-adomed front window smash ed by another Democratic pheasant. • B o t h constitutional amendments were passed by Utah vot ers Tuesday by substantial majorities. Both were supported by the press of the entire state. No. 2, which increases the pay of state legislators, had been repeatly defeated every time it was placed on the ballot, but was passed this time with little opposition. Both amendments are beneficial, and will aid the cause of good government in this state. • A G I writes: "If this war is about over, I wish to H : - - that somebod y would tell t he Germans." • Now that Gov Maw is appar• . ently re-elected, and h1s supporters made such an issue out of the alleged uviceu of the city of Price, we hope that he will do something about it-and we suggest that he start righ t by cleaning u p Salt Lake City and Ogden first, and then proceed to "purify.. the rest of the state. • Ye Ed has sorta streamlined the m ake-up of The Sentinel, so that a little more news can be crowded into each page. Hope you like it. • Evidence that Midvale city is going to really enforce the dog ordinance is shown by the notice below, published as a legal notice. - NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS According to an ordinance passed early this year, dogs must be kept tied up at home or taken out only on a leash. Until recently we have had almost complete cooperation .from the citizens of the community in observing this ordinance. At present, the great majority of dog owners are complying with it, but some owners have recently been allowing their dogs to run at large. To allow such a condition to continue would be u n fair to the persons who are trying to live up to and enforce t he ordinan ce. S o far no action has been taken except that repeated warnings have been pulj:Jlished. However, if dogs are still allowed to run ai large, it is the intent ion of the city officers to take all necessary action to enforce the ordinance. This may involve the destruction of the dog, the com mencem ent of a criminal action against the owner, o1· both. It is our earnest desire to work with you, and we hereby solicit your cooperation in our effort to keep dogs from running at large. Yours very truly, B EN G.

Jordan Downs Powerful East to Gain Grid Title By Bob Muir The Beetdiggers of Jordan high gained sole possession of the uBig Six" leadership Friday as they rolled to a hard-earned 7 to 0 victory over a smaller East high aggregation before a cheering throng of so-tne 4000 fans. Since the beginning of league play the "Big Six" title race has been tighter than an old maid's purse, but after Friday's battle the Beetdiggers took over the driver's seat and cirtually clinched the "Big Six" crown. Jordan High Play Set for Nov. 17 With Dorothy Allen, Clark Jones, Roylance Spratling, Mary Dooley, John McRae and Leslie Cozzens heading the cast J ordan high school's annual play. "And Carne the Spring," by Marijane and Joseph Hayes, will be ready for presentation on Friday, Nov 1'Z, at 8:15pm in the auditorium. The play is being directed by Miss Lucille Tuttle, dramatic coach at Jordan high school. MORALE IS IDGH AT SOUTH JORDAN SCHOOL T he patriotic spirit r uns high at South Jordan school, according to Principal George Barton. Students are selling twice the amount of war bonds and stamps than they did last year, and achieved an outstanding success in the recent milkweed pod campaign. A drive for wastepaper, old rags and tin cans is now being staged by the South Jordan students, he said. Entertainment is not overlooked, however, at the school. A successful Halloween party was held last week, when prizes for the 6 best costumes were awarded, and refreshments, program and dancing were enjoyed. In connection with South Jordan Primary and the P-T A, the school w-nl present a Thanksgiving entertainment Nov 22, when moving pictures, games and refreshments will be the attractions, Mr Barton said. Midvale Principal Gets U. E. A. Post Principal E E Greenwood of the Midvale schools was elected a member of the central committee of the Utah Education association at their convention in Salt Lake City last week-end. He is a pastpresident of the association, and has held other important posts in the educators' grou p. The lowly West high Panthers are the only team left to contest the Beetdiggers' superiority. The defeat for East all but elimintad the Eciders from the title chase and placed them in third position, a hall game behind South and a full game behind the Jordanites. The touchdown which gave the Beetdiggers their victorious margin came in the early part of the third period, when Frank Holt, Jordan's classy little tailback, staged a one-man show to drive the Beetdiggers to their win. Holt starred throughout the game and started the Beetdiggers on their downfield march when he drove on 3 line plunges to the Leopards' 32-yard line after taking the opening second-half kickoff on his own 40-yard line. Dwayne Player Ulen took the ball on a reverse to the Eciders' 25yard line, where Holt picked up 11 yards on an end run. to be stopped on East's 14-yard marker. On 2 off-tackle drives, Holt carried the ball to the 7 -yard line, where he scored on a line plunge through the Leopards' forward wall. The try for the conversion was good. The Leopards, who had been shackled in their own territory for the greater part of the third q u ar· ter, came to life with a "bang" in the waning moments of the final stanza, but their futile drive for a score fell 3 yards short as the Beetd igger line stiffened and the J ordanites gained possession of the ball 20 seconds before the game ended. The partisans who turned out to see the crucial game and cheer for their favorite team were well rewarded in the way of thrills and excitement. Both teams played heads-up ball and neither squad let the opposing team gain ground without bitterly contesting it. The game Fl'iday was a batUe between the speedy backs of East and the hard-charging line of Jordan. The Beetdiggers registered 12 first downs to 11 for the Eciders, and also had things to their liking on the ground, as they gained 132 yards to 92 for the Leopards. East led in the passing department as they completed 6 out of 11 tries for a total yardage of 34, while the Beetdiggers threw only 4 passes, none of which was completed. The statistics show that the Beetdiggers were superior on the running attack, while the Eciders dominated the air waves, and the game was played just as that. Jordan had a hard-charging and superior blocking outfit, which proved to be the main reason why the Beetdiggers came out on top in the important fracas.-Telegram A 95-year-old Sandy woman succumbed in a Salt Lake hospital at 1 a m .M onday from injuries suffered when the ambulance in which she was riding was demolished as it crashed into an automobile near Vine and State streets Sunday at 1:15 p m.
