According to Glen Ballinger, member of the department's athletic committee, who was called into the city only to find a three-ma- n committee who had their minds made up to "kick" the Carbon lads out of the tourney, on the assumption that Huntington had previously entered an application to play Legion junior baseball competition in Region 5, and despite the fact that the Legion heads at the Emery county city had sent two letters of withdrawal to the adjutant the local "Kids" were ousted. Apparently the three kids up from Huntington were the ones in question, the remainder of the team being OK with the committee. Ted Maughan of Salt Lake City is chairman of the committee, with H. H. Kilroy of Brigham City, and Stanley Wilson of Payson as members. Despite the fact that Mr Ballinger testified that A. S. Horsley, department adjutant, had advised him by telephone that the letters of withdrawal had been received from Huntington, but he was unable to contact Horsley for copies of the letters, Monday night the committee refuse to concede, and as Mr Ballinger said, "their minds were made up gefore the meeting ever convened." The official protest was filed by Francis "Lundell of Spanish playoff with Fork, who directed the team's play in their the Carbon team. His team goes to the tournament. The Journal editor was going to editorialize on the action of the Legion's baseball committee in a separate article, but my blood was boiling at about the right temperature at this point, so here we go: There has never been a person or newspaper more enthusiastically in favor of a progam than I and the Jounal have been about the American Legion Junior Baseball program on a national scale. For a couple of years 1 managed and coached Helper's teams that saw action in two state tournaments, so I'm not talking entirely "thru my hat." There never was beter advice given a group of youngsters than that preached by the Legion "to play the game hard and clean, regardless of whether we win or lose." "Emphasis," so the Legion leaders say, "should be on building characters and fine physical bodies, rather than on building champions." Some more fine Christian advice, that will, if followed, keep America and her youth ever strong. BUT! .1 say, are the leaders of the various American Legion posts and the department committees setting an' example of what they have been preaching to these "kids?" What about the 15 Carbon and Emery county boys who, because three men had "made up their minds" before the facts could be assembled, decided against them simply because they didn't want tbem in the tournament? At least that is about the only conclusion one can arrive at after hearing the report from Mr Ballinger. This isn't the first time some of these same "big shots" in (Continued on Page four) r" ar an Coal Mine - "Winter Quarters In 1882" Saturday, the red lKter day of the county's Centennial celebration will see the opening of the air Teams at the Carbon county air- W L Pet the ort. huge Centennial parade 5 .833 , INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE Standing Cliff Memmott THEY WON IT.

Keller on the afternoon of July 16 made an order sustaining a general and special demurrer to the complaint filed by Joe Arnold, state highway patrolman, against Mayor J. Bracken Lee seeking $10,000 in damages arising out of an arrest on April 19 when Arnold was charged in the Price city court with reckless driving. In sustaining the general de murrer the court held that the complaint at. which the demurrer was directed did not state a cause of action and in sustaining the special demurrer the court held that the complaint was uncertain in various of its allegations. A motion to strike certain of the allegations of the complaint was sustained in part and denied in other parts. The counsel for the plaintiff was given 15 days in which to serve and file an amend ed complaint if he so desires. streets. The parade is to be divided into sections with a band separating each. Color guards from all American Legion posts in the county will also participate. The first section, historical, will contain 14 floats coming under this heading. The industrial section will be represented by floats from all of the major mining and industrial firms of the county and will number nine.

Participating iu the show (besides the many acts of the Rocky Mountain Air Shows will be planes; from the army air forces, the Utah national guard and civilian groups area including throughout the Ctah and western Colorado. The large army air forces planes' will not be able to land at the airport but will fly over the field during that show as well as over the Centennial parade which will be held Saturday evening. In addition, many other planes will fly over the city during the parade. The new highway io the airport which leaves the main highway just east of Price is now complet ed and can be used to arrive at the airport as can the old high out way which cuts through northeast Price. Sections of the field have been reserved and guides will be avail able to direct cars to the parking areas. The air show program which is under the direction of Major G. M. Madsen consists of a girl para chute jumper as the opening number. Light planes of the Piper cub type will do aerial acrobatics and a demonstration of sailplane towing, gliding, soaring and sailplane stunts will be offered. A dive bombing demonstration will ibe given in a PT19 to ehow how a building is blewn up. A special shack will be constructed and wired to explode as the plane dives over it. A formation of AT6's will dog fight, fly in vees, eschelons and staggered formations and will also demonstrate landings on an air- i craft carrier. A low altitude stunt which sees a plane flying a few feet above the ground is guaran teed to thrill. The show will also include a comedy stunt entitled the "Old Lady Act." Aerobatics in a PT19 at low altitude including every maneuver in the book and a demonstration with a "Kingcobra," P61 at 450 miles per hour buzzing the runway will be another special attraction. "The Three Kings," a spectacular stunt flying formation group will precede the delayed parachute jump by a former marine paratrooper at the close of the show..
