Preparations are going ahead for what is to be the biggest and best "Homecoming" ever staged at the Beetdigger "stomping grounds." At 9 in the morning the Alumnis will return to school to attend their favorite classes until noon. At that time they will lunch together in the school cafeteria. In the afternoon two gigantic assemblies will be staged for the student body of the school. At this time they will witness some of the most outstanding talent to be found among the Alumni who have graduated from the red and gray school. Over Riverton way Bee Howard Brown is all smiles and happiness. For several years it has been the ambition of Bee to see staged at Jordan an Alumni game of some sort. This year her dream will come true when two all star alumni teams battle it out for honors. And what a battle it promises to be. One team is being coached by Frank Nelson, and the other team by Jack Silcox. The teams will tangle at 8 pjn. in the Jordan Gym. To add further color to the event, former cheer leaders will strut their stuff, and will once again bring out from those in attendance, peppy yells, and songs of all sorts. During the half time activity everyone is in for a treat. It's a surprise, but the committee promises it will send all into a frensy of excitment and laughter. Favors of red and gray pom poms will be given to all in attendance which will add much gayiety to the affair. Folowing the game the big annual dance will be staged, and it too, will be outstanding in every respect Curt Anderson and his 14 piece orchestra will furnish the music. Refresments will be served to the hundreds of Jordanites who will gather for the affair of the year. All former students of Jordan young and old alike will find plenty of interest all night Ions; at their favorite school. Officers of the Alumni Association are: president, Glenn E. Sacos; vice pres., Bee Howard Brown; faculty advisor, Orson Smith. Committee members are: Mr. and Mrs. Jack Silcox, Barbara Olscn Newbold, and Frank Nelson. director. Benefit events to be held this year include the traditional Polio Ball on January 29, the annual Fashion Show on February 3, and the Porchlight Parade on February 5. All other official activities of the com mittee will be limited to coin collection boxes and general solicitation in an effort to streamline the drive and eliminate unneces sary expenditures, Mr. Pack declared. He pointed out that there is an acute need in the nation today for more funds to be used in patient care and in handling continuing requests for aid. "March of Dimes funds are used primarily for patient care and reMr. He said. Pack search," pointed out that four out of five of all reported cases of polio require aid in whole or in part from funds raised during this drive. "Even those who do not need direct assistance from their local chapters benefit, however, because of better-staffeand equipped and more knowledge hospitals about treatment, which have come about in large part because of the March of Dimes," he continued. Mr. Pack declared that funds of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are practically depleted because of a continuing unprecedented onslaught of polio, the only epidemic disease known to man that is still on the increase, and urged generous support to the drive. The 1951 March of Dimes head quarters has been established at 146 .South Main Street, Mr. pack said, and will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from now until the end Z. C. M.

" : .w. r" ..u ' ' , .; ' ' . w, - " ..., : -- ' , yr " to ' v . County Services (By Frank Menscl in Sundays S. L. Tribune) Midvalc firemen are veritable angels of mercy. They go a healthy step further than the usual firemen's role of being guarian angels of their community. The Midvale firemen also sponsor free ambulance service a commendable bit of doing in view of the fact they are a volunteer outfit. The sen ice isn't restricted to Midvale residents either. The firemen stand ready to answer a beckoning any hour, anywhere in Salt Lake county. Mment's Notice Answering a call means, of course, that whoever is available to operate the ambulance must drop whatever he is doing on a moment's notice in this public wrvice, just as in the ca.se of fire. The Midvale ambulance apparently has answered a definite ned urtlch is the only recompense the firemen desire, declared Fire Chief L. C. Canning. They have served more than 2000 calls, an average of one every two days, since the program initialed in November, 1939. The ambulance wrnt into action 2()l times last year. Somn 33 of the department's 42 members have taken tho nerrxsary first aid and driver training to operate the unit. Any two of them can hanillc a call, the chief aid.
