Show Ree'-WarL By H. C. B. Beginning next week, The Sentinel will publish a series of essays which were written by students of the Midvale junior high school in a recent contest sponsored by the Kiwanis club on the subject, "Freedom Is Not Free ," the 1951 theme of Kiwanis International. It is really surprising what comes out of the minds of these youngsters when they really get down to work and produce an essay or oration. The future of America is secure as long as we have the type of younger generation coming up that is now emerging into maiuruy. W A Granquist, prominent mink raiser in these parts, says that he just doesn't know what community he belongs to. "Granny" gets his mail from Sandy, his telephone service from Midvale, his electricity from Murray, and his water from Salt Lake City; yet his address is listed as Union. Quite a complicated state of affairs, he avers. Maybe he could incorporate his ranch on the Creek road, and name it "Granville," or the like, and get away from all these difficulties.

Thursday, March 1, has been set aside as the date for the annual Midvale Gym Jamboree at the from school. Judging high junior past years, this particular school activity has been one of the highlights of the school year, both for the parents and students. The program which is being arranged by Austin Walker and the intramural as managers should be equally pleasing and entertaining as any that have been giver, in the past years. Present plans call for two games. The first game will be between an eighth grade team from Bingham junior high school and the Midvale junior high eighth graders. The game will be followed by thirty minutes of tumbling and stunts. The final feature of the eve ning will be another basketball game between the teams from Bingham and Midvale junior high schools. This should be an excel lent game since it appears that Bingham junior high's basketball team will be the champions for the 1951 season in the Jordan dis Smelte Company supt. of the baghouse at the Midvale plant of the United States Smelting Refining and Min ing Co. for 35 years, was retired this week by the company.
