Show Bv H. C. B. Overshadowing all the news of the week was the Hendricksen kidnap story and the bank robbery in Salt Lake, both committed by the same criminal. The story is as bizarre as it is disgusting, and one result is sure: the Salt Lake police department surely was lax in this case. If those cops were as diligent in catching criminals as for they are tagging motorists traffic violations, Salt Lake City would soon be without crime. Of greater importance this week than the above story was the announcement that Gen. Eisenhower is a presidential candidate. Without doubt, Ike is a very popular man, and has earned that popularity by his accomplishments and personality. We believe that Sen. Taft Gov. Warren, and Harold Stassen should all withdraw from the race and let the general be unanimously nominated by the Republican party. With Eisenhower heading the ticket, the GOP can win next fall, but with anyof.the other candidates, the result would be extremely doubtful. Taft is an able and experienced public servant, but he does not have the personality that appeals to the independent voters who will elect the next president. Warren, being a westerner, would have small chance of winning, while Stassen is not well enough known to command a large vote. Volume XIX Kiwanis Sets Tree Fire For Saturday Hundreds of Christmas trees which adorned the homes of Mid-val- e during the 'recent holidays, will go up in smoke Saturday at 6:15 p m at the city parking lot downtown, at a community bonfire, sponsored by the Midvale Ki wanis club. According to Marx Blackett, chairman of the committee, the project is to eliminate all the discarded trees in one big halocaust. the city garbage truck is unable to handle the trees, and the result has been that they would clutter up the backyards and gutters for weeks, until hauled privately to the city dumps. Local school children have been taking their old trees to the Mid-val- e school, where they will be picked up by Kiwanis members. All children of the community are invited to attend the bonfire, and there will be a special treat for them, the committee declares. Working with Mr Blackett are Leon Rasmussen, Lyle D Webster, Everyone is waiting for the Ted Simpson, and A M Ross. "January thaw", all being agreed that we have had enough snow Ski and wind to last us for this season. Warden Marcell Graham made an excellent start in his new position at the state prison. According to his own statement, the prison authorities will adopt a "tough" policy in dealing with those convicts who cause trouble. This is the only language that those boys understand, and we hope that the policy is maintained, so that trouble and confusion at the prison will cease. Three new councilmen were inducted into office Monday night: Arthur A Larson, Elton L Jenafter kins, and Earl 'Smickle, which Mayor Beckstead and the five council members conducted a business session that lasted several hours.

HELP FREE CAR The motorist who carries a few asphalt shingles in the trunk of his car won't have much trouble working the car free when it gets stuck in snow or ice. An asphalt shingle slipped under an automobile tire will keep the wheel from spinning. The top side of the shingle should be up when it is placed under the tire. The mineral granules on the top supply a rough surface for the tire tread to grip. The granules are little bits of in stone, which are embedded asphalt roof shingles for several reasons. They add to the wearing qualities of the material. Because stone doesn't burn, they Increase the natural They provide the means by which the roofing is colored.
