MIDVALE-BINGHA-HIGHWAY BEARS TOP DEATH RATE Utah State Highway 48 from Midvale to Bingham is reported to have had the highest fatality rate of any highway in the state during the year 1956. According to the State Safety Council, there were 40.8 fatal ac-cidents per 10O million vehicle miles on the highway. Second highest was U-1- 8 from St. George to Enterprise with a rate of 36.4 per 100 million. The state aver-age for all highways was 6.8 per million which compared with the national average of 6.5. Listed as third worst in the state was Redwood Road with a rate of 19.5 per 100 million. Road experts have not deter-mined why the Midvale-Bingha- m stretch should have such a high rate but it was noted by A. La-Ro- y Taylor, consultant to the council, that speeding was often involved.

TRAIN-CA- R CRASH KILLSPROYOJVIAN The jarring crash of a passen-ger car into a loaded, moving coal gondola Sunday morning at 1:05 a.m. claimed the life of a Utah county man, Eliverto Arch-uleta, 45, of 616 S. 4th West, Provo. Three other persons, two critically, were injured in the collision. The mishap occurred on the Bingham highway a mile and a half west of 3200 West The auto hit the fifth car of a Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad train. Driver of the car, Tony Lopez, 31, Provo, suffered wrist and leg fractures, head and internal in-juries. He was in critical con-dition at Holy Cross hospital. His wife, Patsy Lopez, also in critical condition in the same hospital, suffered a compound fracture of the right leg, fracture of the left leg and severe scalp laceration. Mrs. Lorencita Archuleta, 38, wife of the fatally injured man was released from St. Mark's hospital Sunday morning after treatment for multiple lace-Vi-tion- s and abrasions. Salt Lake County Deputy Sher-iff Pete Kutulas, who investigat-ed the accident, said the east-boun- d car, a 1957 model, passed another car on the highway, then crashed into the coal car. The auto's front end folded like an accordion, the deputy said, and bounced backwards from the im-pact. Conductor of the train was G. C. McCall, 783 Browning Ave. Ten minutes after the fatal mishap, an auto stopped on the opposite side of the train was struck from behind by another vehicle. No one was injured. Mr. Archuleta was born March 16, 1910, in El Rito, N. Mex., a son of Pedro and Crecencia Baca Archuleta. He moved to Colton, Carbon County, in 1950 and mar-ried Lorencita L. Archuleta in November of 1943. He worked for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad until 1952, when he moved to Provo and was employed by the Union Pa- - """" cific Railroad. He was a member of the St. Francis Catholic par-ish of Provo. Surviving him are his widow and a son, Provo; his father, a brother, and four sis-ters. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Another 4th of July is here, and with it the memories of the 4th of Julys, gone toy. This used to be one of the greatest days of the year for sports. Every town had its celebration and with it horse races, foot races, boxing matches and of course the tug of war between the hometown and its bitterest rival. The windup would be the fireworks. Now it is done but of course on a more refined basis, so they say. But for me I'll take the old way. Some great sporting events took place on the Fourth in years gone iby, especially in the fight game. Gans vs Nelson in their memorial fight, Johnson vs Jef-fries in Reno, Nev., and of course our own Jack Dempsey beat the Kansas giant Jess Willard. Yes there was some great ones. Now the big promoters say it would be a flop to stage a big fight on the 4th of July. Why? Well, just too many other things going on and too many automobiles. Peo-ple in the big cities take this opportunity to take the family to the country. Those that can't do that flock to the parks and pic-nic grounds. So there are no big championship fights on the 4th. But to the kids the 4th is still the great day. A day of fireworks and merry-go-round- s, and that is as it should be. See you next week. Al LEGION BASEBALL Bingham lost one and won one during the week, losing to Holla-da- y 11 to 1 Friday and defeating Henry S. Day Co. 4 to 2 in a well played game iMonday night. (Mon-day's game was a thriller down to the last out. The visitors had men on second and third with one away when 2nd baseman Jenkins, on a spectacular catch, turned what looked like a sure hit into a double play ending the game. In the other game played (Mon-day, West Jordan, coached by Mickey Culleton, lost their first game of the season 4 to 3 to the Fred A., Carlson team. Schedule for the next week has BingMam playing Magna at Bing-ham at 6:00 n.m. with Beckstead Oil Co. vs Holladay at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, July 5 (tonight). Oni Tuesday, July 9, Bingham meetsi the league leading Carpets Inc. team at Derks Field at 8:00 p.m. JORDAN DISTRICT OKEHSBUDGET Sandy Jordan District Board of Education Thursday night, June 27, approved a $3,431,250 budget for operation and main-tenance of schools during 1957-5- 8 after a public hearing. No opposition was voiced. The board authorized the build-in- g committee to open bids on July 10 at 5 p.m. for construction of a temporary sewer line from Mountview Elementary School to connect to the Salt Lake City Suburban Sanitary Sewer DV-tri- ct No. 1 collection lines. The latter action was taken after Dr. J. O. Jones, board presi- - ' ' dent, announced it was unlikely the Cottonwood Sewer District lines will reach the new school by the time it opens in Septem- - ber. Estimated cost of the sewer line, tanks and pumps is esti-mated at about $16,000. The board expressed the opinion that unless the line is constructed it would be impossible to open the school. The approved budget is an in-crease of $482,725 over this year's budget. Most of the increase is for teachers' salaries plus a need-ed 20 additional teachers and two additional special education classes. In other action the board nam-ed Bruce J. iMcDermott architect for the new elementary school at 9800 South and 10th East. It also reaffirmed an earlier decision to provide bus transportation for senior students in West Jordan, South Jordan, Riverton, Bluff-dal- e and Herriman to Jordan High School. ft also was reported to the board that it may be possible to open bids for the first phase of the remodeling of Jordan High School at the next meeting on July 18.
