A hazard to children at this time of year is the kite which sails into electric wires, creating a possible electrocution danger to the boy on the other end of the kite string. But it was football, not which caused electrical trouble Monday evening and turned in a fire alarm. Boys kicking a football on Stagg St. booted the ball into a power line near Depot St., and the wires shorted out in a shower of sparks and knocked out power service to some businesses on kite-flyin- N. Main St. There was nothing for the volunteer firemen to do but take the trucks back to the fire hall, but crewmen from Utah. Power & Light Co. had a job restoring service. It is evident that the State has Highway Department no intention of making it easy for motorists to lind the freeway by erecting the necessary signs. Midvale city can perform a public service by putting up some signs informing the public where the freeway is and how to get there. Tnis is, of course, an expense that should be borne by the state, not the city, but it would give Midvale a lot of splendid advertising. People of the Hillcrest Hign school area can be proud of the 101 juniors and seniors who have met the requirements and have been elected to the new chapter of the National Honor Society. It seems incredible that such a number oi students have achieved an average of 3.7 grade poaus i.o.uj meeting all tne other requirements for memoersiup in such a fine organization. education and the contract awarded to Leger Construction Co., Salt Lake City.

Brown-Ty- e and Heating, Murray, was awarded the mechanical contract for $28,988, and the electrical contract went to Alger Electric Co., Salt Lake for $11,430.

The club contributed the bleachers to the city on condition that the city accept them, move them, and use them for public & civic purposes. In the same action the Kiwanis Club cancelled its lease on the bowl property, which had several years to run. The bleachers were used for many years for rodeos and stage entertainments at the Kiwanis Bowl, but have Arresl Youth In Attempt to Cash Stamps Quick thinking on the part of a Sandy post office em- ploye brought about the ar rest of an 18 year old boy attempting to cash books of savings stamps stolen from West Jordan elementary school. In checking the list of stolen stamp books, posted at the post office, Mrs Luen Woodbury found the customer's books listed. She quickly had another clerk call the Sandy marshal while she stalled for time. The stamps amounted to $72.50. Mrs Woodbury was able to keep the youth occupied long enough to have Marshal Ralph Peters come walking in the front door as the youth was leaving. As the marshal was alerted the boy ran, with Peters in pursuit, while Stan Shelby a highway patrolman, drove his car into position to cut off the youth. Peters overtook the youth running through the Sandy cemetery and Shelby came through from the other side to be of assistance. The boy stuc-- to his story of finding the stamps on a canal bank and was turned over to the Salt Lake sheriff's office for further Hillcrest Wins, Bingham Loses In Tournament weather "mproving, February building pace in Midvale quickened, with a filling station and two new homes receiv-i- e permits Continental Oil Co. obtained a permit for construction of a station at 340 Sugar St., adjacent to the freeway access road, at a construction cost of $45,000.

Kiwanis officers noted that the original cost of the bleachers was $13,200, and though most of the board seats need replacement, the basic steel structure is still sound and construction is such that the bleachers can be divided into segments! and reinstalled in sections where needed. The city had asked that the Kiwanis club's lease on the bowl property be terminated because other uses for the property are pending. Hillcrest won its first game of the state Class A tournament and Bingham almost won tneirs uui as ihe goes close only counts in norseshoes. The Huskies met West on Monday in two tournaments in what has to be one of the most unusual games of the season. The Panthers of West tried to control the ball on the Huskies but to successfully make this type of game work a team must be able to score tntmseives which West didn't, at least not until there were only 8 seconds left in the first nail when the first Pantner field goal dropped through the hoop. Hillcrest held West to no points in tne Lrst quarter while they were held to only six counters. At the end of the half the score was 25-- for Hillcrest with West having one field goal and three foul points.

Juveniles Are two-wee- k Subdued After Police Chase Six juveniles were appre of them sent to hended, detention center. and an adult charged with contributing to the delinquency of minors following a chase Friday night by Midvale police and a scuffle with the juveniles. Officers, chasing a car of juveniles, saw them toss out s two of beer, which were later recovered, and two of the juveniles were charged with possession of beer and resisting arrest. The others were referred to their parents. When caught, the juveniles were unruly and were fighting with police, who summoned help by radio, and a county car arrived quickly and sprayed the juveni-nile- s with police mace, a new aerosol product which renders a person hejless with one whiff, but it is otherwise harmless. After questioning the juveniles, police arrested Manuel E. Lavato, 223 E. Second Ave. He pleaded guilty to the charge of contributing and was fined $50 and sentenced to 14 days in the county jail by Judge Warren D. Cole. Chief Louis S.

Donald Poulsen, recreation chairman, said that Midvale needs a good program to keep children occupied during daytime hours, and recommended that the consider seriously council p y the matter of providing a swimming pool for year-- , round use.

Mayor Henry Beckstead added that the Gardon Club's rose garden and the DUP's historic cabin will help make the park a showplace. The council was advised that property owners of land north of Sugar St. have dedicated a street to be built to connect with a Murray street. The present owners have agreed to pipe a ditch which now crossed the property. Mayor Beckstead reported that the cities of Murray and South Salt Lake have shown an interest in using the new garbage dump near Copper-ton- , but that Riverton and South Jordan apparently are not interested. Tuesday, Mar. 26, has been set for a public hearing on annexation of property and on a new zoning desto permit ignation of Rl-sluster-typhousing for an area south of Princeton St. and one block east of Hoover St. that the hearing Charter Presented . . . Hillcrest chapter of National Honor Society was chartered at the school auditorium last Wednesday evening with 101 juniors and seniors installed as members. The charter was presented by Prin. Joel P. Jensen and Kent Morrison, president of the society at Skyline High School, told the purpose of the society in school life. Arrangements for the program were in charge of W. Lee Skanchy, counselor. The scholarship committee includes Glen Soulier, Prin. Jensen, chairman, Robert Krueger, Beatrice Densley, Hulda Crossgrove, and Mr Skanchy. Ronald M. Davis is adviser. Members of Hillcrest Honor Society are listed as fol: s r, y Councilman Nate said the matter deserves serious con- sideration because three posthe area sibilities exist can be annexed to Midvale, it can be annexed to Sandy, or it can remain in the county. He pointed out that only if it is annexed to Midvale can the city have any control over its development. Mayor Beckstead added that the proposed road from Princeton St. to 8G00 South, at the east edge of the new park, would be a distinct advantage because it would take traffic away from Monroe St., which is a school street. Clifford Terry noted that this type of home is well suited to this land because the water table is so high that basement homes are not practical. He agreed that it is the council's duty to protect home owners already in the area by insisting on proper controls. Mayor Beckstead exhibited a picture taken bv the Highway department showing sidewalks in the underpass covered by water and mud. He was also concerned over bottles being smashed against underpass concrete, littering the walks. added Councilman Terry that freeway fences are being cut repeatedly, and that they have been repaired as many as four times in a single day. Councilmen expressed concern over the danger to children on the freeway and the railroad tracks. The council ordered a supply of little cans from Operation Bootstraps, and Atty. Bagley suggested that this group might be interested in policing the garbage dump in return for salvage privileges. The council voted to buy an $80 city ad in a problem being published by the sheriff's office for the Western States Crime Conference in Salt Lake May 19-2- |
