Goodyear Service Team Coming; Preliminary Booked To those who like basketball of the highest calibre, a treat is In store for Saturday night preceding the Presidents Ball. According to the sale of tickets at the Hamilton Drug Store there is sure to be a packed house. The Goodyear team comes to Brigham for the first time. This team i3 the one that went to California and defeated the Olympic champions. They also hold a win over the Utah Aggie conference champions and the famous Colored Ghosts, so it looks like the fast Watkins crew will have their hands full In this game. The Watkins Motor team is composed of stars from different colleges in the state, including a new member who will make his first appearance in Brigham City in this game. He is none other than Eldon Watson who played center for the Utah Aggie Rocky Mountain conference champions last year. With Watson at center, surrounded by such stars as Wayne Millet and Jay Whitman, guards, and Floyd Millet and Conley Watts, forwards, a starting combination that can play with the best teams in the nation is presented. Conley Watts, with his push shots Is perhaps the most entertaining shooter in this part of the country. He also pitches his foul shots the same way and very seldom misses. The Goodyear team is composed of all-stcollege players, Including Sherm Clark, center, of the Utah University, Bill Pendleton of the same school, Royal Jensen and others of first rank. The preliminary game between the Brigham Bachelors and the church champion M Men team for the past two years, will be a colorful affair as well, and many will be interested in watching these two fine teams one-hand- ed ar perform in a preliminary encounter commencing promptly at seven thirty.

The United States Department of Education, under the leadership of J. W. Studebaker, United States Commissioner of Education, is establishing sixteen public forums in the United States. The Immediate object of these forums is to learn something of the practicability of such programs as a permanent form of adult education for a better American citizenship. There is but one such forum in Utah, and this is being sponsored by the Ogden City Board of Education, with Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins as administrator and Lawrence A. Van Dyke as director. Meetings will be held each week lu Ogden, Weber county, Morgan county and Bex Elder county. Two of these public forum meetings will be held in Box Elder county each week on Monday nights (beginning February 1st) at the Bear River high school and on Thursday nights at the Box Elder high school. The objectives of the public forum as developed by the national committee are as follows: 1 Increase the citizens understanding of problems discussed. 2 Stimulate further study and independent investigation. 3 F correlation of new knowledge and past learning and experience. 4 Develop a critical attitude which demands validation of claims. 5 Promote tolerance and acilitate 6 Stimulate sense 7 Develop of public responsibility. logical thinking and improve the speaking ability of the average man. 8 Reduce power of emotion and prer judlee. 9 Train people in methods and analysis and testing of facts. 10 Build the community spirit and foster neighborliness. Dr. Arthur F. Carey will be the first speaker on this forum, and his subject will be Propaganda in the News. Dr. Homer Chaney will be the second speaker, with the subject Swedens Democracy." Both these men are of national repute and are regarded as especially well qualified to treat their assignments. All meetings are free to the public, and while they will be addressed by a nationally or internationally known speaker, there will always be an audience discussion period. n, MAN INJURED IN CRASH ON ELWOOD ROAD H.
