Earlier in the year, the amount of indebtedness was among the members, and this affair on Feb. 28 will be an opportunity for members to contribute their cash and at the same time obtain chances to win one or more of the fine prizes. Working on this committee as chairman is J. J. Neumeier and s, he is ably assisted by Emil Jim Ryan, Henry Murphy, Frank Sacco and Dan Maes. All members of the church are taking active part in the arrangements, and it is hoped that the big dance' and bingo party will be one of the outstanding events of East Carbon for the season. Every one is invited to the affair, and all are asked to join in the celebration. Bingo will be played all evening, and those who wish to dance will have plenty of in- pro-rat- ed Can-ce- - BEEHIVE COKE OVENS Recently acquired Kaiser-Fraze- r' the by Corporation from the WAA. These ovens will produce 750 tons per day when in operation. The coking coal will be furnished to the ovens by the Kaiser mine at Sunnyside and will necessitate the building of 60 or more homes in the Sunnydale area. Additional installations are moving along With great speed so that production of steel can be stepped up in the Kaiser plant. This will aallow an increase in the output of Kaiser-Frazcats to be stepped up from 1000 to 1500 cars per day .according to an estimate by com- pany officials.

Jay leaves a place, not only on the job, but in the life of East Carbon, that will not be filled for many years to come. J : Cerofeth; SUNNYDALE ASK FOR NEW SCHOOL A committee from Sunnydale met with the Carbon county school board at their regular meeting on Feb. 14, and presented arguments for the construction of a school building in that community. They pointed out the expansion of the residential district under the proposed plan of the ,?r.ad La-f,a?- ?5 PU" - ut j?. company, and that this would mean the addition of many new families in the community. Even though it was recognized that a new building would assist, the board notified the committee that no school building program is as yet in prospect, but they would keep the matter for future consideration. The coal hauling contract for the school district was also renewed, with Jase Powell obtaining the job. This contract revealed that coal used at Sunnyside is hauled from Castle Gate.

This announcement was made this week, by Shemf Joe Dudler, who said that the necessary equipment is expected to arrive within that time. The equipment will be installed in the cars of the officers and will allow these to be within touch of the main sheriffs office in Price at all times. Deputies in the East Carbon area are Rip Collins, Dragerton, Frank Ellis, Sunnyside and Wm. Lines, Sr., Columbia. Under the new system, the sheriffs office as well as each officer will be in constant touch with each other. Up to the present time, enforcement officers in the area were dependent upon telephone service for their contacts. Under the radio system, officers can reach the main office or each other directly from their own cars. Sheriff Dudler also announced that all officers under his office will soon appear in new uniforms. These will be not only attractive, but will be distinctive, lending he mark a distinguishing officer while on duty. The Carbon County radio control from the sheriffs office has been proclaimed one of the most efficient in the state. An officer js on duty at the central station in the county jail headquarters the t w e n t hours during the day. With the installation in East Carbon, a blockade can be thrown over the entire area within a few minutes time, with all officers alerted. Radios are also installed in the police cars of both Price and Helper, allowing interchange of messages from these to any other police radios in the county. For Jay DeAngeles -r Sunnyside School Receives Okay On Physical Condition A report of the inspection of the Sunnyside School made by John Fetzer, Salt Lake City architect was released this week by George Ockey, secretary of the Carbon school district. According to this report, the school building was found to be in good condition, and only a few minor repairs were recommended at this time. Mr. Fetzer stated, however, that a definite okay on this building would have to await the study of the mining company maps of underground workings to determine if any tunnels or other workings exist under the school building, Our deepest sympathy is ex- -, tended to La Vae and Shanna and Mrs. DeAngeles.
