Utah State Press Association The Jaycees were pretty unhappy, last Saturday night, when their stellar attraction of the basketball season drew fewer spectators than players. The Jaycees met Wasatch Lime, Ogden Independent leagues top quintet, and played them a game that the 25 or so fans who were present will remember a long, long time. Because all of you read this pajer, and more read all of the pages except the ediis a pretty good torials, the publicity medium. You get a story and an ad about something thats going to happen in the and just about everybody in this end of Box Elder county, and a lot of people at Snowville and Yost and Grouse Creek and Park Valley, will know about it. But because we happen to be the people hammering typewriters at the where the paper is produced, it doesnt follow that we are, have been or ever will claim to be experts on what people will go for, what sort of an attraction will draw a News-Journ- al hole-in-the-w- all crowd, and when and where.

He could have blown his top and canceled his advertising and insisted that the cub reporter who wrote that story be fired, and maybe even ask us to burn down the off-han- News-Journ- al building, but he didnt. We apologize very, very abjectly to Van Engelens, we repeat, Van Engelens. We .wish we could assure them that it would never happen again. But it probably will.

When the high school teams are winning, they draw crowds. But weve heard a lot of Peaches baseball managements. and Farm Bureau baseball management, and various tournament baseball managements, worry and gnash their teeth because the crowds stayed away from good baseball games here . . . but in droves! The Jaycee team has won nearly all of its games this season, and the boys have gone out of their way to choose the highest-calibr- e opponents available, put they arent drawing crowds. The Jaycees could and would line up a bracketful of the best independent teams in the state and stage a tournament here, if there were any indication that the fans wanted to see it. But if last Saturday nights game is the basing point, there isnt ' any indication. Sometimes a lecturer here (although, generally, it has to be free) will pack the tabernacle, and again he wont fill the front ten rows. Sometimes an outstanding musical program will hang them from the rafters, then again the place echoes. Why? We dont know. Then why dont we sit down and let somebody take the floor who does?

The Wildlife federation has called a meeting of all sportsmen of Box Elder county, members of their organization and all others who enjoy hunting, or enjoy having the game birds and animals in fields and on the mountains. The meeting will be held this (Friday) evening, in the Commercial dubrooms, third floor, First Security bank building, beginning at 8 oclock. Tonight the sportsmen will call upon competent authorities and observant sportsmen for advice. Anyone with an idea will be given a hearing.

Dear Bill: It is close tu 100 degrees in the shade here in Christchurch, New Zealand today and to ho quite trank we could use some of the winter that Utah is havin r Christing. The weather church has been stifling tne past few days. We get a wind that people call a norwester" that comes across the Canterbury plains until by the time it hits Christchurch it is like the vent on a central heating unit. Yesterday (Sunday) it was 91 degrees in the shade before nine thirty in the morning. So much for the beautiful weather we are enjoying down here. Today 1 received some more of your newsy editions of the l and they were a treat for sore eyes. I really look forward to the home town scandal sheet (as the fellows call it) and have to take a break while I catch up on all the local happenings. There are two or three columns in the paper that really rate with me and they are: the Grin Reaper, the marriage licenses and the births. I must keep up on the changes .n population and the humor contained in your editorials is tops. Only last night we read over the one about home night once a week and it was all right. Keep up the good work! The city I am stationed in at present is named Christchurch and is the most beautiful city in New Zealand. It has a population of 130,000 and is located at the easj end of what they call the Canterbury plains. The city is really flat except for some small hills south of the city. Rumor has it that there are more bicycles here per capita than in any other town in the world and I dont think they are wrong. To try to go any plae between inthe hours of the morning eight and nine and five and six in the evening is foolhardy There are so many bikes in the streets that the beginner is ground into the dust in a matter of minutes. (But with all of its hazards it still ranks as the prettiest town in New Zealand by all unbiased observers. It has a small river (over home we call them irrithat winds ditches) gation through the town and all along the way there are weeping willow trees and right now it is beautiful. One acre in every eight is devoted to parks or gardens and that in itself is a definite aid in making the city News-Journa- flower mote pmie in having guldens than they do elsewhere-iLhe dominion and some of the rose beds ar& the most beautiful Ive ever seen. We have ben laboring in a part of the uty that has many beautiful homes, and some of the homes tank along with the finest that Utah towns can biast. Many hired gardeners people have who do nothing but care for pnvate gardens, and their efforts really help the fair name of Christchurch. It has been wonderful having this opportunity to come forth into a strange land and labor among the people as a of my people in Utah. People here have a decided for Amricans but it they have a bitter taste left by egotistical, boastful servicemen who were here during the war and sometimes the remarks conYanks" are very cutcerning ting. With it all we have gained many fiiends wherever we go and our basketball teams that have played here are known for their line sportsmanship and clean play. Most of the people here seem to nurse a secret desire to go to America respre-sentativ- homes with a butler and a maid in each but we do our best to straighten out such misleading ideas. New Zealand peoplp as a people whole are a good-livinand are quite keen on sports. Their sports vary from cricket, rugby, soccer and bowles, (the English version). Many people play tennis and I believe that itself and average New- Zealander rapid is making basketball strides in spreading to all parts of of the dominion.
