It seemed like an eternity before the firemen were done,'" Mrs. Sally Johnson said. She said many of the friends and relatives have pitched in to help rebuild the damaged house. Mrs. Johnson mentioned the couples friends from Eagles Lodge 3285 in Granger have been a great help. The fire fighters from Station 52 have been very busy this week due to the hot, dry weather conditions.

' SILLY RECENTLY THE BINGHAM Lion's Community Pride Evident In Active Copperton Lions Club By Lois Knutsen COPPERTON The 37 members of the Bingham Lions Club boast of having the best and most active club in the state. They talk with pride of the many projects undertaken last year and enthuse over plans being made for the coming year. Active and dedicated sums up what these men are to one of the oldest clubs in Salt Lake County. They also talk proudly of the part their wives play in the organization. They work right along with us, is a repeated comment as they describe their activities. Billy Osoro has just been elected and installed as president of the Club for the coming year. His first vice president is Bud Patrick, Val Reynolds will serve as second vice president and third vice is Larry Arriotola. Keeping the minutes will be Gary Curtis and Frank English holds the purse strings as treasurer. The job of Lion Tamer has gone to Frank Cowdell and Larry Sax is the Tail Twister. Activities The Club has occupied quarters in a building facing the park since 1966. At one time a large greenhouse, operated by the Kennecott Corporation, sat on the land. Many residents of the community can remember when the areas homes were landscaped with the plants grown in that greenhouse. This past year the Club has poured cement in front of the building and fashioned new sidewalks. The edifice was also painted, inside and out, and new carpeting put down in the basement. Repairs to a retaining wall were also affected and general sprucing up of the grounds performed. The Club sponsored three high school age young ladies to Washington D.C. for five days as they were a part of the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans. This is an annual project and since the programs inception in 1969, they have sent 27 young people to our nations capital to see government in action. This past year the Club set up their own blood bank. It is part of the Intermountain Blood Services, a blood assurance program, and they were given credit for 36 units of blood drawn last September. They assure that this will be an annual program from now on. When the Lions Van came to Copperton members manned the vehicle and many of the townspeople J went through and were checked for such things as hearing, sight, and blood pressure. il The Clubs interest in furthering sports among its young people has been evidenced by the financial support they have pledged. Last year they sent one boy to Kansas, Missouri to participate in a baseball tournament. A girl was sent to Texas where she played in a bobby sox tournament. The members proudly state that both of these activities had also been picked as members of an all-st- J , i FRANK ENGLISH, newly installed treasurer of the Bingham Lion's Club, will hold the purse strings of this active Copperton organization. ar team. time two boys were sent to California to participate in the Holiday Youth Conference At Thanksgiving been elected president Df the OSORO has jnstaed QS club in Cop- ham Ljon-per1on .

For the mechanically inclined the restoration of an old 1939 International fire engine was a delight. It came out of Bingham and was still in use when the town came down. They now use it during parades, to pull hay wagons, and at other times for exhibition. Halloweeen is a fun time for everyone in this community. The Club shows a movie and or creates an enticing spook alley for its young people. This coming year they plan to hold a dance for the adults to that everyone celebrates. Its a big Christmas party every year with cartoons for the kids and a visit from Santa, who just happens to have treats for everyone in his big bag. Each community widow is remembered at Christmas with a box of candy, they passed out approximately 60 boxes last year. Needy families receive a Christmas basket from the Club. They wind up the year with an annual New Years Adult party. Last year about 90 couples attended and danced the new year in. Its fun for the children when the Easter Bunny comes to town. In conjunction with the Civic Club, members dress up as bunnies to delight the little ones. They hide plastic eggs that contain a treat or a note that is good for $.50. The Clubs year ends with members attending the Lions Gub State Convention. This year it was held on May 28, 29, and 30. Twenty-tw- o members and their wives were present and they were in charge of a large steak fry. They cooked for 750 people. They are an active group of people. During July and August no regular meetings will be conducted but they still get together to work on special projects. Beginning with September they will again meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month.
