"- - 11 : : WHERE SHALL THE NEW BINGHAM ! HIGH SCHOOL BE LOCATED? . . The foregoing question has call-- - ed for the most serious consider-- ' f : ation on the part of the Board of : I Education and the citizens of i Bingham, "Highland Boy, Upper Bingham, Lark and Copperton, for the past few months. Two lo--? r4f cations that of the present site, and a new site at Copperton ; f- have held the attention of those ': who are interested. Mass meet--' - ' ings, committee meetings, and Board meetings have discussed i the matter in an endeavor to ar-- j ' rive at a decision which would be elearly in the interest of the child-- ; ren, for whom schools -- are estfcb- - r lished and maintained. At a i meeting held in the Jordan High i School auditorium, the Board promised that when a decision was reached, the reasons for such ; a decision would be made knowx to the citizens initerested, and ii fulfillment ofo that promise thit " v r statement is made. The arguments which have beer presented in favor of retaining 1 the hitrh school at its Dresent site stant check on drivers, busses and students, has never had a serious accident, which proves tfaat our transportation system has been far safer than private transporta-tion, which no one advocates do-ing away with. 4. The Utah Copper Company is building up Copperton as a home town for its employees. The only way it could profit financial-ly by the location of the high school there is by charging higher rentals. No one has intimated that this is to be done if the high school is located there. That Central Bingham property will depreciate because of the re-moval of the high school is rather loubrful. The students will be at Jopperton only during school ours. They will be under the arental roof at night. They will pend their energy at Copperton, I ut not their money. Locating 'he University at Salt Lake City r the Agruculiural College at ugan meant much financially to .iose cities, because thousands of aro substantially as follows: 1. Bingham has gone throug J t'ig circumstances t. 4 ti'-- i itiself permanently i ( . ;fe canyon and is en.utled to e s h 'i Si'L ol v ithin its presen. .ijr.'.t. - J. It would be a tremendout burden on the tax-paye- to trans-port the high school students to .J Jopperton, costing approximately v . . .13J,000 annually. 4 3. Transpor. ation it dangerous and especially so on the road from the present site down to Copper-ton- . It is not so dangerous above '; the present site to the upper camps of the canyon as the traf-fic is not so heavy. ? 4. The Utah Copper Company would be the people to be directly benefitted by the removal of the high school to Copperton, as the latter is privately owned by that company; while central Bingham would suffer serious losses in property values by reason of such removal. J 5. Is not the Utah Copper Com-pany primarily responsible for the attempt to move the school to Copperton, and for purely selfish reasons, and would not the school be built upon ground owned by the Utah Copper Company J 6. Bingham does not need the I playgrounds which would be available at Copperton. II has "Nature's playgrounds at its very I doors." I 7. To add on to the present high f school building would cost only I about one-thir- d as much as to .luilents go there, live there dur--g the school year, night and day nd spend their money there ; but .ementary- - and high schools, to nich pupils are transposed aily, do not so contribute to the conomic resources of a town. 5. No, the Utah Copper Com-pany is not responsible for the at-tempt to remove the Bingham aigh school to Copperton. If the :uove is made, the Utah Copper Company, which hasn't a child of ts own, will have to pay the argest part of the bill. 6. No. 6 above is rather unique ind a new idea, ot long ago .he Board was criticised rather severely for not expending about thirty thousand dollars in remov-ing the dump opposite the old aigh school building to provide a iittle playground. Now it is dis-covered that no playground is needed because "Nature's play-ground is at our doors." 7. No. 7 above has already been discussed in part in the proceed-ing paragraph. . " 8. The argument that schools ihould be build within larger cen-er- a of population applies very well to 'elementary schools. But Joes that apply to high schools and colleges! 9. Another general statement may properly be added here. Schools are established and main-tained for children. Their wel-fare is of prime importance. Do the arguments which have been advanced against removal of the high school appeal to tihe citizens as aiming primarily at safeguard-ing the welfare of the boys and irlst Primarily, it is not prop-erty values; it is not a slight in-crease in taxes which is the crux of the matter. It is, what is for he greatest good of our boys and ,'irls, and is this added expendi- - ure justified in the benefits .vhich will acrue to the citizens jf tomorrow 1 ' The Board of Education has, in ts best and maturest judgment, iccided in favor of the welfare of he boys and girls. They have de-cided to build a splendid high cuool at Copperton. Now that .his decision has been reached, hy not everybody get back of he Board and make this the fin- - .1 school in the State of Utah. UOARD Jordan School District. I build an entirely new plant at Copperton.. This would save the tax-paye- another added burden. ; 8. Schools and colleges should be built within the larger center of population within walking dis-tance of the people they serve, f and not out away from these cen- - ters if they are to serve as real j community educational centers, f 9. Children should be kept near '. home, available for home calls ' when needed, and should not be beyond the immediate call of the parents. j Several additional minor argu- - ments have been advanced, but ;j the foregoing constitute the major i; ones against the removal of thf high school. I Arguments which have been advanced in favor of removing the site to Copperton, and in replv to the foregoing arguments run about as follows: i ghs--- is entitled to 4i : i vc,n ..( lu ul as is any toA '.' n he state far better .ban car rr- r. r.bed at the presr.

The cost of transportation I v ::i:l J be increased, but the clain I that it would be increased $30, I OOO annually is sheer exageration. The transportation cost for the f entire Jordan district is now less j than $24,000 annually. This in-- 4 dudes the transportation of about fifteen or sixteen hundred child-- I ren. Highland Boy, Upper Bing- - ham, Lark and Copperton high school students are already being I transported. The additional trans-- I portation cost would come almost wholly in transporting the Bing-- J ham central high school students i to Copperton, which would cost I approximately five thousand dol-- I lars annually, including depreci- - atioon on busses and all other f items.

(Steve) Hendickson, city policeman for the past 15 months has tendered his resigna-tion to the Town Board and will leave Bingham June the first tt take a position undner the civil service for which he took examin-ation successfully some time ago. Officer Hemlrickson is "well known here and well liked by the citizens of the town, which he has served so efficiently, and while they will regret to lose his ser-vices they will be pleased tb know of his advancement to a position where opportunities are greater for promotion. Soon after coming to Bingham Mr. Ilendrickson was married to Miss Margaret llatt, employee of the Mountain States Telegraph & Telephone Co. here. They expect to make their home in Salt Lake City after June first. The Bulle-tin joins the host of Mr. and Mrs. llendrickson's friends in wishing them every success. ' MEZA ACQUITTED Rafael Meza, charged with as-sault and battery on Tony Rolao-d-at the California, May 10th, was acquitted last: Friday by a jury in the city court. Meza waa charged with inflicting a severe knife wound in the chest of Ro-lando in an altercation at the above named place and a jury trial was demanded by the defen-dant through his attorney D. & Oustavesen. In addition to having the cast dismissed the complaining wit-ness made an agreement to pay the defendant $150 damages for malicious prosecution. BINGHAM YOUTH WINS HIGH HONORS Mr. J. B. Myers, local manager for the Utah Iwer and Light Co. returned to Bingham yesterday from Wichita, Kansas, where, on Mondry, he attended" the gradu-ation exercises of the St. John's Military School and witnessed the graduation of his son, John O. Myers, 17, who also returned tb Bingham. Mr. Myers may well be proud of the reeord made by his son at St. Johns. This young man has brought honor, not only to him-self and parents, but also to Bing-ham, his home city. He was the Russell Sage medal, which is given each year to the student making the highest marks in all school work. We extend our heartiest con- - CTAtlll Af inna PUYGROUNDSTO BE FINISHED The last call to mesa has been sounded and if all goes well the playgrounds will be completed by the time the Bulletin reaches you. The new concrete wall, metal posts and wire fencing will make a most substantial improvement, both in the appearance and use-fulln-of the grounds. It will be a joy to see the little fellows crowd into the one safe spot where they can play in meas-- 1 urable safety without the former hazard of darting into the street after a ball or other plaything without restraint While it has required much effort to and grade fence the grounds and equip it with the necessary aparatus to furnish the proper recreation and sport for the kiddies, it is certain to be well worth all it has cost. The enterprise was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and much credit is due not only to them but also to the Town Board and to the mining companies and others :'or their cooperation and help. COPPER LEAGUE GETS UNDERWAY AGAIN SUNDAY; -- MAGNA COMES TO BINGHAM AR-THUR PLAYS AT HOME The Copper League will be seen in action again on Sunday when Magna, the league leaders will play Copper in the Bingham Park while Salt Lake will attempt to break into the win column against Arthur in the Garfield Park. Games of the week have included some thrilling baseball. Copper set Arthur down in a handy fashion and Magna refused to let Joe Barneny break ino the win-ning column and sent the Bees back home with another defeat. The Magna team although not excelling in hitting are working together in a beautiful manner. The team is in first place through their ability to play well together and through the old standhv of better team work. Copper has a slugging outfit that is apt to break up any ball game in nany inning and are ' ft real threat to the leaders. Ar-thur has faltered in the last few starts and the Bees simply have not the material to be considered seriously in this league as yet. There is a posisbility that the Bees may get some much needed help in the seconnd half and make the race more interesting.

Bftjl Any package, even though the contents be unharmed, deprecia-tes in value if the cover is soiled, torn, or the least bit mutilated. Furniture with the leasK scratch; a suit, tho never worn, that has faded ; a book with a broken cov-er; a shirt with a torn tail, are less than the best, and so sold at a discount. A perfect animal with a skin blemish never takes prize. Look around you and - see all these things that are made to look attractive in order that you may be attracted thereby then, think of your town. ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST IS SOLD AT A DISCOUNT There is an old and very true aying that "What the eye does-n't see, the heart doesn't fancy," 'ut is is also true that the eye sees any things that blind the heart ;o that which it otherwise would fancy. How often have you seen a b'emish on the face of an other-wif- e beautiful woman, so notice-able that whenever you looked at her, you could not keep your eye -- ff heblemisht She might be v ondcrfully gowned, marvelously The picture of many conununi-ie- s would serve well for & puzzle picture of 'What's Wrong Here!' Stand back and take a good look at the picture of your own front yard, your store, your office building, your factory. Does it look good or are you ' half way ashamed of it! Are you proud of it, or do you apologize for the looks of it when company calls or people start talking about itt Selling a town and to keep pace with modern times, it must be soldis like selling anything else. Therefore, how your town looks ia of vital importance. There are few towns that are not very much like the "otoherwise beauti-ful woman" their beauty is so marred by blemishes that the be-holder cannot see the attractive-ness for looking at the scars. Do your part set an example by eliminating the scars, the blemishes of your corner and otners will do likewiise. It's poor business to allow the value of your community-i- s to be discoun-ted by poor appearance. irroomed and exquisitely coiffed, nit try as you might, you could see only the mar. The appearaance of anything either repels or invites ownership. Eighty per cent of the things sold today are purchased through, or the purchase is influenced by, the eye. What a thing looks like, therefore, iis extremely important in creating a desire in ihe minds of others for it. , The appearance of a town is just as important as the appear-ance of a package, the appearance of a show window, clothing, or anything that is purchased in the store or on the market. Why do they put colored pic-Pu- re wrappers on cans of beans, corn and tomatoes it doesn't make the contents of the can any better. Why do automobile man-ufacturers spend so much time, care and money on the exterior appearance of the motor ear it doesn't make the motor run any smoother or last any loon ger, or make the car ride any easier. FORD JOINS JEWISH LODGE There seems to be more than . seven major wonders in the world Henry Ford, who, a few years ago was carrying on a bitter campaign against the "international Jew" has nowf become an "adopted" Jew himself, having recently join-ed a Jewish lodge oof Masons in Detroit. t I saw one of our prominent flappers rolling her own the other day and I am still wonder-ing whose sweet clinging vine she happens too be.
