Show t. i ' TOE BMOflAM BULLETHM VOLUME THIRTY-EIGH- T BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FEBIIUAUY 9, 1928 No- - 6 WE LIKE OUR WORK There is grief in e.ll business. The man who eudeavors to accomplish something worth while never finda his rath strewn with roses. Hut sometimes we feel that newspaper publishing carries with it an in-ordinate amount of trouble. One week there is no news and we have to drain our imaginations to the very dregs to find something that will inter-est our readers. The next week there is so much excitement that we almost wish our type were made of rubber, in order that we might squeeze into li-mited space the large volume of interesting matter on hand. We are often hosteged with the rival claims of two extreme partisans, and if we adopt what we beleve to be the truth, namely the middle course, we are accused by each side of favoring the other. When the machinery in the shop is in excellent working order business is apt to be slack. Dut the moment something goes wrong with the Intricate mechanism of the linotype we are deluged with orders, and every customer wants his Job today. There are compensations, however. We know of nothing that can bring n.ore deep seated satisfaction than editing and publishing a country paper. There can never be anv monotony. We are forever dealing with the Impon-derable and highly interesting subjct, human nature. The aveiage newspa-per worker experiences more in a year than many people experience in a life time. And all this makes life interesting. Newspaper work in a community like ours brings one a wide circle of frl-end- and true friendship is one of the finest things that any of us can get out of life. Dut in addition to all this there is also the satisfaction one s out of working to up build the community in which one lives. To ela-borate upon this is unnecessary. Our intelligent readers realize how. vital to the welfare of the community a good local paper U. In short we like our work. In spite of its difficulties, it makes life in-teresting and happy. Iu the opportunities it ofers for serving the commun-ity, It gives purpose to existence. Some time ago Mr. Herbert S. h tendered the University of Utah a gift of $500 fo.- - lecture work in the field of Child Welfare. After canvassing the matter carefully the University decided to use this fund for a Child Hygiene Conferer.ee, to be held In Walt La he City, April ?,, 1, and 5, 192S. Dr. A. L. Beeley, of ot Sociology of the Uni-versity, hf.s tver, placed in clia ge of this confc Si nce. Dr. lhelcy is an ac-tive worker in this field. The specific t hint's, to h- - empha-sised at the Confeivriv are matters which have been given little or no consideration in this slate, us yi I. These arc: The Nursery School, The Child Guidance Clinic, v.ntl Paternal Education. Tho Conference will be in the na-ture of a ..ymposiuni to which par-ents, teachers, social workers physi-cians, and all others who have pro-fessional dealings with children s' a be invited to attend and participate free of charge. In order to make such a Confer-ence succe sful it is proposed to se-cure the services of two or three eminent authoiities, representing na-tional organizations in these and re-lated fields. Loc.:l speakers, or course, will also participate on thr programs and in the OA russlons. This Conference will be 'eld the two days immediately preceding the Utah Educational Administrator's Conference which has already been announced for April 5. 6, and 7. This arrangement has been made in order to enable the schocl supcrintendnt t of the State and others whi will be in Suit Lake during Conference week to take advantage of the child hygiene meetings. Bingham-Cypru- s Friday Night What is undoubtedly the most Cru-cial game of the entire Jordan revi-sion will be held tonight when the Dingham High and the Cyprtu High meet in the new Magna Gymnasium in a battle which will nuean the elim-ination of one of the two teams from any further chances for the Jordan Division championship. Should Bing-ham High lose the contest they would still have a chance to cop sec-ond place honors, but should the Cy-prus boys lose they will be eliminat-ed from the running entirely. In the opening game of the year' the Dingham team won the Initial contest by a narrow margin of one point and the Cyprus boys played the best game of ball they have played all year. In the games last week Bingham succeeded in trouncing the league leading Grantsville High school by decisive score, Hervllla and Grant garnering 9 and 8 baskets a piece respectively. Cyprus on the other hand handed the Tooele team a real lacing and won handily. Bob Sonne, Blue and Gold scoring aco, sinking 8 field goals for the evening. Cyprus boast.) two of the but guards in the division In Westphul and Jacobs and Hervllla and Grant will certainly have to be on their toes to score consistently against these two boys. Dingham has hit their stride in tlus last two sanies and appears headed for the championship of the division at this writing. They still have la play Grantsville in the Grantsvillo hall. Thin game will no doubt be a hard one. Grantsvillo must niof-- t Murray in the Murray Gynin and tho Smelter boys should win this game. For all of these reasons the game tonight between Bingham and the Magna boys will be a thriller. The gymnasium is the best in the entiro state and there is no reauou why the greatest basketball classic of the en-tire year will be dished out to tho Copper District f,ans starting Friday evening, at Magna in the new Cyprus Gymnasium at 7:30 o'clock. Go early and get a real reat. Oist. governor Visits Bingham Justice Haymond L. Givenj of the Supreme Court or Idaho, who Is also District Governor of the Utah-Idah-district of Klwanls clubs, paid a visit to the club at Bingham last Friday. He was the luncheon guest of the club At its hall on Main street. At the luncheon Judge Given.) discussed many matters of interest to the club, he fclso made many inquiries as to howj the local organization handled many of lta problems. Mention was made of the Kiwanis quartet of this plao having been se-lected to sing at the National Con ventlon to be held in Seattle next June. The local club member plan to travel to the convention city In a caraVani joining Salt Lake, Pocatello and other cities en route, much ent-husiasm is manifested in tho plan. The regular monthly business meeting of the club was held on Thu.sday night at the club rooms. The following new members were ad-mitted to the club; Ed. John on of Ed. Johnson's Market; Ray H. Kee-ner, Justice of the Peace: Lee W. Wiliams of the Utah - Ielaware Mng. Co., snd J. R. Jarvis of the Bingham Bulletin. After an appropriate wel-come had been given the new mem-bers, dinner was served to about fo ty members present. After this the va-rious committee', mad, reports on the work outlined for the club's Hprin"! ramialcn. Mr. Wayne Shelly made at some length a very comprehensive report on sanitary conditions in the Highland Hoy District. After sonic discussion the Club to a-- the Cotmiy Commission-er!, and the Town Board So meet vi' the club to discuss ways to eli-minate the present unsatisfactory conditions existing here at the pres-ent tjme. Owing to the fact tlmt CoppWIeld and Highland Boy as well as the district below town are no' within the limits of the city, it wis 'hour;' I necessary to ask for a meet-ing of those in authority both In the) rit y and county in order to make thj work effective. Di--- t. Commander Clarence Wa'kins j reported on the activitiP ; of the Hoy j Scouts, paying it war, proposed to ( form a Court of Honor this year. j IK Is Your Boy Worth? BY REV. REX BAKU. Thl,) is a queer question, Isn't It? But had you ever given this question any thought? It is worth thinking of a bit. It' I should ask a farmer what a certain hog were worth he could tell me what the animal was worth to him because he keeps posted on the price of hogs. He could also give m a price on a horse or a cow for the same reason. Each of these animals have a certain market value. Dut what about the farmer's boy? Does hi? know what he is worth? As a government we appropriate 'millions of dollars for the study of the diseases of bogs, cows, chicken and other domestic animals. Every-thing is doue to perfect a certain breed of animal and no expense U spared that this certain breed may be absolutely pure blooded. One man I knew spent a great deal of money on his hogs. On day an agent camo to the house and displayed perfumes, powders, and other articles that girli love to own. The girl asked for sev eral articles but. was refu ed on the ground that they were useless. T. I man also had a boy. An agent came sefllng an excellent book (hat would help the boy in his growth from boy-hood to youth :nd then to mar.hool When the boy asked fo- - this, bo.ik is was told that he didn't need it . iiuv lie already had a book. I followed this i ,1 a.ul ho ii: their career. ri h. girl became a woman who wan rn thoroughly respected by those wi'.c knew her. The boy ::t a tender a'.c when boys should be playing and growing, was placed behind the bass, in a detention home for grand 1 How much was this b"' worth? Well, they proved to be j( little use to either their parent., ot-to society in general, and all bee u:k the girl didn't need powder and per-fume and because the, boy already had a book. A little investmni'. might have saved these two lives. JtiRt a short while back I was Inform-ed that a certain boy could not Join a well-know- character forming or-ganization because it would cost tor much. The entire expen e was $3 per year and this amount was to be pali at the rate of He a week. Was thl boy and his future worth that $3.00? The boys in Bingham are aboil the avc age run of these liule h?.:t l-iens. W! at are they worth to the cl-- y and the community? Boys will usu ally live up to our estimate of them. They de.erve the best we can g!v;-them- . We have in Bingham certain excellent organizations that help to make boys into real men. You will find the Boy Rangers, Bosy Scout.; and Sunday School classes all under prop r supervision of adult leade -- s: ip. investigate these organizations and help the boy. to get started on the to worthwhile manhood Help us boost for Bingham boyhood. . iagna fins First Half The Manna basketball team finish-ed the first half of the current split season by defeating their traditional rivals, the Arthur team Monday eve-niu-g by the score of 42 to 25. This victory gives to Magna the undisput-ed title for the loop for the first half of the season and assures them of be-ing one of the contenders of the post season tournament which will be . played at the close of the regular sea-son to determine the championship of the league. . The skillful direction of Hal White and Bill Edmans, has developed a team which upset all of the dope and outplayed, outfought and outscored a ' team which everybody thought was - invincible as far as Copper League ball was concerned. Magna won two of the three con- - ' tests of the first half of the season from Arthur and In the game Monday evening for the title, they beat the Arthur prides by a decisive and over-whelming score. Arthur by winning all of their Bing-ham games, and by beating Magna on the previous game had stayed right on the heels of the Magna team and had they won the contest would have won the first half. So the early pre-diction that Arthur would easily cop the bunting and win the league with-out difficulty has gone awry. Bingham has strengthened consi-derably for the second half and as 'Magna has progressed with unlimited leaps and bounds for the race for 4 second half honors will be as thril-ling as the race for the first half bunting. The schedule for the second half of the league competition will com-mence sometime this week with Mag-na and Bingham being the likely opening contenders. The outcome of this game should be interesting and the game will show the real calibre of Vaugh Chrlstensen's new men. Regardless, however, of the out-come of any particular game or any particular series. Copper league ath-letic has grown and came to be inter-ior to none in Utah and superior to all. The greatest entertainment to the greatest number, at the smallest possible cost to the public has been the scheme of Copper League action since the inception of the league a few short years ago. Those of us who are merely inter-ested spectator of the great contests should get our money's worth in what we see. We certainly are not indebt-ed to the Copper league or to Its offi-cials to such an extent that it requires our advice to repay the debt. The Copper league has reached for great-er success at tMs time than has any other Utah organization of like na-tu- rp ever attained. So we might sug-gest to those who are causing the publicity that can do nothing but re-flect on the league to "Stop biting the hand that's feeding you." BIG VAUDEVILLE SHOW TOMOR-ROW NIGHT.

TEACHERS MEET. tine of the most successful and largely attended meetings ever ! eld by this association took place at the High School Auditorium Monday eve-ning. Mrs. Nerdin presided and the program was exceptionally well ren-dered. The speaking was Interspers-ed with musical numbers, vocal and Instrumental. The principal address was made by Frof. George N. Child', Super! r.tenden t of Salt Lake City schools, his subject being "Value and Importance of Kindergarten." Mr. Child emphasized the work of the kindergarten schools and their Importance to the home and to so-ciety. "Home," he said, "is a costly institution, where parents must give much not only in time and money but of themselves to the welfare of the children. Those without children are able to find amusement and en-tertainment in less expensive plac-es," he said. Mrs. For, Secretary of the National Kindergarten Association was at the meeting and made a very interesting and enthusiastic talk on the work and accomplishments of the organiza-tion. "Sixteen thousand women of Utah, have endorsed the movement, she said. Superintendent Jensen of the Jor-dan district made a short talk in whioh he complimented the Parents-Teacher- s association on their interest in the work of the association and for the large attendance at the meet-ing.

Chief of olice Archie Sorensn, and polio officers Timothy and Garrett swooped down a plant in Carr Fork ?ast Thursday and after failing to persuade persons thought to have keys to the Place (a garage) to un-K-the door a miner'3 pick was used successfully in the operation of "dig-ging" off a heavy padlock. When tin officers entered the plant they fourd evidence aplenty. A five gal-- ; Ion eg mounted in an old Es. ex touriig car apparently ready to go, also fnrty gallons in two other wood-e- n kegs was found by the officers, also several empties were in the place. Chief Sorensen confiscated the booze and the Essex car and it ij Understood the owner of the car lias asince appeared and claimed owner-Shi- p of both car and booze and post-ed ball in the sum of $500, for his ap-pearance on a charge of possession. It wa.3 reported this stock came - from Wyoming and is of superior quality as compared to the "wildcat" brand of stuff obtainable in these Tarts nowadays. The police force has been quite ac-tive lately, having raided several places for both possession of liquor! and gambling games. f Stands the Test of Time J J Coiirreit w. W. P.) SPRING PROGRAM OF ROAD CON-STRUCTION. Commissioner Labium gives out information as to the spring progiani of road construction. Since the change in the depart-ment of county roads, people here have been somewhat concerned as to what effect it would have on the ce-ment highway to the city limits. Mr. Labrum'a announcement made Satur-day, ii reassuring at this time. He stated that the program heretofore outliner on road construction would be carried through. Some contracts have already been taken for resurfacing 'Thirty-thir- d South and other parts of the city that are in need of it. Part of this work may or may not be done accord-ing to the condition of the funds at that time. Mr. Labrura intends to cut down the part of his shop force as he does not think it Is necessary to have so many people at work, although he does not mean to dismiss any of the force that he is able to use. He thinks also by having so much road construction to do that it will prob-ably more a matter of transfers tha" actnal layoffs. Of Mr. Dahlqulst's plan to oil Big Cottonwood, he did not comment. It seems that the Chamber of Com-merce objects to the oiling of thir road as there is the possiblity of thr water becoming contaminated. Miss Alta Acord and Miss Dorm Hansen will entertain the Emanoa Club Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Buchman were Salt Lake visitors Monday. |
