Jr. Sharks To Begin
District Play Here
Thursday Night
The Junior Sharks opened their
basketball season by defeating the
Markham Junior Mustangs 22-18
Monday afternoon.
The Jr. Sharks team is com-
posed of boys in the 7th, 8th, and
<Jth grades who had not had a
basketball in their hands until
about three weeks ago. They
showed they had learned much by
defeating a team that has played
basketball before this season. They
also showed much of that same
hustle and “^e can’t be beat” at-
titude they nad in their very suc-
cessful football.season........
They will play their first dis-
trict game here Thursday night in
the opening of the junior high
Class “A” district composed of
Palacios, Bay City, Boling, Whar-
ton and Lamar. The boys and coach
know they will find basketball
rough going for them because of
their lack of playing experience,
but they will give every thing they
have to have a good season..
In the game with Markham,
the Sharks scoring was done by
’ L. J. "Breezy” Blister, 8 points;
Pete Sardelich, G points; "Little
Red” Harvey, G points; and Pat
Regan 2. “Red” Wright also played
a fine ball game by doing some
good ball hundling. Black made
12 points and Medina made 6 for
the Markham scores.
The Jr. Sharks play Boling here
Thursday night. The "B” game
will be at 6:30 and the "A" game
at 7:15. They also will play Mark-
ham here at 2:30 next Tuesday
and Bay City here next Thursday
night. Come out and support these
boys who will be the high school
stars of tomorrow.

WALLACE F. BENNETT, PRESIDENT OF NAM
TV 7" ALL ACE F. BENNETT, paint and varnish manufacturer of Salt
W Lake City, Utah, is the 1949 president of the National Association
* * of Manufacturers, elected by the NAM’s board of directors.
“It may Beem unusual that a large organization like NAM should
choose as its president a man who heads a small business,” Mr. Bennett
said after his election, “but when you consider that 83 per cent of NAM
members employ fewer than 500 workers, then it is not at all strange.
The NAM depends upon smaller industrial firms for the bulk of its
membership, and the small as well as the large companies depend upon
the NAM for national leadership.”
The NAM’s new president who, at the age of 50, is one of the youngest
men ever to head the organization, has 225 employees in the business
that bears his name. ___ , , » ,,
After graduation from the University of Utah in 1919, Mr. Bennett
was principal of San Luis Academy, in Manassa, Colo., for a year.
Then he entered the family business, which had been developed by his
father, John Bennett, from a paint department in a Salt Lake City hay,
grain and feed store. John Bennett, incidentally, had at the age of three
crossed the plains to Utah with his parents in a covered wagon.
In addition to heading the family business, known simply as Bennett s
in Salt Lake City, Mr. Bennett is president of the Bennett Motor Co.,
which holds the local Ford franchise. He has been active m community
as well as business affairs, having been president of the Salt Lake Com-
munity Chest in 1944-45, and for the last three years chairman of its
budget committee. He is a member and past president of the Salt Lake
Rotary Club, a director and member of the executive committee of /ion s
Savings Bank & Trust Co., director of the Utah Home Fire Insurance
Co. and the Utah Oil Refining Co., former president of the National
Glass Distributors Association and former vice president of the Na-
tional Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association.
Mr. Bennett has been a member and treasurer of the Latter Day
Saints Sunday School Gene.al Board since 1935. Two of his sons,
Wallace, 25 and David, 21, have been serving in Europe as missionaries
of the Latter Day Saints Church.

XA/HEN you see the 1949 Chevrolets, a
YY glance will be enough to tell you
they're new—all new—in line and contour,
in beauty and style. And when you look
inside, and under the hood, and beneath
the chassis, you'll see that their newness is
not merely in outward appearance, but in
design and engineering and construction
as well.
But, to a lot of people, the 1949 Chevro-
let is already old. They know what it will
do, and how exceedingly well it will do it—
they know all about its performance, its
comfort, its power, safety, durability and
economy. They are the engineers and tech-
nicians of the General Motors Proving
Ground—the largest, most completely
equipped, outdoor testing laboratory in
the automobile world.
Here, before a single new 1949 Chevro-
let ^fent Into production, experimental
models were tested—made to show that
they possess, in greater measure than ever,
all those qualities on which Chevrolet ha*
built its leadership.
Iiy short, the General Motors Proving
Ground tests are your assurance that your
ne^r-model Chevrolet has proved its worth
■rough many months and many, many
pousands of miles of rough handling.
Soon you will see the new Chevrolet—
’n y°u do, yeu will see a car not
but tried and true.
