Education leading to early detection and prompt treatment alone could save half of those who develop cancer. Only one out of three Is now saved.

Ward was appointed building and maintenance supervisor in the district. Thomas Haws Appointed Fire Warden Annroval was given by the county commissioners Monday for the appointment of Thomas Haws as District Fire Warden. The appointment was with the approval of Paul Sjoblom of the State Department of Forestry and Fire Control. They all felt the experience Mr. Haws has had as assistant fire warden places him in the best position for the post as it would take a year for a new man to become well acquainted with the demands of the job.

Nettie who has Archibald, been the president for the past two years was released, with Phyllis Marble, who served as a counselor for the past six years. Road Problems Considered bv Commissioners Road problems brought before the county commissioners Monday included a request by for Myrl Norr of Deweyville work on the road which runs north under the hill from the junction of highway 69 and the road from Tremonton. He reported this two mile stretch of road is in bad shape and nothing has been done on it for years. He also suggested the installation of a culvert when the work is being done. The commissioners reported this road was already on the agenda for chipping and seal coating. asked Warren Holmgren about help on a drain in the borrow pit along the road running west from the north limit of Bear River City, as the water has cut down in the borrow pit until the fence is being washed away. He said Dick Harris of the ASC office had made a study of it, and decided this borrow pit drains some of the land in that area. The commissioners however,' felt this situation was created largely by runoff water from irrigation. They agreed to look into the matter and consult with Mr. surer. Other appointments to be filled are: A second counselor at Box Elder Junior High School. A coordinator of Vocational Education to be appointed on a 12 month basis, under federal vocational program, the government paying up to 50 per cent of salary, certain secretarial and supplies used in the program. Elementary school counselor, to be employed on an eleven month contract basis to render service to the elementary students of the district. Ask For Special Units The school board will also request the state to provide special distribution units as follows: One half unit for kindergarten at Park Valley and Snowville and one full unit for teaching in the district. d String Program Three thousand dollars was appropriated to expand and enrich the elementary string program in the Brigham City area. It was recommended that additional violins be purchased and that this program be expanded to the Elementary schools in the. Box Elder high school area which do not have this program at the present time.

March 24 at the new Bear River Junior High School. Prompted by increases from stale funds and the growing pressure from school patrons, the winter kindergarten will tx'gin with the school term this fall. The board has held a light reign in starting the winter kindergarten liecatise of the lack of funds, and the crowded class room condition thai previously has created problems in the district. J. C. Haws Superintendent advised the board, that the extra funds created by the state, additional space in the classrooms, and the release of classroom equipment puts the district in a good position to start the program. Falling enrollment figures also played an iniortant part in the board's decision to approve the pro- gram. Kindergarten Program Plans are for two sessions of kindergarten each day with each session to last two and f hours. Since winter kindergarten will begin this year there will be no testing of pupils for early admittance into school.
