Its preferred to have the housing constructed In one location rather than to be scattered. The county, of course, would be responsible for repayment of the loan and the agreement for operation of the housing would extend for 50 years. Commission Chairman Frank Reeder opined that farmers would turn down the proposition If migrants haveaprior. ity on the housing. He suggested also that migrant work-er- s have the means to rent their own housing. The commission chairman reasoned that If new quarters are constructed, superior to that available In other areas, It may prompt migrants to remain in the county, thus creating an additional welfare problem. Project Bids for More The blueprint, drawn up by a Designing Education for the Future com. mlttee, Is an attempt to chart a course for Utah schools to follow Into the next two decades. A separate meeting for teenagers will be held at the high school. They will be concerned with what subjects will be taught In the schools of to. morrow along with how teachers teach, graduation requirements, etc. The youthful participants, repre. sentlng differing ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, are being socio-economi- c Vw Sslhmte? selected from high schools of the area and Include sophomore, Junior and 6en. lor students. Meanwhile, In the adult meeting, con. cern will be focused more squarely on local and state school organization and school finance. Those attending will have an opportunity to express their reactions and recommendations to the committee. The Designing Education for the Future project Is being carried on In eight states with funds provided under the Elementary and Secondary Education act . of 1965. Other participating states are Art. zona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming. Seven other similar meetings are being held throughout the state during December and January. When the project is completed, the final recommendations will be submitted to the Utah State Board of Education, Utahs 40 school districts and the state legislature.
