Volume 7,000 Population $900,000 Monthly Payroll DRAGERTON, CARBON COUNTY, UTAH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1956 9 Per-Cop- Number 42 5o y ( Ml Ml min) M Last week the Carbon County School Board announced that, citizens of the county would be asked to vote on a proposition to bond themselves for more than two and one-ha- lf million dollars, in December, for the purpose of, among other, things, building a new high school building in Price. The plan of the school board is to require the tenth eleventh and twelfth grades to attend this new high school. East Carbon residents are well aware that in past years, efforts have been made to obtain high school facili- ties for our own students here in East Carbon. At those times, the school board promised that if we would support projects then contemplated, a high school would be considered for East Carbon some time in the future. Now that the school board is planning a centrally-locate- d three-yehigh school in Price, it becomes clear we are going to be left out of the plans once more. that That not only our eleventh and twelfth, but our. tenth grade students as well, are going to be required to make the bus trip daily to and from Price. Under the leadership of the East . Carbon Rotary dub, citizens of East Carbon are being asked to persuade the school board to revise its announced plans for the coming bond election, to include a new four-yehigh school here in East Carbon. We heartily endorse the Stand of the Rotary club, and urge every East Carbon resident to petition the school board to reconsider the present plan, and to include in it plans for a high school here in the immediate future When you consider that in our East Carbon area we have a population roughly equal to that of Price city, 1200-stude- nt ar 50-mi- le ar . Credit Union Day Proclamation WHEREAS, the Credit Union Movement is now in its second century of service, and WHEREAS, the third Thursday of each October is internationally observed as Credit Union Day, in recognition of the outstanding service being rendered to the people of Sunnyside, Utah, by their credit Union, I DO HEREBY PROCLAIM Thursday, October 18, 1956 as CREDIT UNION DAY to be observed in Sunnyside, Utah, V and urge our people to give fitting -- We as parents want our children to remain at home. We want them spared the danger and discomfort of the long trip to Price and back. We want them to feel free to take part in school activities without the inconvenience of traveling long distances, and of being away from home from early in the morning until late at night. The industry and citizens of East Carbon can easily support a high school here. And the operation of a high school here would be less expensive than is the operatipn in Price, plus the tremendous cost of bus transportation. There are five busses in operation now, and seven would be required under the new plan proposed by the Board of Education. . TTie East Carbon area needs a high school here. We must have it. Unless the school board revises its present plan, upon which we are being asked to vote in the December bond election, it would appear that we are not going to get a high school now, nor at any time in the foreseeable future. What can we do about it? Sit down today and write a letter. Address it to Mr. Don Ross, Chairman, Board of Education, Sunnyside. Tell the school board that you are tired of having your children attend a school twenty-fiv- e miles away, when our second is the community largest in the county. Write down all your reasons why you want a high school here. Or call him on the telephone. Or go to see him in person. This is your last chance ever to get a high school in East Carbon. If the present plan is approved at the polls in December without revision to include a high school here, then we can look forward to having our children ride school buses to Price from now on. of the total and that we have here almost population of all Carbon county, you easily recognize that we are entitled to a high school of our own. . At present, more than 200 students commute to and from Price to attend high school by bus. This bus ride is dangerous. With 60 to 70 students packed together on each bus, imagine the disastrous result of an accident, which is not unlikely on crowded highways, such as 50 and 6r We could remove the possibility of such an accident, if we had a High school here to which our children could go, without exposure to the hazards of the highway. A four-yehigh school here in East Carbon would our to participate in school activities to a students permit extent than they are able to do in a central far greater school in Price. Such participation is important in the , education of every individual. With a high school here, there would be twice as many actjvities available for student participation; that is, there would be two high school football teams in the county, two school plays, two debate teams, etc., where there is now only one in the central Carbon High. In addition, with an enrollment of 400 students, our East Carbon High would offer opportunities for all to participate in one activity or another. Participation in school activities in a central school in Price by East" Carbon students is almost impossible by : reason of distance. Students who stay after school for activities which require rehearsals must provide their own transportation, or their parents must make the long drive to Price and back. The central school in Price will always allow a minimum of participation by East Carbon students, because of the extreme inconvenience of distance' from the school. one-four- th ar -- Frank Whipple Talks Homecoming Royalty VA Tells To Book Cliff Candidates Selected at Carbon Contact Service The Book Cliff dub of Sunnyside met Tuesday evening, October 9, to enjoy an informative program on public welfare.
