The team consists of Blake Ingram, Greg Ferre, Richard Stowell, and Dennis Stuart. The group entered the Pasture and Range contest with the intention of learning about the contest in order to help set up a contest in Utah. They were pleasantly surprised to learn that they had placed first in the Western Reg- ion comprising the twelve western states. Scores were high in land judging, but not high enough for a major placing. The tornado that went through Oklahoma City occurred while the group was there. It was one experience for all of those attending to see the damage done to buildings, automobiles, signs, etc. A real appreciation for the Rocky Mountains and their protection was experienced after viewing the damage. The Mt. Nebo Chapter and those attending appreciate the help and encouragement and financial assistance from the Juab Soil Conservation District and the Soil Conservation Sereach vice. They participate year in sponsoring a land judging contest and help in many ways to further the activities of the FFA to make these educational trips possible. The group also extends appreciation and thanks to all of those who offered encouragement and helped in any way to make the trip a success.

In the school years of 1963-6and 1964-6Juab School District built and paid for the Vocational arts building at Juab High School. Following the completion of the building, they lowered the capital outlay taxes by 4.50 mills and at the same time instigated a savings program for the next school project. During the next four years they saved over $93,000.00 and invested this money in U. S. Treasury Bills. Therefore, in January of 1969 when they decided to build a new elementary school addition, this sum was available to begin the project. In carefully working with the architect the cost of the new building was estimated at between $450,000 and $500,000. The architest also determined that the building could be built in two parts, with the first part costing around $325,00, and the second part around $150,000. The Board of Education d with a major financial concern and determined that to bond the district for the necessary amount to building would cost apout $150,000 in interest and bonding procedures, - By delaying theb uilding of the school for one year, they determined they could pay for the building as they built it, and save the tax payers the interest and handling charges. To accomplish this, the capital outlay taxes would need to be raised for 1969 and 1970. In comparing the school tax load in Juab with its five surdistricts rounding Tintic, Nebo, Millard, North Sanpete and South Sanpete it was found that Juab School District taxes were lower each of the four years to 1968, inclusive, than any surrounding district, and that if taxes were raised in 1969 and 1970 to pay for the new building they still would be lower than three of the five districts and less than one mill higher than the other two. With this information the Board of Education and professional staff decided to pay for the building with available funds and continue the practice of keeping Juab School District von-sulte- A Republican Mass Meeting will be held on May 18 at 7:30 p.m. Reserve the date and the place will be announced In next weeks Issue of The Times-New- s.
