" In spite of their own height, the two emphasized that brain more than brawn is needed today. The day of the big hulk of an athlete is over." Keep your mind alert, the boys were told. Studies an1 athletics go hand in hand. "No matter what you do in basketball," Condon told the group, "you've still got to grow up and make a living."

The city-wide basketball program, sponsor of the clinic, is possible through the Scera recreation. Very few cities can hire three coaches for basketball alone, but , Orem has this through Scera. Keith Trane is taking the fifth, sixth and seventh grades of the Lincoln area; Nels Ludlow has fifth sixth, and seventh grade of the OJH area; and Anderson has the Orem junior seventh and all eighth and ninth grades. Under such a setup and with men of this caliber, basketball basket-ball can't help but improve. Within a year or two Orem should begin to see the results. Later, even more improvement should show up ffs the youngest young-est of the present group begin be-gin prep play.

"That's the reason we volunteered vol-unteered to work in the 1964 March of Dimes Campaign in Orem, and that's the reason we believe it deserves the support of all our citizens," said Mr. Christensen. "Anyone who doesn't believe these health problems are important im-portant should look at the figures," declared Mr. Christensen. Christ-ensen. More than 250,000 of our babies are born each year with significant birth defects, I many causing permanent dis ability.. ..We estimate that 210 babies will be born defective in Utah County this year. The March of Dimes, is fighting birth defects, the biggest child health problem in America today. to-day. Some form of arthritis or disabling rheumatic . disease afflicts more than 11 million Americans, many thousands of them being children who suf fer from particularly severe conditions. , Until recently, said Mrs. Hardy, little was being dona to provide uniformly excellent treatment for these victims of crippling disease. Now, the March of Dimes has a nationwide network of nearly 70 treatment centers across the nation where such treatment is available and where trained specialists in these medical areas are developing de-veloping improved techniques which can benefit all disabled" disabl-ed" persons. In Utah we are fortunate to have located two such treatment treat-ment centers. A center for the treatment of Birth Defects is located at the Primary Children's Chil-dren's Hospital in Salt Lake City, and a similar center for the treatment of Arthritis is located at the Universiy of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City.

One is a bond issue of $2,-700,000 $2,-700,000 for new school construction. con-struction. The other is leeway vote to provide additional op erating funds for the district, Date of the bond issue wa3 set last year, and early thL year the school board decided to place the leeway question also on the ballot t the same time. School officials say the leeway funds would be used to lengthen the first grade which now meets for only a half-day, and to offer a seven period day in the junior high and high schools instead of the the present six-period day. To be eligible to vote on either of the two questions, sr person must be a registered voter and have paid property taxes within the past year. Property taxes include 1983 payments on real estate such as homes, buildings or land, or on personal property such automobiles. Polling places will be . announced an-nounced later by district of ficials. The leeway vote, if approved, approv-ed, would permit an eieht ner cent increase in the 'basic school classroom unit amount and would brine atroroximate- ly $300,000 bring addition into Alpine District officers. It would also reaulre an- proximately 4V5 mills increase on the district school tax levy, .which In 1963 was 42.68 mills. Scl:::l Dead S::s First Grcds Cla:::s The Alpine School Board o; Education recognizes one o the basic needs in the eciica tion program is a full tim-first tim-first grade. The Alpine School Distric is one of the few progressive districts in the state that doe, not provide full time firs grade for its children. Jorda to out north and Provo to ou , south both have full time first grades. The supervisory and admin istrative staffs of the distric' have recognized for a Ion; time that our children are be ing penalized because, they have not been able to attend eyV nil rti Vi n en wi a 1m rtlV a f time that other children in the state have. First grade repre sents the child's first full scale introduction to scholarly achievement ach-ievement and instruction in the basic skills. The start the child receives in first grade will determine, to a great de gree, his success In 1 ater grades. Parents and educators alike feel that the present school organ izational plan short changes the child at what is likely his most sen sitive, alert and teachable point in his life. Parental attitude that re flects a growing interest in improving the educational op portunities of first grade stu dents in the Alpine School District is indicated by the following statement from one district resident whose child attends first grade: "Full day first grade classes would mean a great deal to me. There is security in know ing that my child is getting a full, well-rounded curriculum. If we were to move from Al pine School District, I would like to have the assurance of knowing that my child would not be behind other students of equal ability, scholastically since this would have an effect ef-fect on her socially and mentally." men-tally." (Mrs. Peggy Childress) Recently, a family moved to Provo from the Alpine School District in order for their child to enroll in a full day first grade program. The mother's reaction to the prospects of a half day session was as follows: fol-lows: s "I am personally convinced that anything less than a full day first grade is detrimental to the education of my children. child-ren. Failure to provide the full program for the 6-7 year age group constitutes an unnecessary unneces-sary waste of opportunities which seems almost negligent in our present society where there is a great need for an acceleration ac-celeration in learning. These lost hours of creativity and enrichment can never be regained re-gained (Mrs. Leslie .Whettsn) One Orem resident who has always tried to become well informed aboct publie school problems and nee&T' nukes the following statament about District officials said the average aver-age home in Orem is assessed asses-sed for taxing purposes i at about $2000. A 4V4 mill tax levy Increase would mean an extra $9 annual taxes on the home each year; v Superintendent Dan Peterson said the $2,700,000 bond Issue for new construction would not raise the tax levy. It could not, he said, because the district dis-trict is already at its legal maximum for capital outlay. The construction issue can-be can-be repaid without raising taxes said Superintendent Peterson, by not having the principal repayments re-payments begin to fall due until un-til 1974, when the district' current bonded Indebtedness would be paid off. "Plans for the $2,700,000, if approved by the voters, would include: A new elementary school for southwest Orem (in the vicinity of the old Union School which it would replace), re-place), an addition to an elementary ele-mentary school in north Orem, an addition to the Geneva elementary school in Orem, a new elementary school in American Am-erican Fork, a new elementary element-ary school in the community of Alpine, and either a new elementary school in Pleasant Grove or addition to a present elementary school there.. Information from the school board on the need for the additional ad-ditional funds will be carried In issues of the Orem-Geneva Times from now until election. .K::J tzi FI'-d in A!-d C!ft& Alpine School District present half day first grade sessions: I "I am interested in seeing the first grade put on a full day basis so that we could put the cultural arts back into our schools curriculum. Teachers Teach-ers have done a good Job of teaching reading, arithemetic and language arts skills to our first graders under the. present two and a half or three hour period, but there is little time left for art, music, penmam-ahip, penmam-ahip, and basic social science ' instruction. It seems to me that a well educated person today needs at least rudimen- l mT InMiMinn mtial. mm4 artistic skills and help in learning to appreciate these cultural aspects of our daily lives."
