Steel contribution to UVIDA, OREM ALPINE SCHOOL DISTRICT FACTS- To help visualize the growth and expenditure the Alpine School board has been confronted with during the last 24 years it was revealed at a recent meeting that the Harrington, and Cedar Fort schools are the only two pre-war "elementary schools left in the district, that have not been added upon or renovated in some way. 23 years ago the entire school budget totaled $600,000 now the school lunch program alone equals that figure. The district has about 1000 full-time full-time employees on the payroll. The much talked of new Orem High school will .not be built at this time. The present birthrate !indicate'that after the prese'nt Oim High School iV Enlarged to accommodate 2000- students, it should serve the area for a good many years (8 or 9) unless the area has an unforseen growth that is not In sight at the present. The sight that has been purchased west of the City Hall will be kept for future development. AAU BOUTS AGAIN IN OREM-Stan OREM-Stan Chynoweth and his boxing group will again bring the State AAU boxing bout to Orem.

Last year the bouts were held in Orem and through the combined -efforts of the various groups In the city were hailed as the best ever held by the AAU boxing committee. Last year marked the, first year the bouts have ever been held any place other than Salt Lake City. GETTING ALONG Here are some thoughts onhow to get along in this world. They aren't original with us, and the author is not known. But hardly anyone will say they are not good rules to follow. And they're not easy to follow. Read the list thoughtfully: 1. Keep skid chains on your tongue. Always say less than you think. 2. Make promises sparingly, and keep them faithfully, no matter mat-ter what it costs you. 3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind, encouraging encourag-ing work to or about somebody. Praise good work, regardless of who did it. 4. Be interested in others, in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes and families: Let everyone you meet, however humble, hum-ble, feel that you regard him as one of importance. 5. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. 6. Keep an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but don't argue. 7. If you have virtues, let them speak for themselves. Refuse to talk of another's vices. 8. Be careful of another's feelings. 9. Pay no attention to ill-natured ill-natured remarks about yourself. So live that nobody will believe them. 10. Do your work, be patient, keep your disposition even, forget self, and you will be rewarded. 3-D'S APPEAR AT OREM ,11TH WARD Members of the Orem Stake M-Men Gleaners will , sponsQr. the fabulously well-known professional pro-fessional team, ihe 3D's at a Fireside to be held Sunday January Jan-uary 30, 8:30 p.m., In the Orem 11th Ward Chapel, 440 East 800 South. Everyone 18 years of age or older is cordially invited to attend. i Benefit Slated For Retarded Children Igor Gorin, world recognized bar atone, will appear in a benefit concert for the State Training School Association for Retarded Children, February 12th in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. Mr. Gorin is best known in Utah for his repeated performances of Brlgham Young in All Faces West." He has traveled throughout through-out the world appearing in recitals, re-citals, operas, and concerts singing sing-ing with major orchestras and opera companies. He has been lauded by critics as A singer of the first magnitude' who is "en-: 'dowed with the divine lust for song. His command presence, rich voice, and fine musicianship bring him enthusiastic reception wherever he appears. Teh benefit concert given by Mr. Gorin es expected to raise enough money to equip a genetics laboratory at the Utah State Training School at American Fork. The laboratory would be designed to find out why each child is retarded through chemical chemi-cal and genetic research. This laboratory will be one of the most modern dlagnositc centers cen-ters found in any institution. Parents will be able to know why their child Is retarded and the chances of It happening again. , Some causes of retardation have been identified in recent years. The lab would allow the 'No Vacancy' Utah's Guard The no vacancy" sip Is out at Utah's National Guard Armories. Units have no room for new recruits, re-cruits, senior guard officers said this week. We simply have no remaining vacancies for men without previous pre-vious military experience," said Maj. Gen. Maurice L. Watts, Utah Adjutant General. The halt in Utah recruiting is due to capacity-plus loads at regular reg-ular army training centers, General Gen-eral Watts explained. Hard pressed pres-sed to meet increased demands-of demands-of America's commitment In Viet Nam, these facilities are, for the most part, training only recruits who are headed for full time army duty. We now have some 750 Utah Guardsmen whom we haven't been able to assign t6 six-months' active duty," the general added, noting that this overload of untrained un-trained members bars further' new" enlistments. He said, however, that men who have previously served with American Am-erican Armed Forces may enlist in the Utah Guard fact, there presently Is no celling on these prior service", enlistments.

Salary: $10,000 to $11,000 for qualified man. ' That is the substance of an advertisement which was being prepared for publication by Orem City Wednesday following a meeting meet-ing of the Orem . City Council Monday night at which Mayor James E. Mangum was authorized to do so. Action, on the question of hiring hir-ing a licensed engineer "for Orem City came after several months of study by the Orem City Council Coun-cil which has been considering the possibility of contracting all of the city's engineering work out to a private engineering firm. For the past two years, Chester Kocherhans, long-time employee in the city engineering department depart-ment has been serving as city engineer. Prior to this time, . Bud Miller and Ed Carlson served successively as city engineer, following- the resignation of Leonard Leo-nard V. Beckman, Orem's last licensed engineer. MAJOR PROJECTS Although members of theorem City Council have expressed themselves as being generally pleased with the manner in which Mr. Kocherhans and his staff have handled routine engineering prob lems, they have expressed, con cern that the planning and execution ex-ecution of major engineeringprd-jects engineeringprd-jects In the city could only be done by a licensed engineer. For this reason, several major engineering projects have been done for the city under contract, by a firm of consulting engineers. Last year, the Council invited proposals from a number of Western West-ern engineering firms on planning plan-ning for a storm sewer system for Orem City. At the suggestion of some members of the Council, the proposal of a local engineering engineer-ing firm was expanded to include a program to handle all of the city's routine, engineering work, as wen as 10 pruceeu uh uie storm sewer planning. FAVORS PROPOSAL Prime proponent of the plan to have the city contract ail us engineering services was Council man Harley Gillman who ieit that it would economically provide pro-vide professional engineering services' to the city. Concern about the proposed trial period, as well as the fate of the present engineering engineer-ing staff under the new arrange ment stood In the way or a concensus con-census by the Council, and at It's last meeting of 1965, a committee com-mittee was named to study the engineering en-gineering problem, as well as the possibility of hiring, a li Alpine To Vote 2 Million At a recent meeting, members of the Alpine Board of Education outlined the urgent needs for additional ad-ditional school facilities In the Alpine School District to enable them to handle the vast influx of students that have given the district dis-trict a record enrollment. President Pres-ident Phil Shumway presided over the meeting and Superintendent Dan Peterson of the School Board pointed out the problems the, School district faces and ways in which they hope to obtain money mon-ey for the facilities they need. Mr. Peterson also explained that the district would hold a $2,000,000 bond election on February Feb-ruary 7, 1966 in the Alpine School District, in which the school board would give the residents of the Alpine School District a chance to vote on the additional bonded indebtedness. Attending the meeting were Press representatives of the area, Church, Union, School, city, and Industrial representatives. Mr. Peterson brought out in his talk that school business is ever growing big business.

SPLIT VOTE In Monday night's meeting the-actual the-actual decision to hire a licensed engineer hinged on a split vote in which Mayor Mangum broke a 2-2 tie vote, in the absence of Councilman Paul Washburn. Mayor Mangum joined with Councilmen James M.: aranur and Stan Leavitt in voting to up-grade up-grade the present city engineering engineer-ing department and hire a licensed licens-ed engineer in the salary range of $10,000 to $11,000. Councilman E. Dixon Larson said he voted against the proposal pro-posal since he felt the salary stipulated would be inadequate to attract a qualified man of the calibre desired. Councilman Gillman said he .still felt the proposal of the private pri-vate engineering firm was too. good to turn down.

In 1943 the Alpine School District Dis-trict had 4,500 daily students. Comparatively speaking, Provo District had 6,000 students; Nebo District enrolled 5,000 students. Today's enrollment puts Provo at 7,000; Nebo at 9,000 and Alpine Al-pine at 16,000. Thus, in spite of the fact that since World War H Alpine has spent more than a million a year in new sites and buildings, the board of education is again calling upon its patrons to support a $2,000,000 bond issue to meet its critical building needs. The new bond issue is to be used to meet the following needs: The Orem High School must have an addition. Built originally in 1965 to house 1500 students, its daily student enrollment for 1968 is now set at 1750. Thier needs must be met. A new elementary school is planned for a location at 8th East, 2nd North, Orem. The Sharon Elementary, near this area, was built originally to house 19 units. Twenty four units are now crowded into its confines. The old Lindon School built in 1892 has long been in need of renovation and addition. Fourteen Four-teen new rooms ?ro planned for this site. By 1967 American Fork's High: school will no longer be able to include the 9th grade. With the 9th grade returning to the Junior high, the 6th grade will of necessity ne-cessity have to find other quar ters. A seven room addition at Dollar Bonding Eagle Banquet Set An Eagle Scout Banquet, for scouts belonging to the Juab-Utah-Wasatch County units will be held tonight, Thursday January Jan-uary 20, 6:45 p.m. in the Wilkinson Wilkin-son Center at the Brigham Young' University. The guest and featured speaker for the nights program will be' well-known Ezra Taft Benson.

Lehi Junior High has never had facilities for preparing school lunch and lacks a suitable music room. The bond will care for these deficiencies. The vocational shop program has outgrown its space at Lehi High School. An addition will fill this need. By voting this bond issue the district will put itself in a posi tion to enjoy state bond and building build-ing aid. For the first time in history, the Alpine District received, re-ceived, in the present fiscal year, $232,000 in state bond and building build-ing aid. By voting this new bond" issue the district will continue to meet the states prescribed for mula and in so doing should re ceive approximately $250,000 a year for the next four years. Without the bond the district will lose the fore-mentioned state aid. In the past, Alpine tax dollars have helped other areas by way of state bonds and building aid. By voting this bond issue, Al pine District stands to receive about $1,000,000 in state aid during the next four year. Tax rates as such will not be increased as a result of the bond issue. Rather, the present bonded indebtedness structure, which currently runs to 1976, will be increased one year and the current cur-rent annual bond payments will be increased. , "The increased bonding program pro-gram is a sensible must for the Ldistrict. With it the district can complete a $3,000,000 building program with a local outlay of $2,000,000 ' At Center in July of 1943 and he has received re-ceived the "Silver Buffalo the. .highest national award presented .to an adult leader.
