A few weeks ago, Oscar Allred of Salina had his hearing aid stoken from his home. The young-at-heaman of 90 plus years hasnt been able to replace it for lack of funds. Many of the young people who have been the most recent recipients of Oscars kindnesses decided to do something to help out. They are starting up a collection for a new hearing aid and will be calling at the homes of local residents for donations. Also, money can be taken in or mailed to the Oscar Allred Fund, Zions First National Bank, Salina, Utah 84654. For years, Oscar has opened his doors to the young people of the area and has let them have a go at making clay designs. The children who visit him now have parents who also spent time in Oscars home when they were children. Mr. Allreds sight is nearly gone, and his hearing aid loss has been felt very keenly. Heres a small way to say thanks to a special person for the countless hours of fun that nearly every child growing up in the area has had in Oscars company. rt Sevier School District To Propose 9.8 Million Bond Issue Sept. 25 North Sevier High School students could be attending classes in a new high school in two to three years if a proposed $9.8 million bond issue is approved Sept. 25 by school district voters. The Sevier School District Board of Education last Thursday voted to hold the election to get permission from district voters to issue the bonds, as needed, to finance new school construction and acquisition of school sites. A public meeting to explain the proposal and answer any questions from North Sevier area residents has been tentatively scheduled for the evening of Sept. 6. We cant wait any longer, Supt. Darrell K. White explained. Every year inflation boosts construction costs 20 percent. If we waited until next year, another $1 million would be added to the cost to construct a new North Sevier High School. By asking district patrons to authorized the bond issue now, the Salina Seniors Party Thursday honor Salina Senior Citizens will persons with August birthdays at a potluck dinner and birthday party beginning at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, August 23 at the American Legion Park. In case of inclement weather, the party will be held at the Senior Citizens Center. All Salina senior citizens are invited to attend. district will be able to save money on construction, the superintendent emphasized. He said estimated cost of the new high school is between $4 - $5 million. A small gymnasium would be built at the school, and the present NSHS gym used for competitive events until another large gym is warranted at the new school site. The present NSHS would be converted to a middle school for sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Eventually, he noted, another elementary school site and building probably will be needed in the area. If approved by voters, the bonds would not affect taxes in the district, Supt. White said. The district has sufficient tax base and revenue from taxes to pay off the issue without raising taxes. We have reduced the school tax levy from 41 'j mills to 28.3 mills, he noted. The revaluation of the county will increase the total tax bill for district residents this year.
