The question as whether to sponsor the display in conjunction with the Roy First Ward annual celebration, lead the council into a discussion which was a carry over from last weeks council meeting, in which Bishop Louis Child asked the city to a fire works display at the wards July 4th event. Councilman J. Howard Stahle stated in the May 7 meeting that the main criticism which had been brought to his attention, was the fact that if the city Kiwanis Establishes First dub Outside The United States Kiwanis International has just established its first club outside the United States and Canada. Robert Stevens president of the Roy Kiwanis Club announced today. Mr. Stevens said the Kiwanis Club of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, established on April 17, was' the first club organized outside of English and French speaking North America in the 47 year history of the internation al service organization. News of the historic event came from I. R. Witthuhn, Mil waukee, Wis., president of Kiwanis International. In accordance with Kiwanis policy, the new club of Tijuana was sponsored by and assisted in its organization by, neighboring Kiwanis clubs: The Kiwanis Club of San Diego and the club in Chula Vista, California. one-four- Water Pump Water for the storage the display for the Wards celebration, then organizations thinking that there was a connection between the First other civic groups would expect city display and the ward sponthe city to help them in similar sored event. activities.

CLEARFIELD The American Legion Auxiliary will distribute poppies on Poppy Day which will be held on Friday, May 25 and on Saturday, May 26, 1962. Mrs. Otto W. Coder is Poppy Day Chairman. The poppies will be distributed by volunteer workers who are members and junior members of the Clearfield unit. They will distribute poppies on Friday, May 25 in the Roy Shopping Center, and on the streets of the business district of Clearfield on Friday and on Saturday. The American Legion Auxiliary supplies veterans free materials, for making poppies. Hospitalized veterans of both World Wars and the Korean Conflict are given gainful employment and needed work therapy by making poppies in the Fort Douglas Veterans Administration Hospital. This is under the direction of the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Utah. Each unit of the auxiliary is given a quota to distribute, with the Clearfield unit quota set at 1,000 poppies. All funds collected are used for Rehabilitation and Child WeU The property will be used for the construction of a holding reservoir for the collection of runoff water from the proposed new $600,000 storm sewer. The move was made by coun have on the The spokesman for the Citizens, Dahl Crabtree, stated they are not against a raise in teachers pay. There is great inequality in teachers pay already, he said, and therefore they are not advocating a blanket raise. Supt. Bell confirmed two figures taken by Mr. Crabtree from the boards telecast. In answer to Mr. Crabtrees challenge of the arithmetic final figure quoted at that time, Dr. Bell explained that he had greatly overestimated at the time of telecast. Mr Crabtree cited an example of a school bus driver requesting a new windshield wiper blade at the shop. Instead a whole new was installed wiper assembly with the explanation they have a If such waste plentiful supply. exists concerning $10 items, how can we be sure some may not of dollars exist in hundreds items, he asked. Earlier in the evening the evening the background had been set by Supt. Bell and various members of the board when they stated that the leeway tax election had been delayed several years knowing that the taxpayers could hardly expect to readily vote a tax raise upon themselves. All possible cuts have already been made, they said. It was under the unanimous instruction of the Board that Supt. Bell set about to sell the public on the idea, they said.

Each club and civic organization, along with each church ward is asked to have their organization head or his representative there at this meeting. The purpose of the meeting will be to plan the events and set the date of the celebration for this summer. Officers for the event will be elected to start the proceedings, and commiittee heads will also have to be picked. Chairman J. Howard Stahle urges that organization heads, or those assigned, make every effort to be in attendance at the meeting. This would be a vital step toward the successful outcome of the anniversary celebration. A letter is to be sent to the various organizations informing them of this date. The general Foundation funds, County is the only one who has ever gone past the research stage into the actual paying of merit pay funds to teachers, Supt. Bell explained. Several administrators took exception to any inference that any dissatisfaction exists between the good teachers and the administration. Dr. Bell said that he ery definitely believes in the merit pay system, but that there are a few teachers who argue very strongly against it. Both the Farm Bureau and Citizens told of numerous calls received from teachers condemtoo much ning merit pay as and not enough ability. Merit pay was suggested as much more so the guilty culprit driving teachers away than the salary raise issue. Next the five man teachers organization, headed by Jay Taggart, moved to the conference table. As the teachers organization sought the boards thinking Bryce Jensen advocated a start of $150 raise with the bulk of it being distributed among the beginning teachers and up to" 10 years of experience in the Weber District. The committee declined to accept. The Farm Bureau delegation was received with courtesy. One spokesman realized that during the heat of the election both sides Withwere a little out the Okay of the official organization a few members made outlandish statements of their own accord, he said. On the other hand many school children were sent home overly anxious over the possibility of them having to Walk to school next year. Board President John Van Drimmelen confronted them with Why did you turn down our leeway tax when you did not have any alternate solution ready to take its place? They replied that all attempts to obtain legislation from the teacher-packe- d legislature have failed and will continue to fail until such time as interest and circumstances combine to generate enough pressure. The question, H ai anything been done to find any other means than an increase in property tax to raise the no- cess ary money? was asked1 by the Bureau spokesman. Junior Stewart. He was told that the administration had refrained from taking any stand. On the one hand the property owners recent added burden, being put upon them while on the other hand any attempt to shift some of the burden onto labor incomes would arouse the ire of labor. This refers presumably to the opinion heard by numerous citizens lately regarding the possibility of means of taxing making a living. The fellow who has invested in a farm or a business as a means of making a living foots the bill while the fellow who invests in education such as an educator, professional men, etc. is untaxed for school purposes, they say. who accepted Weber brown-nosin- g point-blan- ' k . public will be welcome. to be taken some place, and the holding reservoir was the only place possible.

Both groups had representatives present to discuss with the board and Supt. Bell the reasoning behind their role in helping to overwhelmingly defeat the board's recent leeway tax increase proposal. No agreement with the board was reached by the teachers delegation headed by Jay Taggart, on the amount of salary raise to be included in the teacher's new contracts. As the conclusion to the Citizens Committee hearing, they requested that sanction be given by the board for the organization of a specific body of taxpayers to take charge of going over the district matters and books in search of possible answers to the lack of sufficient funds.

The well has a 14 inch pipe leading into it, with the capacity to pump out 88,000 gallons per minute, when the valve is opened all the way. An estimated five million gallons of water were used last summer by Clearfield area residents. Water pumped from the well has been piped into an irrigation ditch, giving plenty of water for gardening purposes. After completion of the storage tank the well water will be stored until needed for culinary use. Foreman of the deep well pump, M. R. Gordon, 42 E., 450 So., said that sample checks are made seven times daily to insure that the water Is kept clean. Water used mainly for Irrigation has been coming from thr Weber Pete Winner Named Clearfield Storage Tank bearing Halfway Mark The construction of a new two million gallon water storage tank for Clearfield water users, is proceeding on schedule with completion slated for late in July or early August. When completed the structure will provide water for both culinary and irrigation purposes in the Clearfield area. Wallace Olsen, project foreman, reports that the job is apfinished. proximately The mammoth circle shaped structure is being built with 1,000 yards of cement and 100 tons of steel reinforcement, said Mr. Ol sen. The diameter is 132 feet and has a height of 22 feet. The whole structure upon completion will be buried in the hillside with a foot of soil covering the roof. The 1000 yards of cement will be distributed in the proximity of 300 yards for the roof, 425 yards for the two foot thick walls, and 225 yards being laid down for floors. The actual construction will be carried on in egiht stages, with the walls being poured in four sections, a quarter at a time. A new type of plastic seal will be use between each section to against leakage. After two sections of the wall have been poured, the roof will be put on the completed portion. After1 the final two sections have been poured the second part of the roof will be laid, and all connections and joints sealed. The low bid for the project was submitted by Newell J.
