WORKERS BLUEPRINTING Orems public library will open shortly after January Thomas Cordner of Orem has been named chairman of the board, and Mrs. J. B. Sumner and Mrs. Martha Johnson are the other two members, announces Mayor Jolley. Mrs. Florence Shepherd is librarian. The library is to be located in the south part of the Town hall, occupying the middle floor at present. Donations of books from citizens of Orem and Provo have already been offered, which will be gladly accepted, states the mafCr, but the board does not Intend any concerted drive for books. Any citizens desiring to help the library will be welcome to do so, but the Town board is moving carefully on the matter of appropriations and expense attached to the library, simply providing the building, lights and heat at present. ni of TO Appreciation tnr FA was expressed by Mayor Jolley and for the Interest shown by Mr. Thorpe and Mrs. Holland in the project. The gift of this organization now forms a nucleus around which a real library will be established for the future, declared the mayor this week. An NY A project now under way promises to present to Orem citizens a complete blue print of the entire town, covering 47 miles of water system lines spread like a network over the municipality, and showing also every house, with the new numbering system to be used, with schools and parks and other interesting data. This project is undertaken for several reasons, but mainly to give to the students at the high school a thorough grasp of their own town and district in their civic classes. It will also be Invaluable to 'many citizens and to the Town board. Four NYA wora-er- s are engaged in it. Another project is also under NYA labor, that of clearing the Town park, levelling of the ground, and getting it in shape for spring planting and beautification. Twelve workers are engaged in this project. Mayor B. M. Jolley announces also a Town Directory is being prepared, mainly through NYA assistance.

Education is however a continuous process, and one Is probably safe In saying that It never ends. However, in this district we are attempting at present to carry out the first two steps of this process, that is, elementary and secondary education. We have enrolled in the first six grades, or elementary schools, 2458 students, and in the next six grades, or high schools, 2192 students, or a total of 4650 boys and girls, which is approximated d of the total population of the area covered by tne school district These 4650 boys and girls are the future citizens pt the Communities in which they live. If American ideals and institution are to survive in oup com- munities, it will be because these1 young people, when they become adults, are able to carry cn s: this generation has and is carry ing on. One of the most sacred obligations placed upon the people of Utah by their state constitution is that of a uniform school system and by implication, equal for educational opportunities every boy and girl in the State of Utah. While this sacred obligation has not been completely realized in this state because of the inequality in the distribution of wealth, which gives some districts a much greater expenditure per student than others, it is being gradually overcome by equalization laws now in effect, and that will, without question, be put in effect in the near future. Alpine is one of the financially poor districts in the mate of Utah, but in spite of this fact, one-thir- fically. Visual Instruction, says Mrs Aird, "is the most convincing method of teaching, but it becomes futile without equipment placed at the disposal of the teachers. It Is mainly for such equipment that money is needed in the educational campaign to follow the passage of our bill". Title: The bill as proposed by Aird committee follows: AN ACT TO ESTABLISH the A SPECIAL FUND FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISSEMINATING INFORMATION IN HEALTH EDUCATION WITH SPECIIL REFERENCE TO THE EFFECTS OF TOBACCO, ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AND NARCOTICS UPON THE HU MAN SYSTEM. HOW SAID INSTRUCTION SHALL BE the people have been insistent that the young people of this district get an education compar- -' able to that given elsewhere in the state. This, at times, has meant a higher tax levy than In some of the wealthier districts, and it has meant a careful expenditure of all money by the Board of Education. I am sure it is the desire of the Board of Education that every boy and girl in the district shall be given an equal educational opportunity, and that in considering every problem, the welfare of the boys and girls is the first and only Justifiable consideration. To this policy I subscribe and it will be my duty and solemn obligation to carry it out to the best of my ability. In any situation in which a rather difficult decision exists, the right answer can usually be arrived at by asking, "How does this affect the welfare of the whole-heartedl- y, child? D. R.

The group, numbering 21 residents of Grandview, all occupy land below the Orem town bounder v. and hence are unable to secure water from the Orem system. They represent more than 10 per cent of the property owners in the area, and so presented a signed petition asking the county commissioners assist them in obtaining a water line.

They have spent months In study and investigation, interviewing church and civic leaders, and have accomplished the most practical temperance plan ever devised in Utah, in the opinion of Mayor Anderson. Approval of the Aird bill is gained mostly on its attempt to bring educational forces at work rather than police forces in the operation of the liquor and tobacco business, according to comments made by those who have studied It.

Mitchell Sends New Year's Greetings to Parents of Lincoln District IN JANUARY STAKE --- VuJmm XXII Approval fur a definite move in this direction was also voiced by Principal A. P. Warnick, and others responsible for Lincoln high school activities, who look forward to the Lincoln auditorium as becoming, available at an early date for school activities, without Interrupt! ns by other community programs, desirable as these other programs may be. Commendation for this weeks Scera program came to Mr. Anderson and other directors, with appreciation for the excellent entertainment given all patrons. "Scera has definitely become an Integral part of the Lincoln school district. Support being given is amply warranted by the outstanding programs offered at various times throughout the year, such as Robin Hood, and others, and the people here will be more than willing to back the Scera board In any well considered and feasible plan for erecting an adequate Community hall", vaa (he conclusion voiced by President ,. M. Vernon of the Scera board. Nnu Hear Section 5 Distribution of Funds That said fund shall be distributed to the various school districts on a basis of average daily attendance in the grades where such health Instruction is given.

Inquiries aplenty Indicate to the Scera board the general desire for one. and a survey Just completed shows exaetjy what it would take in the way of materials and costs to build one, but where is the money coming from? Total cost, according to the survey, would not exceed $250. This would provide for a rink 110x220 feet, south of the grandstand across the road from Lincoln high, and also a system of of shades to prevent the ice, with poles and wire for the curtains and lighting, and hose, nozzle, valve fittings, etc. for the spraying equipment. Materials would mea'n cash outlay but labor would come from N.Y.A. and W.P.A., according to the survey report. Orems town board has been interviewed, and while tbey will furnish water and lights free, the budget will not stand this year bny further assessments, they report. Appreciation for the assistance of the Provo city department, with J. P. McGuire, commissioner and Medrick Caron, ice skating rink specialist from Canada, la acknowledged by the Scera committee which has been studying this matter. Hope for a rink is by no means abandoned, however, efforts now going forward to obtain other financial assistance, to obviate the r . of the hazardous lake skating and give to Scera members a real ice skating rink. sun-melti- Orem Infant .
