Show Fir ell V Blfild r aft Needs Are Great In Alpine District . Administration officials of the Alpine School District have now met with over 50 selected small groups to present the per-tinent per-tinent facts concerning the needs to be met with the forthcoming forth-coming bond Issue, conducting the discussions and answering ' any questions that might arise. President R. Phil Shumway, Shumway, of the Alpine Board of Education, states that the conclusion of the board is that a $2,000,000 bond issue appears to be the most practical and sound method of meeting the district's growing needs. School business is no longer small time, Mr. Shumway reports, re-ports, and it is big' business and ever growing. Right now Alpine District's schools are a-gain a-gain bursting at the seams. The new bond issue is to be used to meet the following needs: The Orem High School must have an addition. Built originally origin-ally to house 1500 students, its daily- student enrollment for 1968 is now set at 1750. A new elementary school Is planned for Orem. The Sharon school is overcrowded by 5 units un-its over Its capacity. The old Iindon School built in 1892 has long been in need of renovation and addition. 14 new rooms are planned for this site. By 1967 American Fork High School will no longer be able I. 1 1.. J it- l a seven room addition at Shelley then becomes a must. - - Lehi Junior High School has never had facilities for prepar- . Itlff vtwvil Yimh on1 1o1ro o ' suitable music room. The bond will take care of these deficiencies. deficien-cies. The vocation shop program pro-gram at. Lehi High School has also outgrown its space. An addition ad-dition will fill this need. Most important, , by voting this hand iia thee district will put itself in a position to enjoy en-joy state bond and building aid. . In the past Alpine tax dollars have helped other areas by way of state bond and building aid. Alpine District stands to- receive re-ceive about $1,000,000 in state aid during the next four years. Tax rates, as such, will not be increased as a result of uie bond issue. Rather, the present bonded indebtedness structure, which currently runs to 1976, ' will be increased one year, and i the current annual bond payments pay-ments will be increased. . "Thus," continues President Shumway, "the increased bonding bond-ing program is a sensible must for the district. With it the district dis-trict can complete a $3,000,000 building program with a local outlay of $2,000,000. StBatile - As this epistle " was being penciled last Friday afternoon, President Johnson was trying to make up his mind whether or not to ' resume' dropping bombs on North Viet Nam. I for one hope he decided to . do it. For my money, of which I have less each, day due to the war-spawned inflation, I can-see can-see no good reasonfor fighting any war unless we are determined deter-mined to win it. And this means hitting the enemy with every- . thing we have in the places that will hurt him most. Dog fights between the Viet Cong guerillas and American Marines and infantrymen in the stinking swamps and jungles accomplish nothing, except to sacrifice American boys and ammunition. Such futile, indecisive inde-cisive combat could go on for " years. : .; ' v ".y U 1 If a short, decisive, victorious war means bombing the North viaf fanitn1 rttv Hanoi, and . AV - W --J , , the surrounding military supply installations, so be it. If the Red Chinese send "Volunteers" to help the Congs and we have to bomb their large munition plants, and major troop concentrations, con-centrations, so be it. And while this is going on, a few things should1 be straightened straighten-ed out here at home. 1. Wages should be frozen at their 1965 level and strikes should be outlawed for the "duration.' It's just plain unfair un-fair and senseless to pay the worker who makes the bullets e1 1! mBunt d ' "Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City In Utah County' VOL LXII, No. 5 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1966 GETS AWARD "Lifetime Membership" placque is presented to George L. Paul, by Fred Keetch, C of C president. George L. Paul Membership at George L. Paul, local business man, sportsman and civic and church leader, was awarded a ' "Life Membership" in the PI.-Grove PI.-Grove Chamber of Commerce, last Thursday night at the annual an-nual banquet meeting.

Mr. Paul has served as Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove City Councilman, city marshall, director and chairman chair-man of Chamber of Commerce, chairman of Better Business Committee and has promoted special business sales campaigns cam-paigns for several years'. For the LDS Church he has served in the stake "and ward YMMIA superintendency, the Third Ward bishopric and the Timpanogos Stake High Council In the Boy Scout program, he " has been an Explorer adviser, Scout Troop committeeman, a Merit Badge counselor, and re-. ceived his Eagle Scout award . in 1948.

His wife is the former Amy Creek full $4.00 per hour and the soldier who risks his life shooting them only 30 cents. On top of that, if .the soldier "strikes" or in other words refuses to fight, he can be courtmartialed and shot. , 2. Prices of everything should -be frozen at the 1965 level, until the war is won. The cost of living liv-ing went up four-tenths of one per cent during December. The same day the cost of living increase in-crease was noted, a huge Am- erican grocery chain announced announc-ed that its net profit for 1965 was 40 per cent overxthat for ' 1964. What sense is there for permitting goings-on like that? 3. American - businessmen should be prohibited from making mak-ing profits of 20 to 30 per cent on business and industrial investments in-vestments in South Viet Nam. While, at the same time, the U.S. protects them from losses caused by war or confiscation if we lose the conflict. , In the unsolicited opinion of one luckily surviving veteran of World War I, any war should mean sacrifice. Not only for the American boys, bleeding and , dying in Viet Nam, but for all of ' us non-combatants in the safety of our own homes. ' For a moment, just compare the "sacrifice" of business, ; wages and profits; better, than ; usual; with the sacrifice of hu- man life and limb.
