Goodbye Free Education- One barometer of Inflation is what it costs to enroll a student stu-dent in high school these days One student at OHS stated that during the first week of school she paid $50.00 for fees and books and $70.00 for clothes Political Sidelight ' In last week's Citizens Party convention an attempt by the newly formed Better Govern ment Party to merge with then Citizen's Party was quashed when Gam Swensn started to nominate a candidate for the city council, but was not recog nized by the chair since he was not presently residing in Orem The new party, however, is re ported to be considering the possibility of nominating candidates can-didates at the People's Party convention Thursday night, thus attempting a merge with the People's Party. 4-Year Set-Back We were press guests of the University of Utah at the BYU Utah football frolic last week end. We must say we did not appreciate being seated among the Ute rooters after the first few minutes of the game. It was right down emibarras sing. The first play when the Y center tried to put the ball through the uprights every one around us asked if that was the new play Coach Stevens was introducing. We received quite a ribbing all evening. We have tried to figure out just what ailed the Y besides being outplayed, out-coached and out-scored. We have come to the conclusion that Y football progress is now back where it was before Hal Kopp took the reigns of the school. When the assistant Coaching staff handed in their resignation resigna-tion last year, Friday's display made you feel that the school authorities should have accepted accept-ed it, and retained Kopp. As long as BYU is content to hire high school coaches to coach college football the story will never change. History at the Y for many years has proved that. The question is now, do we have to go along for four or five years being the doormat of the skyline sky-line Conference before those n charge admit something should: be done. The fans of Utah county have been faithful and patient with the football progress at the Y; and to receive a four year setback set-back is going to show on the gate receipts. Covering of Ditches Will Not Be Placed On City Election Ballot Public Is Loser In Steel Strike Says Club Speaker "The big loser in the steel strike is not the union, or the striker but the public," according accord-ing to Frank Robertson, president presi-dent of the Western Writers Association and noted columnist, column-ist, as he addressed the Orem Business and Porfessiional Women's Wo-men's Club at their regular monthly dinner meeting held Tuesday evening at a local cafe "The Steel Corporations are enjoying bigger profits and the stael workers are higher paid than ever before but the rest of the public that don't enjoy these periodic raises, that has helped to decrease the value of the dollar to 48c, are the one that really feel the blunt of these wage hikes as food prices and expenses soar to an all time h'gh." Robertson also stated stat-ed that "the interest of the public should also be considered consider-ed " Mr. Robertson was introduced introduc-ed by Dona Sumner, public affairs af-fairs chairman, Lydia Hogan, president, conducted a short business meeting. The dinner table was beautifully beauti-fully decorated with bronze chrysanthemums. There were 18 members and 3 guests present who were: Amelia Buckley, Cynthia Curtis Cur-tis and Dorothy Stratton.

A full agenda filled the evening eve-ning for the Orem City Council Coun-cil this week which met Tuesday Tues-day rather than Monday due to the Columbus Day Holiday. Members of the Orem Safety Council met with the City Council to discuss problems of safety in the "community. The group headed by Chairman Leon Bawden recommended that the. public be allowed to vote on the matter of covering irrigation ditches with tax funds. The specific recommendation was to place on the ballot In the Nov. 3 municipal election the question of raising the mill levy by one mill to be earmarked ear-marked for covering irrigation ditches by the city. Councilmen recalled that a similar request to levy one mill for Public Safety is now set at the maximum permitted by law would appear to rule out the possibility of increasing the levy in this department, Mayor V. Emil Hansen stated. The probable elimination of many irrigation ditches throughout the city in the next few years due to residential Citizens Will Vote Dog Issue Nov. 3 "Do you approve of the provisions pro-visions of Orem's' animal control con-trol ordinance which require citizens to keep their dogs leashed or confined to the property prop-erty of their owners 24 hours a day?" This is the question which Orem voters will answer when they cast their ballots in the Nov. 3 municipal election. The matter of placing the dog question on the ballot was raised at Tuesday night's Orem City Council meeting as an outgrowth out-growth of an editorial in a recent re-cent issue of the Orem-Gen-eva Times. City Manager O. V. . Farns-worth Farns-worth said he continues to receive re-ceive complaints daily about property depredations by dogs In view of the recent criticism criti-cism of the city's dog ordinance passed early this year the Council felt that an expression of public opinion would be valuable in ascertaining the wishes of Orem residents regarding re-garding the controling of dogs. growth was suggested by councilmen. coun-cilmen. Covering of such ditches ditch-es now would be both costly and of l'ttle value, they said. In connection w'.ih a revised subdivision ordinance being prepared by the city attorney, the Council instructed Mr Wentz to include for council consideration provisions which would require subdividers to cover or fence irrigation ditches running through or adjacent ad-jacent to new residential developments.

"At least 300 of the 750 children are in seri ious need of help." Dr. Me cham stated. The speaker recommended that for the most part a rehab ilitation program within the schools is cheaper and more effective ef-fective than a program where the child Is Institutionalized.

"There are, of course, children who require care within an institution, but many can be rehabilitated through special classes within the schools," the speaker stated. stat-ed. "Two biggest problems fac ing the school rehabilitation for handicapped children are the obtaining of qualified teachers for special education classes such as speech and hearing, Cerebral Palsy, etc., and the awarding of scholarships to students to encourage students to take additional study to qualify them to instruct in these special education classes, Dr. Mecham declared.
