State. kepJi City. ffeageL Whether to hire a man from outside the city with previous experience as a city manager, or to hire a local man with demonstrated a d ministrative ability that is the problem with which the Orem City Council was wrestling this week. Since the' resignation of Orem City Manager Bennie Schmiett to take the position as executive secretary of the Utah Municipal League is effective ef-fective Monday, Orem City will be without a city man ager after that day. Mayor Jameson has been accepting applications from persons interested in the city manager post since Mr. Sch-miett's Sch-miett's imminent resignation was announced two weeks ago. As a result of advertisements advertise-ments in both local and state newspapers, several applicants had been received by Monday night, and four of those applicants ap-plicants were interviewedby the City Council. Following the interviews, the Council discussed at some length the arguments which have been advanced for hiring a local man or an outsider as a city manager. "If- we want a man with previous experience as a municipal mun-icipal administrator we will have to look outside the city and be prepared to pay a salary sal-ary in excess of $10,000 per year," one councilman said. On the other hand, there would appear to be several men now living in Orem who lack actual experience in city management, but who might readily acquire an insight into in-to city affairs and make excellent ex-cellent city managers." Mayor Jameson told the Council he had received a letter let-ter from the Orem Chamber of Commerce expressing its support sup-port for the appointment of -e local man as city manager. The Mayor said he had also received a petition signed by r : Randle E. Theobald Randb Theobald Fibs for State Legislature Randle E. Theobald of Orem has filed as a Republican candidate can-didate for the Utah State Legislature Leg-islature from District 3, representing re-presenting most of Orem, Lakeview, Vineyard and a small part of North Provo. In announcing his candid acy, Mr. Theobald said: "the most serious problem facing the 1965 legislature will be meeting the critical needs of our schools and institutions without placing an undue tax burden on the state. "Utahn's are among the highest taxed people in the nation, (only 10 states paying a higher per-cent of taxes than we do), and if we place too high a premimum on living liv-ing In Utah or doing business in Utah we will cease our growth and decline as a state." An active leader in business, community, and civic affairs, Mr. Theobald is a past chairman chair-man of the Red Cross Fund drive In Orem, a former mem ber of the Jr. Chamber of Commerce, has been a full-time full-time representative of ' small business In the Intermountain area for several years, and is currently President and Ex ecutive Director of Utah's Small Business Association.

SchntoFclr ; At Lfctcb S:J Fcr Ilsit U::!: Lincoln Jr. High's annual science fair, which has been recognized as one of the most successful of any s I milar scholastic project carried- out in other Utah schools, will be conducted Thursday and Friday Fri-day of next week and is expected ex-pected to draw over two thousand thou-sand interested spectators. Entry En-try s have been estimated to exceed 300 this year, . even though -the studentbody was cut in half by the split in 13S3. ;The public is invited to vTeW" the fair anytime between 12:00 and 8.-00 Thursday and all during dur-ing the school day of Friday. The exhibit will be held In the boys gymnasium at the school, 351 E. 800 So., in Orem. Mr. T. Varley of Geneva Steel will be in charge of the judging, to be done Thursday Morning. Ribbons will be given giv-en for first second and third, also given will be honorable mentions. -Judges will be highly specialized in their individual in-dividual fields. The quality of the work produced for the fair in the past has been excellent, and surprisingly detailed for the age of the young creators. As a matter of fact, Lincoln's projects have placed ' in" regional re-gional science fairs in greater numbers than any o t h er school in Utah. Some efforts have been so outstanding that judges awarded a grand prize to the student. Several of Lincoln's Lin-coln's science teachers have been presented with special awards for the outstanding projects of their students. Last year there were more than 500 projects entered In the six categories which include: in-clude: botany zoology, earth science, chemistry, physics and the special group. The science fair idea was or Iginated five years ago to encourage en-courage and stimulate creative creat-ive thinking in the fields of science. It is valued because it enables students to individually indivi-dually express their ideas and to develop their abilities.
