Show Orem-Geneva Times - Thurs., Aug. 11, 1966 Sewage Rates Subject Of Study By Council Orem City sewer rates which are largely determined by the amount of culinary water metered to a service are the subject of study this week by the Orem City Council. The current system of sewer charges has been protested in recent weeks by trailer parks and others who use more culinary water in the summer watering lawns and are subsequently billed for higher sewer charges. At Monday night's Council meet ing, Councilman Stanley A. Leav-itt Leav-itt reviewed the water and sewer charges being made by Orem City to the various schools in the city. The pattern of charges showed that the schools with extensive lawn areas were paying substantial substan-tial sewer charges during the summer months, even though the schools are closed and hardly any use is made of sewage facilities. "I am bringing this to the attention at-tention of the Council to show some of the inequities that exist," he stated. Councilman Harley Gillman mentioned some examples of other inequities in which only nominal sewer charges are made where firms use their own well water that is not metered by the city. Councilman E. Dixon Larson told the Council he had compiled com-piled a substantial amount of information in-formation on water and sewer rates and his committee would be prepared to make recommendations recommen-dations to the Council next Monday Mon-day night. The previously-announced appointment ap-pointment of Arnold Long as Orem City Fire Chief was formalized during Monday night's meeting when the oath of office was administered ad-ministered to Chief Long by City Judge Merrill L. Hermansen. Chief Long succeeds Howard Jacobson in the post. Disscussion by the Council on the problem on 800 South Street west of the freeway concerning a fence which has been erected down the center line of the street resulted in an move by the Council Coun-cil to vacate the street. City Attorney HughVernWentz was instructed to prepare an ordinance or-dinance to effect the action at next Monday's meeting. The Council approved payment of $4,185.91 toSCERA, an amount totaling one-half of the city's annual contribution to the recreation recrea-tion program. Parents Can Help Beginner Take That 'First Big Step' Helping the very little child to take "The First Big Step" into the world of education is considered even more important impor-tant than preparing him for the "second big step," which would take him to college. It is at the beginning that learning to learn, on which all education is based, actually starts. And thanks to a new booklet made available for the first time this year, parents of pre-school . children who instinctively in-stinctively want to give their youngsters as much of a "head start" as possible, some well organized advice is available. It's really a "handbook" for parents that the National School Public Relations Association Asso-ciation has produced in some 3C illustrated pages and it is appropriately titled "The First Big Step," Whui To Do A sampling of some of the things parents can do while the child is yet at home, and before he takes that "first big step" is to make surehe knows;. His age and birthday; colors and shades of colors; the shapes of things a circle, a square, a triangle; What it means to go up, down, behind and inside; How to count to 10 fingers and toes, are ready-made for teaching this; . How to hold a pencil or a crayon fat ones are easier for them to use. The booklet points out that "School cannot make your child learn ... It can help him . . . That is why it is so impor tant for you to help your child learn before he gets to school." Citing skills of varying kinds that are "a part of him," the booklet shows how these can be made to grow with help from parents. Taught at Home The difference between things can be taught preschool pre-school youngsters at home by, for example, having them cut out big newspaper headlines to find out which words and i' ' i r1 -yJ ' I f ; ki .... j im mtmrmifj jMkwc L iiii mini null 'rtttr.miliKrtJ Orem Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 8376 Commander Max De St. Joer congratulates Rick Humphreys, president elect of the Orem High School studentbody, on his being chosen by the Orem Post to attend the Freedom Academy to be held at Camp Williams next week.

Having trouble getting bright red tomatoes? Maybe it's Just been too hot where you live. When tomatoes, especially those growing grow-ing in full sun, are exposed to temperatures over 86 degrees only the yellow pigment in the tomatoes toma-toes develops, not the red. Thus the true bright red fruit Is impossible im-possible to secure. Orange-red is the best you'll get. When temperatures tem-peratures drop below 86 degrees the red pigment will once more develop.

This tradition-shattering development, aimed largely at tailoring instruction to the individual in-dividual pupil, is described in a recent report from Educational Educa-tional Facilities Laboratories (EFL). The report, entitled Schools Without Walls, describes de-scribes a recent trend toward the design of elementary schools in which 100 or more pupils and their teachers are housed in a huge, open room rather than in four or five traditional tra-ditional classrooms. Behind the elimination of interior partitions lie the efforts ef-forts of educators to get away from the rigid educational patterns pat-terns of the traditional classroom. class-room. In its stead, they favor less rigid patterns nongrad-ing, nongrad-ing, team teaching, or both that permit individual pupils to learn at their own best rate. "Undivided" Teachers In these schools, the report said, "there are no partitions to fragment learning by dividing divid-ing teachers, children, and subject matter into tight, standardized compartments. And there are no halls to funnel fun-nel children from compartment compart-ment to compartment at the arbitrary dictate of a bell. Each child finds his own place, creates his own path." In other words, under a non-graded, non-graded, team teaching program pro-gram in a school without walls, a pupil may shift easily and unobtrusively from group to group, depending on his ability abil-ity in the subject matter at hand. The pupil may spend one hour with an advanced group in arithmetic, a second with an average group in history, and a third in a small, remedial reme-dial group to bolster his reading read-ing ability. He may remain in any group for as many, months as is re- Juts, pf? I , !

If he is b.iirht, he may move ahead at 'i. own pace, avoiding avoid-ing the boredom and frustration frustra-tion of "waiting for the class to catch up." Acoustics No Problem There seem to be few of the acoustical problems that might be expected in the open spaces. And those are all but eliminated elimin-ated if the spaces are carpeted. Movable bookcases and screens can be employed if visual distractions dis-tractions become a problem.
