Election The vital Alpine School District Dis-trict Bond vote was passed last Thursday with a margin of more than 10 to 1.

Peterson, district superintendent, said more people voted than he anticipated. A total of 2,993 or about 9.5 per cent, voted in the election. Dr. Peterson Peter-son said the district had hoped for 2,500 or 2,600. The 1972 voter registration figures show 31,370 registered voters in the district. The final vote tally was 2,725 in favor and 268 against the issuance issu-ance of bonds. A breakdown by precincts shows North Orem with 710 for and 25 against and South Orem with 545 for and 27 against. A total of 529 voted in favor of the proposal in Pleasant Grove with 56 against. American Fork had 708 for and 104 against, andLehi had 233 for and 56 against. The district's tax levy will not be increased by the sale of the bonds, officials said. Two basic reasons were given for holding the bond election, including a need for more school space and also a requirement that a school district must be bonded to its legal capacity in order to qualify for consideration for state Critical School Building Aid money, a special dispensation dispensa-tion of money for school building build-ing needs. In a memo to members of the board of education about school building needs, Dr. Peterson pointed out what he termed the obsolescence of existing junior high schools, the increasing student population, and the inflated in-flated cost of construction which isdouble what it was just five years ago." Six building projects in the district were classed as immediate im-mediate building needs. These include junior high schools in Orem, American Fork and Pleasant Grove; additions to Shelley and Windsor Elementary Schools, and a new bus garage facility.

Rehabilitation Helps The Handicapped "Yes We Can" is the motto of a state agency that among its unique aspects annually turns a profit for the state. The Division of Rehabilita tion Services is directed toward the goal of taking people with handicaps and helping them to become productive citizens. Last year 3,003 Utahns with handicaps received aid from Rehab that lead to their obtaining obtain-ing employment. The aid comes in many forms and is tailored to the needs of the individual. For example, 42 year old Bill was disabled by a stroke which left him unable to speak clearly and paralyzed on his left side. His condition made it impossible imposs-ible for him to continue working for the utility company where he had been employed. Bill's doctor doc-tor recommended he see rehab-itation rehab-itation services. Working closely with his Rehabilitation Counselor, Bill was trained to communicate clearly with others and to walk with the aid of a cane. Since he could no longer work for the utility company, the Rehabilitation Rehabili-tation Counselor sponsored him in vocational training in bookkeeping at the Utah Technical Tech-nical College. Bill is now employed by a tax service company. He works in his own home and he is now paying taxes, not living off of them.

He asked that the Council allow him credit for the value of one-half of the 50-foot street in the event he is forced to locate it entirely on his property.
