State Authorityi Employed to Fix Salary Budget L. John Nuttall, superintendent of Salt Lake City schools met Jointly with the Alpine district school bonrd and teachers association board of directors Tuesday on request of the Alpine Teachers association and dis cussed the matter or w or ring out a teacher's salary budget for this dls trict. Mr. Nuttall is being recognized recogniz-ed as an authority on this work in the state and has already been employed em-ployed by several districts to set up a basis on which district teachers should be paid. In his discussion of the question with the board Mr. Nuttall assured both the teachers and school board that no other district salary set up would be used as a basis for this vicinity, but that the salary arrange- vidua! teachers training, ability to teach, years of service, etc. For a number of years Individual teachers and teacher groups have felt that the Alpine district salaries were not Just right as between the various schools and groups and it is generally felt that when a schedule of pay is worked out by an outside and disinterested person these groups will have less to argue about. However, the ability of the taxpayer tax-payer to pay will of necessity be the determining factor in reaching the figure for the teachers total budget. After that it will naturally Jycome the problem of the teachers and school people to make their own division di-vision of the salary fund and this idea of having Mr. Nuttall work out the salary schedule will likely re-leave re-leave the superintendent and board of a lot of headaches. The board agreed with the teachers teach-ers association to Jointly employ Mr. Nuttall to undertake the Job and the first meeting of the committee com-mittee appointed to work on the matter is tentatively set for March 16th. The committee Includes A. B. Anderson, An-derson, T. A. Barratt and Superintendent Superin-tendent David Gourley of the district, dis-trict, and Dorothy Jones, Margaret Thurman, Basil Dorton, J. M. Walker, Walk-er, Alfred Rogers, LaVere Wadley and Erval Christensen of the teachers teach-ers association. Oxygen Tent Drive Progressing Progress-ing Nicely What if someone very dear to you a child, a brother or sister, perhaps per-haps your husband or wife, or a parent, lay battling desperately for life, and, what if you knew as you stood by the sick bed that to relieve strain on a heart and lungs already pushed beyond the limit that an oxygen tent would give that sick one an even chance for recovery? Would you not then be very grateful that such equipment was at hand in i your local hospital? There are some who are under the Impression that the hospital already al-ready is equipped with an oxygen tent. This is not correct. The hospital hos-pital is now using an oxygen tank which in itself is a boon in respiratory respira-tory cases, but how much better it will be when patients can receive the full benefit of the oxygen by being placed under a tent "Rome wasn't built In a day" and neither is the average hospital able to install in-stall all equipment at once. The club women, and women of various organizations ' throughout the city have adopted the plan of depositing a penny each time they meet together. In addition, small cans appropriately labeled are catching the "spare change" of shoppers in the business houses. In this way the fund Is to be raised with which to purchase an oxygen tent. In the very near future the general committee heading the drive will collect the cans and the public will then be advised as to how the fund is growing. The cans will be Lrfiturned.. hosue.ver,,.U)..to .busloess houses anLtfaa drive will go on. " There is nothing about the drive, Mr. or Mrs. Citizen i of American Fork to make you feel small if you dont give, but there is a whole lot about it that makes you feel big if you're helping the cause along.
