Fence Construction Being Rushed at Caveman Home Construction of the ball park fence reached the half-way mark this week as all members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce worked long shifts in an attempt to complete the fence for the opening Industrial League ball game on May 17 at the home park. It Is estimated this civic project would cost the city $2,500 in labor had it been necessary to contract for Its construction. $2,500 has been spent for materials which includes posts and redwood lumber. It will take 2,000 feet of fence to enclose the ball park, according accord-ing to Stanford Dahl, Jaycee president.

American Fork will have the first nine month kindergartens entirely paid for by the school district during the 1950-51 season. Superintendent David R. Mitchell announced today. The state law of 1947 provides ' that boards of education may establish nine months kindergartens kindergar-tens where facilities are available. avail-able. Up to the present time facilities fa-cilities have not been available in the Alpine School district, so have been held in the summer time only. It is the policy of the Alpine Board of Education to establish., kindergartens as fast as possible and where room Is not available for full time schools they will be continued during the summer. v This policy of introducing kindergartens kin-dergartens gradually Is recommended recom-mended by the State Board of Education for three seasons, Mr. Mitchell said. First, because all educational programs should be carefully studied; second, because be-cause state aid for such a program pro-gram Is not granted . until the program has been In operation ' ' for one year, and third, because of the great difficulty of getting trained kindergarten teachers. With the completion of the new Forbes building It is now thought that American Fork has adequate facilities for the beginning be-ginning of kindergartens.
