The present committee, with La Clead Nielson of Lynndyl as chairman, chair-man, met with this year's officers of Parents' Day to choose other representatives from the various ward areas. It will be the duty of this committee com-mittee to gather facts on the different dif-ferent aspects of the building situation sit-uation of the two schools. The most obvious need is greater physical education facilities. As physical ed- ucation is only one facet of a high school, a closer xamination reveals a shortage of class rooms in both schools. At present, three classes are be- ing held in the L.D.S. Seminary building; student counselors, Bill uavies arm varyi crupper, imvc makeshift rooms in the Industrial Arts Shop. Mr. Williams shop teacher, tea-cher, is in need of this space for his own classes. Administrative offices of-fices in both schools are inadequate; inade-quate; teachers have to shift from room to room to hold classes; rest room facilities in the junior high building are questionable; lockers in the junior high huilding and the hot lunch room facilities are deplorable. de-plorable. Lack of space prevents listing many more of the problems.

Blaine Peterson (D-Utah). Such legislation has passed the Senate on four occasions including the last session of Congress; but it has not reached a vote in the House, failing of approval in either ( tne Veterans Affairs Committee or the ruics Committee. Congressman Peterson said: "These veterans were offered Na tional Service Life Insurance when they entered the armed services, ! and j beiieve they are entitled to another chance to apply for it. "At the time they were separated separ-ated from the services, veterans had the option of keeping or canceling can-celing their insurance. Due to financial fi-nancial difficulties and unsettled personal situations, many withdrew from the program. Now they have family responsibilities and regret their earlier decision." The Congressman made it clear that the bill makes no new persons per-sons eligible for the insurance, nor does it increase the amount for which they were originally eligiDle. It provides another limited period of eligibility for those who originally origin-ally qualified and passed up the opportunity, or those who have permitted their policies to lapse. 7.500 Read It In The CHRONICLE PDo Stair u By Rep. LaMar Monroe Our legislature is fast approach- ing a moment of truth. Only a couple of weeks remain n which major decisions in spending and taxation must be made. So far the spending trend is far from clear. Some feel we can and should hold the line in spending and keep within our present rev- enue resources. While some others, with stars in their eyes, feel we should go all out for all our needs, . . . , 1 1; , tven 10 me extent 01 ooiiunig iu 23 million dollars. The democratic controlled House swept the Governor's education program aside and voted about 8.5 million increase instead of the 800,-000 800,-000 increase he proposed. If the Senate follows suit, other spending programs will follow. House pressures continue for more money for schools and other buildings, build-ings, for park acquisition and development, de-velopment, and for substantially higher operating budgest in several sev-eral departments. And still the fact remains: Any sizeable increase in spending must mean an increase in taxes somewhere along the line.

She was selected at a dance at the Armory in Fillmore, Saturday night, with attendants Barbara Crafts, Delta, and Connie Cropper, Hinckley. Miss Terry is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mont Cook, of Delta and is a senior at Delta High School. No Fun Involved There was no fun involved in an incident this week, when a small girl was hurt and frightened fright-ened and the car in which she was a passenger was damaged by the thoughtless act of some pranksters. The so-called pranksters threw a water balloon bal-loon at the car, hitting the windshield, which was shattered shatter-ed by the force of the blow, and a large hole was knocked out of the top of the glass. The child, in the front seat with her father, was showered about the face by splinters of glass. Real danger was narrowly averted, for which no credit goes to the youths whose mistaken idea of fun led them into such silly, selfish capers. They are paying the bills for the medical care necessary for the little girl and repair to the car, and are very lucky indeed that their "little joke" was not more costly. SINGING MOTHERS There will be no Singing Mothers' practice at 2 p.m., Sunday, members mem-bers are reminded.

The total program would cost the state and counties an additional ad-ditional 8.5 million. Comparing this program with the governor's, an additional 3 mills is needed for increase in populations and $800,000 increase for school aid. This would make a total of 8.9 mills state levy. In addition to a 23 mill lavy in the counties under both programs, a county leeway of 5 mills can be made on the local level for the proposed pro-posed program or an additional 2 mills under the Governor's program. pro-gram. In my figures, I have included in-cluded a 3 mill levy on the Governor's Gover-nor's program so we could better compare the two programs. This does not necessarily mean the cost of either program has to come from property taxes. But if no other means is provided, the law says the difference in cost has to be made up through a state levy. I wish to thank the superintendent superintend-ent and the school teachers for their help and understanding. I would like the people to know that they have not put pressure on me in any way. Their letters have been fair and I believe with no desire to have a program that we cannot can-not afford. Some hav; endorsed the Governor's recommendation. It is only human nature for us to improve im-prove our way of life and our needs in our professions. I do not believe the Senate will concur with the House bill, but will give some kind j of an increase over the Governor's recunuHeiiuaiiuiis. |
