Elementary students are closer clos-er to their parents in the event of illness or an emergency. 3. Increased transportation is not necessary. 4. Capital outlay for new elementary ele-mentary facilities is below that required for Plan III or Plan IV. 5. Schools are moie conveniently located for parent vijits and for parent-teacher conferences. 6. Classroom enrollments in general gen-eral are small. DISADVANTAGES: 1. Construction of a new building at Holden and improvement of other schools except those at Delta and Fillmore, would in the main, be a waste of public pub-lic funds, if in the near future, it is necessary to close these schools because of decreased enrollments and because state financial support on a special school basis Is withdrawn.

As for the construction, one of the biggest projects of the year was the 4.2 miles of new road in Big Cottonwood Canyon leading to Brighton and Solitude ski areas. The new section of road has eliminated elimi-nated many dangerous curves and has skirted away from several potential po-tential avalanche areas. And once tourists drive over the new road they will find more new developments in Big Cottonwood Canyon. A new 50 meter jump has been completed at Solitude Ski Area which will host the big National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ski championships March 21 to 24. In addition, a restaurant at Soil tude's base and a Roundhouse res taurant three-fourths of the way up the hill also are open for business for the first time this season. Further up the canyon skiers are finding more new developments. At Brighton the newly completed Mt. Majestic Motor Lodge has ad ded lodging for 75 persons. Meanwhile, at Little Cottonwood Canyon at Alta, the biggest improvement im-provement is a new double chair lift, east of the Landes Memorial Jump. This $200,000 fac lity has Alta.

School lunch facilities are not provided under this program for many of our elementary students. PLAN II The Present Organizational Pattern of the Schools Is Maintained.

With the new lift luring more skiers to Alta, the parking lot has been extended further up into Al bion Basin to make room for addi tional cars. Also at Alta, the Rustler Lodge has added a new wing of modern rooms to help ease the squeeze. Another Alta facility is a ski shop shelter, warm ng hut, ski patrol room and some overnight facilities which will be located at the bot torn of the Collins Lift. The state's other ski areas also have Improved facilities and gen erally overhauled lifts and tows. Utah's 14 major developed ski areas with 39 lifts and tows offer winter-long skiing for experts and beginners alike.

Waste disposal problems have been solved in many areas of the state, but there are still some 40 communities, including Delta, which need either new or additional addition-al treatment facilities. Since the creation of the Utah Water Pollution Control Board in 1953 it has urged voluntary action on the part of municipal officials to meet the requirements of Utah law by establishing proper sewage disposal methods. In only one area of the state has the Board felt compelled to Issue legal clean-up orders to date. This record of accomplishment Is not disappointing but the fact must be faced that communities which haven't solved their problem after being aware of the necessity for improvement during the past nine years have an obligation to move immediately into action. The Board urges Delta City of ficials to act without delay In se lecting a competent engineer to advise the city on sewage treatment treat-ment needs and to proceed with design adequate facilities. The Utah Water Pollution Control Board is under the Utah Depart ment of Health. "MYSTERY" Clues leading to the identity of a well-known Deltan are Included In-cluded in this week's advertising.
