Every item of any size purchased from county businesses would mean a larger return in rev' enue back to the county through the Uniform Local and Use Tax. There could be no better way to improve Millard County than to spend every cent possible within her boundaries. ((((( ))))) SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM: The local school board has vot ed, albeit not unanimous, to file a letter of intent to commence a building program with the State Dept. of Education. In order for the district to be come eligible for state aid it must be shown that 20 of classroom space is, in fact, intolerable, the district must bond to its capacity and have on file with the State board a projected plan of building coverine a five year period. The next probable step will be, or has been, a determination by the local board as to these intoler able conditions (and those are plentiful) followed by approval of the State Building Board and Mate Dept. of Public Instruction. In Dec, 1962, we published Supt. Wright's monograph in its entirety. The following known building needs were listed as having been planned in the last bonding program, pro-gram, but not completed. (1) Enlargement and improvement of the DHS Lunch Center. (2) Construction of a farm shop at Millard High. (3) New structure to house Delta Junior High. (4) Extensive remodeling or replacement re-placement of Delta Sr. High. (5) Heat and Light Control at the Delta Elementary. (6) Facilities for Holden Elementary. Elemen-tary. (7) Provision for housing Meadow Elementary students. (8) Completion of elementary facility fa-cility at Kanosh. (9) Lunch facilities for Fillmore Elementary. (10) Construction of lunch facilities facili-ties at Leamington. (11) Construction of multi-purpose room at Sutherland. (12) New or remodeled facilities at Gandy. (13) New district administration offices. of-fices. (14) Construction of an East Millard Mil-lard school bus garage. Known needs not listed are numerous, num-erous, also. These include: (1) New furniture and fixtures for Millard High. (2) Rehabilitation and modernization moderniza-tion of Fillmore Elementary. (3) Rehabilitation of the Scipio building. (4) Modernization of the Oak City and Hinckley schools. (5) New roof for Delta Elementary. OUR DISTRICT HAS MANY NEEDS AND WE'RE CERTAINLY FAVORABLE FAVOR-ABLE TO BONDING TO THE MAXIMUM MAX-IMUM AND PILLING ALL THESE NEEDS IN ONE FELL SWOOP. (((U ))))) BONDING AND BUILDING: " In order to fill the above needs and to secure state aid in the district dist-rict building program the district would rave to be bonded to 12 mills on the assessed valuation of $13,500,000. over a 15-year period. In Supt. Wright's monograph he stated that the cost of new construction con-struction of a Delta High School would be an estimated $1,000,000. as compared to $849,000. to remodel remod-el and include a new commercial dept., counseling suite, little theatre the-atre and library, new gymnasium, and new auditorium. In the same monograph, Supt. Wright estimates that the cost of a new Delta Jr. High would cost $300,000. According to this the estimated est-imated cost of two new buildings for the west Millard Secondary Schools would be $1,300,000. Totaling To-taling the estimated cost of a new junior high building with the estimated esti-mated cost of remodeling the present pres-ent Delta High School with some new construction ($849,000.) we get $1,249,000. We darsay that if any architect were approached with the idea of drawing up plans for a new school plant to house both student bodies and asked to keep the figure within a close range of $1,000,000. he could do it. We would like to see this procedure proced-ure followed. ((((( ))))) COUNTY POPULATION: Population figures of the incorporated incorp-orated towns of Millard County for 1950 and 1960 are as follows: 1950 1960 Fillmore 1890 1602 Meadow 378 244 Kanosh 476 499 Holden 476 388 Scipio 491 328 Oak City . 334 312 Leamington 214 190 Lynndyl 241 145 Delta 1703 1576 Hinckley 589 397 Enrollments of the schools of the district for the past" two years are listed below: Enrollments at Beginning of School Year SCHOOL 1961-62 1962-63 Fillmore Elem. 338 315 Meadow Elem. 33 34 Kanosh Elem. 94 93 Holden Elem. 68 66 Scipio Elem. 66 40 Oak City Elem. 72 73 Leamington Elem. 68 57 Delta Ekm. 467 476 Hinckley Elem. 125 110 Sutherland Elem. ill 104 Garrison Elem. 11 14 Gandy Elem. 15 6 Eskdale Elem. 31 42 Millard High 200 231 Millard Jr. High 265 240 Delta High 299 321 Delta Jr. High 344 333 TOTALS 2607 255S (((( ))))) In 1959-1960 when Millard School Thursday, April 4, 1963 District began the full nine months kindergarten there was an enrollment enroll-ment of 220 pupils. The following two years showed a drop of 15 pu pils. This year there has been an even greater drop in kindergarten pupils districtwide. We dropped to 173. All these figures indicate to us several things of Importance to the county. A water conservancy district such as the proposed Sevier River Basin Conservancy District is of vital im portance to us all. More water in the county could mean more cultivated cul-tivated croplands and a plentitude of water could mean an added In centive t new industry to the coun ty. Water is our most basic need. The Rural Area Development program, pro-gram, along with the already established es-tablished Accelerated Public Works program, could help solve many of the problems in the county. It has been interesting to note that the RAD program has the endorsement of both Republicans and Democrats Demo-crats in the county. The group who is spearheading the drive towards the RAD program needs the complete com-plete cooperation of all county residents. res-idents. The school population figures in dicate to us that consolidation Is on its way UNLESS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO STABALIZE OUR POPULATION AND STRIVE FOR (INCREASING IT. As yet, the district is not being pressed to consolidate the complete district by the State Dept. of In struction, although it has received warning that state support on a special school basis will be withdrawn with-drawn from the Meadow Elementary Elemen-tary after the current school year. The school figures also indicate to us that a plan for a new building build-ing to house Delta Secondary Schools should be drawn with care. A big, outsize building is not needed need-ed nor would it be economically feasable. What is needed is a safe building with plenty of clossroom space and built in such a manner, that it could be added onto if the county should receive a sizable boost in her population. ((((( ))))) SUMMING UP AND ONE MORE SUGGESTION: We're striving to paint a true picture of conditions that now exist ex-ist within our county. We're optimistic opti-mistic enough to think it's not a gloomy picture, only one of concern. con-cern. Our final suggestion today is to us all. May we adopt a positive attitude in facing our common problems. Such an approach can not be too cautious but short of being speculative. HUP Schedules Annual Confab The National Society of the Daughters Dau-ghters of Utah Pioneers will hold their annual convention at the Hotel Ho-tel Utah April 6, 1963, commencing at 9:15 a.m. in the Lafayette Ballroom.

Participating in the meeting were officials of the Berkeley land bank and directors and managers of the six farmer-owned associations thru which Land Bank loans are made in Utah. Further improvement in the me thods of extending credit by the associations and the bank was the theme of the meeting. This was one of four regional meetings held by the Land Bank for its stock holders, the 46 land bank associations associa-tions located throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Wallace E. York, president of the Berkeley Land Bank, said that we should expect a greater need for long-term capital-improvement money. The need for more land, larger investment in buildings, e- quipment, and livestock are some of the things that contribute to the demand for more long-term money. He said that while the demand for loans continues strong, farmers and ranchers generally are meeting meet-ing their obligations promptly. . '62 Wool Payments Apply to Sales Before April Producers of wool and lambs have until the end of April to make application for Government incentive incen-tive payments on unshorn lambs and wool under the 1962 program. Payments to producers will follow the same pattern as in previous years, according to Gene A. Walker, Walk-er, chairman of the Millard County ASCS Committee. Mr. Walker also stated that an important change for the 1963 marketing year, that growers should remember is that it will be a nine (9) month one, extending ex-tending from April 1 to December 31. After 1963 the marketing year will be on a twelve (12) month basis. This change was recommended recommend-ed by the producers in order to better fit their operations. It is important that applications be submitted along with purchase receipts and etc. before April 31, in order that payment can be made. Scouters Attend Monthly Camp One of the important lessons Scouting teaches our young boys is to be resourceful. In fact, this is one of the things Lord Baden Powell had in mind when he organized or-ganized Scouting. It is for this same reason that the Camping and Activity Ac-tivity Committee of the Deseret District have set up a program wherein a camp is provided for Scouts each month of the year. To bring this about each Explorer Post is asked to be host to all Scouts of the District in an over night camp. Although each Explorer Post has one turn a year at this, the camps are for Scouts and not Explorers. Ex-plorers. Last February, the Delta First Ward Explorers sponsored a winter camp at Oak City Resort. At this camp the boys learned how to take care of themselves under ad- Mrs- Fullmeiv Continued, from, front page) failed..

Marion Killpack, like most of us, is a little bit unwilling to divulge his age but he's been barbering for many years in Delta and has cut many heads of hair. Several generations of the same families appear on the scene periodically to have their hair cut. Perhaps the best example of family generations! going to Marion for a cut or trim is the Maxfield family. Six generations genera-tions have gone to Marion. These are E. H. Maxfield, H. E. Maxfield, Clyde Maxfield, LaPreal Maxfield Mortensen, Carolyn Mortensen Warnlck and David Warnick. Just how old are you, Marion??? verse conditions. One of the many good things to be remembered a-bout a-bout this camp was the visit of the entire First Ward Bishopric. We would like to extend thanks to the Delta First Ward and their post advisor, Glen Jeffery, for the success suc-cess of this Scouting activity. Last weekend our second monthly month-ly camp was sponsored by the Oak City Explorer Post under the leadership lead-ership of Burnis Finlinson. Glen Christensen, Neighborhood Commissioner, Commis-sioner, also assisted. There were, besides the Oak City Explorers, 78 Scouts and 14 leaders in attendance. attend-ance. This camp was very well executed, execut-ed, beginning with the Counsel Program around the campfire Friday Fri-day evening and ending with the retiring of colors Saturday noon. This camp was keyed around President Kennedy's "Physical Fitness Fit-ness Program." This was an activity acti-vity wherein the Scouts enter into different events that determine his physical fitness ability and is scored accordingly. Six months later la-ter he will enter into another activity ac-tivity of this kind to determine whether or not he has improved physically during this time. In view of the fact that half of our boys do not come up to the minimum mini-mum standard of physical fitness it would appear that it is of great importance to have such activities CLASS CLASSIFIED RATES: 3c per word, ads, 75c column inch.
