E. Carlson, specialist in research and design of the State Dept. of Public Instruction surveyed survey-ed Delta High School building Tues day assisted by Mr. Alma Anderson, Millard Dist. Maintenance Dept. This is the second survey Mr. Carlson has made of the structure within a week. At his preliminary inspection of the building last week he expressed concern at the mortar sifting and falling from the bricks of the west wall of the gymnasium the apparent slope of the gymnasium gymnas-ium floor towards the wall and bulging of the wall itself. At that time, he recommended to Prin. C. L. Bennett that the use of the gymnasium gym-nasium be greatly curtailed until a more detailed survey could be made. Following Tuesday's inspection, Mr. Carlson found the west wall of the gymnasium varied V of an inch, the slope of the floor less than that and the movement, noted last week, negible. His inspection Tuesday revealed deterioration of the building but not to the point of immediate danger to the stu-dentbody, stu-dentbody, a fear felt by many school patrons and one he, himself, expressed last week. He explained that a slight tremor or any other unforeseeable circumstance -could change that as the building does Political Parties To Meet In S.L Saturday, Oct. 10 Millard County Democrats and Republicans will join statewide Democrats and Republicans in Salt Lake City Saturday, Oct. 10 for po litical rallys.

According to Mr. Carlson the new cracks found in Mr. Fay Jacobson's science room and which triggered this latest survey, can be corrected much in the same manner that the cracks in Mr. Glen Seegmiller's art room were corrected two or three years ago. Mr. Anderson concurred in this opinion. Tuesday Mr. Carlson said It s my personal opinion that the school district would be throwing money away to remodel this building. Money needed for proper mainten ance should be spent so that the building can continue to be used while a new one is being constructed. construct-ed. The building is not absolutely structurally sound and the board of education should replace is as soon as possible." Even though the building was found to be in somewhat better condition than Mr. Carlson had feared, he did not change his recommendations re-commendations regarding the use of the gymnasium. The gymnasium can be used for limited physical education classes but dancing is out. Th'.s is to avoid a large concentration con-centration of crowds, Mr. Carlson said. This is the second time that the gymnasium has been closed "to school dances within very recent years. The previous time followed Mr. Glen R. Swenson's report. Mr. Swenson is director of the Utah State Building Board. Mr. Carlson gave no indication to the Chronicle Tuesday when the gymnasium could be used again for dances or how it may be made safe for this particular school activity.

Arrangements will prob ably be made by the school board with the stake for continued use of the stake center for all school dances. High Councilman Eldon Eliason. in charge of church property ot Deseret Stake, Bishop tern Lovell and Stake President June Black point out that Deseret Stake Center is used by every Church auxiliary and orginilation and is usually used to capacity each week. In a jo'nt statement released Tuesday night they said "We are not planning curtailment of our stake activities or our programmed events even though this new need has arisen. When the building is available and needs Just'fy it. we will consider each request and try to give full and proper consideration considera-tion to each request. We recognize that our students are deserving of our greatest support and that this emergency is not a result of their own failings but rather perhaps the results of failings of their parents par-ents to plan and arrange for these longtime needs. The Palomar was leased to the school district on an emergency, basis more than 20 years ago for athletic events. These needs have increased and our Church program has been hampered hamper-ed and activities deleted for the benefit of the school district. We are in hopes that we will not be asked to make any longterm arrangements ar-rangements for use of the stake house for either athletic events or for social functions. But, we will cooperate whenever the circumstances circum-stances appear to justify that our students' advantages will not be neglected." 0 -By INEZ RIDING Are you one of those Democrats who are betting that I won't be voting for Calvin Rampton November Novem-ber Third for governor? If you don't ask me, how in the world will you ever know how I voted????? The other day I felt that I had just been read out of the Millard County Democratic Party by another anoth-er Democrat because I dared to criticise a Democratic candidate! By the time my fellow Democrat was finished with me, I was wishing wish-ing a lot of things. Mainly though, I was wishing that I stayed home all day sewing, ironing, mopping and waxing floors, watching television tele-vision and doing other sundry household chores!! WOE IS ME again. My mother, though, used to wonder why I was so full of questions....... So help me, I have "tagged after" the last engineer at Delta High School. Do you realize that Mr. A. E. Carlson is the fourth one and that I've "tagged after" everyone every-one of them? Believe me, I was greatly relieved Tuesday when he said, that although the building has structural defects, our students are in no immediate danger barring bar-ring an unforeseeable circumstance. This is more or less what Mr. Swen-sen Swen-sen (Glen R.) said two years ago. Now IH tell you what he (Mr. Carlson) said last week and that I was afraid to tell anyone and a-fraid a-fraid not to. He said that he would hate to have one of his children in that building. I was near enough to overhear him tell Dick Moody (Dick was present through the whole surrey Tuesday) that he wouldn't object to his child attending attend-ing school in the build-ng, even though it has some structural defects de-fects which will become more serious as time passes. My favorite 17-year-old Is in that building more than she is at home. Yep, I'm relieved. Mr. Carlson, by the way, resides in Orem and is bishop of the Orem 8th LDS Ward. I met a most delightful and interesting in-teresting group Saturday afternoon, friends of Dick Morrison's. They ' . .

Christensen of Moroni and a more twinkley-eyed and a sharp witted gentleman I've never met. It was a great day for me because I'm always interested in what he writes to the Forum and we've written letters to each other before. be-fore. He's a positive delight and one of those persons whom I always al-ways feel at home with because he states how he feels about any subject in no uncertain terms. Also, in the parly was Mrs. M. S. Smart of Salt Lake City. Mrs. Smart and I used to carry on a lively correspondence and we met in person per-son for the first time Saturday. She is a long-time fr'end of Versa Walch's and she, too, is most delightful de-lightful and entertaining. Once I sent a picture of Lynette to her. Others were LaPriel James and Jana Meeks, both of Salt Lake City and G. T. Harrison of Helper. Mr. Harrison has had several books published. Many persons in the area are familiar with his writings. They were at the house for approximately ap-proximately 30 minutes and we were all vying for attention!

DIAPER DOINGS Congratulations to Marven and Shirley Hunter, Hol- den, on the birth of a 7 lb. 13 oz, boy, Oct. 2nd.. , LETTERS ;0 THE EDITOR Dear Editor: As a citizen and taxpayer of Delta, I want to thank Mrs. Alta Ashby, Mrs. Delma Jean Galli and Mr. Jack Nelson for their splendid work and firmness in their responsible respon-sible positions as members of the Millard County School Board. It is extremely pleasing to me to learn that Mrs. Ashby and Mrs. Galli are willing to continue to serve the public, by accepting another an-other term to serve on the School Board. Now every voting taxpayer In Delta and Hinckley should vote solidly for them to show our support sup-port for these fine community spirited citizens. It is amazing to me, to see, what seems to be the utter abandon and irresponsibility with which certain citizens of East Millard County can calmly help to lose, perhaps thousands thous-ands of dollars of school funds for Millard County, in trying to block School Board actions. There are many counties in which two population centers exists one on the east and one on the west similar to the condition found in Millard County. Generally, where this condition exists there is a willingness will-ingness to divide some of the public facilities provided by public taxes. Among the public facilities found on the "East Side" are: The Millard County Court House, the Millard County Hospital, the Millard County Museum, Mu-seum, a safe modern high school, a modern gymnasium, Federal Bureau of Land Management Offices, Of-fices, Forest Ranger Offices, etc., etc. Now when the Millard County School Board decided that Delta should have safe high school facilities fa-cilities and a school superintendent's superintend-ent's office at Delta, some "East Side" citizens acted like the "Spoiled "Spoil-ed child, thrown into a bawling, kicking and head thumping tantrum, tant-rum, when mother took away the piece of candy". Our fine school board members needs our support Let's give them an overwhelming vote of confidence confi-dence and see this controversy thru to a finish. Let's vote solidly for Mrs. Ashby and Mrs. Galli. Frank Law DELTA 39 3ULLARD - 7 elude a band concert.

Seventeen placed in state tournament playoffs. Coach Porter terms this season's schedule a "tough" one that includes in-cludes Class A school meets.
