Show FRIDAY, MARCH LEHI FREE PRESS, LEHI, UTAH 3, 1950 BANNER YEAR EXPECTED FOR SUG. BEET GROWERS Wth western beet growers enthusiastically signing contracts for increased acreage in 1950, the ' beet sugar industry is entering what appears to be a banner year. Not for many years have growers expressed such willingness to increase their sugar beet acreage. From Calfornia comes a report that sugar refining plant capacity 200,000 acres 'will be reached for 1950. This is over 36 per cent increase from 1949 when California growers signed up for 147,000 acres. In 1948 these same growers signed for 172,000 acres. Plant capacity is reportedly reached in the Red River Valley region of North Dakota and Minnesota for 1950. How's This For Statistics? T. F. Kirkham in the course of searching through his father's records and other records found tve following data in a diary belonging to George Kirkham: The Bib'e contains 3,586,489 "otters. 773.692 Words, 31,173 Verses, 1,189 Chapters and 66 Books.

Ramsay, Superin tendent has been informed that approval has been given for the construction of a new building at the State Training School to care for small and helpless child ren. This building comes as a partial fulfillment of Dr. Ramsay's dreams and ambitions to provide adequate buildings for the care and proper segregation of the school's overcrowded population. This new building will have a capacity of 132 beds, and will cost approximately $250,000,00. For the past twelve years Dr. Ramsay has recommended to the Governing Board and the Legislature that several buildings be artA in rpllPVP t.H nvpr- crowded condition which has been continually getting worse. The majority of the children now cared for in the present custodial builidngs will be placed in this new small children's building, making the two existing custodial buldings available to be used for the segregation of children needing special attention, or who may be better cared for by being grouped with others more nearly of their own condition and abilities. The school receives the majordeity of its mentally-deficie- nt children and problem linquent through court order and, therefore, has no choice but to accept them. The school has been handicapped by not having enough buildings to properly segre gate these delinquent and problem cases from other children whose conditions are somewhat different. With the new building now in the blue-pristage, and with the! hope of other buildings in the future, will be possible to carry out a program of segregation, care and training that will mark the Utah institution as one of the out standing institutions of its kind in the nation. Utah was the third to the last State In the Nation to recognize its responsibility to ward the mentally deficient and to build an institution for their care. In spite of the fact that the Utah State Training School has been a going concern for less than a score of years, it is recog nized as one of the best institu tions for the mentally deficient in the United States. The scope of its training and academic program exceeds that of any in stitution in the entire west nt ant NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the City Council of Lehi City in the Memorial Building of said city March 6 at 7:30 p. m. at which time arguments will be heard for and against the propo sal to require barns or corrals to be located at least 200 feet from1 the boundaries of the cem etery. Details of the proposed change can be examined in the office of the City Recorder of Lehi until the date of the hearing. GEORGE W.
