Slated for the month of August, A unique Lehi girls of Mutual age will find a varied program featuring competitive sports, hiking, handicraft, cook outs and camp fire programs. Directors will be available through the courtesy of the General Board, National Parks Service and other local and state agencies. It is planned that a program of activity will be outlined to meet the interests of every girl of Mutual age, The new general outline that has met with overwhelming success throughout the church will be followed. Ward nights will be held Fridays and Saturdays during August with specific dates for the different wards to be announced later. The calendar for the girls' activity program is as follows: August 3 to 6, 1st year Bee Hives; August 10 to 13, 2nd year Bee Hives; August 17 to 20, 1st year MIA Maids; August 24 to 26, 2nd year MIA Maids; August 27 to 29, Junior Gleaners. All dates are inclusive. Expected in Alpine District Contracts were mailed out last Thursday to all teachers of the Alpine District, and are due 10 days from the time of mailing, according to officials of the school offices. School officials will not know just what the Alpine District's employment problem will be until all contracts have been returned, but the teacher shortage is expected to hit this district as it will other districts of the state. Last year the district had approximately 270 teachers under contract, and this number will be increased by about 10 this year to take care of increased enrollment throughout the district. Highest turnover of teachers is always in the elementary grades, with only a few high school teachers leaving their jobs. School officials said that the high school teachers tend to purchase their homes and stay within the district more than the elementary teachers who, in many cases, are recent college graduates. This year's contracts offer start ing salaries of $2870 per year, or $200 per year more than last year. All teachers have been offered the $200 per year flat increase, over the regular increase to which they are entitled under the sliding pay scale for years of teaching experience. The $2870 figure is for teachers with a bachelors degree. Those with masters degrees are entitled to a higher starting salary. School officials anticipate difficulty ... filling the teaching positions this year, primarily because Utah's best teachers are being lured- away to neighboring states by higher salary offers. - Ralph Roberts Gets Reserve Commission Demonstration Next Wednesday An irrigation demonstration will be held next Wednesday, July 15, beginning at 1:00 p. m., and continuing through the afternoon. All farmers and anyone interested is invited to attend. County Agent S. R. Boswell will be in charge, with J. Earl Smith and Gam of the Alpine Soil Conservation District. The demonstration will take place on the Robert Webb farm, just northwest of Saratoga. An irrigation stream from the Gardner-Saratoga branch of the Utah Lake Distribution Company, will be used. The demonstration will determine the consumptive use of water for alfalfa and other crops. It is being done for the purpose of acquainting farmers with the exact amount which may be measured in a certain size stream and the "duty" of the water in comparison with the land and crop conditions. Such a "trial" is for the purpose of making farmers "water conscious," especially in areas where the irrigation water is actually measured out to them. Official charts will be used in the trial. These have been compiled by irrigation and conservation experts, with natural conditions considered. Among those factors considered are field conditions, length of day, rainfall and Hol-bro- Lehi Guard Members of the Lehi Sgt.
