The engineer had a choice of five prospective sites, on which . city officials previously had secured options. Arrangements are now being made to purchase the site and clear the deed. Mr. Sorenson said the site is the finest site for a disposal plant of any he has been concerned with in his engineering experience. Geographically and topographically, it is the best. The fall is ample from the city to the site, and also from the site down to Minnow Creek, where the outflow from the disposal plant will empty.

AU V Club o, Roar at Wattie Coming Events vv, Important Issues Discussed at Local Education Confab A report of the conclusions drawn by individuals attending last Thursday's Education Conference for Lehi, will be filed with the Alpine Board of Education, Chairman Gam Holbrook reports. Similar meetings have been held in all communities of the district in an effort to learn the thinking Three Council Seats to be Filled This Fall Interest in the forthcoming City Council election is being shown in the community this week as Democrats and Republicans begin plans for party nominating conventions. According to the law, the political parties must hold their nominating conventions not more than 30 days nor less than 15 days prior to the election. Since this year's election falls on November 8, the nominating conventions must be held sometime between October 8 and 22. Three offices are at stake in the election this year. The City Council seats now held by Hugh Otter-so- n and Lynn R. Webb must be filled, and in addition, voters must elect a third councilman to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of George Strasburg. The office of City Treasurer, previously an elective office, becomes appointive this year. The office of City Recorder is also appointive. As yet no candidates for the City Council seats have been announced. Mr. Webb and Mr. have not yet indicated whether or not they will seek reelection. Paul Willes, Lehi city Republican chairman, declared that his party is now seeking a date for the nominating convention, and he indicated that an announcement will be made within the next few days. Harvard R. Hinton, Democratic precinct chairman, has that things are also stirring in Democratic circles. At the present time the Democrats hold a preponderant majority in the city government, with Mayor Frank Sharp, Councilmen Rex Zimmerman, Harold West-rin- g and Incumbent Lynn R. Webb all members of that party. Hugh Otterson is the sole Republican member. The seat was held by George Strasburg, also ? Republican.

These reports will be presented at a state meeting to be held in October, and the state reports will be carried forward to a Whitehouse Conference on Education called by the Presi dent for November 28 in Washing ' ton D. C. Response to Lehi's meeting was light, but lively discussions were carried on in the departmental meeting. Reports given by spokes- men for the various groups at the ' concludng session were as follows: 1. What Should Our Schools Mrs. Ronald Price, Accomplish? read the following spokesman, statement: "As a group of citizens we feel that the schools should place emphasis on the following items: (a) Helping the student . obtain a goal and become a good citizen through correct guidance , and counseling so as to obtain the maximum joy of life, and (b) Specialized education along with the basic skills." 2. In What Ways Can We Organize Our Schools More Effici- Since ently and Economically? only two citizens showed sufficient interest in this problem to attend the departmental meeting, Chairman Holbrook concluded that Alpine District's schools apparent-- , ly are being operated efficiently and economically enough to satisr fy the taxpayers. 3. What are Our School Build ing rieeu5.r spoKesman Aan Mellor briefly reviewed the grow---th of this district's school population and the crowded conditions which have resulted from this growth. His departmental group . pnnrlnHprl that iha fnv ctmintnrA should be balanced so that revenues for building purposes are more equally shared by all. They also suggested that we should cut into state income and excise taxes for building purposes. The group also suggested that school officials explore the pos sibility of using buildings during the summer months for the younger children, and that build-- , ings be designed more efficiently without sacrificing the individual-t- y of the community. Teachers, architects and the general public, n in other words a of the people, should help in planning new buildings. The group's concluding thought was that only in case of emergency should local areas accept federal aid for education. 4. How Can We Get Enough Good Teachers And Keep Them?. Mrs. Lynn R. Webb, spokesman, pointed out that Utah needs 1000 new teachers per year, but is retaining only 400. We are keeping of the graduate only teachers we are training. Conclusions were (a) That the military fields are attracting many young men, and that the R. O. T.
