CONSTRUCTION ARCHITECTS Provo To Score Again r With July Fourth Program GOHTRAGTS Estimated Cost of New Chapel Set at $30,000 $1500.00 In Prizes, Including Plymouth Car, To Be Given Away IHIS WEEK By the time this is being read the probabilities are that President Roosevelt will have signed the InBill which terior Appropriation carries with it an appropriation of $300,000 00 for the begining of the Deer Creek Project. The House and the Senate got together last week afid compromised on the reclamation items in the bill. By this compromise the way was made smooth for the passage of the act, which in effect is a Congiessional authorization to proceed with the construction of these projects. Another (natter of importance is the authorization by acting Commissioner Page at Washington for the Bureau to submit to the Provo River Water Users Association the repayment contract for signature. The Association officials have received recently a letter to the effect that the contract will be in a few days for signature. It is expected before the end of the week that stockholders and directors of the Wetar Users Association will meet in formal session and authorize the president and to sign the contract secretary which provides for the building and purchase of the $7.600,00(1 00 Deer Creek Project. A few minor matters in the contract remain to be adjusted this week, Attorneys for the Metropolitan District, the Water Users Assoc States the United Reclamation Bureau fTSve been in constant session ironing out these remaining difficulties. It is expected the finishing touches will be put on the contract within the next two or three days. With these last obstacles removed, the project should be in the construction phase before snow flies this coming winter. Recent developments are the most cheering that have happened in many months and give definite promise that this much talked of project will be at last definitely under way. .Provo and its neighbor cities will celebrate the Fourth of July this year in a bigger way than ever before. For months committees have been planning and funds have been collecting until at this stage of the preparations all seems in perfect form. Thousands of people are going to participate in a thrilling festival of fun. At day break guns will fire a salute .and you will need to observe this alarm if you keep up with the days events which begin soon after. At 9.30 a.m. there will be a parade with floats representing popular patriotic songs. You can name their titles yourself now and fancy how they will be dramatized. And bands! There will be ten of them! It is fitting that the 38th Infantry Band of Fort Douglas should be the headliner. This group of musicians has built a splendid reputation for their organization and it is deserved. To hear it w:ll be worth a good deal to us. It presents a very fine spectacle too. Richfield Girl of spectacles: the Speaking Richfield girl's fife and drum corps will be "tops. If youve seen this drilled diessed and beautifully group you will need no second invitation to see them again in this Fourth of July parade. At 11 A. M. a patriotic open-ai- r meeting will be held in Pioneer Park. At this moment we cannot give you a complete program. We only know that there will be a speech made by a guest orator of renowned brilliance, speaking Colonel Carlos Badger, and musical numbers from the btst musicians. In the afternoon there will be a ball game and sports for the kid-d- r sub-mit- . The July Issue The Lincoln High Band has been very active since the closing of school. It has had several invitations which it has accepted with credit to itself. Twice it has played at Windsor ward programs. It has taken part in Pleasant Groves Strawberry Day parade, and has now accepted an invitation to take part in the Fourth of July parade in Provo. It will play a concert on the High School lawns Wednesday, July 1st, at 7:00. This will be an opportunity for people of this district to hear the bartd at its best and it will be a pleasure to enjoy it. The band also presents a very in its new pleasing appearance uniforms. Blue and gold, the school colors, are used and the design sports a cape. The organization offers a wonderful opportunity to its members. The training they get under Mr. Terry is expert. We suggest that we show our appreciation to the entire organization by doing what we can to encourage complete membership participation and by our hearing them whenever possible.

Matters of interest to tax payers and school patrons will be discussed and plans outlined for the comThis is an important ing year. meeting and more interest should be taken than is ordinarily the case. (Editorial) of the swimming pool project at the LinCompletion coln High School directs attention to the policy of cooperation pursued by the Board of Education of the Alpine School District with the various municipalities in northern Utah County. In order to have a W.P.A. project such as a swimming pool, or others of similar nature, it is necessary to have some public agency as sponsor. The Alpine School District generously agreed to allow the project to be built on school property and to become the active sponsor for the project, although it was not in a position to furnish cash to buy materials and had no particular need of it for school purposes. The Board has consistently followed the same policy in other sections of the district. At Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove and Alpine the high school grounds have become, or are becoming civic centers. 1 his is as it been too many duplications of tr. public buildings and grounds in the past by public taxing agencies. Very few communities in this state are wealthy enough to justify the creation and maintenance of public parks in addition to large and extensive beautification programs for school grounds. The sensible thing is to combine the efforts of the town and the School Board so that the school centers can be used not only for school purposes, but can be used during the year for public parks and civic centers. The Utah Statutes contemplate just such cooperation, for it is provided that the schools are to be civic centers to be used for educational, recreational and civic purposes. The School Board has the obligation under the law of5 carrying out this policy. In Lehi the schools happen to be located in almost the geographical centers of the towns. In American Fork the high school campus is located on a hill in the extreme northern part of the town, almost over the city limits. In Pleasant Grove the schools are located near the business center of town but in the extreme southwestern part, while in Orem, the Lincoln High School is towards the southern side of the town but centrally- enough located with good roads and modern transportation facilities to be available to the entire community. In American Fork the city authorities decided to move the ball, park which was on the south side of the town up to the high school campus and there cooperate with the school board in providing a beautiful recreational center. At the Lincoln High School campus, together with the Spencer School grounds and some L. D. S. Church property, the use of which has been donated for public purposes, a 12 acre park is available for use of the town as well as other residents of the Lincoln High School district. The School Board has put in sprinkling systems and has allowed the recreational organization to foster ball parks, grand stand, swimming pool, open air dance project and soft ball and volley ball courts.

However, the weather man is attempting to redeem himself with the last week of extremely warm weather. While the dressing rooms and some features connected with the pool are not completely finished, the management decided nevertheless to have a formal opening on Wednesday, June 24, and put the pool in use at once. This decision was no doubt prompted by the difficulties the projeef managers have .iad in keeping the youngsters out of the pool while they have been "i Building Committee is confident that the chapel will be ready for dedication, June , Razing of the old Vineyard chapel, preparatory to the erection of a new building will start Monday, June 29th.

The nephews were John Nelson, bishop of Mona ward, and P. W. Madsen of the Sharon Stake High Council. Each paid a glowing tribute to the worthy life of Bishop Johnson.

(Continued on page four) -- r, COHFERENCE IS Sharons quarterly conference which was scheduled for July 5th and 6th, has been postponed to sometime the latter part of August. The conference is to be featured by conventions for the two M. I. A. organizations of the stake and the stake Relief Society. This arrangement is in line with the Church policy to have auxiliary organizations hold their conventions at the same time quarterly conferences are held. It is uncertain at the present time just what date will be selected, but it is expected that it will be in the latter part of the month of August. Announcement will be made later of the exact date. Scera officers are happy to acknowledge receipt of a contribution o from the Sugar Company to aid in the construction of the new swimming pool. The Sugar Company furnished an iron gate which was large enough to cut in two parts and make two gates for the swimming pool fence. The Company also sent its check for $25 00, along with its best wishes for the success of the undertaking. Recreational officials are glad to acknowledge receipt of these contributions. Many thanks to the Sugar Company. ..... The building proper will consist of a chapel which is designed to seat 300 people, and an amusement hall with stage and other features necessary for dancing, operas and drama and basket ball. Eleven class rooms are provided for. Some of these rooms are so arranged that they can be opened up for a banquet hall. New Building on Old Site The building is to be constructed where the old chapel now stands and will face the east. The old amusement hall which has seen service for many years will not be wrecked, but will be retained in the hopes that it can be used for some of the ward activities or sold for commercial purposes later. It was thought that the salvage obtained from the building, if it were wrecked, would not be sufficient to justify tearing it down. Budget FTan ' .
