Show THE BOX NEWS, Brigham City, Utah Tuesday, March 26, 1963 ELDER On The School Finance Issue Much of the reverberation has died away from Utahs legislative show with Beehive lawmakers having successfully waded through a flood of controversial and financial thorny problems. Generally, appraisals of their efforts and results have been complimentary. However, one issue though resolved on the senate and house floors, remains in question, it beschool problem. ing the 1963-6After tossing the ball back and forth on this very knotfity problem, the legislators compromised at an annual than the more nance increase slightly governors proposal considerably less than recommended by CAPS (Cooperating Agencies for Public Schools.) NEVERTHELESS, THE $8.9 MILLION Increase which emerged from the Utah houses is the most generous boost in state history. Its approval must be marked as a credit on the legislatures report card. , Granted, the CAPS proposal never reached the floor of either house. But calling for an annual increase of roughly $14 million, there must be question in reasonable minds that Utah could afford it right now. SURE EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT, it always has been an emphatic segment of Utahs heritage and growth. The statistics prove this point. And the legislators acknowledged it by voting to spend an estimated $128,684,000 on public school education over the next biennium. They realized, as most everyone does, that teachers generally deserve higher pay, that our Utah schools need additional services and in some instances, relief of class overloads. BUT THEY ALSO WERE forced to grapple with myriad other matters demanding a take of Utahs annual revenue. Their views were spent on a number of problems while many educators were concerned with only one. Teachers, meeting in a special and closed session of (he Utah Education association, voter overwhelmingly to hold up contract negotiations until "the present financial impasse has been satisfactorily settled. THE POSITION HERE Is rather rebulous since It does not cite specific terms on which agreement must be reached. This is a compliment to the teachers who reportedly turned down a proposal to stay away from classes as a more dramatic demonstration of their feelings. Of course, this would have added up to nothing more than a strike and certainly would not have enhanced (he professions prestige. NOW LET US HOPE that UEA will accept the legisla- tures school finance package and not resort to a wholesale boycott against contract negotiation. Such a sustained position could only serve to damage teacher-publi- c relations, spawn ill will and create an uncomfortable situation for in- dividual teachers. It is our prediction that Utahs teachers are ubout such a development. Here in Box Elder district, the teachers collectively are considered a conservative arm of UEA and there is reason to believe they will accept the new school measure. FOR THEM AND other Utah educators, it means an average salary increase of several hundred dollars with Box Elder already ranking among the higher paying districts. Proponents of the CAPS bill pointed out that it not only contained provisions for salary increases (42 percent) but that a major share of the fund hike was earmarked for additional counselors, facilities, teachers, librarians, other special services and equipment. This, they say, would greatly uplight the quality of edu-- ' i cational benefits offered to Utah youngsters. No one will deny this. s , BOX ELDER PRESENTLY is In relatively healthy condition W'here these needs are concerned. Two weeks ago the School board attacked these areas head-o- n by authorizing additional counselors, librarians, remedial teachers, an additional speech clinician and a second home teacher for next year. It appears that our local district is moving in the right direction without a great deal of fanfare. In conclusion, it should be stated that while disputes of major and petty importance flare up from time to time in neighboring districts, Box Elder moves along in quiet efficiency. The people here support their schools and board relations have been bedded in cooperation. There is no logical reason to undermine this relationship now through or emotional charges at the school finance issue The clearest road to understanding is an AAodern Science Friends Honor BearRiver Lecture Slated Couple at 1963 5 last week.

Time for A Cleanup Some fighters never make the grade because they pull their punches dont hit hard enough. But one of the West's leading horticulturalists and landscape experts, Dr. Arvil Stark, didn't pull any verbal punches when he appeared in Brigham City, Thursday afternoon. e He called the area around Sait Lake City the worst area for highway litter, for ramshackled buildings and barns, for lots, for collapsing fences and for a multitude of other eyesores in the United States. What is the There First Security Banking SHOWING SLIDES, Including before, during and after of landscape improvement, he brought his point home vividly. The people of Utah can make our state a more attractive place with a little work. Theres no reason a general landscape improvement project cant be launched in Box Eider county this spring. iThere just isnt any excuse. Brigham City already has a community-wid- e spring T cleanup campaign with trucks sent around to pick up curb-- . side refuse, leaves, etc. But this year why not get more people out working, why not get all communities working together, why not make our county a more attractive $ f sequences place for others to see? THIS MEANS not only raking up dead leaves and limbs, but painting and repairing and tearing down, cart- ing away old car bodies and other odds and ends (junk) which litter our lots. If there ever was an inviting opening for service clubs to do a service, this one is it. Dr. Stark produced a picture of Brigham Citys south Main street and called it "the nicest street in Utah. One that everyone knows about. ' System? d TOURIST PASSING through this state get the Impression that people in Utah are a shiftless lot, he declared. He intimated that Box Elder county was no better in this respect than any place else in the Beehive state. i Thats the way Dr. Arvil Stark laid it on the line. Here on one stop of a state-wid- e tour to encourage land-- ' scape improvement, he both stimulated and amused the small group gathered to hear him in the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce room. BUT DONT kid yourself, Brigham City has Its share of eyesores... For proof, just hop in the car and take a drive around town and for additional evidence of Dr. Starks in- dictment, continue into the rural areas around Brigham City, count the number of broken down barns and buildings. Pointing out areas in which folks can improve is not always the most effective way to win friends and influence people. But like the good doctor said: I don't give a darn if you love me or not, if you clean up your place, fU Mill love you. vataccr lhoSc .ders 300-mil- weed-choke- stick-shif- t she 11 really jumpscats are red one-side- d open J 5 - (Continued from page one) e The First Security Banking system is a group of local banks operating in 63 communities throughout the Intermountain Region.
