A general feeling was held by the board that prices were too high for both projects, but they had no alternative since they couldnt afford such losses as the 20 percent rise in heating costs experienced last session at Sky View due to a leak in the system. C. Bryce Draper, superintendent of schools, noted there would be pressures for expansion of classroom space at Sky View in the next few years, and since the original specifications had been cui back, t.ne district would have to bar,: the cop. r.: in rrlrr to provide for the needed space.

April Franklin may well be called the "mother of the settlements as Franklin is Idahos oldest town as many of her pioneers and her sons' were toe first comers in settlements in all directions from Franklin. The limited facilities, such as the Packers Bridge, ho carry Franklin products to the mines and railroad camps, and the desire for "elbow room undoubtedly were motives which stimulated migration from Cache Valleys northern outpost in toe 1860s and 1870s. Franklin pioneers were among the first to settle in the area from Nashville to Oxford to the northwest and Maplcton to Riverdale to toe northeast. Idaho's oldest Franklin, town, was settled April 14, 1860 by Mormon pioneers. In years past the celebration of Idaho Days commemorating the settling of Franklin, Idahos oldest town, has been one of toe outstanding celebrations in Cache Valley. Through toe efforts of toe Franklin ward leaders and members, this years program has been planned for Saturday, June 26. It will start with a mens softoali game beginning at 5 p.m. A dutch oven supper will be served from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Franklin Lions Shelter.

Lewiston Ditches Get Fixed The farmers and irrigation companies in the Lewiston area have launched a very impressive project in renew routing and irrigation on six projects.
