Show I yO CLAUDE'S ommsmiA oy Claude Oitonv As we go over the list of school fees required to en-'-'-ter into school this year"; we again state that our great free system of education is going down the drain. If you -have a student in the Junior class: He must pay $10 book rental, a $12 student body fee, $22 to begin with. Then if he . takes PE, that's another $1, Chemistry lab fee is $2; biology bio-logy lab fee, $1; Humanities, $1; Scholastic, $1-75. Then if. you buy a yearbook, that is $5. If you rent a musical instrument it is another $5.' Then if you have insurance as' ' is available it can be from $6 1 to $12. What if you had several sev-eral students to. put into high ' school; wonder if they have a finance department or a' loan agency? And with the opening day. ( . of classwork at the local high school comes the first football ; game of 'the season. Wonder how Coach Olsen and his Rams will fare this year as. , they travel to Milford for the first game? That remains to be determined as little is , known of the strength of sevr ,. eral of the teams in our divi-. , . sion of play- But if you want to know who is going to win the division again, all you have to do is ask someone in Beaver. He will tell you. I happened to be at the ' new Phillips 66 Station at the north interchange on 1-15 on ; Saturday, and asked the at- tendant there, Mr. Fails how 1 the Beaver team will be. His answer was, "they lost a lot, the replacements may not be up to par; they will be down' ' a little, but, they will not lose any games." It might be the ' wise thing to go along with Mr. Fails' thinking. ; ' ' I visited the new Parowan City culinary water well last' week and there is now more' 1 water going down alongside . the storage tank than there is going into it, the way it looked. If that is not right .';. there as sure a lot going into '. the tank. Now, it looks like ' the provision of additional storage capacity is really the , next thing for our city offi- cials to provide. And it looks '. as if it would take a rather large capacity reservoir to hold the water available, and . tlie supply looks as if it will . take care of our needs for several years in the future. Sure is nice to have a mayor ' who can operate a "witching ' stick' like Mayor Gurr. Get- ting a well that size within,. '. a few hundred feet of the present storage tank is really something. I wonder if they have a witching stick that would find Parowan city an additional and dependable supply of electric power? We would be sitting pretty How about it Kendall. Again we" 'wonder if "the pipe leading from the well to the storage tank goes through the city chlorinating system? I'll bet they forgot all about that part of it. But laying all joking aside, I feel that this has been a rather good year for accomplishment accomp-lishment by our city officials. I feel they have done pretty good for a small city in one short season. And we we have more to come. We have a new curb and gutter on both sides of Center Street from Main Street east for three blocks; That street has been brought to a dustless standard highway' high-way' 66 feet wide, laid by the State Highway Department, to go with the Curb and Gutter. And now the move is under way to install a lighting system sys-tem along that street, out east maybe as far as the swimming swim-ming pool, the mayor Intimates Inti-mates to, maybe not immediately, immed-iately, but, in the near future. fu-ture. We now have a 4200-plus oiled runway at the airport, 60 feet wide, with an oiled apron ap-ron in front of the hangar. This was brought to us by the cooperative efforts of Taro-wan Taro-wan City, Iron County and the State of Utah aeronautics board. Coming is .several blocks of new oiled streets In those parts of the city where the council felt they were needed need-ed most, and then a promise from the city that it will finish the Center Street curb and gutter project by rounding out the intersections and oiling oil-ing those areas. I feel we have done and are doing pretty well this summer.
