Show THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1972 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1972 Proposition No. 4 Explained for Nov. 7 Voters posal, as well as the other three amendments which will be on the Nov. 7 ballot. Approval for the school amendment is con-tained in the Republican state platform, and favorable action by the Democratic Central Committee is expected prior to Nov. 7. Editor's Note: This is the 4th in a series of five articles deal-ing with the constitutional which will be on the ballot for Utah voters on Nov. 7. Proposition No. 3 deals with City School Systems as fol-lows: Shall Section 6 of Ar-ticle X of the State Constitu-tion be repealed, eliminating the mandatory requirement that cities of the first and sec-ond class have their own school district? At the present time, Article X, Section 6 of the Utah Con-stitution reads: "In cities of the first and second class the pub-lic school system shall be con-trolled by the Board of Edu-cation of such cities, separate and apart from the counties in which said cities are located." Cities of the first and sec-ond class which have their own school districts are Salt Lake City, Ogden, Murray, Lo-gan and Provo. The amendment fills two purposes. First, it would allow combination of a city school district with that of the coun-ty district if it were felt desir-able for economic or other rea-sons. Second, it would remove the requirements for cities to form separate school districts as they reach the population of a second class city. Because the proposed amendment would re-move an existing requirement, it would be permissive in its effect. This proposition was placed on the ballot by approval of the 1971 Utah Legislature and would make it possible for the school districts to consolidate for greater economy in admin-istrative costs. This proposal has been en-dorsed by the Board of Com-missioners of the Utah State Bar, the Salt Lake Area Cham-ber of Commerce, and Utahns for Effective Government. Both Governor Calvin L. Rampton and Republican gub-ernatorial candidate Nicholas Strike have endorsed the pro- - Lehi Giants, A.F. Colts Ahead in Little League Football Play No purchase is necessary. Vikings vs. A. F.

Vikings played their first game against one another. It was a good game from beginning to end. The Eagles drew first blood as they recovered a Viking fumble, deep in Viking terri-tory. Then promptly, they con-verted it to a score with Kent Prestwich packing the ball in for the T.D. The try for extra point failed, and they led 6-- Later in the first quarter, the Vikings Tom Strasburg romped in for their first score. The point after was good, and the Vikings took the lead 7-- That's the way the first half ended. In the third quarter Tom Strasburg intercepted an Eagle pass and ran it back 35 yards for the final score of the game The Vikings took a 13 to 6 vic-tory over the Eagles. Last Saturday the Steelers got untracked in the first half and ran up a 21-- 0 halftime score against the A.F. Bears. Dale Newman and Kelly. Duke played well for the Steelers both on offense and defense, as the Bears couldn't do any-thing against them. Dennis Varney also played well on de-fense. He was in on most of the tackles. In the second half the Steel-ers played their 8th graders most of the time. They were unable to score but allowed the Bears only 12 points. The Steel-ers won the game 21-1- The Vikings then took on the powerful A.F. Colts. It could have been a real good game but the Vikings were a little tight and made some cost-ly mistakes in the first half, and the half ended 32-- 6 for the Colts. In the second half the Vikings carried the battle to the Colts but were able only to get two touchdowns and a safety and the Colts took a 39-2- 2 victory. The undefeated Lehi Giants took a 21-- 2 win over the Eagles. The Giants have a real powerhouse this year with the whole starting offense from last year returning this year. The Eagles have a good team this year but have had some bad luck in games that could have gone either way. Future Games Tonight, Sept. 28: 6:15 p.m. Steelers vs. A. F. Redskins. 7:30 p.m. A.F.
