Starting Salary Of Teachers To Be Raised The Alpine District Board of Education has voted to raise the salaries of starting teachers by $200 per year in an effort to at-tract replacements for the coming school year, Superintendent D. Ft. Mitchell reported Wednesday. This increase will bring the star-ting salary total to $2870, a figure closer to the starting salary offer-ed by Nebo district and other dis-ric- ts of the area, the superintend-ent declared. (Noic: Provo district starting salary is $2675; Nebo's is $2800.) "With the Pacific Coast states offering up to $700 per year more to teachers than the Utah schools, the problem of hiring new teachers and replacements is becoming more serious every year. It is only natural that most of the teachers will go where they can get the most money, and the result is that we just can't get the teachers we need," Mr. Mitchell stated. The Alpine district will need a great many new teachers next fall, and it is hoped that the salary increase will induce more of the young teachers just graduating from college to stay at home and teach rather than going to other states, the superintendent said. Rosalie Richards Awarded American Legion Oratory Medal For District Four gained her entry there from win-ning the contest held in the Pleas-ant Grove high school, speaking on this year's subject, "The Con-stitution of the United States of Last weekend Miss Rosalie Richards, representing the Pleas-ant Grove Post of the American Legion and the Pleasant Grove high school was presented with a medal as winner of the Amer-ican Legion District Four Orator-ical Contest. Miss Richards was the only contestant entered in the District Four Contest, and had j' ,- - - to MISS ROSALIE RICHARDS . . . wins oratorical contest America and What It Means to Me." Rosalie wil now compete in the Department of Utah, American Legion contest, against other en-tries throughout the state to de-termine the state winner in this yearly American Legion contest. The Pleasant Grove Review joins with her friends and schoolmates in wishing her success in this con-test. EaiMe Creek by K. B. Last weekend we journeyed ov-er to American Fork for what was supposed to be an Oratorical Con-test among senior high students of American Legion District Four. District Four extends from Nephi on the South to Lehi on the North. The area is the locale of some eleven community senior high schools. Representatives from each of these schools would have been -- ,; : j eligible to par-ticipate. When noses were counted howev-er, only one school out of the eleven had the interest or ambition to send a repres-entative. Miss Rosalie Rich-ards of Pleas-ant Grove High School was the only contestant. The subject of this year's or-ation was, "The Constitution of the United States of America and What It Means to Me." Unless some of the Posts in District Four fell down on the job, all of these eleven senior high schools had been invited to conduct contests in their respective schools, and to send their winners to the District Convention mentioned above. Legionaires from some of the Posts reported that school officials of their communities refused to permit the activity in their schools. The principal reason for the re- - fusal being that the teachers had insufficient time or energy to spon-sor the program. If the leaders of our youth have not the desire nor inclination to encourage and help our boys and girls to stand on their feet and publicly defend the principles of American democracy, it's about time that we our ed-ucational programs. No boy or girl can prepare and deliver an oration on such a sub-ject, without developing within himself or herself a deeper love for country and for the principles that have made America great. To deny a child this opportunity is a responsibility that any American would blush to assume. As stated above, some of the responsibility for this unhappy situation may rest with the offic-ials o! the local American Legion Posts in not selling the idea to school authorities. Whatever the cause, it should be corrected. The ever persistent and damnable propaganda of the Communists throughout our land can best be met with a program of vital Americanism. In what better way can we teach an intelligent love of democracy than by giving our boys and girls an opportunity to express this love and devotion in their own words and in their own way? So long 'til Friday. Former Resident Was Buried Here Bilcf but inspiring graveside services were conducted Monday afternoon in the Pleasant Grove City Cemetery for Kate T.

UP&L Officials Discuss Demands For Power Residents of Central Utah will continue to improve their mode of living in 1953 through the pur-chase of more and more labor-savin- g electrical devises for their homes. This was the statement made by W. A. Huckins, Salt Lake City, Business Development department manager for Utah Power and Light Co., at a meeting of Utah County electrical dealers this week in Springville, Utah. ' Mr. Huckins pointed out that his company, through its multi-millio- n dollar expansion program, has the electricity available to meet all foreseeable demands as the area contiues to develop indust-rially and agriculturally and as seek ways to live better. "The UP&L service area," he sad, "continues in its strides to-ward becoming industrialized, with a resultant influx of population. A healthy crop of new homes is anticipated; employment is high; wages are good; savings are at an e high level. So the market is waiting and the elecrical ap-pliances and equipment that it Wants are available." In discussing the area's indust-rial potential, the electric com-pany executive pointed to the pet-roleum, steel, ' manufacturing, atomic energy developments and phosphate and other chemical in-dustries which are moving in at a healthy rate. The intermountain territory, he asserted, is rich in nature's raw materials. Added to this is the availability of a depend-able labor supply, local and ad-jacent markets and cheap elec-tric power. "Here in Utah Valley area, con-siderable development is schedul-ed this year, especially in the steel producing and steel fabricating industries."

Faddis, the division Business De-velopment department manager. Miss Hansen cited the new free-dom from drudgery that electric service and electric appliances and equipment are bringing to the American family. "Electric servants give the aver-age housewife two full days each week of freedom from household chores," she said. "This is the gift of electrical living to the American housewife, and the cost of this freedom is measured in pennies." Mr. Holt called attention- to studies that show that prices of electric appliances and equipment have not risen as much as those of soft goods in recent years. Electricity today, he declared, act-ually costs the average home and farm owner less than it did ten year ago. He pointed out that electricity is more than ever becoming the farmer's best hired hand. "With electric power now avail-able to more than 98 per cent of the area's occupied farms, you can look to the farmer to put this force of work for him more and more. And that means sales of electric equipment." With the outlook for a continu-ation of sales at about the same rate as last year, he said, we can expect total sales of domestic and farm electrical merchandise of about $23 million this year in the UP&L service area. Of this about $3,220,000 worth of home and farm appliances will be sold in this Central Utah trading area. f Cooking School Is Sponsored By General Electric The General Electric Company is sponsoring a cooking and free-zing school at the Second ward L. D. S. meeting house on April 9th and 10th. The Relief Societies of Timpanogos Stake are encourag-ing their members to attend.' The ward having the largest at-tendance at the school, will receive a valuable gift, from the G. E. company.

Knowlton, Extension Entomologist, U. S. A. C. The alfalfa weevil is a serious pest in Utah practically every year. Damage was somewhat less seriou in 1952 than most seasons, due to the very rapid growth of the crop which occurred after the high spring water receded and permitted the crop to grow. How-ever, in 1951 the alfalfa weevil caused great damage in most areas where early spring control had been neglected. The new alfalfa weevil control program, developed by USDA entomologist F. V. Lieverman and associates at the Utah Agri-cultural Experiment Station, and entomologists working in Mon-tana and other western states, has proven that this pest can be con-trolled by destroying the overwint-ered adult weevils. Control, how-ever, must be accomplished before the female weevils lay many eggs. Otherwise the eggs will hatch and become worms to feed on alfalfa foliage during June and early July. A new insecticide called hepta-chlo- r will enter the alfalfa weevil control picture in Utah and much of the northwest this season. Research by entomologist Liber-ma- n and his associates at the Le gume Seed Research Laboratory showed this chemical during 1952, when applied at the rate of 4 oun-ces actual heptachelor per acre as a spray, to give control equal to any other insecticide tested for the early spring weevil control treatment. Ordinarily an insecti-cide is not recommended for con-trol use on the basis of one year's data, no matter how favorable. However, because extensive re-search in Montana, Colorado, and Idaho last season yielded control results almost identical with those secured in Utah, the Utah entom-ologists decided to place a tenta-tive recommendation for use of heptachlor for '53. The widespread geographical area of experimental test last season helped to quite an extent to prove its use under var-ied climatic conditions, such as might have been encountered in a single area through control tests made over several seasons. In 1952 great amounts of diel-dri-as well as chlordane, were sprayed on alfalfa in early spring. The result was excellent weevil control in practically all cases. Control chemicals were adequate in supply for all Utah needs in 1952. They should again be ade-quate to meet all 1953 weevil con- - trol needs. Possibly a little informaion on the seasonal history of the alfalfa weevil will help us to understand the control problem : Adult weevils emerge from cocoons in the fields from May to August. Most of the emerged weevils survive on through the next winter. Some fe-males deposit a few eggs in the fall. Many more eggs are laid during the following spring. At first eggs are laid only in small fragments of dead alfalfa and grass stems. However, after the spring alfalfa growth becomes 6 inches tall, more and more eggs are laid in growing alfalfa stems. Each female weevil deposits from 200 to 800 eggs. Only small num-bers of larvae hatch before May 1. Larvae become damagingly abundant during late May and early June. Each larva molts three times before spinning its netlike cocoon amung leaves on or near the surface of the ground. Pupat-ion occurs in this cocoon. When meeting with farmer groups to discuss alfalfa weevil control, I have often been asked: "Why spray when first growth is only one to two inches high? Why can't we spray later, say at four (Continued on page 2) Benefit Concert Scheduled For March 26 Advance ticket sales indicate a large .attendance at the benefit concert sponsored by the Commun-ity Presbyterian Church to be held in the Alpine Stake Tabernacle, March 26, beginning at 8 p.m. The well known Mendelssohn chorus of some 40 voices and Gerri Patton, dramatic soprano, will present an evening of outstanding musical entertainment. The concert proceeds are to be used to pur-chase a new piano of which the church is in need. In deference to the policy of the LDS stake offic-ials, no tickets will be sold at the door, says Aaron Hey, chairman of the concert. Tickets may be purchased from members of the general committee or other mem-bers of the Community Church. The chorus, orgp nixed some 30 years ago, has appeared in in-numerable concerts. The director is Elvis Terry and Eula Norton is the accompanist. Both are from Orem. LeGrande Anderson, Provo is president of the organization. The chorus will sing 0 numbers, of a classical, and patriotic nature. Soloists with the chorus are Eoyd Clark, Moroni Jensen, Harold Peterson, Aaron Hey and Reynold Heiner. Mrs. Patton will sing two groups of Negro spiritual songs. Ruth Narplvort, an outstanding pianist, will accompany her talented daughter. Featured on the program also will be a piano duet by Mrs. Nor-ton and her daughter Jaimee. The piano project was under-taken by the Adult Fellowship of the Community Presbyterian Church from which a committee was named. Mr. Hoy is program chairman, George Molascon. ticket chairman; Mrs. Richard Wilson, finance chairman and Ralph Sei-be- l, publicity chairman. |
