West County Kindergarten Set During Winter
At a May 27 board meeting the West County Board of Education approved starting a winter kindergarten program at Todd and Whiterocks elementary schools for the 1959 60 school year to aid Indian and non Indian students. The board also extended library services at Todd, planned new furniture for Todd and Whiterocks, and added three extra classrooms at Todd Elementary. The tentative 1959 60 budget was reviewed ahead of hearings on the 1950 58 and 1950 40 budgets. Uintah School District has hired 26 teachers, still needing nine more in elementary grades, English and Spanish, and music at Uintah and Uintah High. The board also planned to invest the Building Reserve fund in U S Treasury Bonds.

Wool prices to rise through August study says
The Utah Extension Service forecasts wool prices will climb through August 1959 as Utah woolgrowers rush to sell. Prices have risen 10 to 18 cents per pound over the past six weeks, with consignments offered from 48 to 68 cents. Market activity remains strong, though a late 1959 slump is considered unlikely. The Agent notes buyers anticipate continued demand and higher prices for shorn wool while producers seek cash quickly.
