on both sides of the building,
will provide a long sought safe
' iy factor in the building. In ad
dition there v/i'l still be the two
*double-door exits out of the side
•of the gym.
The gym floor will be sanded
down and new striping applied
to conform with the new basket
ball regulations put in effect this
;year. Flooring on the stage will
be of the same type used on
tike gym floor. Tile will cover
the floors in the band and stor
age rooms and the concrete
floors in the shower and locker
rooms will be painted. The new

sulated.
Used in some of the work was
material salvaged from the old
building at Eska. Some of the
plumbing and many of the beams
were used, as well as shiplap,
-Smith said.
The entire gymnasium is being
rewired, Sandvik pointed out.
The work is being done by Ben

Prior to the work on the gym
two engineers and an architect
were hired to test the gymnasium
'structure. They reported that the
tructure is as strong now as any
,'ther similar building. They
pointed out that 16 in. by 16 in.

construction — “something you

MEA—
(Continued from page 1)
| drawal. Part of the resolution
j follows:
“The board of directors of
MEA, after careful consideration,
has concluded that the best in
terests of MEA will not be serv
ed by continuation in the Central
Alaska Power Association . . .
it has been concluded further
' that MEA is not in a financial
position to contribute to the fin
ancing of projects of the scope
currently being considered by j
CAPA, e.g. the Woods Canyon
project which calls for an ex
penditure of $595,000 merely to
investigate the feasibility of the
project . . . this board is concern
ed about previous expenditure of i
$40,000 of MEA funds by CAPA,!
for which an accounting has
never been made ... it is the op
inion of this board that in no
event should MEA remain a
member of CAPA or any other
such organization unless the
question is first put to the mem
bership and approved by them.
Blood Bank Needed
At Valley Hospital
The Valley Hospital is in need
of a new “living-walking-blood
bank", it was announced this
week. The present blood-type
record at the hospital is seven
years old, it stated, and so few
qualified donors are available
chat when an emergency arises
there are only a few residents
available to give their blood.
These few are doing more than j
iheir share, it was pointed out.
Members of the Hospital Aux
iliary are taking this as a pro
ject, Mrs. Frank Clark said this
week. With the cooperation of
Hospital personnel a blood type
program will be held at the hos
pital November -16 and those
willing to otter their blood in an
emergency will be asked to put
heir names on file.
The Auxiliary feels that there
are many persons living in and
near Palmer who could and
would be willing to donate blood
in an emergency. However, at the
present time there is no up to
date record of these persons and
their blood type.
The hospital has set NOVEM
BER 16 as a date for typing and
recording a new list of blood don
ors. The time will be from 1:00
to 9:00 p.m. at the hospitaf. The
age limit for blood donors is j
from 18 to 60 years of age. Those
already on the hospital list
should get in touch with the hos
pital and state whether or not
they wish to remain on the list
and whether or not they are
available as a donor.
Members of the Hospital Aux
iliary will assist the laboratory
technician in recording work in
the hospital lobby on that date.
Persons who .already have blood
type cards are requested to
please take them so they may be
copied. Those who do not have
their cards will be re-typed for
the records.
iuemuers oi uie ranner iwuust1
lodge who have already register
ed with their organization need
not be registered at the hospital
as the lodge has already turned
in their records.
It was pointed out that often
donors are needed during the !
night when it is more difficult :
to contact them. Those having 1
telephones are especially re
quested to register if they are ,
willing to become donors. Mrs. 1
Clark pointed out that knowing
one’s blood type is not only im
portant to the person to whom
they might some day donate, but
to the individual himself. In case
of an emergency it would pre
vent a delay while his blood was
being tested, if his type was
already on record at the hospital.
All area residents are urged to
get their blood typed on Novem
ber 16. Those already typed are
asked to register on that date
and those who have lost or mis
placed their cards may be re
typed, also on November 16. All
work and time on the project is
being donated by the hospital
and volunteers.
