OFFER FINAL FLING
TO SQUARE DANCERS
Tomorrow night, September
28, is the regular dance night of
the Palmer Square Dance Club
at Carpenters’ hall. Dancing be
gins at 8:30 p.m.
Members, and all others inter
ested in square dancing, or learn
ing to square dance, are urged
to be there, as it will be decided
at this meeting whether or not
the club will continue, it was
announced this week.
At the past two dances there
were not enough dancers present
to pay the hall expenses and un
less there is a good turnout this
time, it will be the last dance,
a member stated.
The club has been active in the
valley for a number of years and
at one time or another a large
percentage of local dancers have
attended. For the newcomers to
the valley, and for the teen
agers. a special invitation has
been extended to “come by your
self— bring your wife or best girl
—get the neighbors and make up
a carload—but come and enjov
an evening of square dancing. If
you don’t know how, we’ll be
happy to show you.”
To pay hall expenses the club
serves refreshments during the
evening and the men usually
throw' in 50 cents when the hat
is passed. That’s all it costs to
belong to the square dance
group. A secretary-treasurer
handles the finances and every
one has a wonderful time. “So i
come on out, you experienced |
and not-so-experienced square
dancers, and let’s keep the club
going so we can have some fun
this winter,” members urge.

BULLETIN AVAILABLE
ON PREVENTING WIND
DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS
Farmers in wMndy sections of
Alaska can construct their build
ings to ease or prevent wind
damage, Arthur S. Buswell, Ex
tension Service associate direc
tor, said today.
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture engineers recommend that
foundations should be heavy
enough and deep enough to re
sist over-turning and lifting, with
superstructure anchored secure
ly to the foundation. All joints
between framing members
should be strong enough to re
sist horizontal forces and uplift; j
all w'all should be braced to re- j
sist horizontal pressure and sue-.)
tion. Locate buildings so they j
will be protected from winds by
hills or windbreaks such as trees. ;
Good materials and good work- ;
manship are essential, the engin
eers said. Results of their re- i
search is compiled in a new
agricultural information bulletin
No. 144. “Preventing Storm Wind i
Damage to Farm Buildings", i
