For modern, more efficient dairying, electricity
is a necessity.
For example in the barn electric lights make
cleanliness easier; electric milking equipment
saves time and money.

The University of Alaska will formally dedicate Wickersham Hall, new $910,000 residence hall
for women on January 12. Dr. Robert R. Wiegman, vice president, invites Alaskans to attend
the event. The hall will be named after the late Judge James A. Wickersham and his

Congress the bill to establish The Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines which
opened its doors in 1922 and became the University of Alaska in 1935. An open house will
follow the dedication ceremonies which will start in the hall at 1 p.m. Mrs. Ruth Allman of
Juneau, niece of Judge Wickersham, will unveil a large bronze plaque of the Judge and
Mrs. Wickersham.
No Cows!
I am old
as Father Time
Yet I feel young
When e’er I find
Rhymes with meter
Not one flaw
Obeying all
Poetic law!
Not too old
To have my fun
Today I’m even
Sixty-one!
Too old fo wear out
Running shoes
But young enough
To woo the muse.
So the old man
With the sickle
Reaps the peaches
Reaps the pickles
Happy Birthday
Nonnie Dear —
If you’re having one
This year.
