Dear Editor:
We all know that in young
^immunities there is the usual
amount of error in learning the
.accepted way through community
government, however, it would
appear that progress in accepted
jartd legal procedure in govern
ment is still somewhat desirable
to say the least.
I have in mind, for example,
tiit tefirtorial law requiring po
lice officers of cities to pass ex
aminations. This as far as I can
find out has not been accomplish
ed to date. The city council and
magistrate certainly must be
aware of this discrepancy, how
ever, no action has been taken
tc assure the citizens of this city1
that we have a well qualified,
.progressive Police Department. I
ntn a taxpayer of this commun
ity and I, for one, would like -to
rm the grades of any examina
tion given to police officers pub
lished in the local paper as it is
dune in many communities.
Further in the line of discrep
ancies 1 wonder if there isn't
•some law or regulation prohib
iting council members from re
ceiving salaries or accepting con
tracts from the city. I would like
the council to answer this through
it <• media of the press. Should
would seem consideration should
there be a territorial law it
!** given this matter. Should this
law cover the above situation
'wouldn’t it seem logical to as
sume the city may be vulnerable
it suit or embarrasement.
5 would like to know more of
the Feeling of others of the com
munity regarding this situation
i.uid stand ready to work for the
:4 interest of the community.
Sincerely,
JACK VAN OS

WORKSHOPS TO PUT
IMPORTANT ROLE
FOR HOMEMAKERS
I
Workshops will play an impor
tant role in the home demonstra- j
tion program for the coming
year, announced Vranees Hulbert, I
home demonstration agent. Spec- i
‘ial skills will be taught through
the workshop method.
Representatives from the vari
our homemaker clubs met at a
committee this past week and
outlined the coming year’s pro
gram. They suggested the fol
lowing workshops be considered:
Dressmaking and Tailoring, pri
marily the Bishop method; up
holstery, refinishing of furniture;
drapery making; hat making in
the spring and various crafts dur
ing the winter.
Homemakers will be sent
check-sheets in the near future to
indicate their interest in work
shops: From these results the
particular project, time and place
will be planned. “It would be
quite impossible,” said Mrs. Hul
bert, “to conduct workshops in all
the listed projects, so homemak
ers are asked to choose. If inter
est will warrant,” she continued,
“shops will be conducted in vari
ous area centers such as Wasilla,
Palmer, Sutton, etc.”
The first workshop of the year
will be the Christmas Workshop
October 29 at the United Protes
tant church basement in Palmer.
Beginning at 10 a.m. holiday
food ideas will be demonstrated.
The afternoon program will be
devoted to gift wrapping and
decoration ideas. Those attending
are asked to bring a sack lunch
for npon.
A Vote for James J. Hur
ley, one of the signers of
the State Constitution,
will give us fighting re

masterpiece of underpricing!

derbird V-8—at a price that puts automatic
driving within even one’s ear budget. It’s a sim
