Glacier Refrigeration
Frank McKenzie, owner of the
Glacier Refrigeration Company,
announced this week that he has
turned his installation and re
pair work over to Bob Fancher’s

the Pullman Car Company as
well as the Northwestern Rail
road, where he was in charge of
the electrical refrigeration and
air conditioning of such well
known streamline trains as the
“Golden State Limited”, the
Rock Island “Rockets”, “Stream
liners City of San Francisco” and
“City of Los Angeles,” and
the ‘“Twentieth Century Limited.”
Fancher also has experience on
large commercial refrigeration
machines. The Fanchers have
been in Alaska since 1942.

THAT’S GOOD FOOTBALL
The Game was being played in the PALMER BOWL—yes, the GREEN
HORNETS vs RED VIPERS. The crowd was roaring. The GREEN SHIRTS
were a little heavier and strong on the line play, while the RED
BRITCHES were lighter and could use the "Sneakers" to advantage.
Time was running out, and neither side had scored with only 4
months and 20 days of playing time left. FALK tries a pass for an
over-all gain of 100 dollars. The two teams lined up—Hollembaek call
ing the signals—Hollembaek takes the ball—hands the ball to tail
back Brooks who swings around left end behind the fine blocking of
three other John Deere combine users for a touch down and a victory
giving JOHN DEERE the championship of QUALITY FARM MACHINERY.
The star of the game was that outstanding field general, "BARNEY '
HOLLEMBAEK calling the right signals all the way through. And HOLL
EMBAEK is going to have plenty of time to do YOUR custom combining
this year with that JOHN DEERE 55 SELF-PROPELLED combine he is get
ting in. — ROOTING SECTION??? —Why, they are all over the Valley

NOTES
By H. P. Pillsbury
, For you plant lovers who have
had trouble propagating your
favorite flowers, vines, shrubs
and even trees the following
suggestions will help.
Take a deep dish (4 inches)
and put about one inch of gravel
in the bottom. Add about two
inches of sand over the gravel
and approximately f inch of
water. This will make the water
level nearly at the sand line. If
sand and gravel are not readily
available, expanded mica may be
purchased in most hardware stor
es. This may be used in place
of both sand and gravel, or mill
ed sphagnum moss may also be
used.
From the plant you wish to
propagate cut off four to six in
ches of good healthy tip growth
from an area that will not de
form the parent stock. It should
be cut just below a node or joint.
Remove leaves on the lower two
inches of cutting. Treating the
stem of hard to propagate spec
ies with a hormone rooting ma
terial may help but this is not
absolutely necessary Wounding
the bark on tree and shrub cut
tings will often speed root for
mation. Many plants can be read
ily started from a single leaf, for
example, the African violet. This
is often advisable because it does
not disfigure the parent stock.
Wet the prepared cutting thor
oughly by dipping. Stick them
upright into the sand about two
inches deep and the same dis
tance apart. After you have all1
the cuttings you want to root in
the pan take two pieces of wire
and make arches slightly higher
than the height of the tallest
cutting. <
Place the whole pan into a
large, clear plastic bag. Arrange
the wire arches so that the bag
is held above the new cuttings.
Now completely close the plastic
bag around the whole propagat
ing unit with a rubber band.
High humidity will build up in
side the bag and you have an
ideal minature propagating cham
ber.
mace me cnamoer in a win
dow but not in direct sunlight.
A north window is excellent for
this. Keep the temperature be
tween 50 and 70 degrees F for
best results. Extremes in either
direction will reduce your suc
cess. Check the moisture every
10 days. The progagating medium
should be moist but the lower
end of the cuttings should not
stand continuously in water.
Start off with some of the
easy to root house plants like
Coleus, geranium, spiderwort,
wandering Jew of Sanseveria.
Do not be discouraged. Many re
quire several weeks. It may take
up to two months for some cut
tings to root. If the cutting is
still turgid it is probably alive.
Follow these suggestions and
you will find that even the most
difficult plants can be rooted.

ALL-GIRL CAST
TO PRESENT
JUNIOR PLAY
An all-girl cast will present
this year’s PHS Junior play—and
it looks like the audience will
have as much fun viewing it as
the gals are having rehearsing for
it. The play will be presented Fri
day, March 14, at the Central
school gym.
The play, “The Clue of the
Red Ribbon”, is a make-believe
mystery that turns into a real
one when the girls spend a holi
day on the lake. Their plans
change as a result of “Janet”
getting a bit snooty about her
country cousins, without ever
having seen them.
The presentation is being direc
ted by Elizabeth Gaines, high
school English instructor, and
Sandra Driggars, student director.
Appearing in the play will be
Pat Schaefer as Janet, the hos
tess; Ida Hoskins, as Carol, her
best friend; Faye Persinger will
portray Sissie, who lisps; Roberta
Uzelac will take the part of
Marybeth, who is very much
afraid of bugs; Evelyn Cook will
play Angie; Glennie Combs the
role of Jerry, the athlete; the
country cousins will be played
by Pat Black and Audrey Dinkle
and Joan Hurley will have the
role of Miss Summers.
Tickets are now on sale. The
play will be presented at 8 p.m.
March 14 for the general public.
A matinee showing is planned
for students of the elimentary
schools on Thursday afternoon
March 13, at Central School.
For an entertaining evening,
the public is invited to attend
“The Clue of the Red Ribbon.”
