Fireworks Illegal
And Dangerous
In City Limits
Two juveniles were appre
hended last week for discharg
ing fire crackers, within city
limits. Palmer police reported.
Not only is it illegal to shoot
fireworks within the city, but
the firecrackers were being
thrown among a group of smal

injuring someone, the police
pointed out.
City ordinance prohibits the
discharging or the selling of
fire works within the city lim
its, Acting Police Chief Louis
Bencardino Jr. said. He urged
parents to cooperate, as the or

children especially from the
dangers of unsupervised play

The Fable
Thirty-seven per cent of the nation's influential citizens think
rural electrics are owned and operated by the government.
This misconception was revealed in a recent nation-wide
public opinion survey.
The Facts
Rural Electric systems are owned and operated by the people
♦hey serve. These local people elect directors who in turn
establish system policy and employ a manager to run the
electric system. In the last 26 years, nearly 1,000 rural
electric systems have borrowed necessary funds from the
Rural Electrification Administration But the government acts
only as a prudent banker, concerned with collecting principal
and interest payments, on schedule.

ARA Courses Aimed
To Fill Shortages
In Labor Market
Eighteen Ketchikan area
trainees who have completed a
sixteen-week general office
clerk course received gradua
tion certificates at exercises in
the Ketchikan Community Col
lege last week.
Governor William A. Egan
noted that the ceremony will
mark the completion of Alas
ka’s second training program—
and the first 16-week course—
under the Federal Area Re
development Act. An identical
course under way at Fairbanks
will conclude July 13. Last
week graduation ceremonies
were held at Anchorage for fif
teen clerk-stenographer train
es and a new course is schedul
ed to open for stenographer
training there later this month.
The eighteen graduates were
selected for the course after a
survey by the Alaska State
Employment Service in Ket
chikan indicated a need for ad
ditional qualified general of
fice clerks. The training in
volved use of office machines,
proficiency in typing and ele
mentary shorthand, plus gen
eral office skills.
A grant of $13,360 by the
U. S. Department of Labor
made possible subsistence pay
ments of $42 a week to each
trainee by the Employment Se
curity Division. An additional
contribution of $5,268 by the
Department of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare paid for the
cost of the teaching staff,
equipment and supplies.

world recognizes nothing else.
