LOOK BEFORE YOU SHOOT

gests that anyone running around the
Valley should be certain of the nat
ure of their target before shooting

Once more the clank of drills
makes music in the Community Center
where one .of Forrest Kelso’s crews
are plugging for water. Unfortun

Community Center has been a diffic
ult one. Increasing need for fire
nrotection and for a supply for the
new school building has made nec
essary the drilling of more wells.
PALMER DELEGATION LEAVES FOR
FAIRBANKS ICE CARNIVAL
On the morning of the fifth, a
fanfarronade of taxi herns blared a
carting salute as the cavalcade bore
hiss Palmer and her escorts toward
Katanuska to meet the northbound
train. Quite a number ©f Palmerians
went along. Virginia Borg takes witi
her the best wishes cf Palmer.
There are quite a bunch of optim
ists in the valley; we didn’t note
any ear-muffs amongst the dunnage,
even though they were headed for the
ICE CARNIVAL! -- but-then perhap s
this mild valley climate has spoiled
them.
