Ising Up In Air
. As Heifers Hie
To Wasilla Woods
It’s illegal to hunt or spot wild
animals from an airplane. The
new game laws this year say so,
Therefore it’s quite probable
that Bill Ising and Merle And
erson of the Valley were break
ing the law last week. Or their
intentions were good, at least.
The animals they were hunting
proved so wild that even the
airplane didn’t help much.
Object of the aerial search
was four heifers from the Ising
herd. The animals walked
through the fence around the
Ising pasture and set off to in
vestigate Wasilla. Mr. Ising or
ganized the neighborhood and
followed in hot pursuit.
When foot transportation
failed, Mr. Ising called in an
airplane to help him in his fall
roundup.
It is reported that Mr. Ising
is now preparing to organize his
neighborhood for study in a new
research project entitled “How
to Keep Your Cow Contented,”
or “Home Pastures Can Be
Greener.”

School Census
To Be Taken
School census forms were
sent out from the office of Palm
er school this week, it was an
nounced today by Carl Snelling,
superintendent of schools. The
information' requested on these
blanks is required by law, in
order that an accurate survey
of school population may be
made.
The territorial law states that
the census must be taken an
nually by local boards of educa
tion before the end of October.
A report from the local super
intendent of schools must be in
Juneau before the month’s end. i
Palmer census blanks were
sent home with children now
attending schools. The parents
or guardians must answer all
questions on the blank. All chil
dren in the family (whether liv
ing at home or not) between the
ages of 5 and 21 years must be
reported on the census blank.
The census form asks that the
name and sex of the child be
listed, the day, month and year
of birth, and present age in years.
Mr. Snelling requested that
any Valley parents whose neigh
bors have no children in school, *
but who will enter a child in
school next term, inform him of
that fact. Census information
for the neighbor’s child may be
written at the bottom of the
census blank. Children are con
sidered of school age if they are
six years old before Nov. 1.
Mr. Snelling said it was very
important that these blanks be
’returned to school as promptly
as possible. The information con
tained in them is essential to
the office of the Territorial Com
missioner of Education.
Spare That Thumb,
That Bus Is Full
Don’t thumb a ride to town on
that Palmer school bus — it’s
overcrowded now.
That’s the plea of heads of
the Palmer school. They warn
that only in cases of extreme
emergency must parents ask for
rides on the school bus. It’s not
that anyone wants to be mean
about it—those buses just can’t
hald any more passengers.
The territorial commissioner
of education is sorry, the local
board of education is sorry, and

821 Fourth Are.
Anchorage. Alaska
the school superintendent and
his fellow school officials are
sorry, but they’re all agin It.
They say there’s not a bus in
the school transportation system
that isn’t overcrowded. They give
as their supreme example, one
instance of a bus of 50-student
rapacity which is providing a
ride for more than 80 pupils.
However none of the powers
:hat-be want to be old meanies
vith an absolute “no.” They say
that in case of extreme emer
gency, “when the human factor
must be considered,” a ride will
not be frowned upon.
Mrs. Edith Swan, now living
on Harvester island near Kodiak,
is visiting relatives in the Vaney
this week. Mrs. Swan was called
to Anchorage for jury duty, and
took time off to renew acquain
tances ' with former Valley
friends.
