SCHOOL CARNIVAL,
DANCE, EXPECTED
TO DRAW CROWD
Plans for the annual Palmer
School carnival and dance are
progressing rapidly, carnival
manager Joe Lentz said this
week.
A total of 23 varied concessions
have been arranged for the carni
val which will be held October
30, he said, with bigger and bet
ter prizes than ever before to be
offered. In addition to the old
favorites such as the fish pond,
ball throw, penny pitch and such,
Alaska’s favorite game will have
two sections, one for adults and
one for the youngsters.
Carnival will open at 7:30.
Ail concessions, including a
larger-than-ever lunch room, will
open at 7:30. Although the young
sters may wear costumes to the
carnival, because of limited space
there will be no judging and
therefor, no prizes this year.
Members of the Palmer-P-TA
will sponsor their annual “swap
booth” where anyone may take
their winter sports gear for sale.
This is the only time during the
year when such an opportunty to
sell out-grown sports equipment
is offered. At the same time, the
very size the youngsters (or
adults) are looking for may be
found there in the booth.
On Saturday night, October 31,
the annual carnival Halloween
dance will be held in the school
gym. Although an orchestra has
not yet been arranged for, danc
ing will start at 9:30 p.m. and
continue until 1:30 a.m., Lentz
said. The committee is attempt
ing to obtain the services of an
Anchorage orchestra.
Proceeds from both night’s ac
tivities will go into the student
activities general fund.
Serving on the committee with
Lentz are Paul Campbell and
David Ingalls.

STRANGE LIGHTS
MAY BE PLANES
The sighting of mysterious
lights again on Saturday morn
ing by the Harold Moline family,
following those seen by three
men on Thursday last week, in
all probability were those of
light planes flying in that vicinity
at the time.
One flier explained it this way.
He said that at that time of the
morning (around 7:30) the sun
shines down between the moun
tains from the Knik Glacier and
although it does not hit the
mountains, planes flying in the
region are hit by the sun and that
the resulting reflections are pro
bably what were sighted. Light
planes were flying the area on
both dates and at that time in the
morning.
