Arctic Flight
Problems Licked
The United States Air Force

lems of Arctic flight have been
ironed out, and the air arm of
the United States now can fly
anywhere in the polar regions
at any time.
USAF said the 46th Recon
naissance Squadron, based at
Ladd Field, carried on research
work in Arctic flying during
the past year. In that year planes
oi the group flew over the
geographic north pole more
than 100 times. The squadron
spent 5,000 hours in the air and
flew more than a million miles
to test men and equipment for
Arctic flying.

I All Vehicles
Must Stop
For School Bus
Territorial law requires that
any vehicle, either meeting or
driving in the same direction as
! a school bus, must stop when
the bus stops, patrolmen Wesley
Gilman warned this week. Fail
ure to observe this rule can re
sult in arrest, he continued.
Mr. Gilman said there had
been several complaints from
school bus drivers in the Palmer
area. Palmer buses are over
crowded, and with winter weath
er increasing driving hazards,
| every precaution must be taken
; to protect school children.
I Children often dart out from
j behind a bus, which they have
[ just left, without watching for
| oncoming traffic. Therefore cars
I travelling in either direction
' are required to halt until the
bus is again motion.
Diphtheria Case
Reported Nearby
One case of diphtheria has
been reported in the Palmer
area. The patient, an employe
of the Mabelle mine, has been
hospitalized at the 183rd Gen-'
eral Hospital at Fort Richard
son.
All other employes at the
mine have received nose and
throat cultures, according to
Mrs. Walter Zeile, public health
nurse. She said she believed,
since the case had been well
isolated at the mine, that there
is no real danger of further
cases.
She urged, however, that all
children who have not received
immunizations be given them at
once. These diphtheria shots
cause less serious reactions in
the young child and should be
given at an early age.
Letter Club
Is Formed
The Palmer Athletic Associa
tion, whose members are boys
and girls of Palmer-high school
who have won a letter in school
sports, has been organized. The
club is still on a tentative basis,
however, awaiting Student Coun
cil approval of its constitution.
Most of the present 16 mem
bers of the club have won their
letter in basketball, according
to club sponsor L. K. Gibson.
However, it is the objective of
the group to further all types of
athletic activity in Palmer high
school.
j Present officers in the Athle
tic Association are: Ray Puhl,
president: Georgia Small, vice
j president; Alice Bouwens, secre
tary.
