Busy, Active Year
The 1952-53 Palmer P-TA pro
gram drew to a close on May 5,
when members of the executive
committee turned over records
and materials to the new com
mittee. The outgoing committee
extended their thanks to all who
participated in the association’s
activities the past year.
Membership during the past
year totaled 282, with a 100 per
cent teacher enrollment. The De
cember meeting saw the highest
number of pupils represented
when 197 persons plus several
children, attended. Poor road con
dition and conflicting meetings
kept the April attendance at a
low of 44.
At this meeting. Sergeant Stan
ley Laird of the Alaska Highway
Patrol presented interesting data
on local motor accidents, their
causes and total losses involved.
He pointed out that bicycles
are considered vehicles in this;
area and must keep to the right
at all times, riding single file
while on public highways and
streets. Lights and tail reflectors
are essential for night riding. It
is up to the parents to instruct the
young people on safe riding of
bicycles, he said.
Speaking briefly on first aid
in case of an accident, Sergeant
Laird told the membership to
make the victim comfortable and
warm while waiting for a doctor.
Also included on the thought of
safety was a list of first aid ma
terials to keep intact in case of
home accidents. Rev. Edward
Imme, director of the local Civil
Defense organization presented
this information.
Dr. Curtis Dearborn presented i
a list of staples recommended at j
the recently held Civil Defense j
Emergency Food Conference, j
which will be published in this
paper at a later date.
Members of the recreation com- j
mittee offered a detailed plan,
complete with sketches and
brices, for the creation of a com-,
bination tennis-skating rink that
might be built near the present j
school. The approval of such a1
. plan was unanimously voted by!
those attending.

Veterinarian
Named for VaHey
James Wilson, recently appoint
ed Commissioner of Agriculture,
announced May 11 that Dr. James
Payaruski of Anchorage will set
up his veterinary practice in Pal
mer May 18 and will take care
of territorial veterinary work in
the Valley under a contract with
the Alaska Department of Agri
culture.
Because of a reduction in de
partment funds, it has become
impossible to continue the vet
erinary program on the same bas
is as in the past, Wilson said. Tu
berculosis and Bangs disease test
ing and calfhood vaccinations
will continue as before, he said
as will livestock health problems,
of a community nature, and meat
inspections. Term of the contract
permit Dr. Payaruski to charge
fees of a reasonable rate for other
services performed.
Wilson explained, at a meeting
with a group of Valley dairymen
May 4, that an arrangement of
this nature was the most practical
way to guarantee the services of
a full time veterinarian for stock
men of the valley.
Dr. Payaruski is a graduate of
Washington State College and is
well recommended by others of
his profession, it was announced.
He will make his home in the
vallev as soon as living quarters
are found.

Fire Presents Qrave
Threat to CNMreit
i’ire is one of the greatest dang
ers children race nowadays, said
Palmer Fire Chief Ray Lancaster
today as he urged parents to de
vote spring Clean-Up Week to
making their homes safer places
for their children.
Citing recent reports from a
leading life insurance company.
He pointed out that fire is the
principal cause of fatal home ac
cidents to children aged 5 to 14.
At least 600 children in this age
group die every year as a result
of fire
Chief Lancaster suggested some
rules for children’s protection,
which are recommended by the
National Board of Fire Under
writers:
(1) Don’t ever leave children at
home alone. Be sure the baby
sitter is a mature, reliable person,
and that she knows how to call
the fire department.
(2) Keep matches out of the
reach of young children, and see
that pot handles do not protrude
over the edge of the stove, where
young hands can reach them.
(3) All children at bonfires and
campfires only under supervision.
By losing their footing, they could
fall into the flames.
