A medical books says the aver
age person turns in his sleep,
twenty-five to thirty-five times.
That’s nothing—he’ll spin when
the Xmas bills come around.
After much consulialion with;
my Ouija Board—I learn that
the X-rays for T. B„ cancer and
heart disease will be held in the
Wasilla school Tuesday, the
fourth of January, nine a.m.
Thursday night (tonight) 8:00
o’clock at the school. Hunters j
should be there to help establish |
open and closed areas—and all j
the regulations thot about and j
discussed after all ‘hose cow j
moose were shot. If you get your j
paper Thursday—tell your neigh- ,
bor — for that matter, take him i
along.
A ham went home on the school
bus to Mrs. A. R. Carson and a j
"Kid's" Turkey went to five
month old Linda Lincoln. Henry
Katkus had to come and get his
ham. These were gifts of Tee
land's store—recipients chosen by
lot.
Little Mothers of the Brownie
Scouts gave a tea for their Big
Mothers. The cookies were made
by all Brownies ar.d served by all
except Judy Betts and Barbara
Clarke—they poured. Gifts, pro- 1
gram and corsages were given, j
All this was made possible by the
training, care and love of Mrs.
Edith Olson.
All things being equal (metal
doors arriving), the new school
should be turned over to the Ter
ritory about the first of Febru
ary.

It Can Be Wished
In Many Languages
“Happy New Year!”
As the year 1955 rolls westward
from the Admiralty’s date line,
these words will ring out in many
languages.
Should you be in gay Paree, the
greeting you’d hear would be
“Bonne Annee!” Down in sunny
Italy, they say “Buon Capo
d’Anne!” which doesn’t sound too
different. In Spain, it’s “Feliz Ano
Nuevo!”
If you have relatives or friends !
in Germany, they may write, “Ein
Glueckliches Neues Jahr.” If so,
they wish you a Happy New Year.
The Swedish and Norse greetings
are different from the ones above, j
although they are almost the same.
The Swedes say, “Got Nytt Ar,” i
and the Norse “Godt Nytt Aar.’’ ,
Any way you hear it, though, it
seems the same. The three words ■
mean not only Happy New Year,
but imply best wishes for all the
days ahead.
FIRST DAY, FIRST MOON
New Year's wTas a 15-day affair

Chieh,” the Feast of Lanterns.

Emsrgeifcy Food
Supply Recommended
By GEvi! Defense
It would bo good business for
every family in Alaska to have
an emergency supply of food to
live on if supplies were cut off.
This statement was made some
time ago by the Department of
Ci'dl Defense, and again emphas
ized at the CD meeting recently
held in Palmer. In cities where
supplies come in frequently and
regularly, and where the people
are almost totally dependent on
these supplies, as in this locality,
it would be good business to build
up an emergency 30-day supply,
CD officials stated.
Conditions are so different
among the cities, towns and vil
lages in Alaska that all that can
be done is to make an outline
which can be used as a check list
and a general guide by families
that will try to provide some
thing for themselves for emergen
cies. If a person is sitting in an
apartment and his living is un
interrupted except that he is
short of food, a recommended list
would be quite simple. In an em
ergency however, normal living,
whether as known in a city, town
or village, might be severely up
set. For this reason the outline
takes into account the possibility
that people might have to leave j
their homes and live for a time j
under extreme emergency condi- I
tions.
Lydia Fohn-Hansen, associate j
directors for Extension Home De
monstration work, has prepared j
the following specific list of j
foods for an emergency supply
for a family of four for one week.
This will supply about 2380 cal
ories a day per person. For a long
time it would be possible to get
along with less than two-thirds
this much but it would not be
good for health and you would
get pretty hungry, she said.
