Students Needed for
Band Instructions
Beginners are needed to play
band instruments, Leo Getsgo,
school bad master announced
this week.
Arrangements should be made
with him as soon as possible, he
said. The preferred g/ade-age
is from the fourth grade up—the
earlier being the better, he added.
There are three ways in which
instruments may be obtained for
those students interested in band
music. (1) An outright purchase.
This can be done through any
dealer or agency whom the pur
chaser wishes to deal tvith. (2)
On a rental-purchase plan and
(3) the school is able to loan a
limited amount and type on a
“first come, first serve” basis.
Music lessons will be given
during school time as part of
the school program with no
charges for the lessons being
made, Mr. Getsgo pointed out.
However, he suggested before
an> purchase or arrangements for
instruments are made that he be
contacted so that he can offer
help with any problems or ques
tions pertaining to the music
student or instrument.

was a relief map of Alaska made
of plexi-glass and which, when
completed, will have a thousand
lights that may, by the push of
a button be lighted individually,
isolating any one section. The
Training Aid Center at Fort

complete with pictures.
Nearly all day Fair-goers were
lined up waiting to go through
the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen
exhibit of game and guns. Four-H

work from members and their
i leaders. Individual farm displays
| and homemakers’ booths drew

a beautiful aerial display of fire
j works. Members of the Palmer

the firing which was done in fine
style. Although the program was
originally scheduled for 9:00 p.m.,
: members of the Fair Association
ordered the earlier presentation
because so many persons were
