It was voted to immediately
begin work on plans for the pre
sentation of material showing
Palmer’s need for a new postof
fice. Rather than writing letters,
it was decided to mount pictures
on a poster to submit to postof
iice authorities. i
Although the Chamber of
Commerce has not yet been re
I quested to do so, it was voted to
decline the responsibility for
downtown clean-up in the
Grange’s beautification project.
It was stated by one Chamber di
rector, that such a clean-up pro
gram is a “matter of individual
responsibility and is not a pro
ject which the Chamber of Com
merce should be expected to un
dertake.”

Mietzi Bleck is looking forward
to the construction of her own
studio in the Valley, where she
can devote all her attention to
; her art.
“That studio’s not going to be
too much longer in the future,
either,” she declares. "1 ve I
bought a sawmill to get the I
material for it. That’s the only
was I know to lick the lumber !
shortage.”
unce the studio is finished,
Miss Bleck will not entirely
abandon the teaching field. She’s
hoping, in addition to her cre
] ative work, to organize classes
in painting and craftwork for
Valley students.

Valley Children
To Be Immunized
Early Next Month
Protective immunization for
diphtheria, smallpox and whoop
ing cough for Valley children
will be begun at the Health Cen
ter early in April, it was an
nounced early this week by
nurse Dolores Zeis.
The immunizations will be
given by Dr. R. E. Garrett. The
time and date of this service will
be announced at a later date.
Anyone planning to have chil
dren immunized should consult
Miss Zeis for an appointment.
‘ Parents who wish tn Hn
everything in their power to
guard their children’s health
will have their children im
munized,” the health nurse de
clared. “Preventive measures
are effective, safe and readily
obtainable against diphtheria,
smallpox and whooping cough.
All babies should be protected
against these diseases by the end
of their first year.
“These immunizations should
be begun at the age of six
months. The treatments cause
little discomfort and the child is
safeguarded during his entire
childhood.”
Miss Zeis urged all parents,
whose children have not received
the immunizations, to take early
advantage of this service.

the district takes its proper place
in Alaskan development.
During this first year’s work
a soil conservation board, made
up of three territorial farmers*
has been appointed and has been
; sworn into office. That board has
' organized itself, has elected of
ficers and has outlined a program
of objectives for future work.
The first important job which
faces the board at this time is the
formation of sub-districts in the
several Alaskan agricultural
communities. These districts vTill
be headed by locally elected
farmers, for the board has ex
pressed the opinion that farmers
in each area should manage their
individual programs.
Sub districts may be formed in
any area upon tne presemaiion
of a petition to the board signed
by 25 resident farmers. These
petition forms are available is
Palmer from the Extension Serv
ice and from the Soil Conserva
tion Service. In Fairbanks, Lyn
den Funk, board member, has a
supply of the forms, and in An
chorage they may be obtained
from the office of the Farm Home
Administration or tne r.xiension
