Explorers Enjoy
Two-Day Encampment
At Elmendorf AFB
Fifteen Palmer Explorer Scouts
and two leaders attended the
two-day explorer air encamp
ment at Elmendorf Air Base this
past week end.
Highlight of the encampment
was a two and one-half hour
flight in a giant C-124 Globemast
er during which the 133 district
Explorers who attended the en
campment and their leaders were
flown to the Kenai area twice,
and circled the entire Anchorage
area. Although the plane flew to
the Palmer-Wasilla area, clouds
and fog prevented the boys from
seeing their home towns from the
air.
During their visit to the air base
the scouts were given training
in navigation, weather, ground
and air safety, jet engines, type
of aircrafts, received flight 'or
ientation and each boy had a turn
at the controls of a link trainer.
Scouts were present from Pal
mer. Wasilla, Fort Richardson,
Anchorage, Elmendorf, Seward,
i W hittier, Cordova and Valdez.
The program was carried out un
der the direction of First Lieuten
ant Robert W. Hamilton, mem
ber of the 64th fighter interceptor
squadron who acted as explorer
scout liason officer for the en
campment.
Palmer Explorers attending
were: Larry Adams, Ronald Akal
stad, Don Boulter, Mike Cottrell,

POOR WIRING CAN MEAN
HIGHER ELECTRIC BILLS
If you think your electric bills are too high, you
might find the reason in your wiring. Perhaps you
are trying to run a 1954 line-up of electrical equip
ment on a 1944 wiring system.
Yes, it works—to a certain degree, but sometimes
the television is scrambled, the toaster is slow, the
iron won’t heat, the motors won’t start or the fuses
blow. It’s just not convenient, and besides it costs
money.
You can pay for electric wiring in two ways. First
you pay for it when it is installed. If the wires are
large enough and the whole wiring system adequate,
the first cost is the whole cost. But if you are one of
those unfortunate persons whose wiring installation
was just good enough to get by and pass code require
ments, chances are, you are paying for that wiring
system over and over again in wasted electricity.
If the wires are too small, electricity is wasted in
heating them. You have to pay for that heat. That
wasted electricity could just as well be put to work
at lighting your farm or for running your electric
motors.
Some wiremen will still sell you a 1944 wiring
installation with new material, of course, but without
the capacity you need. Why not ask your local elec
trical system to check your wiring right away to see
if it is adequate—and get their recommendations.
Think it over! Adequate wiring pays for itself
many times over in COLD, HARD CASH!
