through a Sadie Hawkins race.
Wasilla’s race is even better
than the Dogpatch event. Be
cause there are so many more
boys than girls in Wasilla high
school, Wasilla girls will be per
mitted to catch two boys.
'lne guis are planning cos
tumes m keeping with Dog- ;
paum tiaditions, according to
Katherine Pederson, Sadie Haw
kins day chairman. Each girl1
has been supplied with lengths
of burlap, but what she achieves
witn mat ourlap is to oe kept j
secret until the big day arrives, j
The turn the party takes next'
Saturday depends on the wea
ther. If it has been cola enough
to make good ice, the Vvasilla
girls and tneir captive dates plan
a skating party. If the weatner
turns warm — well, Katherine
isn t prepared to disclose all her
plans, but sne says “we’re real
ly planning to put those boys
through the mill.”
One slight hitch in plans has
not yet been smoothed. The boys
are claiming their Sadie Haw
Kins day light to adhere to rules
and regulations. They’re insist
ing on wneelbarrow transporta
tion to and fiom the party.
Some of me girls ieel that two
miles of barrow-pushing is car
rying matters a bit far, even for
badie Hawkins day.
Christmas Seals !
To Be Handled |
Under New Set-Up!
In order to keep a greater per
centage of gross receipts in the
local treasury, the Valley chap
ter of the Alaska Tuberculosis j
Association will de-centralize
this year, it was announced this
week by Mrs. F. R. Sims. The ;
ATA, which handies the annual
sale of Christmas seals, will or
ganize a committee of four to
function all year. I
Mrs. Sims explained that the
plan in no way cut off the local,
shapter from its parent organiza
tion. It does allow 20 percent
of money received, less 5 per
cent which goes to national head
quarters, to remain in the Val
ley for expenditure in ATA
work.
Funds received through seal
sales go to help in rehabilitation
work for tubercular patients, or
to assist in filling some of the
small needs of patients or their i
families. The money is not in
tended to supply hospitalization
for tuberculosis patients.
Mrs. Harold Thuma will head
the standing committee of four,
and will announce the name of
her co-workers soon. Sale of
Christmas seals is expected toj
get under way here in the near
future. !
Slogan of the Palmer chapter I
this year has been selected as:
“We Urge You—BUY CHRIST
MAS SEALS.”
