“Come Spring” some of you
may be selecting new curtains
and draperies for your home. The
secret of selecting the right ones
for the room lies in considering
what you want the curtains and
draperies to do for your room. Do
you want them to give privacy?
Are they to be a part of the dec
orating scheme, or do you want
them to stay in the background?
Jo you need protection from too
much direct light? Any material
you select should be chosen to
compliment the whole room and
not just the windows. A large
colorful pattern will dominate
the room and make it look small
er. Draperies chosen to blend
with the color or design on your
walls will make the room seem
larger. Windows were invented
to let in light and air and let you
see out. Don’t smother them so
they are unable to serve their
purpose.
There are three “accepted”
lengths for curtains and draper
es. To the sill, to bottom of ap
ron (woodwork below window
sill) and to the floor.
Since curtains and draperies
are an investment, time and
thought should be given their
selection, construction and hang
ing. Do come in for a bulletin or
further help if need be. Exten
sion Service has material on file
for your help.

Throughout this week, many
have come td the Extension craft
room to see the homemade rugs
on display, and in “the making .
The loom for weaving rugs has
been kept very busy. Although
ihe display is only for this week»
the Extension Service does have
threaded the large loom, which
you may use to weave rugs at
ary time. If you are interested in
weaving a rug, come-in for sug
gestions as to how to prepare the
rags for weaving. It is important
that they are cut and sewed prop
erly. Anyone may use the loom
for a nominal fee to pay for
the warp used.

Take First Steps
For Polio Vaccine
Administration
The first step toward the pos
sible administration this spring of
the Salk polio vaccine to all chil
dren in the first and second
grades of the Palmer schools was
taken last week when permis
sion slips were sent home to par
ents of these pupils, according to
an announcement made by
Jeanne Shaver, public health
nurse.
The vaccine will be administer
ed to 12,000 Alaska children, be
ginning in April, if it is licensed.
According to Dr. Earl Albrecht,
commissioner of health, the evalu
ation report of Dr. Thomas
Francis, Jr. of the University of
Michigan, will be forthcoming in
April. As soon as the Department
)f Health learns the vaccine has
aeen licensed their innoculation
program will go into full swing.
The permission slips are the first
step in this direction.
“Only those children whose
parents return these slips will be
eligible for the vaccine”, Miss
Shaver^ wllOOit this week. The !

soon as possible
so that *ch 12 esary amount of
vaccine nicon, £ ordered by the
Department biusrlealth. Only those
who are registered to receive the
vaccine will be eligible, she em
phasized.
The preliminary work is being
done now, Dr. Albrecht pointed
out, so that when and if the vac
cine is licensed we will be ready
to begin the program at once. It
must be completed before the er.d
of the school term and requires a
five week period for completion.
The innoculation will be given in
a series of three—the second to
come one week after the first, and
the third four weeks later.
Parents are urged to sign the
permission slips and return therft
before Friday.
