Meet at Ml. McKinley
It looks like several scientists
and military big wigs will be
sleeping in tents and trains at Mt.
McKinley Park when the second
Alaska Science Conference con
venes there September 4.
Don Irwin announced today
that more than 300 applications
nad been received already, and
there are accommodations for less
than 250. Many local wives are
being told they’ll have to stay
home.
About 30 representatives of
governmental departments in
cluding several high ranking
army officers will take off from
Washington in an Army plane.
They will land in Anchorage late
September 1 or early the next
day. Several of them are expected
to stop off in the Valley for a side
trip.
George Phillips, assistant to the
Secretary of Agriculture will be
on the plane. This will mark the
first time in a number of years
that a member of this office has
visited the Territory. Dr. O. E.
Reed, head of the Bureau of
Dairy Industry will also be a
passenger. Both these men have
made definite plans to visit the
Valley before proceeding to the
meeting.
Local Rooms Needed
Many other scientists are ex
pected to visit the Valley enroute
to the conference. Arriving in the
rush of Fair time, it may be dif
ficult to find accomodations for
them in local hotels. The Cham
ber of Commerce requests again
that anyone who has a room
which might be rented to these
guesses to list it right away at
Bettys’.
"You Can't Win"
“You can’t win”, Johan John
son said last week after winning
‘ the door prize at the annual meet
ing of the M. V. F. C. A.
Johnson was given a choice
a nice outboard motor or a vac
uum cleaner.
After much deliberation, h<
chose; but it cost him plenty.
He had to buy Mrs. Johnson th<
vacuum cleaner he would havi
won if he’d made the othei
choice.
“Sourdough Shirts"
Make Alaskan Debut
“Sourdough shirts”, the latest
fashion for men and women in
Alaska made their debut and the
first shirts went on sale in Fair
banks last week, marking the
opening of the Alaska Visitors
association to collect funds.
Manufactured by McGregor of
California, the Alaska Visitors
asociation are sponsoring their
sales. Made of corduroy and at
present manufactured in bright
red only, the shirts are ornamen
ted by large “gold” nuggets in
place of conventional buttons.
“These shirts will become sort
of a trade mark of Alaska, as the
colorful lelani shirts have become
symbolic of Hawaii, “Chuck
West of the Arctic Alaska Tra
vel Service prophecied. “If they
go over, they will be sold all over
the States, and serve to direct
people’s attention to Alaska”.
Local inquiries have broughl
forth no promises, as the presenl
supply is limited but merchants
hope to be able to have their
available for Palmer purchasers
soon.

Unless children get a good start in music before they are 12,
opportunity is gone forever for most of them. Very few of the
late starters ever become good singers or players, or appreci
ative listeners. There is always an emptiness in their lives.
OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING
Ages 3 to 10 are best for starting. First month free trial.
