_Mailed to all points in Alaska and the United States
Laudable and in line with common sense was ac
tion taken yesterday at their annual meeting by mem
bers of the Co-Op in permitting negotiation with the
Palmer School Board for sale of the gymnasium and
the adjacent property.
The present rental arrangement has resulted only
in a ruinous stalemate, advantageous to no one con
cerned and jeopardizing continuation of recreational
activities for youths and adults alike. The building has
deteriorated to the point where only the capital ex
penditure of several thousands of dollars will put it in
* shape for the athletic events and community activities
for which it was intended.
No one could blame the School Board for not
wanting to put money into repairs on a building which
it did not own and held only on a year to year arrange
ment. The Co-Cp, harrassed by need for new funds1
for an expanding enterprise, could hardly be blamed
for not sinking a lot of money into a building for which
it has no need and from which it could realize only a
slow return on its investment.
It may be some time before the school district
will be able to have a new gymnasium. Even when it
does, there will still be need for gym facilities for ele
mentary students. The timely expenditure of a few
thousand dollars for repairs and additions to the pres
ent building may save or at least postpone a far great
er expenditure of funds for a replacement.

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.
