NOTES
BY LEW HANKS
Next week plant ms should lx?
in full swing I've «atd it before
and I II s«> it again, and again
etc Now is the time to start those
windbreaks to pintett your fields
and roads If you will ju»t leave i
strip unplowed where you want
a v. indbreak chances are it will
| come up to trees naturally Then
some additionil planting will be
a good start toward getting wind
protection.
If you ne*»d windLrcnk* you!
have to start some time. Now is,
the time. Next winter when the!
wind howls around your ears!
will he too late. Remember how'
those roads drifted in? That can1
be stopped too. Start your wind- j
break about 100 feet back from!
the road. Take <>ut the fence and
brush along the road. Move the
fence back to the windbreak.
Then farm the 100-foot strip clear
out to the road ditch. Use that!
strip for crops rather than pas
ture. It may save dumping quite |
a few cans of milk next winter!
when the snow starts drifting.
There will be a windbreak
planting demonstration next
Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Lynn
Wright farm in Wasilla. There
will be one the following week
at Palmer. The place and time
will be announced later.
Better start thinking about the
places you want the snow’ to stop
next wind-blowing season.
Bob and Kay Pippel and their
sons Billy and Mike left for the
States today for a six-week va
cation.
CAMPAIGN SPEECHES
PRECEDE STUDENT
COUNCIL ELECTION
A heated 3tvi*nt Council elec
tion camp* un at Palmer School
! wa* climaxed by a pre-election
I iiaaembly Monday when student!*
j from the seventh grade on up
heard campaign managers ami
candidates speak on qualifica I
tmns. issues and political ideals
—"Don't vote for some one just (
because he's your friend. Vote for)
the person best fitted for the j
| job."
The jobs at stake were those of
| president, vice-president, aecre
i tary. and treasurer of next year’s
; Student Council.
Like all political speeches,
some were good, some were had.
and some were downright amus
ing. Mary Ann Meats, daughter
of one of the candidates in Tues
day's primary, borrowed a hint
from famous campaigns of yeais
past. Instead of a chicken in
every pot and two cars in every
garage, she ran on a platform of
a three-day v. eek for students
and two-hour movies (free) every
afternoon.
Stewart Dreghorn spoke as a
campaign manager for Monty ;
Larsh and also as a candidate
for the same office. He asked the
students to take a look at the
other candidates and decide if
they wouldn’t rather see his face
in front of them at school assem
blies.
Pre-assembly observers at the
Palmer Fountain had reason to
believe that campaigning of the
old fashioned variety might have
had a decided influence on the
