Aviation Cadet
JOHN R STEWART
1
Naval aviation cadet John R.
Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs.
James F. Stewart of Palmer,
recently made his first solo
flight while undergoing flight
instruction with Training
Squadron One at the Naval
Auxiliary Air Station, Saufley
Field, Pensacola, Fla.
Pensacola is t h e headquar
ters for the Naval Air Basic
Training Command. In the
more than 50 years of naval
aviation thousands of Navy
and Marine pilots have begun
their flight training here.
A graduate of Yakima Yalley
College, Cadet Stewart entered
the Navy in May, 1963.
Handicapped
Construction
developed by the American
Standards Association entitled
“Making Buildings and Facili
ties Accessible to and Usable
by the Physically Handicap
ped.”
“Physically handicapped per
sons are often faced with
hardship by the design of mod
em public buildings,” the Gov
ernor said in his directive.
“The barrier caused by a long
flight of steps or a narrow
doorway is often impossible to
a person confined to a wheel
chair or burdened with a cast.
“To meet this situation the
federal government, other
states, municipalities and pri
vate organizations have taken
steps to insure that provision is
made for the physically handi
capped in the construction of
new buildings. In the interest
of the handicapped citizens
of Alaska it is desirable that
special provision be made in
the design and construction of
future state buildings for the
elimination of these architect
ural barriers.”

"Resolution Charades"
Is Good Party Game
A New Year’s party game
might be ‘Resolution Charades,’
an adaptation or the old Chi
nese Custom of telling fortunes
with bamboo sticks.
Pass a circular box (an oat
meal container) painted red
and filled with straws, each
containing a tightly rolled New
Year’s resolution written on
thin paper. Have at least as
many straws as guests. Each
player then draws a straw and
acts out his reslution.
At the conclusion, he apolo
gizes profusely for his miser
able performance while the
others try to guess his resolu
tion.
LOOKING AHEAD
Traditionally, New Year’s
Eve is a time for looking ahead,
as exemplified in earlier times
by the “dipping” custom.
While the family gathered
about in eager anticipation, the
head of the family would close
his eyes, flip open the family
Bible and indicate a passage
with his finger.
The text of the passage was
supposed to indicate the luck
—good or bad—which would
come with the New Year.
