DEAR DAN: I’m trying to get a job this summer
before going away to college but I haven’t had much luck.
What about these jobs you see advertised in the paper? You
know, sell “products" door to door and make $200 a week
tnd more. Are they on the level?—Mitch.
DEAR MITCH: I imagine the basic idea is on the
level or your newspaper wouldn't run such an ad but
whether or not you make $200 a week or more is an
other thing. Jobs with that kind of an income never
need to be publicised. I think.
I was a sophomore in high school and I tried peddl
ing magazines door to door with a professional crew.
This was strictly commission work and my first and
only one day on the job I batted 1.000—no sales and no
commission. You can check out the job if you wish but
before you put up a "performance bond," if one is re
quired, make sure you read the fine print.
DEAR DAN: I’m in love with the most wonderful guy
m the world but the trouble is he’s married. He doesn’t love
bis wife and she doesn’t love him and the only reason They
don’t get a divorce is because he can't afford it right now. My
parents think he’s wonderful and don’t mind me dating him
but people are beginning to talk. Under the circumstances, as
long as I have my parents’ approval, isn't the dating all right?
He’s 22 and I’ll be 17 in August.—Crazy Over Him.
DEAR CRAZY: We've got a somewhat similar pro
blem—I'm in love with a married woman. The major
difference is that I happen to be married to this gaL
Is "Crazy” your family name It must be because your
parents certainly qualify if they "approve" of your
dating this romeo. Why don't you ask his wife if she
approves too?
DEAR DAN: Is it possible for a guy who won’t be 18 until
i.eKt month to be in love with a woman 13 years older? I work
»n a service station and everytime this woman drives in for
gas, I just about do handsprings. She never says much but
jhe keeps giving me the eye—if you know what I mean.
—Station Jockey.
DEAR JOCKEY: Let's hope your only interest is
in the car and not in the driver. I'm sure if she didn't
have the car and you met her in the super.market, you
wouldn't be flipping at all. Chalk this up as a summer
disease of some sort or other.
DEAR DAN: My only son is running around with several
Ader boys whose only interest seems to be in getting into
trouble. None of them work but they always seem to have
plenty of spending money. 1 don’t have a husband anymore
tnd J.J. is more than I can handle. I’ve asked him to talk to
■ur minister but he refuses. He tells me I’m worrying about
nothing and that he can take care of himself. But I’m worried,
O tn, and I can’t help it.—Worried Mother.
DEAR W.M.: If your son won't go to see your
minister, have your clergyman drop in unexpectedly
on purpose some evening when J.J. is home. You have
every right to worry if your motherly intuition tells
you your son is heading for trouble.
DEAR DAN: Everytime I get on the dance floor, I stiffen
tip and make a fool of myself and of the girl I’m dancing with.
I've just learned to dance and I tell myself that’s the reason.
U it?—Stiff.
DEAR STIFF: Probably. But quit worrying, will
you?

Still more new scientists and
agricultural experts were ar
riving in the Valley this week
to begin work on the largest
agricultural research program
ever outlined for the territory.
Latest arrivals were Dr. A. H.
Mick, who will be in charge of
the soils classification work at
the experiment station, and Dr.
Iver Nygard, who will conduct
a soils survey and will assist
in getting the work correlated
and underway.

A seminar of seven Presby
terian ministers, who have
been attending the recent
Presbyterian conferences in
Seattle, will arrive in the Val
ley next Monday. They have
come north to study Presbyter
ian missions in Alaska. Don
Irwin will tell the visitors of
the Valley’s history and Mrs.
Neil Miller will sketch the his
tory of the local church. W. C.
Mau then will present the ma
jor problems confronting Pal
mer's church.

A total of 28 delegates from
the Valley Chamber of Com
merce went to Anchorage yes
terday to push the Valley’s ad
vantages for the Alaska Native
Service hospital before the
Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce. President Maze was the
Valley spokesman at the meet
ing Mr. Maze emphasized the
fact that Anchorage business
men would in no way be in
juring themselves by sponsor
ing the plan to locate the hos
pital in Palmer. “We know' that
?5 cents of each dollar of hos
pital money spent in Palmer
would reach Anchorage in a
week,” he said.

The temporary building
which will house Bert's Drug
Store, until the new structure
is ready, is nearing comple
tion, A small building, a
former dwelling house, has
been moved to the lot at the
rear of the store's former lo
cation and is being converted
to store quarters.

Because 101 beavers lost their
shirts this spring, 10 happy
women are each going to be the
proud owner of a new beaver
coat this year. And they can be
properly grateful to Leo Lucas
and Vern Donaldson, local trap
pers, who are responsible. The
trapping pair just last week fin
ished the work of beaver de
populating the Big Lake and
Fish Creek area, where they
were licensed to trap for the
territory this spring. Lucas and
Donelson were assigned the job
of eliminating the beaver be
cause they were interfering
with salmon spawning grounds.
* * *
At a joint meeting of the
Palmer board of education and
the playground committee of
the Parent-Teacher's Associa
tion this week, orders were
drafted for the purchase of $500
worth of new play equipment
for Palmer school. This money,
set aside in a special fund by
the territory, is available to
schools up to the amount of
$250, if matched by a like
amount in the community. Pal
mer’s P-TA this year under
took the job of digging up the
matching $250.
Behind every successful man
lies good management and su
perior judgment.

THOUGHTS
OF A
LAYMAN
Shoot the Moon
It is not impossible that we
should succeed in getting two
or three men to the moon. Ex
istence there, even for the
briefest of periods, will be still
another matter. First of all,
there is no atmosphere on the
moon, and without oxygen pro
perly mixed with nitrogen, no
human being can exist. Second,
ly, there is no water. This crea
tes a problem that is insur
mountable. One side of the
moon is extremely cold, colder
than either the south or the
north pole. The other side, fac
ing the sun, is many times hot
ter than the Sahara Desert. The
reason for this is that the moon
rotates only once in a lunar
month. Meanwhile, our lunar
nauts will either freeze, bum
to death, starve or be asphyxi
ated. Certainly, they will never
return to the earth alive. Of
course, the Russians would like
to have us try it and see us
waste several billion dollars.

SOMETHING
The
SOMETHING
NEW
These — without anything borrowed or blue_
can give to her Wedding Day the sure promise of
happiness.
Something old? A faith in God such as has been
the foundation of life for millions of Christians
before her. A simple conviction found in the reli
gious instruction she received as a child, nurtured
in regular worship at Church, ready to go with
her through the years.
Something new? A love for the one she has
consented to marry. A tender devotion that will
grow richer and deeper as they share the sunshine
and shadows of life.
With these two—the “something old” that lives
in her soul, and the “something new” that thrills
in her heart—she comes to her husband. And if he
comes to her bearing the same treasures, their
marriage cannot fail!

THE CHURCH FOR ALL...
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship.
It ia a storehouse of spiritual val
ues. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civiliza
tion can survive. There are four
sound reasons why every person
should attend services regularly
and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2)
For his children's sake. (3) For
the sake of his community and
nation. (4) For the sake of the
Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support.
Plan to go to church regularly
and read your Bible daily.
