Miners Give Money
For PHS fond Uniform..
Palmer High School this week
was one uniform nearer to having
a uniformed band than it was a
week ago. The miners’ union at
Jonesville Mine this week pre
sented the school with a check
covering, the cost of one band uni
form.
The contribution was received
through the efforts of the Women
of the Moose. This lodge has been
aiding the school to purchase
band uniforms by writing letters
to various civic and fraternal or
ganizations of the Valley, asking
‘hat they contribute one uniform
each to the school band.
Superintendent William T. Zah
radnicek said that it no wappears
likely that the entire band will be
uniformed by nevt fall. Proceeds
of two band conceits have helped
swell the uniform fund, in addi
tion to contributed money.
