Grade-Schoolers Study
Modern Home Building
Science is as close as the kitch
en sink, members of the fifth and
sixth grades of Valdez School
found out last week. The inter
mediate pupils have been reading
many things about science and
home in the past few weeks, but
last week they got some first
hand infomation on home-build
ing that proved to them that sci
ence is a pretty practical subject,
after all.
. The students visited the Gil
son bungalows, now under con
struction here. Earl Winters ex
plained the building plans to the
students and discussed with them
the different types of houses and
construction materials.
Pupils learned that the Gilson
homes, scheduled to be finished
before Christmas, will be as sci
ence-full as a modern magazine
illustration. Of principal interest
to grade-schoolers was the elec
tric dishwasher to be installed in
each kitchen. The houses also will
have modern washers and will be
heated by radiant heat.
Freighter Here Last Friday
The freighter Square Knot
docked in Valdez on Friday, Sept.
22, to land a cargo of freight.
