Non-School Bus Children
May Get Iransoortation
Separate bus transportation for
Soldotna area children uneligible
to ride a school bus has been pro
posed bv Horace Davi, Kenai bus
operate . The announcement Was
made at last Monday night’s Par
ent-Teacher association meeting
by Charley Griffin, school super
intendent.
Under the state law, only stu
dents living at least a mile and
one-half from the school are el
igible to ride the school bus. Oth
ers closer to the school must walk
or in most cases be taken in cars
driven by their parents.
Davi’s proposal is to make up
a route to eliminate necessity of
parents, taking the children to
j chool and home again and to av
oid possibility that many of the
children may have to walk home,
which in winter may be hazard
ous because of early darkness and
slick, icy roads.
Parents interested in Davi’s pro
posal are advised o contact him
by calling 283-7733.
In other P-TA business. Mrs.
Frank Mullen told the group that
the Crescent Dairy has been pro
v ling milk at no charge for the
school lunch room for the past
three weeks and suggested that
some plan be worked out whereby
milk could be supplied on a pay
ing basis as far as the dairy is
concerned. A committee with Mrs.
Mullen as chairman and Larry
Lancashire and Chuck Hines (of
Crescent Dairy) as members, was
appointed to work out a solution.
it was also announced that
teachers at the school be contact
ed by parents who desired ap
pointments made for their child
ren for analysis of speech prob
lems with Dr Helen Dittman,
speech and hearing therapist. It
was stressed that analysis only
and not treatment appointments
were intended at this time. Doc
tor Dittman is to be he e this
week and^gext _:t^\yas,^gLained.
A quartette ebmposed of Dr.
Elmer GaeJe, Mrs. Gaed*',* Ravr ‘
Paul Ho m?r and Miss Joyce Bar
l y, sixth grade instructor, was
featured on the program. Several

Time Extension
For Dock Work
The Ketchikan firm replacing
the city float in Sitka has been
granted a 15-day extension of time
to complete the project, says Cort
Howard, director of the Alaska
Division of Water and Harbors.
The extension, starting Dec. 11,
was granted because of a delay
in material being shipped to Odin
Jensen and Son, the contractor.
Jensen and Sons’ bid for the pro
ject was $42,159—some $5,000 less
than the cost estimated by state
engineers.
