Freezing Rain
Halts Flights
Freezing rain making for
poor visibility and dangerous fly
ing conditions brought about can
cellation of regularly scheduled
flights at Kenai and Soldotna air
fields last Friday.
Pacific Northern Airlines after
noon flight from Anchorage to
Kodiak and return flew non-stop
to Kodiak and did not set down
at the Kenai filed.
Morning flights to Kenai-IIom
er-Kodiak and ^return to Anchor
age were cancelled.
Weather conditions brought
about cancellation of all flights
at Soldotna airfield. The Cordova
Airlines’ plane left Anchorage two
times and had to turn around
and go back. On the third attempt
made Friday afternoon the plane
landed on the Kenai runway and
was met there by Cordova repre
sentatives from Soldotna.
A heavy snowfall blanketed
the entire area during Thursday
night and early Friday, followed
by drizzling rain which fell-inter
mittently over most of the week
end. '
The local division of highways
reported roads to be in good
to fair condition between Clam
Gulch and Henton’s Lodge at the
conjunction of the Kenai and
Russian rivers.
Rain freezing as it hit snow
covered roads resulted in some
hazardous spots and motorists
were warned to drive carefully.

— USE OUR LAY-A-WAY PLAN —
When the north wind blows,
cleaning windows on the outside
can be an unpleasant job, par
ticularly if you use water, towels
and sponges. But with a spray
cleaner, such as Windex, the job
is easier and more comfortable.
All you need is the spray can or
bottle of blue cleaner and paper
towels. You can even keep on
your gloves while cleaning the
window*-’ so that hands never get
chapped or cold. Since windows
on the outside are subjected to
more dust and grime, here's the
best way to get them sparkling.
Spray a light mist over the whole
window and spread with a paper
towel to get off the worst of the
dirt. Spray a second mist and
with a fresh towel spread over all
the window. Turn paper towel
and wipe off Windex. The window
will be so clean it will seem to
disappear.

Bathrooms are becoming gayer
and more interesting and some
designers feel they have replaced
the automobile as a status sym
bol. In some new homes, bath
rooms are built on a grand scale,
decorated with oil paintings, wood
sculpture, etc. Most homemakers,
however, settle for decorative
touches and colorful accessories
in the ordinary amount of space.
Whichever it is, there are special
cleaning products to preserve
bathroom equipment. While the
finish on the bathtub may look the
same as the sanitary bowl, it is
different and requires a special
non-acidic cleaner. Since the
bowl is made of porcelain, it needs
an acid cleaner that is not too
abrasive. There's a special clean
er, Vanish, especially for this.
-Just pour in the powder and it
does all the work with a chemical
action; it a! a deodorizes and a
pleasant fragrance fills the air.
Baj bcri’es and sumac in a
gleaming copper bowl add a
bright and colorful autumn
touch in a iover or corner of the
living room. Give the bowl a quick
gentle cleaning with Twinkle
Gopper Cleaner which retards the
formation of tarnish and it will
gleam brightly for the fall season.
