Calls Second Meeting
For Tuesday Afternoon
The second meeting of the
Alaska Pure Seed Growers As
sociation will be held Tuesday,
February 13, Parker Lester, ag
ricultural agent, announced this
week. The meeting will be at
1:15 p.m. in the Co-Op clubroom
(old library).
“At the first meeting held Jan
uary 15, all were of the opinion
that the Valley should avail them
selves with the opportunity that
existed in producing their own
local seed and not depend on
shipped-in varieties,” Mr. Lester
said in making the announcement.
“It is possible and quite prob
able that this organization will
have seed other than Golden Rain
oats and Edda barley to offer for
distribution another year,” Mr.
Lester added. He also pointed out
that “all indications are that the
certification of potato seed stock
will be handled through the aus
pices of the Alaska Pure Seed
Growers Association this year.”
All growers interested in the cer
tification of potato seed, cereals,
and other crops such as forage or
even vegetable seed should know
what the organization is attempt
ing to do, Mr. Lester urged.
Irving Newville was appointed
temporary chairman of the asso
ciation at the January meeting.
Mr. Newville will preside at the
meeting Tuesday, which he called
this week.

JUAN P. MILLER
OFFERS MUSICAL
TRAINING HERE
In most of the states, music is
considered a “major” subject, of
equal importance with mathemat
ics, language, science, history or
any other school subject, Juan P.
Miller said this week in announc
ing musical training that he is
now offering.
Even before World War I some
high schools gave four full units
of credit for piano, voice or violin,
besides harmony, band, orches
tra, chorus, sight singing, appre
ciation and several other musical
subjects, Mr. Miller said.
“But in Alaska, no high school
graduate can enter a conservatory
or college of music because only
one unit of credit can be earned
in four years of high school,” Mr.
Miller stated. He added that
“several units may be earned
through his system, Community
Music, and that if they are not
accepted in other schools, all tui
tion money will be refunded.”
Music ranks third or fourth
among the industries, Mr. Miller
pointed out, in the volume of
sales and the amount of capital
invested. It also ranks third or
fourth among the professions and
skilled trades in the number of
people gainfully employed. But
it always ranks first among hob
S.OS.

A Modern Miracle On The Farm
POWER PLUG5EZ
Since electricity has
taken up farming it
seems it's never stopped
finding new and better
ways of doing things. It
pumps the farmer's
water, milks his cows,
cooks his meals, and
does everything faster
and more efficiently
than the farmer could
do it himself.

bies and wholesome recreation,
first among the things that make
people popular with others and
first among the activities that
make one enjoy one’s own com
pany when alone.
Of even greater importance is
the fact that music keeps children
in school until they finish and
keeps them “on good behavior”
as members of a group, he said.
“In the Community Music
movement, players are ranked ac
cording to musical ability as
shown by achievement and ac
cording to qualities of leadership
and general helpfulness and use
fulness to the community. There
are no cases of juvenile delin
quency among young players
whose rank and social standing
depend on exemplary conduct
and musical ability,” Mr. Miller
stated.
