Report Cards Are Out Next Week

The first six weeks of work in Palmer school ended last Fri day. Tests were completed then, and report cards will be isued some time this week.
 High school students who were neither absent nor tardy during this period, and who maintained a c plus grade average, will be given an afternoon off as reward, principal James Gray, Jr., an- nounced today.
 Students will be permitted to play basketball, use the libarry or playground, or may be al lowed to go downtown, he said. He warned that any misconduct in town would cancel the vaca- tion privilege.
 Students will be given their time off next Friday afternoon. They must, however, return to school to report for the 3::3O roll call.

It's A Lesson
IfsA Lesson
 PHSStudentsDesign |The Perfect House

Future home-builders and home-makers are cooperating to work out plans for an ideal house at Palmer high school. The project is combined as- signment for advanced shop and advanced domestic science stu dents.
 The idea began with the girls, who visited the home of Mrs. J. K. Dunlap early in the term. This home, formerly owned by Paul Stringfield, was one of the first houses built in the Valley.
 After their inspection tour, the girls drew scale plans of the structure as it stands today. Then, they dreamed over it for a time, and drew a second set of plans, this time showing the

house as they would like to have it built.
 Girls Furnish II
 From magazines and catalogs the students selected furniture, plans for cupboards and closets and all home accessories.
 The girls drew their plans with an eye on a step-saving kitchen, an economical use of all space in the floor plan, and completed the project with sug- gestions on how to lay out the grounds around this ideal home.
 All the ideas were summed up in a practical home-planning notebook kept by each student.
 Once the girls had changed their minds for the last time about windows and doors, and

'Huntley Kids Thumb A: Ride

Their first train ride was a historic one for Margie and iLaddie Huntley last week. The two hitched a ride on the new streamliner (with permission), for the quickest trip to Anch7 -orage ever made by train.
 They had dinner in town. caught bus back to the Val ley, and were at home by 8 o'clock that evening. In typical Alaskan fashion, the Huntley pair are several weeks veterans of air travel, for they flew over the Valley earlier this summer. !.

It seemed to Sherry that her
mothers glance rested specula-
lively on Lex several times dur
ing the short drive out to the
farm, as though she We're trying
to classify him, to fit him into
exactly the proper pigeonhole in
her mind. Sherry sensed. too, that
her mother found Lex somewhat
different than she had expected.
Younger, perhaps? More polished
in manner? More attractive?
Sherry knew her mothers sur
prise was largely her fault. She
hadn't told Leda much about Lex,
preferring to hold him fast in ner
own consciousness, a secret
warmth to wrap herself in. She
had felt unwilling to share her
growing knowledge of him with
anyone, even her mother. Least of
all her mother, Sherry thought
honestly. Because Leda had a
way of asking questions, of get
ting things out of you which you
mad no intention OF telling. And
Sherry hadn't wanted to reveal
the way she felt about Lex. He
didn't suspect at all and she could
better ignore her feeling so long
as she kept it secret.
So maybe 1 am an ostrich,

MIAMI, Aug. 6.-Fire at an

caused damage estimated at a

The fire began on the north

plane, and, obtaining fire ex-
tinguisher, ran toward the plane
to douse the blaze, but before
he got there the flames had
spread and, a few seconds later,
there was an explosion.
The fire alarm was sent in at
2 o'clock this morning, but it
was not until 6 o'clock that the
firemen got the blaze under con-
troll. Fire Chief Chase said the
reason for that was because of
frequent explosions of gasoline.
Six private planes, in line to-
ward which the fire was spread
ing, were saved by a group OF
men who pushed the planes be-
yond the danger of the flames.
