Safe Driving Is
at PTA
Committees Report
On Activities
During Month

Reports OF committee activi-
ties and a safe driving program
by the state highway patrol
featured the regular meeting of
the Hardin Parent Teachers as
ISOLATION Wednesday evening in
the grade school gymnasium.
Archie Grover, chairman of
the health and welfare COM
mittee, reported that all school
buildings in Hardin had been
inspected during the past
month, and that all expect the
senior high school building were
in good condition, except for
certain minor repairs. It was
moved, seconded and unani-
mously passed that the secre-
tary be instructed to write a
letter to the board of trustees
of school district 17-H request
ing action on the matter of the
one building.
Elmer Skeie discussed the To-
cal teacher salary situation,
and explained that it was
hoped that good sized wage in
creases could be given local
teachers. He pointed out that
under the present conditions,
the income of the district would
not stretch to include the de-
sired raises and that an addi-
tional mill levy for school dis
trict purposes would probably
be necessary, unless some way
of raising the tax base could
be found. He stressed that sal
aries must be brought to a
higher level if the district is to
keep good teachers.
Following the business ses-
sion, the meeting was turned
over to Mrs. Hollis Johnson,
program chairman, who pre-
sented Richard Fox. Mr.. Fox,
accompanied by Mrs. William
Berns, agve two violin solos.
Sgt. Burnham of the state
highway patrol, assisted by Pa
trolman Robert Bragg, then
presented a program on traffic
safety. He showed two motion
pictures which clarified the
common driving errors and
conducted a brief question and
answer period, during which
he stressed speed, drunken
driving and failure to observe
stop signs as the chief causes
OF automobile accidents. A mo-
ton picture of the atom bomb
tests a Bikini was also shown.

composed of Mrs Sam Ragland,
Mrs. Harold Ruby, Mrs. Carl

Forest Fire Rages Dangerously On Kenai Peninsula

ANCHORAGE, (P) - A forest fire shrouded in towering smoke clouds raced today along 25- mile front toward the Kenai pe- ninsula village of KaSilof, but swamps and cleared land in the fires path were believed sufficient to save the settlement.
 A wind shift turned the blaze away from the neighboring town of Kenai, to the north, where Ft Richardson army engineers, Alas ka fire control service smoke-eat- CTS and Alaska road commission crews bulldozed a protective fire block.
 Superfortress pilots who flew over the fire yesterday said the flames were flashing along the tree tops with smoke reaching to l8,O00 feet literally boiling over, reminiscent of Kobe and Tokyo wartime fire raids.
 The Kenai peninsula fire has been out of control more than a month, blackening more than 250,- 900 acres of prime spruce stand and killing scores of moose. In- termittently it has subsided, but it sprang up again this week with increased fury.
 Army authorities said that even with favoring wind the flames could not reach the fire block at Kenai for 36 hours and they were confident the block would protect the town, its 400 inhabitants and a nearby cannery.
 Fifty additional troops were flown to Kenai Friday to serve as fire watchers and start a back fire Additional men and equip ment were held ready to move into the area if the danger to the two towns becomes acute.
