Territory Can Run Buses, P-TA Committee Is Told

There is a local misunder- standing with regard to school bus operation, in the event an independent school district is organized in the Valley, Dr. James Ryan, commissioner ot education, wrote Harry Wimmer last week. MT. Winner was chairman of the committee which made a study of incorporation as a school district for the Par ent-Teacher's Association.
 MT. Winner had reported that under school district incor- poration the Valley would be re- quired to pay for the operation of school buses. MT. Ryan point ed out that the territory "can, and probably would, take care of it." He said buses in Fair banks and Anchorage were maintained by the territory.
 Cost of the Valley school bus operation is estimated at about $68,000 annually.

Newsman Gathers Valley Copy

Jack Pegues, columnist for Jessen's Weekly and now visit ing in Anchorage, was in Palm CT for a day or two last week. MT. Pegues has been writing a guest column for the Anchor age News, and was here to gath CT material for a column on the Matanuska Valley.
 He first came to the Valley in 1885, when he was assigned to cover the arrival of the colon ists in Palmer. He visited here again in 1889, but had not been in Palmer since that time until last Thursday.
 He said he found many changes in this growing town, commenting particularly on the construction of the several new cement buildings in the business section.

Fire Marshal From Anchorage Visits Valley

Jim Brown, Anchorage fire marshal, was in Palmer Satur- day to confer with Al Hagen concerning problems of fire pro- lection in the MatanuSka Val ley.
 MT. Hagen, chairman of the board of directors of the Valley Volunteer Fireman's Associa- tion, said MT. Brown made sev- eral helpful suggestions. The visitor pointed out that more hydrants are needed in Palmer, and that the towns biggest equipment need at present is a truck with a larger tank ca pacity for carrying water to areas without hydrants.
 MT. Brown also urged the need for some type of building code here. He discussed with MT. Hagen the possibility of incor- poration as a fire district, and recommended an overall terri torial building code which might be enforced in such fire dis tricts.

Hospital Is
 Not Available ToValleyN

Last weeks announcement of the Army's offer of a $250,000 hospital to replace the Valleys fire-destroyed plant was prema- ture, Dr. R. E. Garret reported this week. A second conference with Post authorities has re- vealed that needed equipment and buildings for the discussed 4O-bed hospital are not avail able at present through the army.
 It. Gen. Nathan F. TWining, commanding general of Alaskan armed forces, announced that a staff officer now is making a routine survey of Alaskan De- partment medical facilities to see if any equipment is not needed. Should there be sur plus of equipment and supplies they would be turned over to war surplus agencies.
 These surplus goods then would be sold on a priority basis. Since the Valley is with out hospital facilities it is be- lieved that high priority would be given the Valley.
 Meanwhile, at joint meeting on Thursday between the hos pital board and members of the hospital committee appointed at last weeks Chamber of Com merce meeting, it was decided not to attempt to rebuild a per n2anent structure on the founda- tions of the burned building. This plan was first advanced for discussion at the Wednesday Chamber meeting.
 Victor Rivers, registered en- gineer and designer, and Jack Pegues, newspaperman, were guests at this meeting. MT. Riv- CTS, who designed plans last year for a new hospital unit here, was asked to inspect the former foundation and make recom- mendations.
 The engineer urged that no permanent structure be attempt ed at the former plant. He said he felt it unWise to rebuild on spot which had presented parking problems, and which had proved too small for an ex- pansion of the hospital plant.
 MT. Rivers inspected the old foundations, and then the pres ent hospital structure on Friday morning. He recommended that any temporary structures the Valley might secure be mounted at the present hospital site. He roughed out several possible ways in which buildings might be added at the present site.
 He pointed out that the pres ent steam line, water lines and wiring made that plan the most practical solution. He said if Army hospital buildings could be procured, one could be set up and utilized while workers were preparing additional units.
 MT. Rivers estimated that one building, on which four or five permanent workers were en- ployed, would take minimum ot two months to set up. Three such buildings, which it is be- lleved the Valley will need, would cost about $5O,OOO to :. bring into operation, he said.

} It's the era of push-button bak- ing at the Shamrock now, and it means cleaner, finer and more sanitary loaf of bread on Valley dinnertables. Even better than that, the bakers feel, is the hours of back-breaking labor that those two machines save them.
 Before the sitter was installed last week, flour had to be lifted to shoulder height and dumped in the mixer manually. The new sitter basin is easily reached, and the two machines are operated as a unit, with flour travelling from sitter to mixer along a pipe connection.
 20o-Loaf Oven
 Once flour is sifted and loaves are made and ready for baking the 200-loaf capacity revolving tray oven takes over to complete the job. That oven is filled again and again in the course of a bak- ing day at the Shamrock.
 When the bread is baked it is placed on the elevator and transferred to the basement, where loaves are run through an automatic slicing and wrapping machine. Then they're stacked on storage trays to await trans fer to one of the five Shamrock delivery trucks, or for sale across the counter upstairs.
 But there was much more than bread-making machinery in the new baking equipment unpacked and installed at the bakery last week. There was a cookie press, designed to make all kinds of cookies, which can turn out cookies faster than a Ford as- sembly processes cars.
 l.344 Cookies In 40 Minutes
 Baker Harry Rice mixed, put through the press and baked 112 dozen cookies last week in just 40 minutes time. One GUS toner who wanted ice-box cook ies, was asked to wait. The cookie dough was taken from the refrigerator, processed and baked while she chatted with a clerk, and she was handed her order fresh from the oven in plenty of time to make a noon lunch deadline.
 In the doughnut-making de- partment of the Shamrock, there are two new pieces of equip ment. One, believed to be the first in the territory, takes a blob of dough, dropped in at the top, and turns it into doughnuti, complete with hole, which drop from the bottom at the flick of q lever.
 These doughnuts are placed on screen in the baking kettle, cooked for three minutes, and then run through an automatic glazer, which neatly frosts top and bottom in one operation, while the doughnuts still rest on the original tray. After glazing they're then transferred to other racks for cooling.
 2.400 Doughnuts Hourly
 This machinery will process six dozen doughnuts at a time and will turn out 200 dozen

THE SACRIFICE
by Martha Collins Bayne

ME end of the war brought no JOY to Wilhelm
Il Schmidt as he stood shivering on the dock
in front of the Old Customs House in Shanghai
At last, he saw what he was waiting for, the
U. S. repatriation ship Marine Tiger, nosing up
the muddy river from the China Sea. Out of
Japan. she was to stop at Shanghai only long
enough to pick up more German nationals. Then
she would steam on to Hamburg.
Not that Schmidt - this lean, elderly man
with sharp-cut features and soft gray eyes
was to be one of her passengers. But something
of him was aboard the ship. The best of him,
he thought - his son.
The authorities had been most courteous.
The American major had said MIR. Schmidt, we
know all about you. You have been a watch
maker in Shanghai for Is years. You were never
Nazi. Your record is spotless. you may stay.
But your son - I'm afraid that is different
matter. After all, he was soldier in the German
army. Drafted here unwillingy. you say, for
service in the Far East. That may be true. But
is there anything father will not do for his SON?
All we know is that your son was captured in
Japan, and that as prisoner of war he must be
sent to Germany There can be no exceptions.
les, Schmidt supposed the authorities had
been as kind as they could At least, they had
given him permission to see his son in Shanghai.
Wilhelm Schmidt was weary from waiting
when he finally Iamped aboard the ship and
found the boy who was so much like him in
build and feature Schmidt s vision blurred as he
thought of his wife, Emma, bedridden and unable
even to see her son for this final farewell
And what would the boy do in Germany?
