'ThreeCrades ReachPeak,
 Others Near

The doors of Palmer school were closed to four children last Friday. The four sought admit tance to grade classes in the school, which already have reached peak loads in classroom capacity, superintendent Carl Smelling said.
 MT. Smelling said he regretted the necessity of refusing entrance to the children, but he had no al- formative. An absolute maximum enrolment has been reached in the first, third and fifth grades of Palmer school. Each of these classrooms is jammed with plus-40 registration list. Normal classroom enrolment in the Palm CT grade school should not ex- ceed 20 pupils.
 An appeal has been sent to the office of the territorial commits sioner of education for added funds. One extra teacher could take the overload from several classrooms, MT. Smelling ex- plained. This would temporarily meet the problem which faces the Palmer school, but not for long, he warned. Almost every class in the Palmer grade school is close to maximum capacity.
 If funds for the salary for an extra teacher can be secured, an- other grade classroom can be added by shifting high school classes. At present, there are no seats available, but it is felt that

Rusty Dow Finds AirbOrne Bulls
 Are Lightweights

Rusty Dow, local trucker, got brand new 1947 .Studebaker truck this week.
 She's plenty thrilled with it. From the first moment she saw it she began dreaming up new business possibilities for her Palmer-Anchorage shopping ser- vice and freight hauling.
 So she was more than pleased to find her first assignment with it was to be something slightly different than normal trucking chore. She was ordered to pick up two bulls, flown from the states to Anchorage, for Valley consignees.
 Reaching back into early Texas memories of cattle sizes, Rusty spent the whole trip into Anchorage calculating tonnage and space. She concluded her new truck was more than ade- quate and wheeled jauntily into Merrill field planning how to cope with her next problem that of persuading Hereford bulls to swap air transportation for a motorized conveyance.
 Pulling into the Mt. Mckinley Airfreight yards to pick up her cargo, Rusty found her space problems had been greatly ex- aggerated. In her own words, she found waiting for her, two of the cutest little Hereford calves you've ever seen."
 Now Rusty's hearing good many remarks about the truck CT that started to Anchorage for bulls and came back with bull- cts.
 The Hereford babies are des- tined to improve the beef herds of the Grow brothers on the Wasilla road and the herd of Frank Clark.

Dairy Industry Chief
 Returns To Washington

Dr. O. E. Reed, chief of the bureau of dairy industry, who has been in the Valley for the past several weeks, left Anchor age last Thursday morning. He planned to spend a day or two there, and a day or two in Ju- neau, before leaving Alaska. He will return to his office in Wash ington, D. C., with a report of Valley herd conditions.
 While here Dr. Reed outlined a herd improvement program for Valley dairymen, which has been unanimously accepted for use.

 High school officials hope to make this Alumni clash a tra- ditional season-opener in the years ahead.

 Admission prices for the.
 coming season have been

 school students. SO cents for
 high school students. and $l

 Superintendent Carl Smelling, who announced the prices, said upkeep and insurance for the gymnasium must come from game receipts. He pointed out that ticket sales do not all re- vert to the school, for 20 per cent Federal tax is charged against each ticket.
 Valley residents are invited to attend the high school games this year. However, MT.

ManyStorage Problems Do
 StumpE'xpert

''The mans who's probably made more mistakes on potato storage than any other man Iiv- ing" That's the way Alfred D. Edgar, agricultural engineer with the Department of Agricul- ture, describes himself. However his associates would hasten to add, ''also probably theNonly man living who knows as many right answers on potato storage"
 All of which goes to prove MT. Edgar's repeated assertion, you can't make a hard and fast rule in this business. The thing that works in one place won't al- ways work in another. The con- .ditions seem to be the same, and you think it should, but it won't"
 MT. Edgar is in the Valley now to study crop storage facilities here. He also has a second pur- pose, which is to attempt to tabu- late all the principal farming problems here in land clearing, irrigation, machinery and farm buildings.
 Looks For Trouble
 Although not a specialist in these particular fields, MT. Ed gar's job as agricultural en- 9ineer gives him the background oi spot trouble when he sees it. And once the trouble is located, s4is his hope to be able to di- ect a specific problem to the nan who knows its answer.
 He said, however, that the Val ay could not hope for series fFvisits from the Department of .Agriculture's top men. Most of the troubleshooting in the terri tory hereafter will be done through channels of the Alaska experimental stations.
 The Valley farmers already have been extremely fortunate in obtaining on-the-spot advice from key officials in the Depart ment, MT. Edgar stated. He cited as an example the recent visit of Dr.. O. E. Reed, chief of the en- tire dairy industry of the United States. He pointed out that it is not often that a man with as great a responsibility as Dr. Reeds can travel so far to de- vote time and attention to 40 herds of cows.
 MT. Edgar's job, as he de- scribes it, is that of finding out how to design storages to get the conditions that Federal, state ana territorial research workers say they want" He's been at that job since 1881.
 Extensive Research
 The engineer has conducted extensive research projects in Maine, Minnesota and North Da- kota. He finds the North Dakota climate most closely approaches that of the Valley, but again he cautioned against the general ization that because climates are alike, the same type of storage is desirable for both.
 MT. Edgar says there is no other way to learn in this field except by trial and error meth, cd. Laboratories can find. through research, method which it is believed will work However that method can be proved only by actual tests in the field.

ceived that given in Constitution
Hall with customary enthusiasm.
The fundamental reason is that DR..
Hans Kinder is one of the finest
interpreters of this music, which
can be noise and bombast in less
sympathetic hands. But as the
National Symptoms conductor re-
acts to it, its tremendous dramatic
power, its marvellous blending OF
tonal richness and its unabating
romantic surge are set forth with
rare comprehension.
Wagner may be forgiven his many
faults for that large-scaled dream
of beauty he carried within him.
It loosened the springs of his in
spiration and the result is music of
sweep, fire, breadth and sentiment
that the opera world had never
known before. AS music, and apart
from the composer, nationalistic
principles that became those of an
entire nation to the worlds detri-
ment, 1T has still the power to thrill
with its magnitude of thought and
originality of expression.
For the orchestra, DR.. Kinder
selected the Finale" from "Das
Rheingold," the Ride Of the VAL
kyries" from die Walkure," "Sieg-
frieds Rhine Journey" from die
Goetterdammerung" and the "Vor-
spiel and Liebestod" from Tristan
and Isolde" In all of this there
is an orchestral riot of vibrant hues,
deep-toned colors that are spread
on the musical canvas with broad
and telling strokes. DR.. Kindler's

BABY
BY Edna Mae McInfosh

Wouldn't you be incensed il
someone inferred that your pride
and joy is only an average baby?
Of course you would because you
know he is a most unusual indi-
vidual and that there was rever
another baby just like him.
With this recognition of her
baby as a distinct individual, isn't
it surprising that a mother can be-
come such a copy cat" in feeding
him? The pattern set by other
mothers of her acquaintance is too
often her principal guide in this
respect
Many people seem to measure
ment in terms Of how early he
starts certain supplements to his
diet. In an effort to keep up with
the J~oneses," some mothers rush
into extensive supplementary feed
ing without the counsel Of the
baby's physician. /
Experience has shown that
strained baby foods can be added
with safety to the diets of most
infants at comparatively early
ages. In keeping with these OBJ
servations, the medical profession
has gradually lowered the starting
age for most items. y
But the doctor maintains a wide
Ifexibility in the recommendations
he makes. He recognizes, for in
stance that one baby's stomach is
larger than another's. Such a baby
can take more food at less frequent
intervals. The physician knows
that some babies have more sensi-
tive digestive systems than others
and governs the Introductory time
for solid foods accordingly. He
also knows when sufficient teeth
are present for efficient chewing
and is thus guided in starting the
chopped" and coarser textured
foods. }
