LIGHTING TIPS
bn
H0MEMAKERs

do fluorescent lights need spe-
cial house wiring, and can they be
used on regular house lighting
current ?" is a question frequently
asked of our home lighting special
lists.
Their answer is that fluorescent
lighting does NOT require special
house wiring and CAN be used on
regular house lighting current.
What happens when your home
wiring is Inadequate?
Well, the electrical traffic in
your home slows down just as mo-
tor traffic does when a highway
is inadequate. Lights do not burn
as brightly. Bread takes longer
to toast. Motor driven appliances
slow down. Fuses blow out or cir
cult breakers open. And each new
appliance or light source which
you add is an extra load to an
over burdened system.
Remedy to this situation is an
over-h hauling Of your wiring system
to include o. THREE wires of the
right size entering the house, (2)
enough circuits, 90 inside wiring
big enough to carry the load, (4)
proper fuses or circuit breakers
and 90 enough convenience out
let's.

Some modern architects suggest
a glass brick wall between cup
boards and kitchen counter space
to help the work go quicker and
easier. But you will be standing
in your own light of evenings, un-
less you plan for artificial lighting
there, too.

Self Government To Be Tested
 By Local Pupils

Students of Palmer school are planning their first venture in self-government this term, Su- perintendent Carl Smelling an nounced recently. The school has been granted a charter from the National Association of Stu dent Councils, and groundwork for the establishment of the system has already been pre- pared.
 Student body officers of last term have been meeting with MT. Smelling since the opening of school to organize the Coun. Gil program for the coming year, and to draft constitution un- der which it will operate.
 New officers of the first Stu dent Council will be elected in the near future, Superintendent Smelling said.
 Since this is almer schools first venture into op- eration under student govern ment. we are watching the program very closely" MT. Smelling stated. The plan either works well. or it doesn't work at all. In three of the four schools in which l taught. a student govern ment plan worked out. In the fourth school. the office was forced 10 resume control. Thai could happen here. but I don't believe it will. I think that the Palmer school is we'll suited 10 a Student Council type of government"
 MT. Smelling outlined the ad- vantages of this type of control. He said it was principally suc- cessful because it freed the in- dividual teacher from the ne- cessity of being a taskmaster and watchdog and gave her time to do better job of instruction and to remain on better terms with her students.
 It was explained that under Student Council government, students make their own regula- tionS and rules, in conformity

Wasilla Teacher Says
 THEY DID IT IN '98, | CAN DO IT IN AZ

WASILLA - Think it's cold these brisk autumn mornings? Mrs. Gladiolus Getzloff, upper grade teacher in the Wasilla school, might be inclined to agree on that point. And no one should know better than Mrs. Getzloff, who is living in an unheated tent on the homestead she recently staked on Fishhook road along the shores of Paradise Lake.
 Mrs. Getzloff lives alone in her tent on Paradise Lake and trav- els by bus to and from her class room each day. She has only two neighbors, former CT homestead CTS, along the length of the lake.
 The Oregon-reared SC h teacher occasionally grows faint hearted as she ponders on the months of sub-zero weather just ahead. q sometimes wonder, in the morning just before I get up, when lie there and think of how my clothes are going to be cold and clammy to get into, if it's worth it. Then I look out the tent opening and glimpse beauti- full Paradise Lake lying there, and know it's all worth while" she says.
 Mrs. Getzloff' original plans did not include an Alaskan win- ter in a tent. She has a small house under construction on the homestead, which she had hoped would be ready by winter. How ever carpenters have been lured away to construction jobs nearer

Explains Gym Rules

In an effort to clear up the current misunderstanding now prevalent in the community with regard to the school control of the Palmer gymnasium this year, Superintendent Carl Smelling yesterday explained the purpose behind the rules announced this week.
 ''It is not our intention to deny anyone the privilege of using the gym,' the school head asserted. Our new ruling merely states that any meetings, basketball games or dances that are held there must be student spon- sored, and permission to use the building must be obtained from the superintendent. No one has been refused that right so far"
 MT. Smelling further explained that school control of the gym nasium means that all functions held there must be governed by rules of the board of education and by territorial regulations for the use of school property.
 Agreement forms which out line rules for the use of the gym are available for signature at the school office. Clubs, athletic groups and community organi- zations who wish to make use of the gymnasium for scheduled events this winter are asked to call for a copy of the use agree ment and to discuss their plans for the buildings use with the superintendent.

Palmer, Alaska, September 27, 1947
Road Is Soft, But. Passable

A 150-foot soft spot in the highway between Anchorage and Palmer slowed up traffic We'd nesday between the two cities. However the road was never closed because of the bad stretch.
 According to Clyde King, fore man of the Alaska Road Commis- sion here, a tractor. was station ed at the head of the stretch to tow stalled vehicles. The strip of road is located several miles below Chugiach Inn at a spot where construction work has been going on for the past few weeks.

home, and have left Mrs. Getz- loff eyeing a hammer and nails and her unfinished home with a speculative look.
 The unheated tent also was no part of her plans, when it did become evident that she would need to call the canvas shelter home for some time yet. The tent does have stove, but her one experience with that stove has convinced Mrs. Getzloff that she'd rather remain little chilly and keep the shelter she has.
 I've lighted it just once so far this fall," she said. "That time I set the tent on fire with it, and ruined my one winter coat when I used it to smother the flames. It was the one heavy woolen coat I had, and now there's big hole through the back of it."
 However the Wasilla teacher is undaunted by her experiences, and is determined that she will stay on her homestead and prove her claim.
 She says her pioneering in- stinct comes natural, for she is the daughter of a pioneer news paperman on the west coast. Her father published the first news paper printed in Caldwell, Idaho, and then later went to Napa, Calif., to publish one of the early papers there.
 From Napa he went to Port land, Ore, where for 40 years he was a member of the editorial staff of the Oregonian.

City Basketball Team Planned For Palmer

Although organization of an athletic association which would +sponsor all types of athletics in Palmer failed to develop at last Mondays scheduled meeting, plans were made for the organi- zation of city basketball team.
 Attendance at the recreation meeting, which was held in the Legion Clubrooms, was disap- pointingly small. Not more than a dozen men were present.
 However, Matt Perkins an- nounced his intention of spon- soring a town basketball team, to be known as the Shamrocks, during the coming winter sea- son. Art Stacey was elected man. ager and coach of the group and preliminary plans for the selec- tion of a team were outlined.
 It was decided that the Sham rocks squad would be limited to 10 or 12 men, to be chosen in court try-outs. Date for the mi tial turnout has not been set, but it is expected to be within the next two weeks.
 Details of that first practice session will be announced later ' cs E.-anager Stacey. At present, a gymnasium schedule of prac- tice times has not yet been worked out.
 MT. Stacey said that compe- tition for the Shamrocks is ex- pected to come from Post teams, the Anchorage city league, visit ing teams coming to Anchorage to play, and from the local high school squad.
 No definite schedule will be drawn, but games will be booked whenever possible.
 MT. Stacey said that there still may be an athletic association organized here, if interest is ex- pressed. Such an association would sponsor year-round ath- letics in the Valley.
 It is also possible that a Mat anuska Valley basketball league will be organized little later in the season. Prospective entering teams would include church team, the school team, a team from Wasilla and one from the mines.

STUDENTS FIX GYM:
 SET OF RULES LISTED

. Boys and girls of Palmer high school today are busy with paint brush and mop in concerted effort to tidy up the school gym- nasium and locker rooms, which are being administered under school control for the first time this year.
 Students already have sanded ! job on the old softwood floor <, to the gymnasium floor. Still third coat is to go on, before the job o nthe old softwood floor will be complete Although stu- dents have worked willingly and well, the gym floor, where all local basketball games are play ] ed, is still far from an excellent playing surface.
 School heads have expressed the hope that regulation hard wood playing surface can be laid in the school gym before another basketball season rolls around. In addition to the work in the gym proper, which also has been treated to a new coat of paint, students are cleaning and paint ing locker rooms and showers, which were in a bad state of dis repair at the beginning of the school term this fall. Because of destructive acts and vandalism to the school premises l which have occurred in the past ! when public dances are held in the gymnasium, Superintendent , Carl Smelling has been forced to inaugurate new policy for use of the gym this year.
 The new policy of control, as outlined by MT. Smelling, in- cludes these points:
 (a) All dances held in the
 school gymnasium this year
 must be student-sponsored.
 Outside groups may obtain
 student sponsorship for their
 dances and thus obtain admis-
 sion 10 the sym.
 (b) All outside groups must
 post $50 bond prior 10 the
 dance. to insure no drinking or
 abuse of the school premises
 during the dance. Any viola lion of any of these listed rules
 will forever bar the rule-break-
 ing organization from further
 use of the gym.
 (c) All groups holding dances
 in the gym this year must pay
 for a special police guard to
 be stationed in the gym during
 the dance. This is to include
 a policewoman.
 (d) No one will be permitted
 10 leave dances in the gym and
 re-enter the building later. Re-
 admission can be gained only by purchase of another ticket.
 (e) Smoking will be allowed in the lobby between the sym and the school plant and no place else. This latter ruling bars all smoking in locker rooms and lavatories. as we'll as in the sym proper.
 (f) All dances are to be time- limited this year. Special oc- casion dances. for which per- mission must be obtained from the school. may continue until a. m. Other dances may not extend beyond midnight.
 '"The boys and girls are working hard to get their gym in condition" MT. Smelling stat el. "In return, we are doing ev. erything we can to protect it for them so that they can have a good place for their basketball games and where they can con- duct their own dances. We make these rules because we want to assure their parents that student in the school will be conducted on a proper basis"
