Top Enrolment Is Expected
 At Scout Camp

An all-time high in camp reg istration was expected at Kings Lake this week, when final fig ures are compiled on the en- rollment of Boy Scouts. The first Scouts began to check in at Kings Lake at 3 o'clock last Sunday afternoon.

Two classes daily are to be given-a lesson period in the morning under the direction of Steve Wells, and a for-fun water session in the afternoons relaxation period. It is the aim of this years camp instructors to make every Scout thoroughly at home in the water before he leaves the camp.
 Five new members of the Or der of Arrow, national Scout fraternity, will be pledged dur ing this weeks camp.

Airport Gets Oil Allotment

An additional $500 barrels of Diesel oil has been allotted to the work at Palmer airport, Association secretary R o a n d SnodgraSs announced this week. For a time it was feared that a threatened oil shortage might hold up the development here.
 In the meantime, work on port runways continues to progress. However MT. Snodgrass requests that those runways be restricted to the use of airplanes only. He comedies that the airstrips are the smoothest highways in the area, but he frowns upon the recent practice of utilizing the runways for joyriding.
 Aside from the wear and tear on the strip, there is consider able hazard to the automobiles involved. There's still no case on record where an automobile came out of a plane-auto col. lision in first class condition.

HOSTEL CYCLISTS CAMP OVERNIGHT IN PALMER
Group Of Nine Plans 6OO-Mile Jaunt
 Through Territory; Will Bike To Willow, Valdez

Nine hot, tired and grimy bi- cyclists pedaled Wearily into Pal mer last Wednesday evening to finish the second lap of what is to be a 60O-mile Alaskan bike trip. The nine, all members of the American Youth Hostel, had disembarked from a steamer at Seward on Saturday, had ped aled to Moose Pass and thea boarded The Alaska Railroad for ride to Anchorage.
 They left Anchorage Tuesday, riding as far as Eagle River where they camped for the night. Their plans, in true Youth Hostel tradition, call for outdoor camps and campfire cooking all during their Alaskan tour. And during their months stay in the terri tory they must subsist on an al loWance of S1.35 a day per per son. That's daily increase of 35 cents over states allotments, a concession to the high cost of living in Alaska.
 After camping on Palmer's fairgrounds Wednesday evening, the Hostel party left Thursday, en route to Willow. They planned to bike all the way, and then to again board a train for a lift to Mt. Mckinley, where they will tour the Park on their wheels.
 From the Park they'll ride by train to Fairbanks, where they plan to cycle down the Richard son Highway to Valdez, there to take steamer for home.
 Each cyclist carries a pack, which averages from 25 to 35 pounds in weight, and which in- cludes his bedroll. The nine young men and women repre- sent the first trip to Alaska for the American Youth Hostel. It will not, however, be the first long-distance bike trip in the ter ritory, for two Fort Richard son women employees biked from Anchorage to Fairbanks in 1944. It took them 10 days to make the trip, and they were forced to camp out only twice along the entire route.
 The Youth Hostel plan has been formulated to promote un- derstanding and good will among young people everywhere. The plan is well developed on the continent of Europe, where hos tel shelters are erected a days bicycle journey apart. It will be remembered that the former Miss Peggy Elefson, Palmer, second grade teacher last term, cycled through France on a Youth Hos tel tour last summer.

The above shows a Holmes
county negro family paying their
real estate mortgage in full to
local Government employees.
Five years ago, 1914, this family,
tenant or share-cropper had a
net worth of approximately $500.
and as of this date has net
worth of $10,889.59.
Henry Woodland made applica-
ton in 1914 through FSA for a
loan to purchase home. This
application was approved by
Holmes County FSA committee
j. D. McKie, chairman, c. l.. Dow
ner and Lutte S. Ellison. A tract
of land two miles southwest Of
Mileston consisting Of 990l acre
was optioned by Henry. This tract
was appraised and loan made
to Henry then by FSA, now FILA,
in the amount of $6,78100, which
included price Of land and con-
struction price of residence, barn,
smoke house, poultry house, and
well. This loan was amortized
over a period of 40 years by the
government bearing three per
cent interest with annual install
ment of $293.35.
If this loan had gone full forty
years, the borrower would have
paid $6,781.00 principal and
$4953.00 interest or total OF
$11, 73400. This family did not
do that. They have followed

One Of the brightest stars OF
the entertainment world is gone.
She was ELISA Landi and was not
heard of so much during the last
few years because she had been
living at nearby Kingston, New
New York, now and then writing
a book and teaching at New
York's City college. She was re-
markable in her versatility, hav-
ing beer a success on the stage,
screen, and radio, and then going
on to become quite good author.
I remember in the 1920's seeing
her in a very romantic motion
picture entitled ''It's Always
Goodbye" words that are now
all too appropriate.

with considerable trepidation. He
decided to wait one month be-
fore trying to patch up the gap

happen. At the end of the month
he could notice no change in his
business. Sc he laughed the
whole thing off, forgot about it,

With the close of National Let
ter Writing Week one cannot
help but think of the importance
of letters. Not too long ago our
servicemen throughout the world
were letting it be known that
they desired letters from home
more than food. People who are
separated from each other can
do a lot to alleviate the remote
ness by dropping each other a
line more often than just now and
then. 1t is not so much what one
writes or how much. Jut a sim
pie postal card, which costs only
a penny, can carry enough words
to bring happiness to those who
receive them.

Recently two cousins, MIR. ana
Mrs Raymond North of Detroit
dropped in to see us. They had
been in New York before, in fact
have made it a point to travel
all over the country, but their
impressions of the big city on
this visit are interesting. They
thought: New York is a good
place to visit, a lousy place to
live: that so many people IN one
place cause an electrified tension
which makes it hard to relax;
that apparently New York is an
easy place in which to spend
money. a harder place to make
it: so they were glad after a round
of Broadway shows and sight
seeing to catch their breath IN
suburban Crestwood, although
they had some difficulty in find
ing this place.
