Five Teachers Fail To Sign
 New Contracts

Five of Palmer's schoolteach- CTS, four grade instructors and one high school, will not return to their classrooms next year, 1t was announced this week by Superintendent Carl Smelling. i The five, all of whom were of- fered contracts for the coming year, have resigned.
 Teachers who will be missing when schoolbells ring next Sep tember include Miss Jenny Skule, seventh grade, Mrs. Bar bara Smart, sixth grade, Mrs. Robert Seiber, second grade, Miss Mary Marsh, fourth grade, and Miss Jean Dickson, high school English instructor.
 Computed in percentage fig ures, Palmer's teacher mortality was less than usual this year, for the five resignations represent only 34 percent turnover. This is better average figure than that registered by the territory as whole.
 MT. Smelling said several letter acceptances already have been received for the openings, but to date no signed contracts have been returned to the sc h l board. Neither has a new super intendent of schools been ap- pointed.
 One of the letters of accept ance for an appointment has been received from the rural ag- riculture teacher, whom m the school board hopes to employ for the coming term. His letter reads very favorably," MT. Smelling said. He added that he considered it most likely the man would come. His credits now are in the process of clear ing through the office of the ter ritorial commissioner of educa- ] ton.

Many quiz shows on the air today present contents with questions which require particular knowl- edge to answer. Such is not the case with True or False, the pop ular radio quiz game heard every Saturday at 5:3O over WNLC and WNLC ,FM.
 In originating '"True or False" one of radios first quiz shows, ten years ago, Dr. Harry Hagen realized that listeners would be drawn to a question-and-a answer program on which standard replies could be given. pr. Hagen had a theory that this type of format would speed up the program and add to it's entertainment value.
 So he resorted to the familiar technique used in school tests, ci-
