Phone Exchonge Signs Contract For Distance Calls

The Matanuska Valley Tele- phone Exchange has negotiated a contract with ACS which per- mits direct long distance tele- phone service from any private phone in Palmer, it was an- nounced this week by owner Maynard Sands. The city of An chorage is now in the process of completing a similar contract with ACS.
 Aside from the privilege of making a long distance call from the privacy of a home telephone, the new service means a direct wire between Palmer and An chorage, MT. Sands continued Heretofore long distance calls have been relayed to Anchorage via Alaska Railroad way sta- tiOnS.
 The new policy will not make too much difference in Palmer,s calls to the outside world, &C., cording to the Exchange owner. Before this contract was con- pleted the local Exchange han dled the calls at cost, and as- sumed full responsibility for col lecting the charges for ACS.
 Palmer has long been in con- munlcation with the large cities of the states, it was reported. A number of calls have been con-

pleted between Palmer and New York City and Palmer and Washington, D. c. On one such call to the capital last week, the Palmer businessman reported he could "hear Washington as plainly as if it were just across the tracks"
 The most complicated call the local Exchange has been asked to make has been a call to Aus tria. It was later cancelled be- fore it could be put through, but MT. Sands said there was no equipment limitation which would have prevented it's con- pletion.

COFFEY INSURES EVERY THING-REMEMBER2
Evening star., 1949-09-08

DEAR MISS DIX: Why is it that
my husband is so quiet at home,
but if we go anywhere or any one
comes into our house he seems to
do all the talking and joking? He
is the same about children. Our
boy mustn't make any noise and
his father is always finding fault
with him, yet he plays and jokes
with other children. B. F.
Answer: Nobody can explain
this popularity of husbands, B. F.
They are just that way.
Many a man who is the life of
the party when he goes abroad is
a wet blanket at home. Many
a man who sets the table in roar
when he is dining out never opens
his mouth at his own table except
to put food in it. Many a man
who pets and coddles other peo-
pies children regards his own as
brats.
Perhaps he considers his wit
too scintillating for home con-
sumption. Perhaps he is too lazy

Clubs
Soroptimists Told
Of Summer Trips
At Luncheon
By Frances Lide
Womons Club Editor

Don't suggest making a trip to
q member of the Washington
Soroptimist Club-unless you ex-
pect her to take you up on the
idea.
Mary Bourke went to Europe
on a weeks notice-which gave
her time to buy nylon underwear
("because it dries while you are
saying your prayers") and hair
net before sailing.
And Lorraine Leese Good was
playing gin rummy with a friend
one night when they suddenly de-
cided it would be nice to go to
Mexico. 1.-TWO days later we had
our shots-and two days after
that we were on our way" she
said.
Both told about their trips at
the Soroptimist luncheon yester-
day which was billed as sum-
mer roundup" and included the
announcement of an attendance
contest which also turned out to
have a travel motif. First prize
In the contest will be round trip
to Bermuda next summer.
Miss Bourke took her trip with
Mrs. Laura Waters, another
Soroptimist, who conducted sew
eral parties through Europe this
summer.
Mrs. Waters also shared the
program yesterday, giving brief
resume of conditions in Europe
and discussing plans for the PAS
sion Play" to be presented next
year at Oberammergau. There
is no sign of the war in Oberam-
mergau now" Mrs. Waters said.
"More people are trying out for
parts in the play than ever before
there are six for the role Of
Christus. Arrangements are be-
ing made for transportation, and
1900 beds are ready for tourists
right now"
Mrs. Waters, who is chairman
Of the ECA Committee for the
American Society of Travel
Agents, said the Marshall Plan is
well understood in Europe but not
so well understood by tourists.
'"Too many think of it as charity
rather than self-help program,
she commented.
Miss Bourke's trip developed in
to a sort of cooks tour from the
time she set foot on the Queen
Elizabeth. She's associated with
q hotel training school and her
"busman's holiday included peeks
at hotel kitchens all over Europe.
Mrs. Goods vivid memories of
Mexico included attending a 6
am. birthday party which she
thought at first was a revolution.
At Acapulco one morning, she
was awakened by the burst of fire.
crackers. Then we were told it
was Rosita's birthday" she ex-
planned. Rosita was one of the
girls at the hotel. The celebration
included dancing and your choice
of drinks-all at 6 am.
The Soroptimists also heard a
report from Miss Ella Werner,
regional director, on the forma-
ton of a new club in Greensboro,
N. c., the first in the State.
Miss Mary Judge presided at
the luncheon, held at the Willard
Hotel.

Youths Can Register
At NelU Locations
CONTINUED from mrs, page,

seems to be some misunderstanding
as to the place of registration. All
the young man has to do is pre-
sent himself to the local board or
registration place designated in
that particular area most conven-
lent in the place he happens to be
when he becomes Is. The registra-
ton process is simple and requires
only short time. The data thus
gathered is sent to the local board
of the community he terms his
home and which has jurisdiction
over him.
When the registrant has a per-
manent home, the permanent home
address should be given to regis
tration officials, DR.. Washburn aid.
For this purpose home" is the
place with which the registrant
normally indentifies himself and at
which he would wished to be clas-
sified.
DR.. Washburn pointed out that
there is no liability for service un-
der the Act until the age of 10 is
reached, but he emphasized the OBJ
legation to register at is.
''The law is specific" he said,
"and provides severe penalty for
failure to comply"
DR.. Washburn added that the
law is also specific in its require
ments concerning obligation of q
| registrant to keep his local board
informed as to any change in his
address-where he may be reached
by mail, that is-or change in his
status under the Act.
THAT applies after the registrar
becomes 26 as we'll as BEFORE" DR.
Washburn said, "and it means tha
college and university students, a:
/ we'll as other registrants, shoult
| notify their respective local boards
when they leave their homes. Their,
is no form for this. 1t may be don,
by mail or by personally appearin,
at the board office"
DR.. gWashburn emphasized tina
1.-THE requirements to register an
legal obligations of registrant
!. were in no way altered becaus
| there have been no induction
within the past few months.
