BEAUTY HINTS

THE TWO BEST COSMEIICo
Strangely enough, the two best
cosmetics are not tangible things
such as water, soap and ungents.
They are things of the mind,
perhaps, things Of the soul.
Beautiful women may be plain
of feature and with no special
allure Of complexion. Yet, they
star when II comes to the regard
and esteem of men. Believe it
or not, kindness and sympathy
are the two best cosmetics a wo-
man may use.

MORE THAN MONEY

With the world gone mad In
the hectic pursuit of money and
the things 1t buys, we forget
those assets which are valued far
above and beyond wealth. Peo-
pie are hungering not for bread
so much, as for love. 1t is said
that the old are more in need of
love than a shawl. 1t is good to
remember that, "a little thought
and a little kindness are often
worth more than great deal of
money"

 It was further announced that the P-TA would sponsor a pie booth at Colony Day, would plan to have an exhibit at the Valley fair this fall, and would assist the school in preparing displays of school work at the fair.
 Reversing the usual order, the entertainment portion of the evening had preceded the busi- ness session at the meeting. Children of the first grade pre- sented a spring pageant, and Capt. Salvatore Pelle of Fort Richardson lectured and showed films on the atomic bomb.

P-TA SETTLES MANY MATTERS IN 3-HOUR FINAL MEETING

next school board meeting, to be held on May 10, she said. Again those in attendance protested, calling for definite action and investigation. It was reported that none of the teachers who had been dismissed was opposed to investigation of the matter.
 To end the discussion, Mrs. Schaefer asked Jack Maze, one of the protesting group, to head a committee to meet with the school board and request an an- swer to their questions. Mir. Maze was besieged with volun- teers for committee duty. His final choice rested on Clyde King, Jr., Paul Martin, James Hurley, Bernard Bouwens, Ralph Moore, MT. Curtis and Viola Daniels.
 In other business, Charles Dill lon reported that the P-TA sponsored "Matanuska Min strels" had grossed $41S.2O. The money will be shared by the teen-agers and the P-TA. Mrs. Schaefer announced that the P-TA's share would be used to purchase playground equipment or other needed articles for the school. Mrs. Victor Johnson was named head of the committee to make the selection for the P-TA.
 Mrs. Schaefer announced that two Girl Scout troops had been organized under the leadership of Mrs. Ed Blom and Mrs. Her man Turner The Scouts are meeting in the basement of the Church of God.
 The matter of district incor- poration came to final vote, after letter from Dr. James Ryan, commissioner of educa- tion, was read which said no school construction was possible in Palmer this year, from terri torial funds. The group unani- mously approved the presenta- tion of incorporation petitions.
 Superintendent Francis Nal colm reported that six new swings had been ordered for the school playground, and asked for an expression of opinion from the group on whether more swings were desirable. The

Everything from atomic pow CT to discussion of health edu- cation for Valley children occu- pied the time of the record crowd which attended P-TA last Tuesday evening, to sit through a record making three hours of meeting.
 At what is scheduled to be the final meeting of the year, retir- ing officers packaged up all odds and ends of dangling business before turning over the reins to incoming officers, who were in- stalled by Mrs. Hugh Dougherty, past president of an Anchorage P-TA chapter.
 Of chief interest to the many Valley folk who attended, was an impromptu discussion of dismiss sals and resignations of two- thirds of Palmer's teaching staff.
 Parents were critical of the action of their school board, and asked for clarifying information, in order that they might better understand the existing situa- tion. AS Paul Martin put it, "Ru- nor continues and people are being hurt unnecessarily. The school board has been elected by us, and the school board should answer to the town of Palmer. I, personally, do not care to go and visit over a cup of coffee and learn nothing. I would like a sincere and honest answer. I am sick of rumor and more rumor."
 Mrs. Charles Schaefer, retiring P-TA president, pointed out the organization had no jurisdiction over the school board, and was not free to question it's actions, since Association bylaws clear ly forbid interference with the school administrative policy.
 Mrs. Victor Johnson suggested that the discussion be tabled, since it was outside of P-TA jurisdiction. However she was overruled, as parents rose from all over the hall to voice their protest against the school board ruling. No member of the school board was present to defend the action of that body.
 Mrs. schaefer suggested that parents go as individuals to the

San.a Misses Arctic Island; Porierhouse Steaks Anyway

STONY PLAIN, Alta. Dec. 24--
 -tN-Santa Claus missed Mould Bay on his trip south from the Arctic this year, hut there1l be a Merry Christmas in that lonely weather station nonetheless.
 That was the word from Dean Hilley of Washington, radio op- erator-technician at the outpost, l,6O0 miles northwest of Edmonton on an island in the Arctic Ocean Ee is one of seven stationed there
 Over the ham" gradio station of Ray Keitges, grain elevator oper- ator in this town Is miles west of Edmonton, the weather men were interview yesterday.
 Besides Hilley, stationed at Mould Bay are: Tom Joines, Auck- land, N. g., officer in charge; Don Wiggin, Denver, Colo, Executive officer; Perry Ladd, Chazy, N. Y., cook; John Warren, Harrington. va,. mechanic; Bob Mckay and Roy Hayward, Toronto, radio op- orators.

But it is known they travel exten- ively. Bates work will make them leave a forwarding address.
 The big reason shrimp trawlers meet with such success is due to an unfortunate aspect of the shrimp himself-that is, unfortunate for the shrimp. He swims backwards, ard that does it.
 WRONG WAY
 When the large drag comes scraping along the bottom, most ground fish scurry ahead and to one side for safety. The shrimp gets scared too, so he starts out. But the unsophisticated fellow just swims backwards right into the seine, and he knows nothing more until he turns up in cocktail, or q can.
 Lots of bottom fish get in the travis as well, however, and Dinner has many specimens of horse fish, transparent sole, many nameless varieties, and others. He doesn't know if they might be good to eat. The man who ate the first oyster doesn't live in Petersburg.
 Mcdonald laid out his proposed pot desg for Dinner to experiment further. Both men believe a new field might he in the making ii prospects turn out. Tho FW5 is working on the saae idea, aEd among the three. a new industry seems in the making for Southeast Alaska.

The reversing quality inherent in the familiar little shrimp enables him to Le captured easily for cock tails and salads by trawlers, but the grandiose fellows known as ''prawns" are different story.
 The big boys-some as high as nine inches long in the shell = usually live among the reefs and rocks, thus preventing trawlers from tackling them, because their drags would be ruined in just one pass.
 So an experiment is going for ward to build pots to capture the delicious fellows, and is under way in Petersburg ty Earl Dinner, owner of the Glacier Seafood Com rany there, and who has been pull ing shrimp up from the bottom since 1917.
 With him in this pioneering work is L. G. Mcdonald, fishery super vi.or on the staff of c. L. Anderson, director of the Territorial Board of Fisheries in Juneau.
 Attempts have been made before to capture prawns on the level bot toms where the standard" variety are abundant, but without success. One day a shrimper would drag up many, the next they'd be gone. And while demand is tremendous for them, because they have the Louisi- ana prawn backed off the table so far as flavor is concerned, the at tempts had to te abandoned.
 POT" IDEA CONCEIVED
 Then George Murphy of Tenakee Inlet thought of an idea patterned after the pot used in the Gulf state for capture of the "big 'uns." He huilt one, and experiments at one time brought 9Co to the surface The largest weighed Is to the round.
 Dinner seized upon the idea, and began further experimenting. He loves to pioneer a new idea; in fact, he came to Petersburg fresh from the western plains and began dragging for shrimp when everyone knew it was impossible-there wasn't any shrimp there. He proved the popular fancy wrong, and today Petersburg is noted as the shrimp capitol of the entire Pacific Coast.
 Today some seven or eight trawl- CTS work out of Petersburg, four out of Wrangell and one from Craig. They make a three-hour t,awl, with two or three sets a day. Only time they knock off IS during the breeding season between February Is and March 1.
 Chmer employs some 12 shrimp "pickers" who shell from 40 to 80 pounds each daily, receiving "A cents a pound. He once had an iron picker which was destroyed when his plant turned, but he is working on a new one, and expects to have it in operation-with inn provements-in the future. Coupled with this, his crab shakers" shell some 4,000 pounds of crab each day, receiving II cents each per pound.
 Dinner, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mcdonald are working now on new type pot which they believe will bring the big toys where they're wanted-on the consumers table. Mcdonald de- signed a 42-inch-long pot with fun- nel-like entrances at either end, with the narrow opening laid up and down, rather than sideways, which was the case in Dinners pots.
 ENTRANCE LIKE
 The shrimp get stuck in the side ways type opening, because they go in assuming their natural posi- ton, and can't get all the way. The newer type will forestall anybody blocking the entrance, Mcdonald believes.

 Questioned concerning t h e man who did not register during the designated registration days August 30 to September IS, 1948-because he was then on active duty in the armed forces, Mir Mccormick explained that he is required to register within 30 days of the time he was sep arated from the armed forces.
 Any person who changes from a status which did not re- quire his registration to status which does require it must reg ister promptly to be within the law" MT. Mccormick said, add ing that those who were out of the country on the registration days must register within five days following the date they re- enter the United States, which includes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
 MT. Mccormick said that non- citizens entering the Uni e d States for the first time are re- quired to register at a local board within six months follow ing the date of their entry.
 The maximum penalty for vi olation of any of the provisions of the Selective Service Act of 1948, MT Mccormick pointed out, is five years in prison or a fine of S1O,0O0 or both.
