Geologic Survey Opens Permo-Frost Office Here In Valley

IldIIlS Illc ScCIS 111o CO Soop into the phone at the newest office of the U. s. Geological Survey, which recently opened in Palmer. The office, trans ferred from quarters at Ladd Field near Fairbanks is headed by Robert Black, geologist in charge.
 MT. Black is assisted in his perma-f frost investigation by Mrs. Black and by Mrs. Norma Ray, section clerk.
 The job of the AT and PF Section isn't as aWesome as the name would indicate. In fact, that job probably is going to mean lot to many future Alas kan settlers. If MT. Black and his co-workers find out all the things they're looking for, and if the prospective settler will listen to what Mir. Black has to tell him, he's much less likely to find himself attempting to farm a bit of ground that's first cou- sin to Knik glacier, than some of the Valleys early day farm CTS have.
 The AT and PF personnel are hoping to find out how perma- frost areas got that way, why they're found where they are, and what makes them act the way they do.
 Studies will be of particular help, since the geologists, who will be studying from a geologic point of view, intend to see what the perma- frost areas have par ticular affinities for. such as hills or valleys, streams, roads or building areas.
 Some perma-frost areas just can't hide themselves, even if they try, MT. Black says. He can peek into the future, too, and tell farmers what's likely to hap pen if they strip the forest and tundra cover from land in per ma-frost regions.
 MT. and Mrs. Black intend to conduct investigations in the Matanuska Valley until August, when they'll hand over the keys of their office, upstairs in the Wright Building, to Dr. William Benninghoff, now en route to Fairbanks.
 The Blacks then will fly to Point Barrow, where they'll spend the winter studying-not perma-froSt this time though. They're going to dig into the mineralogy of ground ice up there. since they don't think there's much that even a geolo- gist can do about perma frost at Point Barrow.
 However the local office will remain open on a permanent and year round basis, MT. Black assures. At times there'll be one

Folk Music
Holds: Special
Public Appeal
By Alice Eversmon

In this era, when modern ten
dencies in music composition
have been acclaimed as discov-
ering new paths Of expression and
enlarging the technique Of writ
ing, the revival of interest in the
early classic forms and in folk
music is significant. Just what
it means is not clear as yet. But
the fact remains that the pure
line of classicism and the SIM
plicity of folk music both hold an
answering appeal for the gen.
eral public. Many recital pro-
grams recently have explored the
little known literature of the
earliest periods. disclosing treas
ures of great value.
Folk music has a place all its
own in the public's affection, Tor
it is woven into the life and
progress of all nations. One Of
it's greatest exponents, Burl Ives.
will bring the results Of a life
time search among the out-of-
way corners of this country for a
program in Constitution Hall on
March /. The story of his travels
and investigation has been told in
his book, "Wayfaring Stranger,
which he will autograph at one
of the local bookstores during
his stay here. Through his re-
recordings. radio appearances and
as star of the Disney film. so
Dear to My Heart" he is well
known to youngsters and adults
alike. Patrick Hayes. who brings
Mr.. Ives, said he has had to
apologize to over 100 irate moth
ers who complain that his recital
is staged for an hour when most
of his audience Is In bed" Mr..
Hayes promises to arrange q
matinee for the next time Mr..
Ives comes.
Speaking of children, the Ma
tional Federation of Music Clubs
is sponsoring three scholarships at
the famous Apollo Boys Choir
School of Dallas. Tex. The Dis
trict of Columbia Federation has
been invited to participate in the
additions. The one whole, and
two partial scholarships, offered
are open to boys between 9 an IA,
whose voices are unchanged.
Coleman Cooper, founder and di-
rector of the choir learned many
of the age-old secrets OF training
boys voices from the Vienna Boys
Choir, whose guest he was in 1887.
The Apollo Choir has filled nearly
900 engagements since its organ
ization in 1895.
Sad news comes from the Au-
gust E. Mascara. director OF the
Boys Club of Washington. The
lack of facilities, shortage OF oper-
ational funds and personnel
deficiency makes it necessary to
abandon the National Instrument
tai Contest. This is indeed a pity.
for applicants for the contest have
increased in number each year.
The stimulation offered under this
sponsorship to the study OF music
is invaluable. AS instance, Mark
E. Walker, now a member OF the
Marine Band, writes, 1T was with
much delight that I carried on
my valuable prize-as a result OF
the contest. quite a few oppor-
ftunities have been given me to
play for various audiences. The
contest is valuable not only to the
winners, but to every one who
takes part-who can tell how
many your contest may push to
the top. It is one of the best youth
activities which Washington has"
None of these plans that aim at
helping build a musical conscious
ness in young people should be
discontinued. Money for such a
purpose would be we'll spent and
bring great dividends.
