W0n0en's Clubs
Federation Of Women's Clubs Endorses
Mrs. Muqdeburqer for School Board Post

past worthy grand matron Of Jop.
pa Lodge, Order of the Eastern
Star.
The guest speaker at the morn
ing session yesterday was Miss
Melva Limo, professor of French at
Mount Holyoke College. She
stressed the importance of in
creased educational facilities and
said that education today faces
the same profile ms Of public
health and medicine.
Discussing the difference be-
tween general and liberal educa-
tions Miss Limo reminded her au-
dience of the old theory that a
liberal education was designed for
the privileged classes while gen.
eral education was only for the
worker. "a general education to-
day" she said, aims to be fluid
and dynamic. It seeks to develop
the individual emotionally, per-
sonally and socially"
The speaker said there are var
led approaches to education for
women today and emphasized .
new philosophy which holds that
education for women should not
be patterned on education for men
but should be designed with the
future life of the individual wom-
an in mind.
Before Miss Limos talk, Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley. chairman of the
legislative department, discussed
the work Of her group during the
past month. She distributed in
formation on the national health
program as it is operated in Eng
land and discussed the proposed
bills for similar programs in this
country now before Congress. A
resolution Ito object to socialized
medicine in any and all forms, in
cluding the national health insur-
ance and public health programs"
will be presented to the federation
next month.

Democratic
Women Hear
|Rep. Potnhon

A misplaced comma sometimes
can cost the Government a mil
lion dollars, Representative Pat
man, Democrat, Of Texas yester-
day told members Of the Woman's
National Democratic Club at a
luncheon meeting.
The Representative explained
that he had just left the House
and Senate conference on the rent
control bill, which accepted the
disputed definition of fair net
operating income for landlords. ="
IF this rent bill is passed the
housing expediter will have the
power to recontrol if rents get
out of line" Mr.. Patman said.
Apartment hotels will be put
back under control and local au-
thorities will have some power to
decontrol, although I doubt they
will want that rough monkey on
their backs"
Local decontrol would follow a
path from City Council, to Gov
ernor to expediter, according to
Mr.. Patman. The citizenry would
have q To-day notice before a
public hearing after Council &C
ton had been taken, he pointed
out.
II keep hearing the expression,
Let's get this and that out Of
politics. Mr.. Patman said. pol
itics represents the vehicle that
allows our Government to func-
tion. We must have it to put into
execution the finest government
on earth. Those persons who are
against politics are against Our
form of government"
The speaker, who is author of
"Our American Government: An
swers to 1,001 Questions" said the
lawmaking bodies are one of the
best means by which democracy
functions. "One might doubt a
government which depends on the
tickle mind of the American peo-
pie. but the resulting collective
mind works WELL" the Represent
ative emphasized.
II know our Government is the
best in the world and I don't
know that any basic changes can
be made in it," Mr.. Patman con-
tinued. Il want you to watch the
proposed amendment to change
the electoral college. The evil lies
in the word plurality. by which
the man receiving the most votes
will be President.
1--WE do not want a change in
the Constitution where there can
be S to 10 parties, as in France.
and the one getting the most votes
can elect the President
Mr.. Patman warned his audi
ence to watch persons on both
the extreme left and on the ex-
treme right. He pointed out that
he had gotten up, through the
Library of Congress, information
on the Evils of Fascism." Il can
see a lot of footprints of fascism
in some Of our organizations in
America" he said. The Aneri-
can people, $4,000 of them who
wrote to get this book from the
Government Printing Office, do
want to know about fascism."
The speaker and his wife were
introduced by Mrs. Charles F.
Brannan. wife Of the Secretary
Of Agriculture,

Shirt Shop
 Is EnIorqing

More space and less pay for the customer are the objectives now being sought by partners David Algarin and JoJe Hudock of Dave and Joe'S Shirt Shop. The pair are in the process of doubling their present shop space. When the remodelling is complete, they expect to add a power machine and a five-yard cutting table to their equipment.
 The partners say the new all terations are just another step forward in their move for state side prices in Palmer. They ex- pect the increased space and new equipment to add to their tailoring efficiency so materially that they'll be able to make mo- ticeable reductions in the prices of their finished garments.
 A new stock of woolen and ga- bardine materials also will be displayed in the enlarged shop.

Aluminium Firm Studies Skoewoy As Possible Site

JUNEAU - Establishment of a multimillion dollar metallurgical industry in Southeastern Alaska took a step nearer realization to- day with announcement by the Alaska Development Board that an Aluminium Company of Amer ica engineering party will arrive in Skagway soon to continue in- vestigative work.
 Plans of the aluminium con- pany call for development of a large block of low-cost power by diverting headwaters of the Yu- kon River to the SkagWay area. Water would be brought through the Coast Range from Lake Lin deman by means of a tWo-sec- tion tunnel and dropped hun dreds of feet to tideWater. Suffi- cient power would be developed in the initial stages to produce 400 million pounds of aluminium per year.
 The engineering party will study geology in the area which would be transversed by the tun- nels. The party will be headed by Dr. Warren J. Mead, head of the geology department at the Mass achusetts Institute of Technol- ogy.
 The announcement was made following conferences in Wash ington, D. c. between I. w. Will son, senior vice president of ALCOA, James P. GroWden, chief hydroelectric engineer for the firm, Under Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman, Alaska's Gov- ernor Ernest Gruening and Geo. Sundborg of the Alaska Devel- opment Board.
 The total investment in the SkagWay area by the Aluminium Company would be S30O,0OO, O,000, all private capital. Establish ment of allied metallurgical in duStries would boost substan- tially the total investment. It has been estimated $130, 100000 would be used to construct a town to house upwards of 50,000 persons.
