NEITHER MAN IS SERIOUSLY HURT IN ACCIDENT

Clair Stock walked away from his fourth plane accident last Tuesday afternoon. The Valley restaurant-owner was a passenge., in the ship piloted by Jan Kos losky, which cracked up on a take-off at Snowshoe Lake. The plane was almost totally demol- ished, but except for multiple scratches, bruises and abrasions for MT. Stock and wrenched mus cles for MT. Koslosky, neither is the worse for the accident.
 The pair were returning from sheep hunt in the Klutina Lake area, located about 40 miles back from TaZlina. They had concluded their hunt (which was unsuccess- fuD and were coming home MT. Koslosky had stored extra gas at SnoWshoe Lake, and they landed there to gas the plane before con- tinuing on to Palmer. A com panion plane, piloted by Earl Brown with Clarence Bell as pas senger, also alighted at the lake for gas. The smaller and slower k(4o4IC AACSOIAdLCO C1IC LdhC-OAA SIAN0 cessfully and flew on toward Pal mer, expecting the swifter Kos losky floatship to overtake them.
 The Koslosky ship took off cas- fly, but just as the plane became airborne a quick breeze swirled over the top of the hill which rises at the end of the lake. The plane rose to an altitude of all most 150 feet, then faltered as it was struck by strong downdraft. Sensing that he could not gain altitude quickly enough to clear the hill, the pilot levelled the plane and turned back toward the lake, hoping to reach it in time for a safe landing.
 However the ship lost altitude too quickly and snagged float on tall trees growing beyond the rim of the lake. The contact with the trees hurled the plane to the ground on one wing. The impact smashed the fuselage like match sticks. The plane struck with such force that it snapped the stock of MT. Koslosky's rifle.

PoImer Firs+-Groders confound The Experts

By all the laws and regulations of population statistics, Palmer should have no more than 53 stu dents in it's first grade this year. But laws and regulations already were sadly askeW on Wednesday of this week, when 57 beginners had been pre-registered in the of flee of Palmer School at 4:27 pm.
 Other registrants are expected to struggle in until school opens next Tuesday, and other new and unregistered faces are expected to greet first grade instructors Betty Kreutz and Mrs. Thomas Mover when the school bell rings at nine am. on opening day. Superln- tendent William T. Zahradnicek ventured the guess that Palmer's first-grade class registration could hit 65 this term.
 A similar increase is expected throughout the school. In one day of record-keeping, "A new pupils were registered in the elementary school, between grades two and nine.
 MT. Zahradnicek wouldn't guess what the total school population could be expected to be this year.

CUBS PLAN CLEANUP OF SCHOOL GROUNDS AT MONDAY PACK MEET

Palmer's Cub Pack will make a cleanup day of it's regular monthly meeting on Aug. 28, Hugh Johnson announced today. Cubs will meet on the play grounds east of Palmer School at 4::30 pm. that day, he said.
 Every Cub who wants to earn credit for helping with a commit nity project should be present. Den mothers will keep an attend ance record on Cubs present. All boys who come should bring boxes or sacks in which to store broken glass and waste paper.
 After Cubs have polished up the school grounds in prepara- ton for the Sept. opening of school, they'll hold Olympic games to find the best athletes of the Pack. Sack races, three-legged races, standing broad jumps, re- lay races, broorHstick pulls, ball throws, and a tug of war will be held.
 There'll be bonfire handy, on which to- roast hot dogs and marshmallows. However each family group which attends must bring it's own food. MT. Johnson urged that parents attend with the Cubs. Cub Scouting should be family affair."" he said. "At least one parent of each Cub is urged to attend and to be with the boys at work and play"

Flyers, Valley Folk Join in Ceremony
 Dedieating Airport

Eliminating plans for the for mai opening of Matanuska Valley Airport at Palmer on Saturday, Sept. 2, invitations went out this week to all pilots and established airlineS in this section of Alaska, and to all Chambers of Com merce in nearby cities. Roland Snodgrass, committee chairman, said today that plans are almost complete for the Fair time cere- mony.
 A host of planes, among them DC-3s and possibly some larger planes, are expected to swarm through the skies to the Valley airport before the two o'clock ceremonies begin. MT. Snodgrass' committee is expecting so many visitors, either afoot, in autos or in the air, that he has requested official traffic control assistance to help manage planes and crowds.
 Guests of honor at the opening ceremonies will include members of the territorial aeronautics com mission, heads of the four original sponsoring organizations (the Loyal Order of Moose, Northland Pioneer Grange, American Le- zion and the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co-Operating Associa- tion) and possibly some military visitors of distinction. Chief speaker for the dedicatory cere r1ony has not yet been selected.
 Highlight of the afternoons ceremonies will be when four little girls, all daughters of a member of one of the original sponsoring organizations, christ en" the newly-completed field. The four, dressed in costume and armed with a sprinkling can, will sprinkle a selected location on the field with Matanuska river water to open the Matanuska Valley Airport to plane traffic.
 Girls who will participate in the ceremony include Terry,

 Surgery May Be Next For Coop Water Line

Even stethoscope failed to give a complete diagnosis of the ills of the Co-Op's water system yesterday. Frank Clark of the maintenance depart ment, and James Wilson, Co., Op manager, listened intently with the instrument at various joinings and branches but they still are not sure of the cause of the trouble.
 However manager Wilson has accurately spotted the ail- ment as just not enough water coming down the darned line" He's working back from that conclusion now to find out why.
 And while Go Op men search desperately for reasons, MT. Wilson soothes water hungry consumers with the thought that "at least, it's not getting any worse"
 The Coop manager said ev- cry effort would be made to confine cut-offs to the present hours-that is, between mid night and six am. He added that it might become necessary to shut off water without ad- vance notice, but every ef- fort will be made to avoid so doing. =- ....... ...
 Meanwhile reserve has been built that is adequate for fire protection and Palmer is in no real danger because of the water shortage.

taking root here in Japan too, where
formerly many valedictorians were

The change is reflected too in the

first obtain the permission of the
presiding chairman. The meetings
are conducted according to parlia-
mentary procedure.
These committees have served re-
markedly well in keeping the stud
ents we'll behaved, and Mr. Hashi-
motto told me that the punishment
meted out by these committee men,
bers on their fellow classmates who
have erred is oftentimes severer
than that which a teacher would
have recommended.
The students pay Y150 month for
a lunchtime snack which ranges
from imported powdered milk to
Japanese misc soup. For those
children whose parents are eeono-
mically unable to afford it, the PTA
is providing funds to cover the ex-
pense.
The walls of the various class
rooms are covered with charts and
maps and pictures drawn up by the
children Many were in quite de-
tailed form and showed the type OF
constructive thinking that is being
developed in this school and, we
hope. in every school in the coun-
try.
In the third grade classroom,
one boy was answering the ques-
lions of his classmates on fire pre-
vention. This lad had either cho-
sen or been delegated to study up
on causes of fires, and he had
drawn up a poster on which were
pictures of hot iron, defective
wiring, children playing with mat
ches and others illustrating causes
of fires. After he had given his
little talk, his classmates were ask
ing questions to clarity any vague
points and also to find out if he
had really covered the subject suf-
ficiently. The teacher interviewed
only when the lad at the black
board could not answer or when he
thought that certain point need
ed more explanation.
The fifth grade students were
making two-feet-by-four- feet maps
of Japan by rubbing tooth brushe!
dipped in paint over wire strainer!
over outlines pinned onto the card
board. The teacher explained tina
these maps could have been printed
outside. but he wanted his pupil
to learn the method by which map
were made and also he wanted II
save the money for things which
could not be made by the student
3 themselves.
