Chinese proverb claims, but it cer-
tainly represents pretty penny in
costs, time, space and judgment.

ton, it is seldom desirable to re-
publish picture, so all Of the eff
fort, time and money expended is
for a single use.
Editors appreciate the interest
shown when readers suggest pub
lication of pictures. and they COM
ply as often as possible. But pub
fishing picture in newspaper is
not as easy as it may seem.
Pictures are
Pictures only worth

fies them as news and means they
should be selected for their news
value. Unless photograph is of
someone or some event currently
in the news, publication has little
or no meaning.
Assuming that picture has news
value, it then must be of such quail
ity 1t will reproduce well in the
paper. Many photographs which are
entirely satisfactory for an album
cannot be reproduced distinctly
enough to be recognizable in news
paper. Publishing such pictures is
a disappointing waste of space, ef-
fort and money.
There are other factors. too, such
as permission Of those in the pic

value or the amount of interest in
it among the papers readers, and
whether there is time to make a cut.

Even if timely but received too late

Auction Planned
 70 Provide Funds For Local Library

Plans for an ,evening-long auc- tion on Aug. 12, with all pro- sceeds :earmarked for the Palmer Library, were announced this week by Bill Rempel, committee chairman. The Library Benefit Auction, scheduled for the Palmer Gymnasium, is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Palmer.
 MT. Rempel said doors of the Gym would open at seven o'clock to allow interested buyers to in spect the auction merchandise. ~Auctioneer James Wilson will start his evenings duties at eight o'clock.
 Auction wares will include both new and old merchandise. At press-time the list included re- frigerators, stoves, household fur niture, livestock, farm equipment, and kitchen equipment.
 Chairman Rempel said the club would welcome additional contri- buttons. Kiwanis will accept any donation, from farm produce to the usable white elephants that everyone stores in his basement or attic. Heavy articles will be transported to the auction by truck by the Kiwanis Club. Small auction items may be left at Pal mer Drug Store.
 Anyone who wishes to contrib ute articles for the sale should phone Kiwanians Joe Hudock at Palmer 123, James Hurley at Pal mer 95 or MT. Rempel at Palmer 120.
 During the evenings auction on August 12, the planning committee will give away two merchandise doorprizes of $10 and $15 in value. They also ex- poet to have band music to pro- vide between-sales entertainment. Refreshments will be on sale at the auction hall, too.
 Tn Kiwanians who are in charge of auction arrangements include:

Civil Defense Fails to Interest Valley Folks

Since only four committee heads were present at last Mon days scheduled civilian defense meeting at Palmer School, little more than general planning was accomplished, chairman Walter Huntley reported this week. The four present again surveyed the assignment list and discovered that some of the required chores already are ably handled by units now in existence.
 It was decided that the Valley Volunteer Fire Association needs no further organization for it's de- fense job of fire-fighting. How ever there is need for more vol unteers in the department, for duties would be greatly increased if Palmer became subject to air attacks in the event of war.
 It was the opinion of the four committee members that single men, without family responsibili- ties, should volunteer to swell the roster of the Fire Association.
 Fire warnings will continue to be signalled through the towns two sirens. An afraid warning will be signalled by the special afraid siren installed at the Co., Op.
 system of alert warnir : practice drill have not ye n worked out. That job has 44ist priority on the committees list and further announcement may be expected within the next week or two.
 A power failure will be most effectively handled by trained MEA crews, it was decided. The defense committee will make no (Continued on Back Page)

An executive committee or three will share betWeen-board- meeting headaches of the Valley Fair Association, it was decided at Tuesdays regular meeting this week. The executive committee is made up of Clair Stock, Tom Lepak and Al Hagen. The com mittee was given power to make decisions for the total board, when it is judged such decisions cannot await board action.
 The fairs fence problem was resolved at Tuesdays meeting. It had been voted last week to purchase lumber offered at Goat Creek Mill for the planned fence. However, the lumber was not available when the board at tempted to complete the transac- ton this week. Because board members considered the erection of the fence of first priority, they voted to buy 1x6 and 1X8 sizes in seven and 14-foot lengths from Ketchikan Spruce Mills.
 Cost of the fence will be some what higher, because of the better quality lumber to be used, but board members feel it will be more than returned to the fair in the savings on admissions.
 Board president Stock an nounced that interest in the queen contest is decidedly sluggish. He instructed manager Robert Critics to plan some publicity for all con- testants, and to call meeting of queen contest managers, in an effort to revitalize the queen race.

HOME MILK DELIVERY PLANNED FOR PALMER
STAR MAIL ROUTES SPEED AIRMAIL LETTERS TO THE OUTSIDE

Mrs. Beatrice Huntley, Palmer postmistress, today pointed to the improvement in mail service that the month-old Star routes have brought to the Matanuska Valley. Of principal importance is the quickened transportation of air mail between Palmer and An chorage.
 Letters airmailed at Palmer, before II a.m., reach Anchorage in time to catch evening plane flights to the states, the post mistress explained. Airmail which goes to Anchorage on the after noon train does not leave for it's state-side destination until the following day.
 Mrs. Huntley announced the following mailing headlines from the Palmer postoffice:
 To Anchorage and waYpoints before II am. daily.
 To Chitina-before 10 am. each Wednesday.
 To Wasilla-before nine am. each Monday. Wednesday and 
 Friday.
 The new service has not speed ed mail delivery for Valley letter writers beyond Chitina and Cop per Center All mail routed up the highway beyond those points still must go to Anchorage for dis patch to proper destination.
 Mrs. Huntley added one other word of reminder to those who make use of airmail postcards These cards need only four-cent stamp. Pre-stamped airmail post cards may be purchased from the postoffice. Picture postcards also need only a four-cent stamp rather than the regular six-cent airmail stamp.

HIGHWAY, MINE ACCIDENTS INJURE EIGHT PEOPLE IN VALLEY THIS WEEK

A series of four disastrous ac- cidents on Valley highways and at the Evans Jones coal mine filled every bed at Valley Hospital earlier this week, and sent five patients by Army ambulance to the Fort Richardson Hospital. At least three of the accident victims were injured seriously.
 The first accident occurred Tuesday, when Thomas McGov- ern, crane operator, was hospital ized for cuts and bruises. MT. Me Govern, an employe of the Alaska Road Commission, was injured when his crane overturned. He suffered numerous cuts and bruises, decorations of the scalp and of one knee, according to at tending physician Dr. C. C. Bailey.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY FAIRS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

All merchants from whom prizes are being purchased also are to be urged to put prize mer- chandise, suitably labelled, on display at once.
 It was decided that the coro- nation ball will be postponed un- til Saturday, Sept. 2, and that queen contestants will be allowed to sell tickets until early evening of that day.
 A superintendents' meeting was discussed, and it was agreed that they would be called to confer with the fair manager on, Aug. 10. That meeting will be held in the former library at the Rec Hall, and will begin at eight o'clock.
 MT. Critics announced that all Bingo concessions for the fair are closed, since organizations al- ready have reserved all available Bingo space.
 Fair posters and the fairs pre- mium book for 1850 were present ed at Tuesdays meeting. Book lets now are being prepared for mailing to advertisers. Anyone interested in scanning this years list may secure a book from MT. Critics.
 It was decided that there would be no board meeting next Tues day. The next regular meeting of the fairs directors is scheduled for Aug. 15. That meeting will begin at eight o'clock in the ad- ministration building on the fair grounds.

FieId-Doy Program Includes Inspection Of Barley Collection

Although a complete program of next Fridays field day at the Matanuska Station was not avail able at press time today, Exten- sion Service agent Parker Lester sketched these highlights in the days program: =......
 Dr. s. C. Litzenberger will start the days demonstrations at 10 am., when he leads farmers on an inspection of the worlds collection of barley at the station. This planting includes more than 5000 varieties.
 Dr. Allan Mick will lecture on tie results of an investigation of the influence of nitrogen on po- tato quality.
 In the field of agronomy, Dr. Litzenberger will discuss rates and dates of seeding for cereals and forage.
 Dr. M. O. Babb, station horti- culturist, will report on the re- suits of varieties tests of lettuce and will discuss potato breeding.
 All farmers are invited to at tend the field day. All who come will share a potluck luncheon at the station at noon. Everyone is asked to bring one luncheon dish for this meal.

Wednesday, two vehicles hurtled off the Palmer-Anchorage High way at exactly the same spot near the Valley Concrete Products plant. The accidents occurred within 40 minutes of each other.
 In the first, Pvt. Jesse Warren ol Fort Richardson received in- juries to his right elbow and to his head. He was hospitalized for medical attention, and while Dr. Bailey still was attending to his hurts, five more patients were brought in for treatment of in- juries received in a highway ac- cident, which occurred at the same spot as the first. There was no relation between the two accidents.

ROUTE SERVICE IS INITIATED HERE
 BY COOP CREAMERY

Doorstep delivery of milk and other dairy products began III Palmer this week. The service is free. The milk route is operated by the Matanuska Valley Farm CTS Go Operating Association, and serves only downtown Pal mer at present.
 The plan has been inaugurated because retail sales of milk at the Co-Op Creamery will halt on Aug. IS, manager Clarence Bell said. After that date, all milk must be purchased from grocery stores or from the Co-Op's milk route.
 The daily delivery service is scheduled for the early afternoon hours. Driver Bob Kohoutek will deliver milk, cream, 'uttermilk or cottage cheese every day eX- cept Sundays and holidays.
 The business is operated on a daily cash basis. The housewife IS asked to leave the money for her dairy products orders in the milk bottle. Collection must be made daily, MT. Bell emphasized.
 Palmer residents interested in availing themselves of the deliV- cry service may have their names added to driver Kohoutek's list by calling the creamery, or by getting in touch with him.
 For the present, regular milk bottles will be used on the route. <, However the Creamery is plan ming to convert to paper bottles in the future, MT. Bell said. Equip ment is on order and should ar rive here in time for a switchover in early winter.
 Use of paper bottles will permit the Coop to serve greatly eX- banded milk market, the cream cry manager explained. Isolated communities can purchase air borne milk without the headache of bottle return. It is the freight on empty bottles, returned either by truck or by plane, which has made shipment of milk to other towns impractical heretofore.
 MT. Bell said the conversion to paper bottles is expected to elim- mate the Valleys summer prob lem of surplus milk. The ne containers also are expected ll lead to greater sales in the An chorage market. Lack of milk bottles has limited sales there in past years. The paper bottles also will be more easily handled in winter temperatures.
