You Can Give Your Home an 'Unc|uttered Look
By Gladys Miller
Secretary, New York chopter
American Institute Of Decorators

Out in Texas, where the wide
open plains give one a feeling that
space Is limitless, decorator has
furnished a living room with a few
large but exquisitely designed and
well placed pieces.
This room was planned as a
family room where all members
of the family could go for general
living, relaxation. entertaining,
working or dining.
A screened porch was enclosed,
leaving two brown shingle walls
to become the interesting feature
Of the room. The remaining two
walls are glassed in. entirely COW
cred in translucent white case
ment cloth draw curtains, hang
ing from the ceiling to the sill.
A box filled with replaceable
pots Of large-leafed philodendron
plants adds design and color. A
large, bleached walnut table placed
at one end in front Of the win
dow may be used for buffet sup
pers, seated dinners, or it may
serve as a work or game table.
Interesting, comfortable and
easy-to-move stools lacquered ir
the brown of the sinngle wall,
and upholstered in brown with
broad white stripe appliqued
the center, substitute for chairs.
To some of you, these stools
will seem a poor substitute for
chair, but if you are physically
active. if you ride, play golf, gar
den or dance, your own back Is
sufficiently strong, especially If
the stool is the correct height,
and the top is sufficiently long
to give adequate support to the
knee.
The three armless sectional
sofas against the brown sdingle
wall are covered in a pumpkin
colored linen-like material that
tailors beautifully. The many sofa
pillows in brown. white and
pumpkin are placed conveniently
for individual use when needed.
In the meantime. they add color
and create a softening pattern to
the large sofa area.
In front Of the couches is a
long over-scale coffee table in
walnut. Large tables such as this
are becoming the focal point in
many rooms, taking the place of
the fireplace Of old. It becomes in
family room, the catch-all for
magazines, books, papers.
You very likely will see it in
its pristine state only when the
decorator places it, or you are ex-
pecting company. and want your
room to appear clutterless.
Armless chairs so perfectly de-
signed that when sitting in them
you do not miss the arms are

Skilled are Insured
For Polio Patients

Each year following the March of
Dimes, annual Embarrassing cam
paign of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, funds are
set aside for three main purposes;
patients care, research, and educa-
ton. In 1949 the School of Nursing
at billiard University, New orleans,
Louisiana, was one of the first in
stitutions to receive an education
grant, $125,000 being appropriated
for nurse training for a five year
period.
In addition to the billiard award,
more than $166, 900 has been spent
by the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, during the past
few years, for scholarship aid to 124
Negro award winners. These scholar
ships have been awarded in the
fields of health education, medicine.
physical theraphy, medical social
work, and orthopedic nursing.
The education program is an i'm
portant part of the work of the Ma
tlonal Foundation and a means of
insuring the availability of trained
personel for the skilled care needed
by polio patients. In the modern
care and treatment of this disease
thirteen professional workers play
important roles.
Your gifts to the 1850 March of
Dimes, January 1851, will enable
the National Foundation for Infan-
tile paralysis victims. Because of
the best available nationwide epi-
demic of 1949 and the consequent
depletion of the National Founda-
tons funds, everyone is urged to
make a generous contribution.

Upheld In $5O5, 900
Damages Suit

BALTIMORE - (ANP) - FEEDER
al Judge w. Calvin Chestnut upheld
last week Maryland's right to impose
segregation where comparable facil-
tiles are provided in $505,000 dam
age suit against the Bureau of Re-
creation and Parks. The suit,

plaintiffs, contended the park board
regulations for segregation of ath-
letic activities was unconstitutional
and a violation of their civil rights.

the present segregation policy was
plainly stated by the u. s. Supreme
court in 1896 and 1t is now the es-
tablished policy and practice in II
Of the As states, including Mary

Highway Patrol Says
More Liable To
Traffic Accidents

Pedestrians who are 65 years or
older are IL times as liable to be
killed in traffic as persons between
the ages Of 25 and A." Director H.
N. Kirkman of the Florida Highway
Patrol said today, in stressing the
necessity for elderly people to be
extra cautious in crossing streets.
Reasons for this appalling pedes-
trian death rate among our oldsters
are that they do not allow the time
to get across the street that their
slower pace demands, that they
sometimes try to hurry and fall in
front of approaching vehicles. and
that they do not watch carefully
enough for approaching cars"
Kirkman explained.
TOO frequently, elderly people
depend upon vehicles to slow down
or stop for them, not realizing that
the driver may not see them or
may not be able to stop in time to
avoid hitting them," Kirkman
warned.
Suggestions for crossing streets
which the Florida Highway Patrol
made included:
1. Look both ways before crossing
and be certain that you have time
enough to get to the other side of
the street before approaching auto
mobiles reach you.
?. Never try to cross at faster
than your normal pace as You may
fall or may not be able to walk as
fast as you expected.
8. Choose the safest crossings,
preferably where a traffic officers is
stationed or there is a traffic signal.
A. Never depend upon drivers to
stop for you.

More than 500 Valley children are expected to attend the fourth big annual Christmas party here that will start promptly at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The party, which is co-sponsored here annually by the Palmer mer- cants, will be held at the Valley theatre. Santa Claus will arrive down the chimney of a candy house, beautiful twenty foot Christmas tree will add to the scene and there will be gifts for all the children attending. Spe- cial gifts will also be presented to children whose letters to Santa Claus are judged the best.
 The big Christmas party will start with an all-comedy show for children only up to and in- cluding the seventh grade. Par ents are requested not to accom- pany their children inside the theatre as, with the large attend ance expected, there will not be enough room to accommodate both children and parents. At 4 pm. an extra showing will be held for other children and any parents who might wish to at- tend.

IRWIN FAMILY AMONG FIRST TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN VALLEY

The Don L. Irwin family, one of the first families here to cele- brate Christmas in the Valley, did not find it very different from their own Wyoming Yuletide fes- tivities. The Irwins, who came to the Valley from the Big Horn Basin country in Wyoming a year before the Colonists, celebrated their first Christmas here in 1884. They lived at the Matanuska Ex- pertinent station and it was no trouble to choose a beautiful Christmas tree from the many that dotted the countryside in those days. There was company for Christmas dinner, including teen-age boys who attended high school at the log school with the Irwin daughters, Stella and Ina belle. Don Jr. was four years old and it was joyous occasion for him.
 That was in the days when Palmer was not Palmer but was known as Worton. There were about four log cabins here with J. w. Felton acting as postmaster in the little log cabin that still stands behind his present Felton House. The M. D. Snodgrass fam fly lived here and occupied the log cabin home that is still on their farm.

James Hurley Is
 Elected President Of Valley Chamber

James Hurley was named presi- dent of the Valley Chamber of Commerce at an annual election of officers held at the regular Chamber meeting Wednesday of this week. Matt Perkins was elected to serve as 1851 vice presi- dent, and D. T. McMahon as cor responding secretary. Mrs. Betty Mears was unanimously reelected as recording secretary. Two di- rectors, elected to serve for two year terms, were Clair Stock and Jack Maze.
 The elections were held follow ing a discussion from the floor on the continuation of the Chamber here. Clair Stock, retiring presi- dent, brought up the question of continuing the Chamber here, at the December meeting, pointing out that on many occasions the Chamber was unable to transact business because of the lack of a quorum. At the meeting Wednes- day, MT. Stock said that the Val ley Chamber of Commerce plays a vital part in promoting the town and should not be discon- tinued. Other members who spoke for the continuance of the Cham Der included Carl Rasmussen, who suggested that stickers be given to indicate membership in the Chamber that could be placed on cars or in the windows of busi- ness establishments. M. D. Snod- grass also said that i've cannot afford the loss of the Chamber of Commerce here" MT. Hurley added that ''it would be a mis- take to ever abandon the Cham ber." Following the discussion, members voted unanimously to continue the Chamber here.
 Other business discussed in- cluded a proposed pamphlet to cover comprehensive information including pictures on the activi- ties of the Valley. The pamphlet is now in the preparatory stage. A committee appointed at the meeting Wednesday to arrange for pictures and a pamphlet cover was comprised of Miss Louise Kellogg, Carl Rasmussen and Matt Perkins.

Christmas Message to the People of Alaska
From IT. GEN. w. E. KEPNER, Commander-in- Chief, Alaskan Command


 Commander Chief Alaskan Command
 When the first Christmas downed the world held out new hope for peace on eorth This Christmas, almost two thousand years later, men Of good will everywhere are hoping, working and dying for the same ideal.
 To most Of the children of the worEd this part Of the globe is closely identified with the Christ mas season. A jolly old man named Santa Claus, Kris Kringe, or Father Christn1os, lives ct the North Pole. The realms of snow are his home, the reindeer are his means Of bringing joy to everyone.
 Surely the spirit that brought this happy YuIe.. tide fable into being is precious to adults and children alike It is the same spirit that we, os Americans, feel from the bottom of our heors- the spirit Of love and friendship, Of liberty and tolerance, Of "goodwHT thot is not merely O word in our language.
 On behalf Of myself and the members of my Conmond, wish to extend to all the people of Alaska my heortiest wishes for very Merry Christmos and Happy New Year.
