that the maximum accumulation from heavy
storms over long period hasn't varied much.
Weather experts also point out that "as
pure as the driven snow is delusion.
On many occasions snow storms are started
by nature when super-cooled clouds are seed
ed with foreign-particle nuclei, such as dust.
Brown snow containing such particles has
fallen in Vermont. New Hampshire and other
parts of the world. Red snow, containing
either dust particles or minute organisms, has
fallen in polar regions.
Scientists have devised a method of per-
manently preserving fakes for study. They

 Harold Bonser. publisher of inc Cordova Times. is alleged to have made the announce nent. MT.

Bonser has absolutely no connection with the Matanuska Press and has no right to make any an nouncemnts concerning it.
 The story is unfounded and untrue. It serves but one pur- pose.

Palmer School Blood Typing Program Is First of Its Kind in All of US.

in the United States. There have been mass blood typing programs, but none of them, so far as we can determine, were confined to the school and operated as a part of the school program. We hope to have an article on the Palmer School blood typing program in 'Lab World" which is a publica- ton with national circulation to members of the laboratory and medical profession"
 The blood typing program in Palmer first gained impetus here under the supervision of Dr. C. c. Bailey about year ago. Dr. Bail ey interested the Palmer Kiwanis Club in the blood typing program, with the club sponsoring the pro- gram under the supervision of Dr. Bailey. The program was held in the gym at that time with more than 800 adults and children typed. Local nurses and women of the community volunteered their services to assist with the program. The records obtained at that time are now on file at Val ley hospital.

Pauls, assistant di- rector of the division of public health laboratories with offices at Anchorage made the statement in acknowledging $101 sent by the superintendent to cover blood typing fees collected from the Palmer students in the recent blood typing program held here
 The remainder of the letter to MT. Zahradnicek from MT. Pauls reads as follows:
 At this time we wish to thank you and your staff for your excel lent cooperation in this program, as it was only through their ef- forts and patience that the pro- gram was able to operate so smoothly and efficiently.

There are four choices for the Sec

Each participant is requested to
make two choices. For scheduling
and organization purposes, it will
be necessary for Miss Bauer to
have the names of the participants
from our school and their choices
by Wednesday, Nov. 1. Because
of the relatively small percentage
of our high school pupils who are
interested in engineering as a
career. it would not be feasible for
us to plan locally a complete engin-
eering conference. It is, therefore,
an unusual privilege for our own
pupils to be invited to participate
in the full, professional program
on a statewide basis. Let's provide
them the opportunity.
