Square Dance Callers Leave Host of Fans Yearning for Return

MT. and Mrs. Elmer Butler will leave lot of ardent square dance enthusiasts without their week end callers when they git along home now to Salt Lake City, Utah, next week.
 Friday night, the Buffers will wind up the summer session of square dancing at Growers barn where young and old alike have joined for weekly do-ci-does and allemand lefts and all around the ring. Lately the rhythmic stomp ing of more than 80 pairs of feet have been testing the big wooden floor in the hay loft. With the Buffers in charge, elementary school children went through the paces with young grandparents, four-footers with tall six-footers; and they all had fun.
 The Buffers have also been packing them in'' at their square dance classes every Saturday night at Carpenters hall.
 Everyone is hoping that they will come back and make Palmer their home, so their square dance program can be put on perma- nent recreational basis. The But lers came to Palmer originally just for the summer. MT. Butler accepted a temporary assignment with the surface water investiga- tions branch of U. s. Geological Survey in Alaska. Acceptance of a permanent assignment at head quarters here will hinge on the decision the family makes after their trip home.
 Mrs. Butler said Monday that if the beautiful weather held on all week, the balance might hang heavily in favor of Alaska. Busi- ness interests in Salt Lake City are exerting bit of pressure in that direction, but the call of AL aska was strong even through the rain.

ARE YOUR FLuEs cLEAN2

Let's face Fire Prevention Week with our flues cleaned, Ray Lancaster of the Valley Fire Association suggested this week.
 Pointing out that October and November are the worst months for fires, he said that dirty, clogged-up flues consti- ute major fire hazard; clean ing them early in the fall is an easy means of fire prevention.
 Those who burn oil were urged particularly to examine their flues. Lancaster stated that oil heat is harder on flues than coal.
 Fire Prevention Week is ob- served from October 7 to 14.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Roland

on a disputed split decision tc
Rocky Marciano in 1850, returns

night to fight Dan Bucceroni OF

(The 10-round heavyweight
bout, scheduled for 10 pm. will
be carried on WMAL radio and

La StarZa, 24-year-old son of a

a return with Marciano. But that
will take a lot of doing. Rocky
is in line for a shot at the winner

ing chance against fighter who
packs a good right-hand punch
in his 180-pound frame.
La Starza belongs in the top
division of the heavyweight class,
a potential opponent for Walcott,
Charles and all the others. If he
takes care of Bucceroni in de-
cisive fashion, he may force bout
with one Of the boys up ahead.
