Ease Problems

Competition for high school
seacners show signs of easing
up In many teaching fields as
@result of the nations de-
Tense activities. At the same
Clm9' defense mobilization has
created even more severe
shortages of kindergarten and
elementary school teachers.
These conclusions are con-
tanned in recent survey pre-
pared for the Veterans Ad-
mlnlstration by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the De-
partment of Labor.
In many areas, high school
teachers are in short supply
sn specialized fields such as
nome economics and COM
usercial work, the survey
said.
High school enrolments are
expected to decline until about
1882 because of the drop in
Mgh-school-age population,

Daring this period, the de-
naand for teachers wilH be
knaited largely to replace
aa&nts for those who die, re-
taEe. or leave the profession.
However, defense work will
create other openings.
The serious shortage of
elementary teachers is .ex-
pected to continue at least
daring the next few years.

At Bettys'

We thought we would tell you about the new slacks and skirts that arrived this week, but de- cided you wouldn't be interested in maternity things.
 Then we thought of the very large assortment of mittens, in all sizes and colors, in wools, leatsers and poplins. But who wants to be reminded of winter coming down from the hills? We won't mention the beautiful new colors in all-wool and all-nylon loafer sox for the same reason.
 So we decided to tell you of the new gossamer sheer nylon gowns that just arrived - they are heavenly blue with fitted bodice, frilled skirt and dainty fuscia n.y. lon trim at neck and shoulder straps.
 The new pajamas are showing the influence of television on style, reminiscent of the lounging pj's of a few years ago. The coats are in geranium peacock, trim med in black with mandarin col lars; the trousers are black. Very smart looking, too.
 A few Jantzen cardigans, in the new shades of purple, brown. red and sapphire and also black, are here to match up with your skirts and slacks.
 Stop in and see some of these things-we know you'll envoy it. BETTY. Paid Adv.

 John Gaughan, attorney for AHA, addressing the City Council last night asked for and received a vote of approval and backing in the AHA plans to make the purchase of a home available to more people of Palmer. Gaughan pointed out the ap- proach of winter makes the sale of these homes important and that they are available to anyone they are not limited to veter- ans or residents alone, he added. Arrangements have been made whereby part of the down pay ments may now be financed. This will enable many more interested home seekers to obtain a new home now.
 Of the 25 houses built by AHA, only four have been sold. Eleven more are ready for occupancy or will be within the next week, with the remaining number to be completed in 30 days.
 MT. Elicit, AHA representative, will be in Palmer at the James Construction Company office on Sunday, October IA from IA p. m. Interested persons may con- tact him there or by writing the AHA in Anchorage.

New Committee spearheads Drive to Raise Hospital Pledge by January

A new civic committee was born at the Valley Hospital Asso- ciation's meeting with representa- tives from community organiza- tions held at the school cafeteria Tuesday evening.
 Called the Hospital Fund Rais- ing Committee, its very immedi- ate purpose is to raise through member organizations and its own initiative. the sum of $6,500 be- fore January l, 1852. This is the sum pledged by the community last spring as it's stake in the new Valley Hospital which is being planned through the hospital as- sociation and the Presbyterian Board of Missions.
 Mrs. John DeVries of the Val ley Hospital Association Board explained the purpose of the meeting to the representatives as- sembled.
 "If we're going to start build ing this hospital next year, we must have our pledge raised be- fore the final application for funds and approval goes to CD the Presbyterian Board of Missions, CD the Territorial Department of Health, and (3) the U. s. Public Health Service" she said. If the invitations to bid on hospital con- struction go out in February, that final application must go in by the middle of January

matched for a total of $100,000 Crittenden thought. It was agreed however, that immediate needs in getting the hospital started next year would be satisfied by the $6,5O0 pledge by January l., 1852.
 The architects preliminary plans as presented to the group assembled called for a one-story building totalling 14,0O0 square feet. It will have four wings, with the hospital oriented around their intersection. The maximum length of the wings is 90 it. Two of the wings could be expanded. The hospital is planned, Critten- den said, to allow the patients rooms the maximum amount of southern exposure and protection from the prevailing winds.

Delegates Fund Raising

Explaining that the members of the hospital board were doubly taxed with duties involving pres ent hospital maintenance and the tremendous amount of planning that goes into a new hospital, Mrs. DeVries tossed the problem of raising the hospital funds into the hands of the representatives as sembled. She insisted that the un- organized efforts of the individual organizations would not be en- ough; the overall drive had to oe spearheaded by a group that would make certain the S6,5O0 pledge was raised by January l.
 Ed Smith, representative from the Kiwanis Club and the Cham Der of Commerce, was elected by the group to be chairman of the committee. He was given the add ed duty of making up his own committee through volunteer / andI Tor command appointments" Miss Barbara Rumball of PTA was enlisted as an assistant.
 Will Need More Money
 As the evening progressed, It became apparent that Ed Smith had let himself in for job that could last not just couple ot months, but for several or maybe a wear. Architect Edwin Critten- den revealed that more would be needed from the community than the pledged $6,500. At least S5O'- 900 more would have to be raised if all the specifications called for in the 24-bed hospital, expand able to 45 beds, are included. At present. it looks as though there would be $440,OOO available m funds: $1O7,OO0 from the Board of Missions, $107,O00 from the Territory, $219,5O0 from Hlll-Bur- ton funds allocated to the U. 5. Public Health Service, and So,oOo from Palmer. Not all these funds, however, are available for the ac- tual construction. Subtract the equipment for the hospital and the fees involved in building, ana there is only $319,431 left for ac- +,,.1 construction. The plans call for s413,Oo0. Since federal funds are matching funds, an extra eso oon from Palmer could be

MAN OF COURAGE
In Jesus of Nazareth we see
courage at it's loftiest-not so
much a physical courage. as a
courage of the mind. a heroism
of the heart. This is the courage
we need today. when moral stand
ards are blurred, ethics dimmed,
and the demarcation between
right and wrong not clear. He re-
vealed courage by His belief in the
triumph of truth over error, by
His faith in His disciples. by pro-
claiming His Messiahship. To us
today He says: Fear not"

The State Department released
the note today. It was delivered
to the Soviet Foreign Ministry
yesterday.
Specifically, the United States
rejected as baseless Russian
charges made November 81 that q

The United States said that
