FAIR QUEEN LIST STILL. GROWING

Joyce E. Hardage, IS, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Glen Hardage, Palmer is the latest Fair Queen registrant to enter the contest. Miss Hardage is a Palmer high school graduate, class of '5l and is employed at the Valley Hospi- tai. She has made her home in Palmer for the past two years, coming here from San Francisco.
 The Queen list now boasts six contestants. The girl who will be chosen queen will be the one who sells the most tickets as the de- termining factor in choice of Queen is the number of tickets sold. Although only 200 tickets are needed to qualify for the con- test, the selection of the Queen will rest on the number of tickets sold in excess of the minimum.
 Other Valley girls participating in the contest are: Agnes Bolok- ken, Billie Jean Roark, Hazel Barnhardt, Patricia Kirsch, and Joan McNeese. It is rumored that two of the girls have sold the re- quired amount of tickets to quail fly but as yet have not turned them in to the committee.

Council Considers Offers, Requests, Complaints, Reports

Announcement was made by Lloyd Severns at the special meeting of the City Council last night that approximately four acres of land would be made available by the ARRC to the city of Palmer for city admins tration building.
 No formal agreement had been reached between the Council and the ARRC, but in conversation with Manager Jim Hurley, Sev- erns, reported, it was learned that property directly north of the Fair grounds could be made available to the city.
 The city's housing need for ad- ministrative offices, a jail, and fire equipment garages is a press ing one, and search for temporary quarters has been fruitless so far.
 Would Open Night Club
 James Sumpter, former operat- or of the Village Bar in Anchor age, and Harold Koslosky appear ed in person before the City Council last night with an appli- cation for a liquor license and a night club to be located in the building recently vacated by the Dee-Jay Shop.

HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS REGISTER AUG. 27.28

Registration of all students en- tering Palmer High School this year will take place August 27 and 28 at the school office, Super intendent William T. Zahradnicek announced today. All students entering grades nine through l2 should register at this time.
 Only 38 first-graders were re- gistered last week according to school secretary Alice McCann. Previous estimates of first grade enrolment ran to 65 or more. Parents who did not get in during the week set aside for first grade registration should do so with out delay, Miss McCann urged. A great deal of confusion and overcroWding can be avoided if school administrators know how to plan for it.
 TWentythree new pupils enter ing grades two through eight were signed up in last weeks re- gistration.
 More Rooms This Year
 Meanwhile, construction on two additional rooms in the basement of the school annex was progress ing in very satisfactory manner. With only few doors yet to be hung and little more painting, it was apparent this week that the rooms would be ready for opening day. These two rooms and the two rooms above them, which were completed late in the last school year, make a total of four more claSsroomS available when school opens this year as compared with last years open ing.
 $28,000 Unfrozen
 Word that $28,O0O in Territorial funds appropriated for the school building addition by the 1949 legislature was recently "unfroz- en" brought signs of relief from School Board members. They have been pressed for repayment of loans made in anticipation of earlier receipt of these funds. As yet, however, no check covering the two-year-old appropriation has been received.

Maryland Senate Backs
Tax on Virginia Trucks
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 24.-The
Maryland Senate has tentatively
approved a plan which might lead
to a deal with Virginia over gaso-
line taxes collected on trucks.
Virginia now charges out-of
State trucks a mileage tax on the
gasoline they use just as if it were
bought in the State.
The Maryland Senate's bill
would charge the same tax against
trucks of all other States which
have such levies. Virginia is the
only one nearby.
The admitted effect of the bill
would be for Maryland and Vir.
ginia to make a trade-you don't
tax our trucks and we won't tai
yours.
The Senate beat off an attempt
to make the measure cover trucks
from all States and then sent il
along for final action today.

S365,0O0 for Schools
Asked by Prince William
By the Associated Press

MANASSAS, Va, Mar. "a
School Superintendent r. Worth
Peters has announced that he will
ask the Prince William County
Board of Supervisors to approve
a $365,000 school building pro-
gram for the county.
Only $97 900 of the outlay would
come from county funds, Peters
said. The rest would be provided
by the State.
Peters said increased enroll
ment could be expected to double
the demand on facilities in Prince
William Schools within the next
five to eight years. The present
program, he said, would tide the
county over only the coming year.
A long-term program would cost
much more, he added.
The money would be allocated
approximately as follows: $780,
900 to the Occoquan High School,
$4,000 to the Nokesville High
School and $4,000 to the Ben
nett Elementary School in Ma
naSsas.
