National League Aims.
To Help Minors by
Restricting Radio
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-The Ma
tional League has decided to do
something about the minors COM
plant that radio broadcasts of
major league games in their ter
ritory hurt business.
At special meeting called yes
terday by Ford Frick, National
League President, it was decided
to establish an agency to super
wise such radio activity.
The National League Office in
this city will act as an agent for
the clubs in handling radio broad
casts of games outside major
league territory" Under this Sys-
tenn, requests from stations out
side major league areas will be
turned over to the league office
by the various clubs. The agency
will be supplied with each clubs
rates.
The National League officials
also decided that no club will win
the pennant because OF bad
weather. The 1851 season will be
extended day if any final sched-
uled game. involving the pennant,
is washed out. The rule doesn't
hold in case of ties for any other
position.
Playoff Series Retained.
A best tWo-of-t three playoff Sc
ries would follow the regular race
if two teams wind up tied for the
league title, continuing the old
policy.
The American League rule,
adopted last month at st. Peters
burg, provides for two extra play
off days in case bad weather post
pones final games affecting first
place.
Frick said the subject of a pos
sible successor to Baseball Com
missioner A. B. Chandler was not
. discussed. The two major leagues
have committees for consideration
of candidates and they will report
at the February meetings.
According to Frick. the league
probably will deny permission for
any broadcasts in a city when the
minor league team has a home
game. This differs from 1850.
when the minor league club had
the privilege of giving or denying
permission. Frick indicated that
much pressure was brought
against minor league clubs to get
them to agree to broadcasts.
Telecasts Are Limited.
The National League meeting
recommended that its clubs limit
telecasts of their games to home
city stations, avoiding networks.
This move was construed as a
preventive one. since, as Frick
said, no club in the league used
network TV last season.
Approval was given to arrange
ments for Servicemen's admission
to the leagues parks, with each
club establishing its own system.
Warren Giles, Cincinnati club
president, failed to have a rule
repealed which bars photogra-
pliers from the field during
games.
Another league meeting will be
held February 3, the day follow
ing its 18th anniversary celebra-
tion-an open house affair at the
Broadway Central Hotel. At that
gala gathering the New York State
Historical Society will unveil a
plaque to commemorate major
league baseball's birthplace.
OF the 81 living members of
the Hall of Fame, seven already
have accepted invitations to at
tend. They are Fred Clarke,
Rogers Hornsby, Carl Hubbell, CyI
Young, Kid Nichols, Charley Geh-
ringer and George Sisler.

ners. not to. Most people woxh be more help
f,.l to others if they had q clearer idea of ho,o
to 90 about it. For this reason, we're asked an
expert 10 discuss eisiting reterans hospitals.
V0U don't have to kn0W patient in
l. veterans hospital to. be welcome. All
you need is the right attitude. Veterans, like
most people who are i'll, don't want senti-
ment They want to be treated as ordinary
people who have had little tough luck.
First of all. remember you're in hospital.
Don't enter ward without clearing with the
nurse or attendant in charge. Walk and
speak quietly. Don't sit on the bed; jarTing
can sometimes cause pain. Avoid contro-
versial discussions that might be upsetting.
Never whisper in front of patient. You
may not be discussing him, but he doesn't
know that. And never give medical infor
nation or advice Silly optimism is not help
full Saying You'll be up in no time!" will
irritate someone who knows he won't be.
If YOU are woman. dress and act in good
taste. Save your plunging necklines and
heavy perfumes for more appropriate occa-
sions.
Approach every patient as an individual.
AS you visit from bed to bed. what you say
can be heard by the other patients. If it's
static, your conversation becomes institu-
tionalized rather than individualized In
making opening remarks, I've found that it
helps to notice what the patient is doing and
comment on it.
A visit to a veterans hospital should be

planned so that it will be unhurried. Listen
attentively to what patient has to say. If
request is made, find out from the Spe-
cial Services officer whether or not you may
be duplicating the efforts of others if you
comply with it. If it's something you can do.
by all means do it.
People with special training are always
needed. If you are the local chess expert,
or can speak before audiences, you can be
invaluable.
The Special Services Office in some v. A.
hospitals may advise you that few of the
walking and wheel-chair cases can be taken
out of the hospital for recreation. Invite
four for ride in your car. Invite up to six
to dinner at your home and be sure to have
other guests there too, so the boys won't feel
they are still in the hospital. Check their
diets before you leave the hospital.
ABIDE by the regulations set down by the
hospital. Alcoholic beverages must not be
offered. Don't give food or drinks to pa
tient without prior clearance. They may be
harmful, for instance, to diabetic.
Finally, never tell a hospitalized veteran
you'll be back for another visit if you don't
intend to come. He has lot less to occupy
his mind than you do. and little pleasures -
the book, the game you promised - may be
one of the main things he will be thinking
about for the next few days or even weeks.

 PROBLEM OF KEEPING MINORS OUT OF BARS

At their final meeting of the year, members of the local Chamber of Commerce decided to tackle the. problem of juvenile delinquency in this area with the appointment of a committee on youth problems.
 The decision followed the voic- ing of alleged and specific incl dents of liquor law violations in serving liquor to minors, partic- ularly in establishments outside Palmer city limits. It was also alleged that in certain place down the road" teen-age young sters can get anything they want from a marijuana jag to a shot of cocaine.
 Too many of our 17-and 18- year-olds are being victimized by these illegal sales of liquor, said Clair Stock, and it's time we did something about it.
 Stock was named chairman Of the newly formed committee. Others named to it include James Hurley, Dr. A. J. Colberg, Willi- am T. Zahradnicek, Ed Smith, and Lucille Mick. At a meeting of the committee which followed the chamber adjournment, many possible approaches were discus sed, but it was decided initially to concentrate on strict enforcement of existing laws for the protec- ton of minors. The committee chairman was authorized to con- tact Territorial law enforcement agencies to ask their help and of fer the committees assistance in enforcing liquor and narcotics laws in this area. The committee also asked the cooperation of every parent and interested adult in making complaints when they see violation of the liquor laws regarding minors. It was pointed out that even though these indi- vidual reports might not result Tn arrest of the violator, they will serve as clues to enforcement agencies who will be on the look

 CONSUMPTION D0WN

Palmer was getting a lot of fine publicity this week for the cooperative "brownout" which started last week Friday to con- serve on power consumption Tn this area.
 Actually the cooperation start ed day ahead of time when the Palmer merchants jumped the gun and turned off their lights on Thursday. That initial brown out" observance on the part of the merchants brought about T drop of 90 KWs in peak con- sumption over the previous days peak of 1130 KWs. On Saturday night, December Is, peak con- sumption dropped to 1910 KWs, within 10 of the one thousand XIV goal. Sunday night the peak was 1920 KWs, but Monday night, Palmer slipped" to a peak of 1130. This higher consumption might have been due to drop in temperature which registered lower than 20 in some spots in the Valley. On December 2, when the mercury reached a similar low, MEA peak consumption reached a high of 1230 KWs. On Tuesday night, December 18, the temperature rose, and the peak demand went down to 1040 KWs.
 MEA Manager C. A. Brewer was most enthusiastic about the evident cooperation being given voluntarily by MEA consumers. Its working!" he beamed.
 That the merchants are doing their best is easily observed, and it is believed that most house. holders are doing their best to conserve electricity. Some people have voiced disapproval of the Valleys voluntary "brownout" while Anchorage city streets con- tinue to blaze with neon signs and new street light. It was also pointed out in the Chamber of Commerce meeting yesterday, however, that such fragrant waste of electricity does not excuse Pal mer from the obligation of trying to stay within the bounds of it's contracted power. MEA power comes from the Anchorage Public Utilities and one thousand KWs is the amount the contract calls for.

City To Be Asked to Authorize $500 000 indebtedness
Council Calls for Election Jan. 2o
 To Guarantee New City Wuter System

A> PSoPAS. O1 dlITer VIII De asked to incur an indebtedness of $3O0,000 for the new city water system next month in an election to be held January 29, it was de- cided in the City Council meeting last night.
 The decision followed the read ing of letter from Don Wilson of APW urging that the people of Palmer approve the bond issue immediately so that plans for construction of the new water system may proceed immediately, come spring.
 AS in the Palmer School Dis trict bond election, the city bond authorization amounts to a pledge of faith. City Attorney Harold Butcher doubted that the city would ever be called upon to is- sue the bonds, especially since payment of the city's one-half share is assured through income from the water system.
 / Why the bond authorization was set at $300,000 vas a puzzler for the eouncilmen as well as the city attorney. The amount allo- cated last September for the pro- ject amounted to $500,000. Later. council members. were informed that only $405,900 of this would be available for actual construc- tion. In the bond election ordi- nance which will be published ac- cording to law in the next four issues of the Frontiersman, the Council calls for an election au- thorizing the indebtedness of $300,000. In the same ordinance which was drawn up by APW for Council approval the city pledges itself to purchase the improve mentS and new construction on the city water system for a sum not exceeding $150,000", f0? which amount bonds would be ;s- sued if required by the United States Government. Councilmen agreed that this was an unexpect- ed bargain and could not under stand it. The sum is much less than one-half of either the origi- nally allocated amount or the amount which would be available for construction. In the discus sions held last spring relative to the water project the Council was given to understand that the AL askan director of Public Works has discretionary authority as to what percentage of any Public Works project cost shall be grant and how much shall be loan to the municipality. Butcher pointed out that the $300,O0O indebtedness authorization might have been asked to cover additional alloca- tions of money for the water pro- ject. The councilmen were ad- vised some time ago that due 0 the limited funds appropriated, the project could not be com pleted as originally planned.
 City Fire Department
 Details of the transfer of the equipment and property from the local Volunteer Fire Association, which is dissolving January 1, to the city of Palmer were discus sed at length last night as Al Hagen listed all the assets and li- abilities of the association. A committee consisting of Steve Ward, Frank Brown, and Chat Sandvik was appointed by the mayor to inquire into all the de- tails of the transfer and effect same.
 The Council also heard the third and last reading of city or dinance number 19 which ad- opts by reference the Suggested
