Cut Down Speed
And You'll Cut
Down Expenses

Cut your speed-and cut driving
costs.
Chief Weaver said today that
excessive speed not only endangers
your life but also hurts your
pocketbook.
Driving costs go up every time
you step on the accelerator be-
cause when speed is increased from
40 to 65 miles per hour, gasoline
costs jump 80 per cent. Cost of oil
consumed goes up almost four
times when speed is increased from
40 to 65 miles an hour. At the same
time, the cost of wear and tear on
tires is two and one-half times as
great at the higher speed. Speed
is a poor investment and a bad
risk, he pointed out. In addition to
the actual loss in dollars and
cents, the driver who speeds in
creases the chance of killing some
one or of losing his own life in an
accident.
At speeds of 60 miles an hour
or above, injuries in an accident
are eight times more likely to be
fatal than injuries in an accident at
20 miles an hour. Gaining a few
miles by driving at an excessive
speed is a mighty poor gamble"
Chief Weaver said. "The cost in
money and in lives should con-
vince all would-be speeders that
fast driving is losing proposition
it just isn't worth it,"
Remember-Speed Kills - Don't
be Loser-Take it Easy and Live
Longer.

P LOCAL SCOUTS ATTEND CHUGACH RALLY IN ANCHORAGE

Ten Chugach district Boy Scout troops, totaling nearly 250 boys participated in the annual Boy Scout Rally held February l2 in the school gym at Anchor age.
 Among those participating m the eight competitive events was Palmer Troop 654. Tn the first event an ice-rescue trial, the Palmer scouts placed second. Taking part in all events, they succeeded in taking first place Tn the fire by flint and steep contest. in the record time of 2l seconds.
 Local scouts who attended the rally included Laddie Huntlev, Neil Herman, Jerry McKechnie, Bonnie Aklestad, Eldon Sandvik.
 Members of Troop 654 who at tended the rally included scouts Huntley, Mick Herman, McKech- nle, Aklestad, Sandvik. Gallant, Mears, Miller, Johnson, Hamilton, Lucas, Van Valkenburg, Cans chow, Winner, Frank, Campbell, Esslinger, Zaborac, Shook, Wright, and Fruit. They were &C., companied by Scoutmaster Yer non Fridley and Assistant Scout master Harry Gayley, as well as several parents. Emil GanschoW was among those chosen to judge the contests.

Data from Anchorage and Fair banks snoe May l indicate that their price pattern was about the same as for Palmer. Their gro- cery prices dropped slightly dur Ing the summer and were still tractionally below May l prices on November IS. Anchorage rose an average of 0.6 percent be- tween November Is and Decem- Der 15. Rises occurred in the price of eggs, meats, flour, some canned fruits and vegetables, le- mons and local carrots. Slight de- creases occurred in salad dress ing soap. bananas, some canned vegetables and cigarettes.
 Interest always exists concern ing comparisons with Stateside prices. Using Is food items com mon to both the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Experiment Station surveys, it appears that Anchorage food costs were about 39 percent above Seattle on Nov ember 15. Palmer and Fairbanks prices each were 41.5 percent above Seattle. Anchorage and Palmer prices appear to have ri- sen slightly this fall and winter in relation to Seattle, and Fair banks may have dropped slightly. Small differential adjustments In meats. fresh fruits and canned vegetables seem to have caused the changes in relation to Seattle prices. These probably are of a seasonal nature. Comparisons lat CT in the winter or spring will be necessary before it is known whether actual changes in price relationships have occurred with the Seattle level.
 The first prices from Juneau for this series were collected on January l, 1852 by the Alaska Development Board. The 18 food items used for comparison cost

Hopes Dim for 1852 Construction Start on PaImer's New High School

Returned from a conference of the Territory's school superin- tendents held in Juneau last week, Superintendent William r Zahradnicek had little hope this week that construction on Palm CTS Sorely needed high school will start this year.
 In conference with Alaska Pub lie Works officials in Juneau, he learned that the local school pro ject is on APW's '53 budget. If the legislators in Washington are prompt in appropriating the mon ey for APW's budget request $20, ,0O0,000-it is possible that some phases of the construction could be started early next fall. However, such optimism is not based on last years experience.
 Zahradnicek pointed out that it is still possible that the Palmer Independent School District will receive some building funds through Public Act 815, which ,, awards funds to districts exper- fencing increased enrollments be- cause of defense projects. Appli- cations for such funds have been made by the local district. Only yesterday, it was revealed that Anchorage has been offered $2.257,695 for minimum" con struction under the act.
 Recommendations Made
 At the conference of superin- tendents several recommenda- tions for improving the Territor- ial school system were made These recommendations will be passed on to the Territorial Board of Education.
 The SuperintendentS suggested a simplified system of making Territorial refunds to the indi- vidual school districts to elim- mate the paper work in the pres ent system. Under the proposed system, the refunds would be based on the number of teachers

Recent Palmer Survey Shows That
 Alaskan Grocery Costs Stay In Line
by BOB KLEIN

Information released from the Alaska Experiment Stations Az riculeural Economics department recently reveals that Alaska's grocery costs have risen in the past year but that the percentage of increase is below that exper- fenced in the States.
 Hugh Johnson quotes recent re- leases from the Bureau of Labor Statistics as showing that re- tail food prices for the United States on November Is, 195l, were l3.9 percent above tho9e Of June, 1850, and 98 percent above those for November, 1850.
 The nearest comparable data from Alaska is for 40 grocery items from four stores in Palmer. According to Johnson's survey, it cost eight percent more to buy one each of these 40 items on November IS, 1851, than it had a year before. This eight percent IS roughly comparable to the 9.8 percent rise in food costs for the United States as a whole.
 Prices rose rapidly in the States after fighting started in Korea. In Alaska, at least as represented by the Palmer survey, they rose less rapidly and then largely on a few items at time. Most of the change in Alaska occurred dur ing the period January to April 1851. The Palmer prices dropped about 2.5 percent in late April and have held relatively constant since May l. The total cost of 42 groceries on November Is in Pal mer was only 0.6 percent above the May l prices. This cost rose to II percent by December l6, largely due to increases in the price of eggs. meats, flour. cigar cites and lemons. Small decreases actually occurred in the prices of soap and soap powder, canned fruits and vegetables and sugar.
