MANY PEOPLE BUT FEW BUYERS AT COMMUNITY AUCTION

A good crowd but few buyers turned out for the first commun- ity auction in many years last Saturday.
 Thirty head of cattle and sev- eral lots of miscellaneous house. hold goods and farm machinery were offered for sale at the slaughter house south of Palmer. The auction was arranged by Har- old Thuma and Pat Hemmer. Ed Hartner was auctioneer.
 A White rotary treadle sewing machine brought $16, and a maple dining room set with drop leaf table and rush poetomed chairs brought $65. Pullets sold for g apiece.
 Many items didn't sell because there was not sufficient interest to bid the price up where the seller could consider letting the offering go. A Guernsey-Dane cross milking COW with a A test ana ZU pound average went for $200. A Red Dane open heifer for $150. Little interest was shown in three Holstein calves aged three months. The auctioneer fail ed to get the sellers minimum of $40 apiece. There wasn't much interest in pigs and a bore hog, either. All in all there were only about six buyers who were in- terested.
 However, according to Hemmer, the sponsors of the auction were fairly we'll pleased with their first auction. They expect more re- sponse from a second auction which will be announced in few weeks.

PMS Juniors Present Glass Play Saturday

The curtain will rise on the Junior Class play "Straws for Two" promptly at 8 pm. in the Palmer School gymnasium Satur- day evening, October 25.
 Members of the cast have been working very hard at rehearsalS for the past few weeks in order to present the play to the public. The Junior Play this year is un- der the direction of Miss Beverlee Unwin, Junior speech teacher.
 "Straws for Two" concerns a group of teen-agers in much the same circumstances as sometimes confront the teen-agers of Pal mer. Sam, who works in Miss Sauer's soda fountain, is adored by Susy, who also works there. He in turn pursues Carol, whom he has worShiped since grade school days. Carol, being of a mer- cenary turn of mind, pursues Buck, the great school athlete. /" Much support is given by Janey and George, whose quarrelsome romance complicates things. Con- fusion resulting from a borrowed suit and an important" track meet add to the fun.
 Tickets for the play cost $1 for regular seats and $1.5O for reserv- ed seats. They may be purchased at the door.

Alaska May Send
 100 Boy Scouts 10 3rd Nat'I JambOree

First announcement of Alaska's participation in the 3rd National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts ot America, to be held during July of 1853 at the Irvine Ranch, near Santa Ana, California, went out last week to the 30 scout troops and explorer posts of the Terri tory.
 According to the preliminary plans of the Alaska Councils Jamboree Committee, about 100 of Alaska's Boy Scouts and Ex- plorers will be permitted to at- tend.
 Scout executive Maurice Pow CTS will be in charge of the Alas ka contingent again next sum- mer, and he will be assisted by a staff of 2 to 10 volunteer lead CTS, their number depending on the actual number of boys who go from the Territory.
 It is expected that the trip, in- .luding an extended sightseeing tour of 10 western states, will take about six weeks, with the party leaving the Territory about June 14 and returning about Aug ust 1. Cities and scenic spots to be visited include a tentative schedule of Seattle, Olympia, Portland, Salem, San Francisco, Sacramento, Reno, Los Angeles, Hollywood, Tia Juana, Grand Canyon, Pueblo, Albuquerque, Philmont Scout Reservation, Den yer, Salt Lake City, Yellowstone National Park, Spokane, Coulee Dam, Yakima, and back to Seat tie. It is not known yet whether the group will travel by steam ship or airplane to Seattle, but it is thought they may proceed their tour from Seattle by chartered buses, thus enabling them to stop more frequently and as wished.
 Scouts and their families will pay each boys way, with each scout being required to earn a reasonable portion of the total cost. Boys must be at least 1214 years old and less than 18 at the time of the Jamboree. They

Don't let Diptheria come to the Valley!
 Because of the current Dipth- eria epidemic in the Yukon-Kus- kokwim area, local physicians and officials of the Alaska Depart ment of Health strongly advise that all susceptible persons be immunized against the disease.
 A special diptheria immuniza- ton clinic will be set up in Pal mer Friday, October 24. School children will be immunized in school that day. Pre-school chil- dren and adults up to 35 years of age may get their shots at the Health Center from to 5 pm. or from 2 to 8 pm. Friday. Local physicians will assist Public Health Nurse Marjorie Myren at the clinic.
 For those who have been im- munized during the past year or two, a booster shot may be all that is necessary. The Schick test will tell for sure. Others may need the series of three shots for complete immunization.
 Miss Myren asked particularly that all persons who have had contact with the Yukon-Kuskok- vim epidemic area in the past few weeks be advised to attend local immunization clinic.

Government Using
Atom to Learn How
To Kill Mosquitoes

Now the Government is using
the atom to learn how to kill
mosquitoes.
Agriculture Department scien-
lists in Oregon spray mosquitoes
with radioactive DDT. BY tracing
the radioactive particles, the SCI
entistS can tell how much DDT
each mosquito absorbs.
The tests confirm that mosqui-
toes develop resistance to DDT.
The resistant mosquitoes can alb
sorb from two to II ordinarily
fatal doses, and still live.
Mosquitoes are most sensitive to
DDT just as they hatch. During
the resting stage that follows, it
takes II times as much DDT to
kill the insects.
The atom experiments also
proved what everybody has sus-
pected: Mosquitoes thrive on hot
weather. When the temperature
is 80 degrees. larvae survive twice
as much DDT as they would at
70 degrees.
