Jones buys only 20 per cent of his haber-

DO you often go shopping ,CitItOut buy

If so, you may be accused of wasting time,

You're not alone. The fact is that "a per

Mrs Jones purchases are made on charge
accounts or on an installment plan. Fifty
two per cent of her purchases are paid for
in cash.
Ho,c many packages do you carry home?
This may surprise you. Mrs Jones is a
sturdy citizen. She carries home 81 per cent
of everything she buys, leaving only Is per
cent for the store to deliver.
How many items do you return for
credit?
Intotalreturnablem lemerchandise Mrs. Jones
sends back seven per cent of her purchases.
Of course, if you were to study her habits
in apparel departments only, you'd have to
shake your head over the fact that she
changes her mind about almost l3 per cent
of the clothes she buys. That's not good,
as Mrs. Jones should realize. Returns add
to stores overhead. and so, indirectly, to
the price tags.
Ho,V many dresses do you buy in a year?
There's a lot of regional variance over
this. Mrs Jones bought herself four new

Hoo many pairs of shoes do you O,cn?
In 1850 Mrs. Jones bought 3.8 pairs of
shoes for herself, AZ pairs for each of her
growing children, 2.3 pairs for the infant
just beginning to toddle. 1t is. revealing to
note, however, that Mr. Jones got along with
1.8 pair. Let's add that 1876 per cent of
Americas women paid nine dollars per pair

Mrs. Jones pays her bills as promptly as they

times more often - before they send their
checks. This is another place where Mrs.

SCOUT EXEC. GUEST AT KIWANIS LUNCH: PLAN KICKOFF

Guest speaker at the Kiwanis meeting held December 1 was Clifford Smith, field executive for the Chugach Division of the Alaska Council, Boy Scouts of America.
 In outline the work of the Alas ka Council Smith explained the purpose for which the Boy Scout Fund raising campaign is being conducted, demonstrating that this annual campaign is the means by which the Boy Scouts of America are able to carry on their extensive scouting program in Alaska.
 Palmer is joining other com munities throughout the Territory in putting on this campaign and Smith pointed out that Palmer contributions will join those of other cities in Alaska to enable the Alaska Council to maintain offices and field workers in the Territory. Smith will be in Pal mer regularly to conduct train ing meetings for local scout lead CTS and den mothers.
 During the course of the talk Smith answered may long stand ing questions concerning the Boy Scout movement here in Alaska and it is a tribute to his presen- tation that the Palmer Kiwanis, following his talk and discussion period, voted enthusiastically to back the Scout Campaign to the fullest extent.
 As a result of the Kiwanis de- cision, the kickoff time for the campaign has been changed to Monday noon, December at which time all volunteer workers are asked to join the Kiwanians at lunch and receive their pros pect cards. Nearly all ground work has already been done by Smith and he will be in attend ance Monday for the kickoff of the campaign. Monday evening he will meet with den mothers at the home of Mrs. Richard Jones.

Prison Work Farm May be Located I'm Third Division

Roy Casey, recently appointed superintendent of federal jails in Alaska made a routine call on U. s. Commissioner Dorothy Sax ton this week in the company of U. s. Marshal Walter Huntley.
 While in Palmer Casey told of possibilities of a federal prison work farm for the custody of short term offenders and others. Hardened criminals or those to serve long terms sentences will still be taken to McNeil Island penitentiary in Washington. The farm will probably be located within the Anchorage area, he said.
 Casey said work on the new $480,000 federal jail planned for Anchorage should start early next spring. Bids will probably be let soon after the first of the year, he expects. The proposed struc- tdre will house 60 prisoners.
 A thorough inspection of fed eral jails throughout the territory is planned by Casey, who is filling a newly-created position as sup erintendent of Alaska jails. He previously served as prison in- spector in several western states and has been an employe of the federal Bureau of Prisons the past 19 years.
 Casey said his headquarters woud probably be located in An chorage, although his work will take him to all federal jails in the territory.

Local Chamber Takes Stand In Strike Problem

New Chamber of Commerce President, Fred M. Zieke urged at the groups meeting Decem- Der 3, that the local chamber make a definite stand on their policy concerning the proposed court injunction against strik- ing ship unions in Seattle. There has been a definite program throughout chambers in Alaska, he said, to sponsor court in- junction against the unions in the hope the strike would end and relieve the present shipping ,tie-up.
 Chamber members unanimous 1y voted to take a neutral stand in the issue. They expressed their unwillingness to participate in the injunction move, because of Jack of knowledge of existing facts; not the proper party and that they felt the injunction was not a solution to the problem. Copies of a letter expressing their neutrality in the matter will be sent to Chamber of Commerce groups in Anchorage, Portland, Seattle, Bellingham, Tacoma, labor union heads and the steam ship line. In addition, copies of the Pitchfork Committee letters will be enclosed to those cham bers in the States.
 M. D. Snodgrass, who will go to Juneau early next year as Territorial Representative spoke on the possibilities of locating an agriculture branch of the Uni versity of Alaska in the Valley. Citing advantages to locating here, Snodgrass pointed out that t is the largest farming area and the more logical site for practical work. Chamber members approv- ed and offered their support to an action on the part of the Ter ritorial Legislature to place a proper agriculture branch of the university in the Valley.

VALLEY TO GET PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE JAN. 1

An announcement of interest and concern to the Valley was made this week by Thomas Moy- CT, president of the Valley Health Council, who has been assured by the Alaska Department of Health that the Valley will have pub lie health nurse on January |. Although her name was not dis closed. It was indicated the new nurse is already in Alaska and will come to Palmer around the first of the year.
 The Valley has been without the services of a public health nurse for over a month. Former Health Nurse, Marjorie Myren is on accrued annual leave which will expire on December 30 and st that time new nurse will be assigned to the Valley area.
 An increase in the public health nurses salary plus main tenance of the vehicle was re- ,quested by the Alaska Depart ment of Health. In order to com ply with this request, the Com munity Chest is faced with a problem. During the 1852 drive, their required goal fell short by seven percent. Because their drive has ended they may not ask for additional funds from the public, nor is the Health Council permitted to do so. The possibility of some local organization or the Wasilla, Eska Chugiak area rais- ing funds for the operation of the nurses vehicle has been ad- Vanced.
 Mrs. Eileen Branton will con- tinue as assistant at the Health Center.
