TT ESTTANT but determined,
1 ! Ransome had brought his
fiancee, Hilda, home for Christmas
to his parents mountain ranch.
Now, on Christmas Eve, Bridget,
his young school-teaching sister,
and Gloria, his white-collar sister,
sat in the pine-panelled living
room, admiring the yet undeco-
rated Christmas tree. And Hilda
seemed to be getting along par
ticularly well with Gloria, the am
bitious, the contemptuous sister
whose city veneer denied her
mountain heritage.
He was the first to stir from the
surprising but comfortable dark.
''I'll take care of it, Ma" he called
toward the kitchen, probably Just
a blown out fuse"
Wouldn't you know it?" Gloria S
voice rose sharply, complainingly.
Pa, armed with a lantern,
stamped in the back door, she'd
ding snow as he shook his heavy
Jacket off. "Brrr, a real snow
piling easterner, but the animals
are all right"

Pa?" Ran asked.
.. mot much use-the wind prob
ably took care of a transformer.
What's the matter boy? When you
were living at home we didn't
even have electricity"
yeah, well, we still got plenty
lanterns around?"
''Long as we got horsesense.
we'll keep the lanterns ready" il
was Mas turn to laugh. Likely
our lights'u be off two-three more
times this winter"
1--WE can't trim the tree, Pa,
when the light string won't work, "
Gloria sounded petulant, dissatis'
fed. Was Hilda disappointed too?
Ran wondered.
Remember the times we
trimmed the tree with popcorn
balls and al?" Bridget asked
Lets do it tonight, shall we, Mar
"Why of course, Pa and I'd ge'
a sight of pleasure out Of that
How about you, Hilda?"
''I'd like to help" To Ran she
sounded enthusiastic, but maybe
it was just politeness.
"a sight more work too," Gloria
pointed out. why you won
''I'u need another lantern for thu
kitchen, Pa, if I'm to string Gran
berries" Bridget interrupted zest
fully.

Dare Beaches were bleak and bare af-
ter the summer season had ended. But it
is different now. There are many of us
who are year-round residents. We aim
in every way to be part of the commu-
nifty, and to maintain our usual service
through the whole winter. Many of us
who close our seasonal businesses, re-
main and contribute as best we may, to
all that is good and wholesome for the
life of the community and to prepare for
the coming season.
We are happy to take this means of
expressing our appreciation to you, to
wish you well, and to ask you to remem-
Der us through the year as your friends
and well-wishers.

CHEECHAKO PROFITS FROM AcCA BOOTH
 SWELL HOSPITAL FUND

Checks totaling Sl54 08 were received this week by Hugh Johnson. treasurer of the Vallc. Hospital fund raising committee from Mrs. Ida Stadler and Mrs. Katherine Wilson of the Chcecha- ko Homemakcrs.
 The checks represented the one-half share of profits from the Alaska Crippled Childrens' As Sociation booth at the Matanuska Hotel for December and Jan uary. The booth has been the pro- ject of the Cheechakos. with Mrs. John Sullivan and the hotel staff generously helping with sales during slack periods which do not warrant full-time clerking by the Cheechakos. The hotel manage ment also has kindly donated the attractive booth in the lounge for this charitable enterprise.
 The other half share of the pro- fits goes to the Alaska Crippled Children's Association, whose ac- tivities the Cheechakos sponsor in this area under the ChairmanShip of Mrs. Stadler.
 The checks for Sl54.08 received this week bring to $288.06 the total of Cheechako contributions to the hospital fund from the ACCA booth alone. Another $lO0 contribution came from a sale of food and gift items at the Farm CTS Market and other club pro jects. Thus. the contributions of the Cheechako Homemakers 70 the hospital fund total $388 06 'o date - and they are still coming in.

NOTES FROM YOUR EXTENSION SERVICE
Termination Tests
By Gene Kirsh


 It is time that everyone inter ested in a good stand of grain this year should be running a seed germination test on material intended for planting.
 The following method has been suggested by the Agronomy De- partment of the Experiment Sta ton: Take a paper towel and place on it 100 seeds within an inch or so of the edge of the pa per. Then roll from one edge to the other; fold in both ends to the edge of the grain and secure by using paper clips, Then set the roll in a jar or can with an inch of water in the bottom, placing the far in a warm room. Be sure the water is kept at the one-inch le- vel as it evaporates quite rapidly. Your sample is ready to make the germination count in four days.

Local Couple Burned In Explosion on ch;rikof Island

Mir. and Mrs. Len Allmon. Pal mer residents, escaped serious in jurieS Tuesday. February l9 in a kerosene refrigerator explosion, on Chirikof Island where they are spending the winter months as caretakers of the Chirikof Beef Co. property.
 In a telephone message to liar ny Ryan, one of the company owners, Allmon said that al though they were not seriously burned, they had been advised to remain for a short time in Grif- fin Memorial Hospital where they had been taken following their evacuation from the island by a RAD Navy passenger plane, Thursday afternoon. They plan ned to return to the island the early part of this week.
 Although the couple were both burned about the face and hands, there was no damage to the house. The cause of the explosion has not been learned.
 It is believed that this is the first time in Navy history that such a landing has been made with a RAD, under such condi- ions. It. Max Roushman, USN made the landing on 4000 feet of beach without mishap. The All mons had placed themselves at each end of the beach directing the Navy plane in for the landing.

ground. but days are getting long CT and longer. This should be a warning that Spring is on it's way and that local gardeners should turn their thoughts 10 seeds and things.
 A recent news release by the University of Alaska Extension Service lists the vegetable varie- ties recommended by the Alaska Experiment Station at Palmer for 1852 planting.
 Vegetables varieties are con- tinually changing as plant breed CTS introduce varieties better adapted to certain localities. Sys- tematic vegetable variety testing provides a means for determin- ing the adaptability of varieties. Although recent trials in Alaska have been located only at Fair banks and Matanuska it is believ- ed that the list of varieties con- sidered standard for these re- gions may also be worthwhile in other areas of the Territory.
 For Trial in 1852
 Several of the varieties have been listed For Trial in 1852. They have been chosen as super for to the standard varieties on the basis of one seasons trial but cannoti be recommended for the main crop because of the limited amount of information at hand.
 In this group the varieties Streamliner and Top Crop are re- commended for green beans. For early broccoli, 'Waltham No.ll IS recommended; for main broc- coli, Waltham No 29; for Brus- sells sprouts, Catskill; for mid season cabbage, Bonanza; for late cabbage, Ferry's Hollander; for topped carrots, Nantes Strong Top and Table Gem; for green celery. Emerson Pascal; for greenhouse pepper, Vinedale; for spinach, America; for outdoor tomato, Early Chatham.
 Sources of seed for these newer varieties may be obtained from the Alaska Experiment Station at Palmer Or the Extension Ser vice, College, Alaska.
 Standard Varieties
 The standard varieties recola- mended for the main 1852 plant ing are as follows:
 Yellow podded bean. Golden or Cherokee; green podded bean Bountiful; beets. Early Wonder or Crosby Egyptian: Broccoli, Morse Early: Brussels sprouts Long Island Improved; early cab bage, Golden Acre; midseason cabbage, Copenhagen Market; late cabbage, Glory of Enkhuizcn or Pennstate Ballhead
