Farm Mechanics
Handy Farm Ideas
By I. w. DICKERSON
Painting Hints

"YOU CAN BE sure of a nice
even coating when you stain wood,
if you will first coat the surface
with mixture of one part linseed
oil to three parts of turpentine, let
dry for a day or two, and then ap-
ply your stain in the regular way.
when painting over unfinished
green wood, wipe the surface down
with turpentine before you start to
paint. This will soften the gums in
the wood pores SO that the paint
can sink in and make a good bond.
It's also a good idea to use little
extra turpentine in the paint on
wood of this kind" w. F.

ANNUAL SCHOOL HEALTH
 EXAMINATIONS TO
 START ON THURSDAY

Annual school health examina- tions conducted by Dr. John O.. Bangeman. will begin Thursday. Oct. s. Only those children attend ing Kindergarten. first fourth. sev- enth and eleventh grades will re- ceive examinations, it was announe- ed by Mrs Vera Adams. public health nurse. explaining that this is in accordance with new policies suggested by the Alaska Depart ment of Education and the Alaska Department of Health at the last session of the Legislature. However. she said a child in any grade may be selected by his teacher and the public health nurse for examina- tion at this time. if he reveals for the first time signs or symptoms that suggest some physical defect.
 Mrs Adams recommended that the parent or guardian of clement ary children be present at the ex- animation where possible. This gives the parent an opportunity to hear directly from the physician and nurse concerning needs of the child, she said.
 The immunization program will be carried out simultaneously with the health examination. Before the child can be immunized, the writ ten consent of his parent or guard ian is necessary. A form will be sent to the parent for this purpose, she said and suggested that it be geturned promptly to the teacher so it will be available when the child is examined.
 After school health examinations are completed. the parent of each child will receive a form announc- ing the results of the examination.
 It was recommended that defects found be corrected as soon as pos sible, since" Mrs. Adams pointed out, the scholastic performance of the child is directly affected by the state of his physical and emot- ional health"

Record Fall Pack For FaTWGSt

With the closing of the fall seia= ing season Wenesday, 4. R. Brua- ger Of the Farwest Wrangeu COm- .pany cannery reported his plant had packed in excess of 25,000 cas- es during the nine-day open per iod. Added to the summer pack of 4S,000 cases, it brought the local cannery's total for the 1853 season Ito slightly more than 73,O00 cases. It was understood to be the largest single plant pack in Alaska.
 "It was the best fall season We have ever had Mir. Brueger said. "One of the best I've ever seen. It came at a time when it was sorely needed and. fortunately. the. open season was authorized at time when the fish were here, thus ay- erting what would have resulted in terrific waste had the regula- tions not been amended"
 Salmon pack for the season in the Territory will run close to 5000 . 900 cases, according to figures of the Fish and Wildlife Service. As .of last Saturday. the otal yield was 2,841,311 cases. The fall chum pack in the Southeast during the three days of this week would bring lit close to the three million mark. This was a drop from 8 574,000 cas- .es in 1852 and 3,484,000 in 1851.
 A statement from the Washing ton office of FWS said.
 The decline Is due primarily to the failure of the pink salmon runs in Southeast Alaska and below the average red salmon runs in part of Bristol Bay and western Alaska areas. Offsetting the relatively poor runs of pinks, were the good runs of chums and red salmon in the Southeast which yielded a 75 per cent greater pack than in recent years"

LIFTS f BUFFALO = BUFFALOBURGERs

FAIRBANKS - The keen-eyed boys of the wild blue etc. etc, came up with a slight case of as tigmatism around these parts re- gently.
 As a result, the Air Force has ordered all jet fighter practice bombing runs halted in the Big Delta area.
 Planes Of the 416th Jet Fighter Squadron based at nearby Eielson Air Force Base, took off last Fri day for practice ground support bombing attacks.
 Barrels had been set up in the Big Delta region to serve as tar gets.
 Sad to say, that also is the graz ing area for 200 wild buffalo trans planted from the states in 1928.
 The jet pilots took dead aim on what they were sure were their targets, screamed down at near supersonic dives and released their bombs.
 Net result: Eight buffaloes turn ed into Buffaloburgers.
