Fashion Editor

GUMMER'S after-five dress is pretty
~ special kind of fashion for a woman.
Everything conspires - weather, outdoor

frothy, gay and definitely in a charming
mood.
Crisp fabrics, billowy organizes and flow
ing chiffons all undergo glamour treat
ment when the shadows fall Not to be
left out of the picture are the pretty piques,
ginghams and other cottons that have de-
signer touches provided by glittering rhine
stones and interesting embroideries for a
true "dressed-up" look.
Long or short, after-dark dresses share
one thing-theyre pretty to- look at!

ASKS FOR SCHOOL IN SUTTON AREA

Mrs. Rodney Johnson and Mrs. Al Matheson of Sutton approach ed the Palmer school board at recent meeting to present infor- nation on school children in the Sutton area and request, if pos sibe, the establishment of school in that area.
 William B. Zahradnicek, super intendent of schools, said this week the board announced they looked with favor upon establish ing a school near any possible center of population but they felt the Sutton proposal would re- quire more detailed study. A member of the school board will be appointed to study the request and work on the problem with members of the Sutton group.
 Zahradnicek pointed out to the Sutton representatives that the board is now in the midst of construction program. Although five acres of land have been of fered free of charge for a school site, the proposal to reconvert an existing building into a school would involve certain amount of money, plus figured overhead for janitor service, heating and lighting.
 The Sutton representatives were assured the board would work with them in any way pos sible.

The creamery department of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Association has just completed a three-day trial milk run in conjunction with the U. s. Army, from Palmer to Big Delta, Eielson AFB and Ladd AFB in the Fairbanks area.

MATHEWS TELLS OF RUBBISH PROBLEM

A discussion on the present system of rubbish collections within the city and the recently proposed new system, were brought about by the appearance May 19 of A Mathews at the regular city council meeting held on that date. Mathews conducts collection business within the city at the present time and of fered several suggestions to the council as to how the city can benefit, from a health standpoint, by these suggestions.
 Mathews said he feels the city is too small at the present time to go into the type collection sys- tenn proposed last week by w. E. Cook. He reported he had investi- gated charges being made in An chorage for such a system and found some business establish ments are paying as high as $8O per month for collections. Apart nent dWellers are paying $5 for the first can and $3 each addition al can per fmOntn.
 To improve the present system, 1t was suggested that business houses and dwellings obtain ad- ditional refuse cans, covered and on stands; more frequent collec- tions in business sections and that standard size rubbish cans be used. An appropriate sign will be erected at the city-owned dump prohibiting the dumping of garbage, animals and the like, to the public-at-large. Because of consistent violations at the dump, it was decided that all future vio- lators will be prosecuted by the city.

 The Territorial health officials were invited to sit with the coun- cil on existing problems and to discuss the proposed city health ordinance.
 Alter told the group their de- partment assists in problems whenever it is within their power to do so. However" he pointed out, i've have but $5,000 allocated to services involving the inspec- ton of eating establishments throughout the entire Territory, over a period of two years" He said that limited funds prohibit follow-up inspections on estab- lishments. In addition to eating establishment inspections, our in- spections include that of mat tresses, public waste disposal, schools, bread, canned food, work ing establishments using obnoXi- ous gases, barber and beauty shops and many more, totaling between 20 and 30 services. We do the best we can with what we have" he said.
 Recommends Sanitarian
 Alter suggested a full time sanitarian for the area. His pro- posal included the suggestion that outlying areas and units requir- ing periodical inspections be ap- preached to contribute toward such a sanitarian. There are mat ching territorial funds available, if a reasonable plan can be evol- we'd he said.
 While in Palmer the officials made two impromptu visits to local eating establishments and found several violations which they were assured would be cor rected immediately.
 Also visiting Palmer were APW officials who met with the group following the health discussion.
