$40 Million Color TV Data
Is Given to FEC by Industry

with sets now in possession of
the public and so not render
them obsolete.
This means that color broad
casts under MISC standards
could be picked up by present
receivers in black-and-white.
Reception in color would require
purchase Of a color set. The
initial costs of such sets, equipped
with 14-inch tube, is now eSti-
mated at somewhere between
$500 and $1,000, but industry
leaders say the price will come
down with mass production.
Yesterday was the deadline
for comment to be filed with
FEC on the new color plan, in
cluding any protests or opposi-
ton. Commission officials said
that anything postmarked before
last midnight would be consid-
cred.

A garden is lovely thing
Thus, blithely does the poet sing;
But poets seldom hoe or spade.
They know that flowers come from
seeds,
But how about the pesky weeds?
And how about the snails and slugs
And all the multifarious bugs?
Yet, when rosebud greets my sight
1 know for sure the poets right
One lovely bud and my heart sings
81 would not change estate with
kings"

WHEN 1 CHOSE as the title for
these talks with you "Ramblings of
a Grandmother" I had in mind
jumping from one thought to an
other as is the privilege of the older
members of our families.
The past month has been one of
going from one meeting to another.
AS many of you know, represent
the Montana home demonstration
council on the Montana health plan
ming council. 1t was with great
pleasure I attended meetings of
both these groups.
If you have not heard Mr.. Ray
mond Walker from the State Board
of Health on alcoholism and Mar
cotics" in relation to its use and
effect on Montana population, try
to get him to talk to one of the
groups to which you belong. Some
of the figures and examples he will
give you will startle you as it did
those of us who heard him at both
of these meetings.
International Tone
The international aspect of the
home demonstration council was
most interesting: "Meet the Grecian
Family" by DR.. Roy who spent
year in Greece; Mrs. Evelyn Wells,
an English lady; Omitted Nations at
Work." by Amy Void; "Flags of the
United Nations" by Mrs. Minnie C..
Lewis. and Mrs. George Peterson's
report of her views and impressions
gained while in attendance at the
National home demonstration coun-
Gil, Raleigh, S. c.
The good fellowship, meeting old
friends and making new ones, are all
a part of these meetings.
The Flathead county women's va
cation camp on Flathead lake fol-
lowed with Is counties represented
this year. So many viewpoints from
our great state were heard as one
visited with these ladies.
Learned New Craft
learned new craft-copper tool
ing-which I shall enjoy. Pine needle
basket weaving and water color
painting were the other crafts given
on full time basis Various demon
STATIONS of crafts were given during
coffee time each day.
Sunday evenings Vesper service
on Inspiration Point set the theme
for the meeting. Here again ole
friends, new friends, good fellow
ship, excellent meals and almost
perfect camping weather made il
one of the most interesting camp:
I've ever attended.

outstanding person on good will and
craftsmanship. She was always
smiling and cheerful and with great
faith that next year she will come
back walking.
Many saw every feature of the
camp through the eyes of their fam
lilies back home and how it would
help them be more understanding
of the members of their families.

Utilities Offices Move Enfo New Quarters

Offices of the Seward Water System and Seward Electric Sys tenn are being transferred to the old city building on the corner of Fourth and Adams Streets.
 This building was used for all city offices until three years ago when the Fire Hall was com pleted and the City Clerk and Electric System offices, as well as the City Council, took over the top floor of the new building.
 Business has incre d so greatly in recent years that ad- ditional space became necessary.
 The move is expected to be completed over the week end, and the two departments func tioning some time next week. Ii will be well for people to check at the log building before climbing the stairs to pay bills next week.

Jop Oysters To Be Tried In Homer Area

Ten cases of Japanese seed oysters are sailing today for Homer, Alaska on the Alaska Steamship Company st e m e r Baranof. The shipment, consign- ed to Browning and Gasperic, arrived in Seattle Tuesday on the Canada Mail. It will be dis charged at Seward and trucked from there to destination.
 The oysters will be carried on deck of the Baranof and at least once day will be given a drink of sea water to keep them in prime condition.
 Last year Browning and Gas pcric imported another shipment of Japanese seed oysters. This is their second and since oysters take three years to mature, there should be some on the market in Alaska in 1855 and 1856. After that all depends on wheth- CT or not there are further i'm ports, since Japanese oysters do not reproduce in waters below 68 degrees temperature, accord ing to oyster authorities, and All aS!ian waters do not maintain that level.

 Dear Sir:
 As Governor of the State of Nebraska I am very pleased to see the spirit of good will and good sportsmanship exemplified by the game between Seward, Nebraska and Seward, Alaska. We in Nebraska are happy to have this opportunity to become better acquainted with you in Alaska
 May the best team win
 Sincerely,
 ROBERT R. CROSBY Although the Nebraska visit is eight weeks away, the Cham Der of Commerce is making preparations now. It was thought at first that the Army Recrea- tion Center would be available for housing the boys and their fathers, but the Center will be opened in May, thus making other plans necessary.
 It has been decided by the committee that townspeople will be asked to take one or two of the 20 guests into their homes. Anyone who has or will have room for a guest by the first week in June is asked to notify Coach Don Dalberg immediately.

FIRST AID GLASSES TO CONTINUE FOR THOSE INTERESTED

Another first aid class is be ing organized to begin the course of study this month. Anyone who wishes to take the 16 hour course may get in touch with Mrs. Roberta Thornton either at the Mart Variety Store or the Portland Hotel.
 There is no charge for the class, but the First Aid Manual may be purchased for 50 cents each by students of the course. Instructors receive no pay. The work is done on an absolutely voluntary basis. Instructors were trained by a special Field Di- rector sent out from the Pacific Area office in San Francisco. This training instructor was paid. Thus, Red Cross first aid train ing is an expense to the organi- zation as a whole, but has proved well worth the time and money in the number of lives saved through knowledge of the prop CT thing to do when encounter ing an automobile accident, fire, flood, earth quake, or any other kind of emergency.
 Many people took first aid during the first years of the war. A number of methods of treat ment have been found more eff fective than those used formerly. Consequently the course is diff ferent in recent years. A refresh CT is advised.
