The average American male

these facts have led to the

SPORTS

very few people have any

A man is not known so much
for the company he keeps as
he is for the car in which ne
rides. And it is apparent to a
parent that the younger males
get wives whose attributes are
propotionate to the type of
car he pilots. We saw one the

Spring Fires Keep Local Fire Fighters Busy

The City of Palmer volunteer fire fighters and the local Fire Guard Station have been kept busy this past week taking care of fires that have gotten out of control of property owners.
 The City Department was call ed out on May 6 to the rear of the Koslosky building where ap- proximately $50 damage was caused, apparently from rubbish burning. The same night fire fighters from both the City de- partment and the Fire Guard Station were called on a large grass and brush fire on Bailey Hill. On May 10 the city truck went to the Oliver Smith farm where fire burning in neigh bor's fence row got out of con- trol and caused a grass fire. An other city run of short duration was on May Il near the Losing i property in town when rubbish being burned set the grass on fire.
 Fire control aids of the Bureau of Land Management fire guard station have been kept busy not only in this area, but throughout the territory. A fire, caused from brush-burning, destroyed approx imately four acres on the north shore at Big Lake early this week. An unattended campfire at the Finger Lake camp ground: caused a small fire, and yester day fire of undetermined orig in six miles north of Willow was reported. Other fires burning il the territory at present is a GAO acre fire at McGrath and five fir es in the Fairbanks region, thre' of which are burning out of con trol. At the present time ther' are no fires in the Anchorag' area, it was reported.
 Fire Control Aid Jerry Flande of the local station, and Cit. Fire Chef Joseph Gallant urg picnickers, campers, and home owners to emphasize careful us of campfires and their complet , extinguishment before leavin the area in which they are burn
 ing.
