First, get into the habit of
paying all premiums when
they are due. Although the
law allows a "grace period"
of 81 days during which the
policy remains in effect even
if a premium due is not paid,

they are assumed to be next
in susceptibility.
A second shot will be given
to the pupils about the mid
die of May, free. The third,
TO be administered in early
fall, will be given at a nomi-
nal fee.
1t is indefinite as to when
the vaccine will be available
for commercial distribution,
but in several of the larger
cities physicians seem to be-
lieve that summer weather is
the polio season, and that the
serum should certainly be-
come available to the very
young, pre-schooiers, and
summer campers.
The general belief is that
physicians will soon have a
supply of the serum for the
general public and that it
may be purchased also at drug
stores at a cost Of about $500
a dose.

Contract your own doctor
if your child is not given the

2. How much will it cost?
No price has been estab-

yet what the vaccine will cost
them. One educated guess is
that each "shot" will cost the
doctor $2.65 for vaccine alone.
This does not count needles,

the very sheer fabrics-not cotton
or linen. Synthetic threads may be
used to quite an advantage on syn
thetic fabrics, blended fabrics and
fabrics made of silk or wool. Do
you ask to see the texture label
on bolts before buying yard
goods? It's a good idea for many
mixtures and synthetics are being
made to look like cotton and linen.
For best results change your
needle to fit the coarseness or very
sheer fabric and thread.
Interesting facts gathered here

Hello did you notice the new
heading for the column-and how
could anyone miss such bold
spot. l do not claim to be super
stitious but might say l hope the
4-leaf clover will bring success to
our efforts. Twas strange to me
that the words, Dare Denonstra-
ton Doings, came from two Wo-
men, Mrs. Fannie Batten, Hat
teras, and Mrs. Sherman Twiford,
Manns Harbor. Thanks to both of
you. And now l hope to find
enough Doings to keep the column
filled for. you.
First, let me clear the point of
"where" for the Buxton, Frisco,
Hatteras picnic on June 15-the
surf beach across from Tandy's.
Surely hope there will be many
families from each community.
Let's put both pots on and invite
friends and neighbors. Just word
here about that fried chicken.
Don't chase or otherwise excite
the chicken before killing. Excite
ment of an animal often results
in poor bleeding and blood in the
meat can result in undesirable
flavor.
Have you gotten pruning fever :?
It's a good time to cut back any
spring Towering shrubs, shape
them or cut back to the size de-
sired.
The kitchen tip this week is
about lemon Filings and custards.
When you add an acid, such as
lemon juice, to starch-thickened
mixture at the beginning of the
cooking period, the mixture will
become thick and then thinner the
longer you cook it. To prevent this
thinning and insure better flavor,
add the acid just before the end of
the cooking time. When lemon
juice is added at the beginning, it
has time to act on the starch and
partially change it to a non-thick-
ening substance.
Do you know about the "Home
Demonstration News"-a bulletin
newspaper edited and published by

informed that no subscriptions
have been received from Dare Club

POLIO VACCINATION PLANS APPROVED

The Alaska polio vaccination plan proposed by the Territorial Polio Advisory Board has been approved by the U. S Public Health Service and injections of the Salk vaccine have begun, ac- cording to pr. Charles R. Hay man, Alaska Department of Health preventive medical ser vices chief.
 The Health department is pur- chasing all polio vaccine for Al aska with special funds from Congress. Vaccine for two injec- tions approximately one month apart is being supplied to each community, starting at Ketchi- kan and working north, Dr. Hay man explained
 He said that those eligible for the vaccine may receive their vaccinations free of charge thr- 0ugh their local health center, or they may get them through their private physician who may make charge for giving it. The Polio Advisory board recommended that the physicians service char ge should not exceed $2.50 per injection.
 In urban areas, the Boards plan
 
 provides that Salk vaccine may be given only to pregnant women and to children five through nine years of age. In isolated areas, pregnant women and children ages one through 19 are eligible for the polio vaccinations.
 Vaccine will have been sup pied to all southeastern Alaska communities within a month, pr. Hayman said. Supply of vaccine sufficient for Cordova, Seward and Palmer is expected to arrive within 10 days.

Planning Commission Recommends City Acuuire Park Area

The City Planning Commission has recommended that the City Council make application to the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Cor poration for the nine acre piece of land located near the new All aska Road Commission site. This nine acres would be developed by the Kiwanis Club of Palmer in cooperation with the City of Palmer and other civic organiza- tions for use as a City Park.
 The proposed park site is bounded by Walker street on the west, Park avenue on the north, Snodgrass street on the east, and the Valley Presbyterian Hospital and Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Association property on the south.
 The Planning Commission fur ther recommended that the City Council in its negotiations with the KiWanis club, concerning pro- curement and development of the property, ascertain that no legal technicalities will be presented at a later date which will inter fere in anyway with the City re- taining all legal rights to the pro- perty.
 Members of the Commission voted that the City assist the K1- wanis club in the development of the park area in the following ways: Q-That the City equip ment be made available for de- velopmental purposes in park area proper. (2)-That Park ave- nue be extended from Walker street to Snodgrass street and Snodgrass street extended to Park avenue and that proposed 6O-foot street between Park area and hospital and MVF.C.A. pro- perty not be developed at this time. (3)-That the City install, furnish and maintain water to such facilities as may need water
 It was recommended by the Commission members that the City Council procure from the Kiwanis club their concrete plan for the development of the City Park area, and that the plan be submitted to the Planning Com mission for approval. Members also recommended that the City maintain Park facilities once they have been developed.
 Meetings of the Planning Com mission will be held the second Thursday of each month in the office of the City Clerk at 7:30 pm. Members of the Commission are Ralph Moore, chairman, Rob- ert Pippel, secretary, pr. c. C. Bailey, Stanley Lowe, Seth Cook, George Milestone, and Jack Flint.

Alaska Road Commission because they are located on individuals farms are not public roads and as such constitute a private road to a mans home and should not receive maintainence not provid- ed to other private roads, or driveWays.
 Valley residents involved in the proposed abandonment list various reason for their protests. Roads in question, they point out, have been improved and main tained for a period of many years, some as much as 20 years. The fact that the ARC maintained these roads constituted one of the reasons why the property was purchased by the owner. They pointed out that abandonment of the roads would result in heavy depreciation of the value of the properties that abandonment of these or any other occupied roads would constitute a serious step backwards in the overall devel- opment of the Matanuska Valley.
 In cases of emergencies, the abandonment of these roads would jeopardize the health and welfare of the families concern ed-the abandonment would ma- terially increase the cost-of-living for those fanilies-would jeop- ardize the fire protection offorded by the presence of maintained
