COSTLY AERIAL PHOTO
 SURVEY OF PINT TIMBER PLANNED THIS MONTH

Aerial photographic survey ot
 the S39,000 acres of timber, esti- mated three billion board feet, acquired last June by the Pacific Northern Timber Company, will be made around May IS, depend ing on the weather, according to company officials.
 Present plans call for a coop erative schedule between PINT and the Ketchikan Pulp Company for doing the aerial survey. It will be undertaken with a Cessna 1S0 now in Ketchikan being con- verted for the purpose. Special aerial photographers i'll b e brought from the States to do the work which runs in cost from $1O0 a day for standby time up- ward. Under new aerial photo graphing process recently devel- oped, forest men say, pictures can now be taken which when viewed under microscopic glass give suf- ficient detail to permit laying out of roads, logging camps and other propr8ed construction, eliminat- ing the old by-foot timber cruise.
 Weather requirements for the work are stringent, calling for ceilings above 10000 feet and the sun high in the sky which means only two or three flying hours in the days that are favorable. The work will be done between May 15 and June 15 when it is believed the best conditions will prevail. It is estimated that there are approximately only seven days in year when weather con- ditions are right for this type of aerial photography.
 Ted Yocom, Chief Forester for Ketchikan Pulp, is supervising the weather observation details through Annette. An alert will be sent to Seattle when the situation shapes up favorably and two aer- ial photo experts will be on the way. Cost: Around $7,5O0 for two actual flying days

 Director Bixby, upon returning here with the band last Sunday. said:

 ''I think, too, that each and ev- cry one of them got a great deal out of the experience and, in talk ing to other school music direc- tors, found they felt the same way. Even though it was an ex- pensive trip, as compared to sim liar events in the States where transportation is much cheaper, can assure those who contri- buted so generously, that their money was well spent"
 Bixby said that out of the three days spent in Ketchikan a. bout 12 hours were put into re hearsals for the grand finale of bands on the last night when 450 students took part. Besides Wran- gell, other towns represented in cluded Juneau, Douglas, Sitka, Mt. Edgecumbe, Petersburg, Craig and Ketchikan.

 T also want to express sincere thanks from the band to people of Ketchikan for their fine hos pitality. They were wonderful to us and we are most grateful to families who accommodated stu dents with lodging. It certainty was q tremendous saving to U financially besides making ou visit to the First City more joyable."

By Kite Turmoil

Mary wants give a "get-ac-
quainted party" Most on her
guest-list know each other on
the breezy chi" basis that's a
buildup for friendship, around
school. But they have not
reached the date-stage or ex-
changed home hospitality.
Marty's party will pioneer the
first "get-together" for this
group. She writes to Teen
Etiquette for ideas on party
planning, things to do. Here
are some suggestions that
might help Mary or you.
Before the Porty:
It's better to give individual
invitations, if it's not easy to
pick partners for the ma
jority.
AS you invite each person.
mention the names of others
he or she knows who will be
invited. This makes it easier
for guests to arrange to come
to the party with friends.
Offer to help arrange a ride
sharing plan. for any one to
whom transportation might be
a problem. See that all will
have a ride home after the
party if possible. Assure any
girl coming alone that some
one going her way will "see
her home" after dark.
Page those you know best
or a few who are congenial
for a pre-party work session.
It's fun to get together ahead
TO plan games and stunts, pre-
pare food and dream up deco
rations or surprises. The small
working committee, ever-pop-
ular for school or club party,
is now the thing for home
party. too.
For Entertainment:
Try these suggestions from
Betty and Buford Rush, youth
recreation directors.
Start a "get-acquainted
party" with mixer games"
that make it easy for all, in
cluding those apt to be shy or
reserved. to exchange names,
helloS, handshakes.
Begin with games that keep
the crowd on the move for
physical activity. Then taper
off with quiet "sit-down con-
tests" for which you can share
laughs, with quick thinking or
deft action. without muscle or
brain strain.
For Fun-Storters:
Take your pick from these
Ice breakers, laugh makers, to
suit your group.
Friendship Lotto" Give
each person a sheet of paper,
marked off with 16 squares,
and a pencil. Allow 10 minutes
for an autograph hunt. The
aim is to collect a different

CAB HOLDS UP PROPOSAL. OF NORTHWEST AIRLTNES

Washington-(AP). Civil Aero nautics Board has held up the ap- proval of the Northwest Airlines proposal to operate coach or tourist service in Alaska with as few as 50 folding or removable seats.
 CAB spokesman said the Board usually requires greater seating ca pacity than that proposed by Northwest. On 4-engine constella- tion, for examle, they say there must be seats for at least 76 per sons in order for the aircraft to qualify as a reduced fare coach.
 CAB said it wanted to investi- gate whether Northwest's proposal would be unduly preferential or discriminatory
