Cnugiak School Gets Blinker ligi

A yellow blinker light has been donated to the Chugiak School by MT. Kruskavage of the Stop and Shop store in Mountain View, members of the Chugiak P-TA learned at their recent meeting, according to MT. J. A. McCowell, publicity chairman.
 The theme of the meeting was Fire Prevention which was handled by Fire Chief Fred Hahn and c. E. LeDoux, IT., secretary, of the Chugiak Volunteer Fire Company. They told of the 'Sparky" program set up for school children to instiu proven ton through education. Chief Hahn pointed out that residents of Chugiak have been fortunate for although IA fires were experi- enced in Chugiak in 1854; only ' fires have been reported in 1855 and no loss of life.
 Robert Partridge, Matanuska Telephone Association manager, explained how a fire alarm sys- tenn is to be set up through the new dial phone system which will reduce insurance rates and in- sure a much quicker alarm than is now possible in the Chugiak area. He explained that three quarters of million dollars is in the bank for use on the phone system and that a sum of $60,000 has been spent for the purchase of the Palmer system and for en- gineering. This engineering has been done by William Bauler who has purchased the Dallas Hett property, recently vacated by. Captain Roger Riddell Bauler's engineering plans are in Wash ington, Partridge said, and upon their return from REA they will
