Hope 10 Create ChiIdrens' Library Al Central School

With the moving of the main section of the school library to the new high school, the old li- brary at Central School has been left seriously depleted. John Aper, school librarian, said he hopes to convert the old library into a well-stocked, usable childrens' library-but he lacks sufficient good books.
 A good childrens' library diff fers from an adult and even a high school library, he pointed out. The books must be of a diff ferent character, and must be dis played differently to create an interest and curiosity in the very young child. An attempt should also be made, he said, to avoid the school-type atmosphere. The more home-like surrounding are highly desirable, using pleasing color arrangements and informal furnishings.
 Library facilities in the high school will also be expanded, Aper announced. A magazine and newspaper collection will be set up for reference purposes in ad- dition to a vertical file.
 If anyone having books, maps, pictures, or collections of good magazines such as Time, Life, Scientific American, Saturday Evening Post, etc, would like to donate these items to the schools, Aper announced they would be greatly appreciated.

SCOTLAND HEIRS SEEK HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION STOCK RECOVERY

Two brothers and a sister of a man who died at Wasilla in 1948, brought suit in District Court in Juneau to recover their brothers estate which was escheated to the Territory when he was thought to have died without heirs, according to report made in the Juneau In dependent newspaper.
 The three relatives, who live in Scotland, are seeking to re- cover $9,682.97 and five shares of stock in the Valley Hospital As sociation which they say was turn ed over to the Territory by the U. s. Commissioner at Wasilla from the estate of Charles Stove.
 Those filing the claim to the escheated property and the peti- tion for it's return are James and Nicol Stover, brothers, and Agnes Smith, a sister.
 The local hospital association has not received any word on the suit,

Petition Asks Recall Of Acting Mayor

[ A complaint asking the recall I,of Betty Mears, acting mayor and councilwoman of Palmer, was fil- ed in U. s. District Court in Am chorage on Wednesday of this week. A petition, carrying the signature of over 100 city voters, accompanied the complaint which was filed for the group by Bailey E. Bell, Anchorage attorney.
 According to the petition Mrs. Mears authorized expenditures which allegedly violate city or dinances. It cites the fire hall construction in which Mrs. Mears is charged with awarding con- tracts without competitive bid- ding and without approval by the council.
 Mrs. Mears said today, Moth ing wrong has been done by the Council. An acting mayor can not do anything without Council ap- proyal and nothing has been done without the approval of the Council, in an open Council meet ing, held in regular session and done by motion and unanimous approval of the Coucil. All busi- ness transacted by the City of Palmer is a matter of public rec ord and is available to anyone to read in the office of the City Clerk.
 When we began the construc- ton of the fire hall we were pay ing $200 rent a month to house the trucks. We were seeking a means of housing the fire equip ment without paying such a high rate. With the installation of the city water system and the com pletion of the fire hall we have been reclassified by the Fire Underwriters and are now in Glass 6 which means more than $3O,000 savings to the people in the city"
 Another count which the peti- ton cited was the purchase of steam boiler for $1,25O which was alledged purchased without com I rpetitive bidding.
 District Court Judge J. L. Me Carey will determine whether or not recall election shall be ordered.

PROSPECTS FOR
 1855 MINSTREL SHO VI EVERY BLACK"

If you hear more than the usual stale jokes during the next few weeks, don't be surprised, it will probably be the Kiwanis end men practicing their lines. Don't let these "previews" keep you from the annual Kiwanis Minstrel Show, scheduled for March 25 and 26, Lloyd Morley, show man. ager said this week.
 A completely new script, new costumes and different scenery are being planned. Jim Wilson and Jim Hurley are in their usual madcap form with ideas flowing thick and fast. Morley is almost ready to say, Tt can't be done!!" Keith Stanton, trying to write the script around, over and under the memos of Wilson and Hurley, looks frustrated and bewildered.
 What is the plot: Is there a theme: Will there be a show? Committees working on staging, costumes, dialogue and the many other details think there will be. They are getting ready. Materials are on hand and costumes are taking shape. It's going around that all speciality numbers, char acter actors, end men and others who need costumes had better show up for fitting on Tuesday night, March 1, about 8 pm. at Central School. They'll be pinned and jabbed into the size and shape of costume they are to wear in the show.
 The chorus is harmonizing and chasing high notes every Tuesday evening in the music room of Central School. Mrs. Lois Weldon says, Well be ready"
 Word is out that rehearsal of speaking parts will begin on March l, at Central School. With less than a month before curtain time, regular rehearsals will be held each Tuesday and Thursday, according to Manager Morley.
 We have learned that nearly all members of the cast will be in black face this year. Do you sup pose its really going to be a min strel show? We'll try and find out and let you know. It may take until March 25 or 26, but we'll keep working on it.

the vote divides 60 per cent for
Mr.. Warren and 40 per cent for

OF special interest in today's

that Independents - those who
consider themselves neither Re-
publicans nor Democrats and who
hold the balance of power in
every nationwide election - pre-
fer Warren to Hartman by a
margin of better than two to one.
Here's how the nations indie
