 senting the Cordova Airlines has
 reqeusted the support of the
 valley Chamber in 1airline's at- tempt to get air mail service in
 and out of Palmer. The firm has
 found 1t necessary to curtail
 their daily flight service to Pal mer because they have been no- tified by the Postmaster General that they can not carry airmail
 until such time as CAB certifies them for the flights to and from Palmer. A telegram from the Washington postal department said in part that there was no apparent need for air mail ser vice to Palmer because there exists a good road between Pal mer and Anchorage. Council members cited instances of air mail taking two and three days to Seattle from Palmer whereas air mail out of Anchorage arriv- Es in Seattle the following day. II was pointed out that Palmer is the seventh city in Alaska in postal receipts. Other Chambers will be invited to support the local Chamber in their request that airn1ail service be extended to the Palmer area. It was also pointed out that to carry on busi- ness in Alaska it is most neees- Sary that mail be carried in the fastest possible way
 4 Plan Float
 DrfC. c. Bailey was named to head a committee to plan float entry for the Valley Fair Parade of Transportation which will be held September 2.
 The Sitka Chamber of Com anerce notified the local Cham. sber that they are supporting them in their attempt to get the federal milk program extended to schools in Alaska. s U. $. Trumbore, representative l oI the Armed Services Advertis- arg Association, told members snis firm is preparing a booklet aon Elmendorf Air Force Base which will be distributed to air men prior to their transfer from Stateside bases to the Anchorage area. The booklet is being pre- pared to help the airman and his family become acquainted with this area before their arrival. 1He said 5000 copies will be Fprinted and distributed through .sos1t sStateside bases. He invited advertising from the Valley area and invited the local Chamber to prepare an informative article on the facilities that are found in this section. MT. Trumbore poiated out that information now available to future Alaskan residents is somewhat distorted. We hope through this booklet to inform the airman and his !@ami1y of the modern stores, churches, schools, and entertain snent, found in Anchorage and of the surrounding cities.
 Also a guest at the meeting was o. K. Kincaid, former Palmerite, now of Kodiak. who ss conducting the annual audit of the Palmer school system books.

"Ernani." an old fashioned,
laundering. roof-raising opera,
had its first Metropolitan Opera
performance last night in almost
three decades.
I think l never heard so many
people sing so hard so long so
loud. And they did it with a
revival spirit, as if they remem-
bered Thanksgiving was Thurs
day and Christmas wasn't far
off.
"Ernani" is grand grand
opera, with all the melodramatic
filings! The bloody knife, the
fateful hunting horn, the hiding
place, the musty crypt; the rip
snorting massed choruses, and
soloistS squaring off by ones, by
twos, by threes and tours, to
sing at the top of their voices.
Dimitri Mitropoulos conducted,
and for his relentless driving
pace and his gusto, but always
unsteady gusto. deserved a
string Of solo curtain calls.
There was a solo curtain call,
too, despite General Manager
Rudolf Bing's strict rule against

title role, was the lucky one. But
there was an explanation. He is

as perfect unison as if harnessed
together electronically.
The music Of the two early
Rachmaninof suites is rich and
.sonorous. and very pleasant for
"a short time. An hour of it be-
comes a bit cloying, for it is
fundamentally only very high
class dinner music. with little
Ipith or variety. 1t is full of the
romantic Russia MS warm
hearted cliches and ripe melodies,
and is certainly a gorgeous
show piece for two 9-foot Stein
ways.
The later dances for orches-
ira, the piano form of which is
presumably not the original guise
in which Rachmaninoff thought
of the music. are much more in
lteresting. and. strangely enough,
seem more suited to the key
board instruments than do the
earlier suites. If this more ma
ture music does not have the
voluptuousness of Sheherazade,
it has more Of the infinite vari-
ETY. of Cleopatra.

A group of graduate students
of New York University's School
of Retailing has been dropping
in on six big New York stores to
buy advertised goods.
If it's fun shopping with other
peoples money. they must have
had a good time. The stores
themselves put up the cash.
There was only one drawback as
far as the student shoppers were
concerned-the stores drew back
the articles purchased when the
experiment ended.
The shopping was part of a
study directed by DR.. T. D. Ellis
worth and Mrs. Katherine S.
Mitchell of the N. Y. u. faculty.
In all, $50 purchases were made,
ranging from Al cents to SAILS.
