iIfree major health insurance
protection starting this year.
! While none Of the parties at
the meeting committed them
selve, the Hallbeck plan ap-
Ipeared to create much interest.
Bill Brawley, the committees
staff director, voiced the view
that Congress might be able to
wor kout some satisfactory leg
islation along health insurance
lines this year.
I One of the features the GAO
would be asked to explore re-
garding payroll deduction for a
basic health insurance plan
would be a clearing house to
handle all the deductions.
It was brought out that there
are now more than 600 different
health insurance groups in this
country. 1t was this feature that
discouraged the administration
from following through on its
Ioriginal basic health insurance
plan for Federal workers.
i A clearing house which would
handle all the financial aspects
of such program might solve
this problem, some employe lead
Iers believe.

especially attractive when printed
on matte-finished paper. We feel
that you graduates will find these
prints the perfect way to ex-
change pictures with your class
mates. And you'll discover that
small prints make wonderful en-
closures when you're writing
thank-you notes to friends and
relatives for the graduation gifts
they've sent you.
We suggest that you make a
list of the people you know who'd
appreciate having prints Of your
graduation picture - and order
the requisite number promptly.
Whether you call them wallet"
or friendship" prints won't mat
ter. A small print, by any name,
is always welcomed

It's just too hot for concentrated
effort lasting any length of time,
so all you will find in this column,
that is if you have the desire and
strength to read it, will be the
very fewest of the fewer.
The heat does shocking damage
to my grey matter; here am

there was any hollow space, the
contents would merely make good
kindling. After this morning / am
about to agree with him. Follow
ing my usual round of chores or
as is the case especially in this
weather, following a discourse on
the jobs to be done, hied me to
the bathroom to make myself pre-
sentable for a day in the office.
When / reached the stage of re-
moving the old bridge-work, in
stead / found myself standing with
my spectacles in my left hand and
my tooth brush in my right won
dering how the heck / ever got in
to just that state and what move
/ should make to get out of it. The
teeth won.
Of course it may run in the fam
ily-I once came home from the
office in the evening years back
to find my mother guing around
the house having a quiet cackle to
herself every now and again.
Well, we had in our kitchen a large
built-in dresser, three shelves with
jug hooks along the second and
cup hooks along the bottom shelves
and the usual ridge for plates to
sit. On the flat part of same we
used to have sitting the biscuit
boxes, (cookey jars to you, suh) /,
another larger box where the bills
ended up, and at the right hand
end by the hall where it would be
handy for paying tradesmen who
came OF the front door and yet
be convenient to the kitchen door
or scullery window where the bak-
er and milkman usually arrived,
my mother kept her handbag.
This day as usual when setting
off down town to either buy or
window shop, she had as she
thought snatched up her bag and
make a quick exit to catch the
trolley car which ran past the end
of our road. When the trolley car
arrived and she went to change
the "bag" from one arm to the
other plus shopping basket, she
found to her horror and embarrass-
ment that the bag wasn't, she had
instead the alarm clock which we
also kept at the end of the dresser
but usually a little inward Of
where her bag sat. (That was also
for convenience for mother was US
ually the first down and set it
there on her way into the kitchen
Apart from not having any mon
ey, that trolley car went on it's
way without my, by then very red
in the face, mother. That alarm
clock wasn't any of your dainty
baby bens but large, bright blue
bold looking thing that no pocket
book would hold. I'm sure mother
made even better time down the
road home to get the horror back
on the dresser and sit down for a
few minutes to regain her poise.
Anyway when / got home she had
regained not only that but merely
saw the funny side and in telling
it had me cackling too.
Well, it is still hot and we now
have thunder shower so I'll get
on my way to lunch. Maybe with
my ivory washed off and my saw
dust dampened I'll feel better.

NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE

BY Lew E. Hanks

The snow is going fast in some
areas. It's time 10 start preparing
to fertilize grass stands. The best
time to fertilize is as early as
possible after the snow is gone
Get out on those fields early in
the morning while the field is
still frozen. When the ground
thaws during the day and freezes
solid at night is the ideal time to
fertilize pastures. That way you
don't cut up your fields and the
fertilizer is ready to 60 as soon
as the gress is.
If you figure on seeding grass
this year using a nurse crop,
consider seeding barley for grain
rather than oats and peas. Mr..
Sweetma1 at the Experiment
Station has had best success by
seeding about eighty pounds OF
barley per acre and about twenty
pounds of bronze plus fertilizer.
Seed early and cut the barley for
grain. This gives the grass bet
ter chance of not being smother
ed as often happens when oats
and peas are used.
Another thing-seed the grass
with a fertilizer spreader or Bril-
lion seeder. If you seed in the
drill with the grain it usually
goes in too deep. That's a big
reason for poor stands. IF you
seed grass alone on fields subject
to the Knik winds, seed in early
July. There's lots of good grass
stands in the Valley. You can
have one too Il you do it right.
Good luck.

BROOKS APPOINTED
VALLEY REPRESENTATIVE
FOR JOHN DEERE

Al Brooks OF Brooks Equip
ment Co, has been appointed
Valley representative for nation
ally-known John Deere Farm
implements, by Alaska distribu-
tors, Northern Commercial Co.
In over century the name
John Deere has earned and held
the respect of farmers the world
over. The distinctive green and
yellow of John Deere equipment
is mark of pride and profit to
John Deere owners who buy,
with confidence, the equipment
bearing this color combination
and the world-famous "leaping
deer" trademark.
Farmer confidence in the name
John Deere was not gained over
night-the first steel plow ever
built was by John Deere in 1887
nor was it born of shortcut dis
counts, or wild trade-in allowan-
ces. It was built upon a quality
product, correctly designed, and
properly built to give the farmer
purchaser the maximum service,
over the longest period of time,
at the lowest possible cost.
Valley Farmers may contact
Brooks at his farm for demonstra-
tons when equipment arrives.
The implements are expected to
arrive soon according to Brooks.
