Cooperation of persons using the community ambulance is needed, it was stated this week hy members of the local Beta Sigma Phi sorority, sponsoring organization.
 Many accounts are outStand- ing and it was pointed out by the group that charges for the use of the ambulance are kept at min i1s1un, for the benefit of the per sons who find 1t necessary to use the vehicle. However" the wo- Eaen added, If these minimum charges are not paid, there is no other income with which to keep the ambulance running.
 The ambulance itself was do- mated to the sorority some three years ago by the Anchorage Fun eral Chapel. The sorority has pur- chased needed equipment to out lit the ambulance and has put considerable funds into it's opera lion since that time. In addition various organizations, individu- als and business establishments have made contributions. The ambulance must be kept in top condition, requiring winter tires, chains, anti-freeze, oil changes, and other expenses necessary to keep it ready for 24-hour duty.
 At the present time the sorority hopes to replace the out-dated respirator now being used. It is an old model and may be used on only one persons at a time. The new one they hope to purchase is smaller, more compact, easier to operate, and may be used on more than one persons at the same time.

Odd Money
Habits Among
Pre-Teen Age

ST. LOUISA study of 500 chill
dren in six st. Louis schools re-
veals things parents may not know
about the ways children spend
and save their money.
The study, entitled "Pre-Adol-
escent development under the di-
rection of Sister Mary Anselm, d.
rector of the home economics edu-
cation department.
Questionnaires were filled out
by students of the third, fourth,
and fifth grades and their par
ents. Their answers, summarized
in a recent report, show that
both parent and child had some
unusual monetary habits.
Third and fourth grade stu
dents receive a larger weekly al
lowance than fifth graders. Third
graders get 81 cents, fourth grad
ers, SO cents, and fifth graders,
81 cents.
Only 13 per cent of the students
earned money outside the home,
and most Of these were fifth grad
ers. Next to allowances and
"doles" from the parents, the best
source of revenue is grandpar-
ents.
Thirty-eight per cent of the
children keep part of their saw
ings in a secret hiding place."
but only seven per cent of the
parents know of any such place.
According to answers in the va.
rious categories, 70 per cent of
this group contribute some money
in church; 60 per cent of them
spend money on CONNECTIONS; an.
other 80 per cent use the money
for movies, and AZ per cent spend
part of the allowance for comics.
Of those who earned money
outside the home, IS per cent
were saving for a particular pur.
pose. "This may be an indication
comments the report, ''that when
a child earns his money he gains
a stronger concept of the value OF
money, or, perhaps, it indicates
that children with a strong mott.
walton to save for a particular
purpose will be anxious to earn
money to accomplish this goal"
