Alaska will have its first Grand
Rainbow Girls Assembly in August
1868.
This was the decision made re-
Gently in Anchorage by Alaska's
Grand Rainbow Executive Board.
Members representing all sections
of Alaska met in conference there
to decide the feasibility of plan
ming a grand assembly for all
of Alaska sometime in the near
future. The group unanimously de-
cided to GO ahead and formulate
plans for such a meeting with the
target dates, August %, "a, 25, 1858.
The host assembly and city of the
meet will be decided by the board
at later date, Robert M Parkins,
Supreme Rainbow Deputy OF Alas
ka said. Grand assemblies will be
held in alternate north and south
portions of Alaska each year.
Parkins explained that for 80
years, Alaska has been part of
grand jurisdiction composed of the
states of Washington and Idaho, but
about one year ago Alaskans were
informed by the Supreme Interna-
tional Order of Rainbow for Girls
that the 49th State had been made
into a separate jurisdiction. That
meant that this is the last year that
Alaska Rainbow Girls will partici-
pate in a tri-state meeting.
In fact, the executive board stated
that they hope to have the new
Alaska Grand Rainbow officers for
1863 installed this June in Spokane
at the Grand assembly there.
1,O25 Active Girls
At the present time there are
about 1925 active Rainbow Girls in
Alaska in about 13 active and one
inactive Rainbow assemblies.
Members serving on the Grand
Executive Board for Alaska other
than Mr.. ParkinS include Mrs. OS-
car Elisen, Miss Norma Brekke,
Miss Barbara Peterson, Mrs. Hal
Drinkall. Charles Wilson and Mary
Hahn.
Parkins. who is Supreme Deputy
of Rainbow in the State is also past

Alaska Airlines
Plans To Train
Alaskan Workers

Plans are presently underway for
the establishment of school to
train Alaskans in airplane mechan-
les and other ground crew func-
tons.
R. E. Murray, director of train
ing for Alaska Airlines, last week
conferred with S en- tor Ernest
Gruening and officials of the De-
partment of the Interior concerning
his firms planned program.
The airline plans to institute a
14-month ground crew training
course to train Alaskans. By train
ing Alaska residents, the firm feels
It will eliminate past problem
which has faced many Alaskan
firms, when. after considerable
training, employees choose not to
remain in Alaska.
Murray feels the school will solve
a problem common to all airlines in
Alaska. According to Murray. many
individuals on ground crews are
nearing the retirement age, and re-
placements must be found.
He pointed out that while Alaska
Airlines' training school at Payne
Field, Wash, has trained many
pilots, navigators, stewardesses, and
other personnel for the various air.
lines in Alaska, there has been no
training for ground crews.

it on hand for the evening
when there is no sun. To get
the heat into the stone water
is utilized.
Hundreds of small streams
flow down the black solar
painted roof surface. AS it
runs down the black metal
surface it is heated. The
small streams are collected
into one large stream at the
bottom of the collector, and
the hot water flows to the
heat storage bin.
The beauty of the inven-
tors solar heating system is
that he can reverse the proc
eSs and use it to air condi-
ton his house in the sum-
mer. He says it is also ca
pable of heating a swimming
pool, if need be.
The cooling aspect of the
solar system is achieved by
running the water over the
metal roof during the cool
of a summer night.
In case the temperature
in the winter drops below 70
degrees a thermostat cuts in
to bring heat up that is
stored in the bin. However,
if the temperature drops to
SO degrees a second thermo-
stat automatically cuts in the
auxiliary oil heater. This
hasn't happened too often
this year.
Despite the cold tempera-
lures we have experienced in
the past week Mr.. and Mrs
ThomaSon'S heating bill as OF
yesterday morning was $3.04

When you get your heat
ing bill this month envy In
ventor Harry Thomason of

He has it made.
His house may not look
like an architectural gem, but
it is practical. AS long as
the sun shines he gets a free
ride as far as heating is con-
cCrned.
His answer is a solar
heated house he built and
designed himself. His fuel
bill for last years bitter Win
ter was $500. The money was
spent to operate an auxili-
airy oil heating system dur
ing those days when it was
so cloudy that his solar Sys-
tenn would not work effici-
emily.
Mr.. Thomason'S furnace is
no crude affair that barely
takes the chill off the house.
He has five children and
keeps the temperature be-
tween 10 and 70 degrees.
Nothing New
There's nothing new about
mankind's hope to use the
suns energy for heat and
power" the46-year-old Army
Signal Corps patent advisory
declared. THE thing I have
done. I think, is to develop
efficiency with low cost ma
terials, so that solar heat
can compete with artificial
heat"
His heat collector takes a
simple form. 1t looks like a
carport. The roof is actually
the solar collector where all
the work is done.
1t is composed of layers of
materials including insula-
ton, sheet metal, transpar-
ent plastic and a sheet of
glass.
Fhe metal aided by black
solar paint collects the suns
heat. Water is flowed over
this and in turn is heated.
But when most of us are
ruing the day snow is on the
ground, Mr.. ThomaSon is
happy. The reflected light
from snow makes his heat
ing apparatus more effective.
Stone Storage
The heart of the system
is a room filled with so
tons of stone. 1t is the stone
that stores the heat and keeps

for approximately 20 gallons
of fuel oil.
For purposes of accuracy,
MI. Thomason says he has
not used the second therma-
stat that controls the oil
furnace. He said he has fol-
lowed a practice in that past
three years of turning the
oil furnace on manually in
order to get precise figures
on the amount of fuel oil
used.
Heated by the solar furn-
mace are five rooms, a base
ment recreation room and a
bomb shelter. The total cost
of the device was $2,490.
Children in Act
But the solar furnace is
not the end of the Thom-
ason story. His children are
following in his footsteps.
They have designed and built
a solar heated play tent. They
have applied for a patent for
the toy and have received en-
couragement from experts in
the Patent Office.
The youngsters have not
been able, though, to OUT
strip their Dad. They haven't
yet come up with an idea to
air cool it in the summer.
But they will get a chance
to exhibit their tent along
with their fathers solar's
system at a Patent Office
exhibit on chemicals and syn
theticS that will be held at
the Commerce Department
from Febrauary Is to March 9.

RIDGES AND BURROWS


AS a young minister l went
to the field to visit a farmer.
1t was spring and he was
planting corn with a lister.
There were ridges and fur
rows, ridges and burrows a
cross a wide expanding, many
an acre field.
Stepping from one ridge to
the other 1 spied a tiny in
sect attempting to climb out
of the furrow. I said, poor
little fellow, your horizon is
far too limited. You cannot
see that your burrows and
ridges are but the part of g
master plan to produce a har.
vest of corn to feed hungry
multitudes."
Does your life seem full of
ridges and burrows? Remem-
Der the Lord of harvest knows
what is best for your life
and the lives to come. Job
%: 10 says: "He knoweth the
way that l take and when He
hath tried me l shall come
forth as gold"
Seek not, then, the expert
ence of someone else, but
seek Gods divine will for your
life. Relinquish what He
takes and receive what He
gives, and be thankful for it.
