Many Of the books that
fall into the category of col
lector's items get there not
so much because Of their
textual content as for their
illustrations.
For example, any first edi-
ton with Frederic Reming-
ton illustrations will. in time,
command a premium price
in the rare book market. Few
artists Of the old West even
approach him in popularity
with modern book collectors,
although the work Of Charles
NJ. Russell has a growing
following.
A typical item that has
grown scarce and valuable
because 1t contains fine ex-
amples of Remington's work
is the special edition Of
Francis Parkman's THE
Oregon Trail" published in
1892. The title page reads:

 Winston Gilchrist, city man. ager, brought up the question of liability which the city would assume as property own CT. Attorney Bliss recommended that the airmen insure the air port with a hold harmless" clause for the city, or that the city should extend it's present liability policy to cover tn e airport. It was suggested that if the city extends it's policy to cover the airport, the cost should be taken out of the gas tax refund before the money IS turned over to the airmen. Dixon suggested a policy ac- ceptable for everyday airport use, with special policies to | cover special events such as air shows.
 The aviation officials sug- gested adoption of the resolu- ton to assume ownership of the airport, saying that a week or ten days would be necessary to clear the assumption agree ment in Juneau.
 Reminded of the states promise to turn over the 1864 budget allowance of $500 to the city, Clarke said this would De included in the assumption agreement.
 Other business conducted at the Tuesday meeting included a report from manager Gil christ on the progress of the engineering contract for the sewers. Gilchrist said he had m ms hands sections 3 through 10 or the report, and would nave the balance by next Mon- oay, as well as a map as yet uncompleted and a covering letter signed by a registered engineer. It was agreed that if contract requirements are not completed by next Monday, a special meeting will be called TOT Monday evening.

neighborly get-together, the
planned potluck. Is perhaps
more satisfactory today since
1t presents fewer Implications
on the menu.
After all, you don't want
to end up with six crooks Of
baked beans, two or three
bowls Of potato salad and
not enough meat to 60
around.
The potluck supper pic
tured here is planned to serve
eight, but the same menu
can be used for twice that
number If you like. Rather
than double or triple the
recipes, it's q better idea to
stick to the original recipe
but ask two families to each
bring q casserole, salad, or
a batch Of cookies.
If the party's going to be
at your house you might
supply the appetizers and the
beverage. One family brings
the main dish, another the
salad, and still another the
dessert.
The casserole makers can
bring their contributions well
wrapped in insulated bags;
If the trips too far to keep
the dish piping hot until
serving time, 1t can be run
into the hostess oven for a
quick warm-up.
And If you want to make
the cleanup job easy on
yourself. use paper plates,
cups and tablecloth. Paper
plates =. and cups
come In very attractive de-
signs these days and are
treated SO they won't become
limp.
