CUB SCOUTS, FATHERS TO HAVE canPour JUNE i4

Cub scouts and their fathers will gather at Barry's Finger Lake Resort on Friday, June IA, for their annual campout, one of the highlights of the cub scout year.

 Heinie" Snider says the ice finally left Lake Lucille with hls help on May 22, and on that morning Mrs. Snider started her daily summer dip and re- ports the water was just right.
 The Sniders celebrated their 4oth wedding anniversary by going to Anchorage for dinner at the "Driftwood." The food was excellent despite the fact that there was only candlelight and he wasn't sure what was on the plate. However, the big surprise came when he was told the WaitreSses wore short, short skirts, and he never noticed.

The annual Pioneers Picnic will be held at the Snider resi- dence and grounds on Lake Lucille June g. Work is go- ing on now to prepare the grounds for games and extra entertainment. There will also be a new outdoor fireplace ready for toasting hot dogs and marshmallows.
 Pioneers are reminded to bring their own plates, cups, and utensils and of course lots of food. Attendance last year was 500, and with a new Aux Hilary, more are expected to at tend this year.

THOUGHTS OF A AMMAN
I Will Lift Up My Eyes

Here in Alaska we are bless ed with the most stupendous panorama of mountains, lakes, glaciers, forests and rivers. Have you ever stopped to count your blessings? We have no potato bugs and no snakes. In the far north you can even get along without a refrigera- tor. But putting aside all friv- olity, we may, like the psalmist of old, look into the heavens and behold the myriad of stars that declare the glory of God. Winter nights are emblazoned with the aurora borealis. We even have rainbows in Novem- Der, at noon, and they are straight north. All a testimony to the power and majesty of Almighty God.

ing of the year was held on May g, with a circus being the theme for the night. Booths were constructed that contain ed animal shows, games of chance, comedy shows, and a fortune-telling booth. A cub scout parade was held, with most of the boys in costume.
 During the absence of the cub scoutmaster, H. J. Hodg- son, the cub scout program is being handled by the assistant scoutmaster, Wayne Bouwens.
 BouWens expressed his ap- preciation to the den mothers for their loyal support and ef- forts in carrying out the cub scout program.

LOCAL COUPLE PLAN TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND

The adventure of a trip to New Zealand awaits MT. and Mrs. Clifford Salisbury, a young couple who have made their home in Palmer for the past three years.
 Salisbury, teacher in the Palmer grade schools since 1860, has accepted position in the South Island district of New Zealand, where he will teach on the high school level.
 The young couple will leave Palmer late this week for Seat tie, where Salisbury will attend the University of Washington until Christmas time, working toward his masters degree.
 The Salisburys will then leave for New Zealand in time for the opening of the school term, which is in February in the Southern Hemisphere coun- try. They plan leisurely sea voyage, rather than to travel by plane.
 They have tentative plans to return to Palmer at the close of their New Zealand trip and after Salisbury completes work on his masters degree. The local teacher said he first saw Palmer in 1853, when he was here as an ACS telephone lineman.

Highest Holstein
Breeders Award
Given To Meyer

Charles F. Meyer, Jr.. Of
Amelia, has qualified f,r the
Progressive Breeders Award -
the highest recognition attain
able by breeder of r. gistered
Holstein cattle.
The Holstein- Friesian Associa-
ton of America, Rs-attleboro, VT.
has accorded this honor to only
SAT Holstein breeding establish
ments, including IL in Virginia.
This is the second time that Mr..
Meyer has been so recognized.
To qualify for the Progressive
Breeders Award, a Holstein
breeder must meet strict re-
quirements in all phases of dairy
cat le breeding and management
including production, type i'm
provement, herd health and the
development of home-bred ami
mails
The Meyer herd completed its
latest Dairy Herd Improvement
Registry testing year with a
lactation average calculated
on a two milklngs a day, 3O5
day mature equivalent basis =
on 46 individual records of 1885
pounds Of milk and 574 pounds
of butterfat.
The herd has also been Of
ficially classified for type with
breed age average of 1910 per
cert obtained by dividing the
classification score of each COW
BY the average score of all

same age.

ing to support the tank.
The common types are gen
eral purpose. bowl type water
ers, hog waterers. cattle water
ers, and combination hog and
cattle waterers. The combina-
ton units have a tank about 26
inches above the ground fer cat
tie and a trough at a lower level
for hogs.
Calhoun advises farmers to
buy the smallest unit that will
provide enough water for live
stock at all times. A general
purpose bowl type Watered will
handle up to 30 head of cattle
or 60 hogs.
The heating element should be
immersed in the water of the
tank or attached to the under
side Of the tank. These types are
more efficient than those which
warm the space enclosed by the
housing. The thermostat is an
important part of an automatic
livestock Watered. A thermnstat
with a 5-degree range between
the on and off operating points
is more efficient than one with a
l0-degree range.
Cattle or combination wafer
ers should be insulated. Insula-
ton on the sides reduces the
amount Of electricity used. Cat
tie Waterers should have a COW
er that can be placed over I'M
used sections to cut operating
costs. A cover on a hog wat
erer helps keep the water clean
and conserves heat.
Select a unit that IS easy to
clean. Some can be cleaned by
opening a drain, while others
are cleaned by dumping the con
tents of the tank.

Living Costs Have Only One Direction - Up.

NEW YORK LR - Living costs are stuck on a plateau. Unfortu- nately for the consumer it's a rec ord high one. And the prospects for change aren't impressive.
 The consumer price index is 107.1 per cent of the 1957-59 av- craze. This record was reached in July, held through August and September and apparently budged little if any in October.
 The most optimistic note sounded so far is that there is little indi- cation of a major upward move in the next few months at the consumer level, despite rash of price increases in some industrial materials and products.
 All other parts of the index rose - whether seasOnally, or nor mally, or in belated reaction to prior rises somewhere else along the line. Higher were the costs of housing, rents, apparel. medical care, personal care and reading and recreation.
 The statisticians think the big advances in service costs may be over, however - from now an any increase can be termed normal,
 So it looks like more of the same: Living costs may go on rising a bit, but if so the increases of one item or another can be labeled seasonal or normal.

At least the children will all have brushed their teeth once, and we will have made a record of each child's teeth. The future of the children's dental health rests sole ly with the parents"
 When one of the parents were asked why they had not taken their child to a dentist before, the reply was T told him to go and he didn't want to-
 With these remarks in mind t is no wonder that in the 12 year old age bracket there is an average of 10 thrilled cavities per child in Nome. This is double the num- Der in KOtZebue, and puts this district among the highest in the nation in dental needs.
 It has been further stated by those working in this program. that poor dental care tends to go hand in hand with poor work in the school academic program. Where parental guidance and encourage ment is lacking in the home, the child suffers its effect physically as well as intellectually. Glasses having a high percentage of capa- ble students usually have a lower incidence of tooth decay.
 It has taken idealism - faith that the situation can be bettered and eventually remedied, plus de- termination, organization and hard work with all interested parties, to create this first large scale dental program - Let us hope 1t IS not the last.
