The library in liis home in Parkland contains 3,000 vnlumes, covering. a variety of subjects. No, he hasn't read them all-bat has browsed or delved into each book at one time or anotl1er.

Their expectations were more than fulfilled when Sunday evening brought to a cfose one of the most glorious alumni reunions in the history of the school.

Farm Equipment Plans Available Arc you interested in making a new machine or farm buildin~? If so, why not visit the cot1nty agent's office where drawings- of many kinds of lip-to-date farm equipment may. be seen and obtained iree of charge? Agricultural Engineer R. N. Miller of vVashington State College says: "Many of the most ingenious implements and other pieces of farm equipment are evolved by the fertile brains of farmers. In addition, the inspiration and ideas for such construction are often obtained from farmers who describe to agricultural engineers tl<c type of machines needed. "The plans for pieces of farm machinery are free, but blueprints for farm buildings cost 15 cents a sheet. Some 200 sets of blueprints for farm huildings are available, each plan requiring from one to nine sheets. Plans for a dairy barn requiring nine sheets could thus be obtained for $1.35." -0-

HEALTH MEETS BEING PLANNED-
Facing squarely the problems of rural health in \"iashington, leaders of various farm organizations and state and federal agencies affecting agriculture met in the State College of \fl/ ashinglun in Pullman recently to discus·s ways of meeting the situation. The conference was largely devoted to the development of detailed plans for a series of eight educational district meetings to be held with rural leaders throughout the state during March for the consideration of local problems and the furtherance of plans for specific action to -meet them. These meetings will be invitational in nature with attempt being made to gather the leaders from rather wide areas and later to hold community meetings throughout the state. Rural Areas Need Aid Facts gathered f r o m many sources were presented to the representatives at the Pnllman conference, indicating the seriousness of the health problem in rural areas of the state and nation. It was pointed out that all surveys reveal that there are too few doctors, den tis ts and other health workers in rural areas, and the facilities, including hospitals, they !:ave to work with are inadequate. Selective Service records showing the seriousness of the rural health situation were reviewed together with figures showing that during recent years rural health has been deteriorating rather than improving. District Conferences ,fhe senes· . · o f c11stnct con f erences will be designed to bring to rural leaders, both farm and nonfarm, a survey of the entire situation and of all forms of assistance available to them in meeting the problem in their particular area. The meetings will include an impartial discussion of all present facilities in both preventive and curative medicine as well as a die~s-t 0f pr~=er!t '(h~elth ph!!"!~" !!"! operation and a summary of present, pending and proposed legislation on the subject. Represenfed at the Pullman confcrence were the State Grang·e, •the State Department o.f Health, and a number of other state and county organizations.

A Vote of Confidence A vote for the proposed fire district at Saturday's election is a vote of appreciation for the work that the Parkland Volunteer Fire Department has. rendered to its community. The firemen, subject lo call 24 hours per day without any remuneration have been "chipping in" to meet expenses of the departmenr. Isn't it a shame for the rest of us in this community to stand idly by when we know that these firemen in addition to making 192 calls during the past two years have spent many hours drilling and practicing? On top of that they have dug down in their own pockets to raise money to keep the department going. There is on] y one fair way to maintain a fire department and that is through community taxation. That is the way the schools are supported. That is the way other government agencies are supported. Approval of the fire district in Saturday's election will mean that this community will have approximately $4,000 to $6,000 annually to maintain :ind operate a first class fire department. That figure, when divided among the 2,000-odd residents of the district, isn't wry much. How can you or anyone else oppose such a proposed district? Go to the polls on Saturday and show your appreciation for what· the Parkland firemen have done in the past. Your support at Saturday's election will mean tbat they will have ample funds and equipment with which to do an even better job in the coming years.
**** Tomorrow's Leaders It has been said that no Eagle Scout has ever been convicted of a felonious crime. Such an unchallenged claim is a fitting tribute to the Boy Scout program and to the thousands of leaders and scoutmasters who direct the activities of these youngsters throughout the country. It is timely, as wr~ observe Scout Week, to pay tribute to the fine seouting program and to recognize the invaluable effect it has on our youth. The scout oath-"On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and country ... "-has become a sacred obligation to every boy who has ever passed his tenderfoot requirements. The Scouting program is a wonderful thing and it has ;vorked wonders with the boys throughout the land. This week it is no more than right that we pay homage to the men of this community who arc responsible for keeping the fine work intact. Right now we are thinking of such grand fellows as Herb Kennedy. Howard Freeman, Don Whisler, Howard Bradshaw, Larry Bartolat, Roy Renner, C. P. Johan, John Gorow, and other scoutmasters of the Rajnier district. We feel confident that as long as we maintain a thorougl) Scouting program roday we will have qualified and honest leaders for our community and our country tomorrow.

Yes--electric cooking is so much easier, so much faster, that you have a lot more time to do the things you really want to do. Electric cooking is II economical, too - espe~ cially in Tacoma, where municipal ownership brings every home the benefits of America's lowest electric rates. As a matter of fact, the average Tacoma family operates a range for about 4c a day! When new ranges are available in Tacoma you'll find them at your eiectric deaier's or at ·1 acoma City Light.

Mrs. Ruth Allen, Reporter School Election The forthcoming election of the Clover Creek School District on March 2 promises to be the most interesting and closely contested in many years. The office of school director is coming in for the most attention. This year four men have entered the race for the directorship. They are Leslie V. Schaffner, Ches I e y Thornso.n, Fred \Netzel and Harry vVhite. The Board of Directors are also as-king the people o·f the district to vote the following millage: 3 mills for Bond Redemption, 3 mills for maintenance, 2 mills for building fund. The board is hoping to gradually add to the building fund until enough money is obtained to build a gymnasium for the school as Clover Creek is ?nc of the few s~l10ols of its size m the. county without a gym.

Here and There in Clover Creek Mr. and Mrs. Harold Graham and Baby Robert have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Carol vVallace the past week. Harry Marks·tone is busily engaged remodeling and enlarging his home. His next project is building a beau,tifnl brick fireplace. His brothers, Sam and Art Markstone, came out O\'er the "eek end to lend him a hand. The children of Clover Creek arc hoping for a good freeze. For the first time in several years Stony Lal~e has overflowed flooding the lower part of Hammond, Markstone, Ellstrom and Busby's pastures. The "kids" say thiswould make a wonderful s·kating rink if only it would just freeze. Pfc. Paul Hartman of the U. S. Marines is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hartman, while on a rnonth's furlough. His wife arrived Monday and is also visiting ill. the Hartman home. Paul expects to be dis-charged from the Marines shortly. Mrs. Ralph McCorkle was called to Lind, vVash., by the death of her uncle, Grover Huse, last Friday. 1-f er mother, Mrs. Ida Eden, is visiting with her at present.
