ROBERT SMITH Since report cards have just been given out most parents are interested in the gj^des. So many students wait until report cards time comes around to start worrying about grades. Parents think they have heard many excuses, but we teachers have heard many more. Some are: too much work to do at home, visiting friends, forgot books, lost books, teacher’s dis like them, or the unconcerned attitude on part of students and parents. Many failing students have told me their parents did not care what they made. I am sure they are mistaken, but it is up to the parents to show them that they do care. The first step toward better grades is for the parents to let the children set aside a regular study time and help them to use those times of concentration. The ideal time in my opinion would be in the afternoon before sup per, but of course that is for each family to work out. The next step toward better grades and better students is understanding between student and teacher. If there is a misun derstanding or you are worried about how to help your child, talk it over with the teacher in volved. This does a better job than a “licking” after the report cards are out and all that six weeks is wasted. I have never known a teacher who liked to give low grades. It is her duty to her profession to be honest in this all important job, so we must give what the student makes. You should hear teachers brag about some stu dent who has improved in his work; you would think they were the parents themselves. Cooperation is the keyword in this triangle of student, parent, and teacher. You taxpayers em ploy us as teachers, why don’t you come and see how your em ployees are doing? After all, we are handling the world’s most important product — your child ren. Births Dara Cecile Smith is the name given the new baby girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Claude A. Smith on November 24.

Sears of Nahun ta, wrote a letter home recently describing some of his exper iences in Alaska. He is stationed at Kenai, Alaska, in the U. S. Army. His letter to his parents at Na hunta was in part as follows: 28 NOV. 1958 Kenai, Alaska. Dear Folks; I will sort of run through my trip to Fairbanks from the be ginning to the end. . . left here about eight o’clock one morning, went to Anchorage and bought military gasoline. It is 22 cents per gal. and the other is forty some odd cents: Then went on to Palmer and through the Mat anuska valley. It is the farming region of Alaska. There was snow on the ground so couldn’t tell much about it. Got on up near Glenallen and it was after dark by that time and the temperature went to 15 degrees below. The car heater wasn’t or rather isn’t any good so it was really cold in it. We took tape and taped up all the windows and stuffed paper into the dash where we though air might come in. That helped a pretty good bit. At Glenallen we turned due North towards Fairbanks. Got about 10 miles up the road and it got colder and colder. About 115 miles due south is a town called Valdes, pronounced Val dees. So we took a vote and headed for it. Along there sometime I bought some gas and it was about 50% water and it began to get into the engine and made things real bad finally I had to get some wood alcohol and pour into the tank to absorb the water. Fin ally got that partially straighten ed out and went on to Valdes. It is a city that figured in the gold rush very prominently. It is very old and settled for an Alaskan town. . . went on up to Fairbanks after two nights there . . . slept one night on Eilison Air Force Base, and then went on to the city proper and out to the museum at the U. That is really nice. There is a history of Alaska there and is well worth seeing. The city is of about 10,000 people and is pretty modern. We bought gas on Ladd AFB. and started back about eight o’clock the next a. m. Still had trouble on the way back with the water in the gas by taking off the fuel line on the pump several times to get the water out. The gasket became bad and leaked air so it ran bad on the way back. I drove from Fairbanks to An chorage and got tired so this other fella drove for a while and I dozed. He didn’t know the road so after awhile I took over again. The road all this time was icy and very slick. About thirty miles from'here I passed a huge moose. And about two miles la ter I started to pass another one that wasn’t so big. I started to pass it on the right and just as I got there it went to my side of the road. With it so icy I could n’t do anything but hit it. It knocked the moose up in the air and it hit the car on the top over the back seat when it came down we went on down the road for away before we could stop. It was about two thirty in the morning by that time and about three feet of snow on the ground. Well we went out and built a fire the first thing for it was pretty cold. Had to wait till about eight o’clock for a .ride back to post. It killed the moose and bent the left fender of the car and also the hood. It was hit hard enough to drive the radiator back into the fan and knock a hole in it. Luckly I had one from the other car so I put it in and am back on wheels. Will put the hood and fender from the other one on this summer. Is too cold to do it in the winter.
