Palmer Seeks To
Incorporate
PALMER, Alaska, Palmer,
which had a population of four at
its birth 16 years ago, flexed its
muscles Saturday in an effort to
become an incorporated first class
city. It now has 850 residents.
The move has both short and
long range goals.
Of immediate concern is the
problem of a water shortage caus
ed by a summer drought, and re
sultant dust in the streets brought
about by the prolonged dry spell.
Dust swirled in clouds on the
main street Friday until a light
snowfall Friday night. Even some
of the nearby mountains are bare
of snow except at their peaks.
Rainfall during the summer was
only half of normal.
The far sighted aim is to pro
mote rapid growth of this Matan

has ambitions to become Alaska’s

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (/P)—
Nine Roman Catholic churchmen

j bots—were convicted of espionage
and high treason Saturday in an
alleged Vatican plot to overthrow
Czechoslovakia’s communist gov

The accused, who had joined
the prosecution in condemning
the Vatican as a spy center for
American capitalism, received
sentences ranging from 10 years
to life imprisonment.
All nine had cooperated with
the prosecution. They confessed
to the charges against them and
declared their repentence—assert
ing that the church hierarchy had
i led them into anti-state activities.
Bishop Zela told his judges that
the trial had demonstrated to him
the “espionage activity” of the
! Holy See.

IN APPRECIATION
From The Girl Scouts
To Mr. Dewey Goodrich and
employees of the N. C. Store, we
are deeply grateful, for they cer
tainly helped to make our Bazaar
and Food Sale a success. We are
also appreciative of the splendid
cooperation which we received
from our sponsors—The Home
Arts Club. It would be impossible
to list the names of those who so
gnerously contributed to both the
Bazaar and Food Sale, so may we
say "Thank you one and all." We
also wish to thank The Nome Nug
get for all the free advertising.
The fact that we cleared $258.80
is proof that our Bazaar and Food
Sale was a success.
We are happy to announce that
Mary Jean Boucher won the oil
painting.
