repainting countless numbers of
toy animals, dolls, and toys pre
paring them for Christmas dis
tribution to children in less for
tunate circumstances. Mrs. Love
.Vo: said this week that the re
sponse this year topped that of
I9f5 by about 75 percent. “The
tap s were in far better condition,
xm>", she added. A few adult vol
unteers who wish to remain an
eaonymous donated time in pre
paring dresses for the dolls.
*rhe toys, along with clothing,
•wi l be distributed throughout
’iht valley area. Anyone knowing
•»f a deserving family is asked to
(roiitact Mrs. Lovejoy as soon as
possible, so there will be no dis
appointed children at Christmas
rijhrje.
Bond Election
/Continued fro™ page 1)
'permission to sell bonds to fi
nance paving, if the property
m ners so desire.
lan Koslosky, city councilman!
mi o was at the Chamber meeting,
sotd members that he does not
^believe that Palmer will ever
i^ave another chance to get pav
ing done any cheaper than now
when the city and the BPR can
go together on the project. “Our
problem is in findng out what
the tax payers want done", he
added. He poined out that paving
th heavily traveled streets first
wi 1 save the city thousands of
ric lars in the cost of watering
Hi** now existing gravel streets.
SI will release the street depart
ao.i nt personnel for more work
cither sections of the city, he
•also pointed out.
Mayor Wilson was emphatic in
IKtinting out that property own
ers are invited to inquire further
snto the proposal and members
csf the Chamber of Commerce
stated they will sponsor a public
iorum prior to the bond election
January 22 at which time city
officials will be present to com
fftMely explain the proposition,
ft was expressed that if the pro
a«sa! bad been better explained
g*rior to the first bond election,
ft. would have passed, as many
property owners who now under
ffcind the proposal have indicat
or! Ctieir favor.
The legal notice of the Janu
J z\i22<election is being published
ft* the 'first time in this week’s
■issue of The Frontiersman. Tax
jparyers are urged to read the no
ure so that they may become
Aawrutiar with the proposal prior
-election time. The notice is
'wry similar to the one given pri
(or to the October bond election,
-«rllh one noticable difference.
T*ie new proposal eliminates the
»'«isistruction of sidewalks as it
nw felt by the Council that pro
BM’rty owners desiring sidewalks
w/ill be able to have them con
structed on their own with no
’trouble, as the curbs will be in
• and the grades established.
It was also pointed out by May
n Wilson and Councilman Kos
jszssky that one of the main rea
mbos the business section was
rfhosen for the first paving was
s**cause grades and levels have I
t**>n established and that a sew
rsr system now exists along the
proposed route.

The community of Chistochina,

There are 10 pupils. A benefit
was recently held to help pay for
materials which were used in fix
ing a building for the school
house. Two prizes, which were
Alaskan oil paintings, were aw
arded to Mary Kuavik of Glen

Everyone's help and interest was
very much appreciated, the com

FOR FAST RESULTS TRY A
FRONTIERSMAN CLASSIFIED
Fertilizer—
(Continued from page 1)
ers containing a double salt of
potassium-magnesium sulfate sup
ported better plant growth than
those without magnesium, experi
ence has shown. Whether or not
the yields were improved re
mains to be determined. This
improved top growth with mag
nesium was not observed in the
Matanuska Valley or on the Ken
ai Peninsula.
Another point to remember in
ordering fertilizer ingredients,
Dr. Dearbonr pointed out, is that
1956 recommendations were bas
ed on sacks weighing 100 pounds.
Most fertilizer ingredients are
now shipped in 80-pound contain
ers.
