assistance in financing through
^Farmers Home Administration.”
Wilson had inquired about the
administration of emergency feed
programs.
A folder, outlining the activities
of the Department when natural
disasters occur and a sheet con
cerning eligibility standards in
order to qualify for assistance,
were sent to the Palmer office.
This information has not yet been
thoroughly studied and was not
ready for report. However, Crow
ther pointed out that assistance
under this program will be pro
vided only for the maintenance
of foundation herds of cattle,
.sfeeep, and goats. Assistance to
any one applicant will be limit
ed to th^t required for him to ob
tain a 60-day supply of hay or
other feed, after taking into con
sideration the feed already on
'iiand and to be produced or other
wise acquired during that period.
Those are only two of several
requirements. However, until the
program is thoroughly studied it
will not be possible to make any
decision on just what assistance
will be forthcoming, from this
particular source.
In examining the crop lands
‘Crowther reports that many
dairymen have plowed under
:their brome fields and reseeded

able in the low spots. He stated
in his own potato fields he finds
that the seed spuds are not send
ing down roots—the moisture is
mot -enough. Elsewhere in the
’valley Crowther said the potato
picture is pretty good. Summing
up Ms report he said that many
dairy farmers especially in the
jsouth section of the valley are in
serious trouble unless there is
a sufficient rainfall soon. With
out the rainfall they will be in
trough shape he said.
Currant pointed out that he

t ethy Clerk L. C. Stock told
those:at the meeting that about
15 years ago the Co-Op needed
water for their increasing indus
try. Band Holland Snodgrass at
that time made a preliminary
study, along with a Mr. Curtis,
engineer who worked on the sew
er 'system, on the feasibility of
bringing the waters of Moose
Creek into the valley. Thoughts
ohusing 'Little Susitna were dis
carded because of the gold mines
which dump tailings and cyanide
into the river. Moose Creek is a
large source of water—good wai
ter—there is unoccupied land in
large enough area to use as a
water shed. He pointed out that
'the City of Palmer has a prob

yEpebt on the city well—this year
.about $2,000—in addition to the
most of operation. The city is fac
with the need of another well
which may run in the neighbor
hood of $10,000. Durrant pointed
hut that the Co-Op water source
is very low—in fact he said, at
Hhe present time it is producing
less than ever because of the
^drought, and may become worse
cas time goes on.
Following additional discus
sions it was voted to request the
^Bureau of Reclamation to make
in investigation in the possibility
(Of using Moose Creek for the pur
jpose of bringing water into the

farmers for irrigation and other
meeds; the city, and the Co-Op in

KELLEIGH FAMILY
LEAVING FOR STATES
Sergeant and Mrs. William Kel
leigh and family are leaving Pal
mer this week-end, following a
stay of 414 years during which
Sgt. Kelleigh was station com
mander at the Palmer ACS of
fice. Active in the community
throughout their stay, the Kel
leighs will be missed by the many
valley residents with whom they
became friends. In taking leave
of the valley, the family extend
ed their farewells through' the
media of The Frontiersman. “We
can’t get to see many of those
whom we’d like to. We have ap
preciated the way in which we
were received into the commun
ity—and we do plan ’ to return
some day” they said. Kelleigh
has been reassigned to the Seattle
ACS office.

RecreatiQn for all is governed
by the State. Olympic potentials
are taken from their homes and
places of work and sent to train-i
ing camps where they are sup
ported and trained by the state,
following a program of the total
itarian state.
Speaker Korn said that even in
Russia the farmers are the most
independent group. It is harder
for the state to control the farm
ers than any other one group, he
said.
The speaker compared the two
zones in Germany, pointing out
that women in the Western zone
are well' dressed people well fed
and the buildings being restored.
“Dictatorships are not lasting”,
he pointed out. “In time revolu
tion will come and it may come
from the youths who are dis
satisfied with being regimented.
He pointed out that in the past
eight or ten months there have
been smoldering demonstrations
in the universities.
The speaker was sponsored by
the Palmer Kiwanis Club. From
here he, and Mrs. Korn who ac
companied her husband, left for
Anchorage where he had a num
ber of speaking engagements.
A request from the Kirby Am
usement Co., Inc. of Oklahoma
City to operate a carnival in
Palmer the early part of July
was discussed by Council mem
bers at recent meeting. The com
pany had requested they be al
lowed to rent the city lot, across
from the fairgrounds. Council
members agreed to rent the lot for
10 percent of the gross providing
the company purchase the $100
business license and post a $1,000
bond to guarantee clean up of
the lot.
Elks Dinner-Dance—
(Continued from page 1)
offred by the Elks, these weekly
treatments would involve trips
to Anchorage each week.
“Through the instructions given
by Mr. Morris, we are able to
continue 'the prescribed therapy
between his visits”, she said.
“Because of the excellent treat
ments Morris has been giving, it
will not be necessary for our boy
to have an immediate operation,”
she said. “At the present time his
muscles are beginning to show
life and we believe that within a
year he will be able to discard
his brace and that within three
years following an operation, his
leg will be normal size.”
Morris’ territory extends from
Fairbanks to Kodiak by way of
Glenallen, Seward, Homer, Pal
mer and Anchorage. A second
therapist is located in Southeast
ern Alaska and has cases in
Hoonah, Sitka, Metlakatla, Jun
eau, Hollis and Ketchikan. An
other therapist will sdon have to
be hired to handle the increas
ing number of cases, according to
Robert D- Lewis, chairman of the
Alaska Territorial Elks Cerebral
Palsy Foundation Commission.
In a report made to each par
ticipating Elks lodge Lewis
pointed out that the Commission
has found themselves in the roll
of business executives, manag
ing a business. It represents a po
tential income of $40,000 a year
and an expenditure at this time
at close to $35,000 a year. Lewis
stated that there are still a num
ber of children that need treat
ment. I he Alaskan Elks are mak
ing this program possible. Once a
year they offer an opportunity to
the general public to help in this
territory-wide program. In Pal
mer this opportunity will be ex
tended Saturday night when the
public is invited to not only have
an evening of good food and
dancing but to help make pos
sible the continuance and expan
sion of this program.
During the evening two prizes
will be awarded; one an out
board motor and the other a clo
thes drier.
