THOUGHTS
OF A
LAYMAN
No Monkey Business
Peter carried a sword,
and with it cut of the ear of
Malchus, servant of the high
priest. Christ told Peter, ‘Put
thy sword in its sheath.”
Then touching the wounded
Man, He restored his ear. He
did not stoop down and pick
the dismembered organ that
lay on the ground, nor did He
stitch it back on again. His
healing touch restored the
ear completely, a brand new
ear without the benefit of
the evolutionary theory of
man’s scientific know-how.
It needed not to go through
the process of being the ear
of a lizard or a muskrat, but
just plainly and only a hu
man ear, created on the spot,
and that less than 2000 years
ago.
Oregon is number one pro
ducer of winter pears, green
snap beans, and filberts in US.

Let's Look At
The Record Of
Who Has Done
What For The
Valley
The area centering on Palmer has been developed by a lot of hard work
by a lot of good people. We who live here know that.
But in that work we have had the constant and unfailing assistance
of sympathetic public officials. Those officials, throughout the time of our
growth, have been Democrats. Here are some of their Matanuska Valley achieve
ments.
Q The Alaska Railroad, first opening the valley to access, was built
under the Democratic Administration of Woodrow Wilson.
^ The Matanuska Valley Colony, giving this area its real start toward
lasting development, was established by the Democratic Administration of
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
£ The University of Alaska, whose agricultural experiment and ex
tension programs have been of invaluable aid to all of us, was established under
a Democratic Administration.
0 The Rural Electrification Administration was created under the
Democratic Administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, even though it was bitterly
fought by members of the other party in Congress. It has contributed immensely
to the growth of the Valley and the well-being of our residents.
% The Eklutna Project, the only federal hydroelectric project in Alaska,
located practically on our doorstep was conceived and obtained under the Demo
cratic Administration of Harry S. Truman.
£ The Glenn Highway, and all other roads connecting the Matanuska
Valley with the rest of Alaska, were built under Democratic Administrations in
the Nation and the Territory.
Q The Palmer Airport was byilt under a Democratic Administration,
though bitterly attacked by members of the other party.
£ The first schools in the Valley came under Democratic Administra
tions and all our real advances in education have been made while Democrats
held office in our Territory and State.
% Our hospital was buiit with the assistance of Hill-Burton funds,
a program of Democratic origin.
£ The Youth and Adult Authority located its camp in this area under
a Democratic Administration.
0 The present Congressional Delegation, Democrats all, have brought
great advances in Department of Agriculture programs here, won the decision
by the military to serve fresh milk to troops in Alaska (thus greatly aiding the dairy
industry) and have protected the Matanuska Valley coal industry from ruin which
would follow conversion of the military bases at Anchorage to natural gas. Ask
any member of coal management in this area about how tough a battle was
involved.
0 The Democratic Congressional Delegation obtained crop replace
ment aid after the winter kill of brome grass a year ago; it has won improved
price support for oats and barley; has obtained the stationing of two additional
Farmers Home Administration agents in Alaska and an increase in Farmers Home
loan funds in Alaska from $132,000 per year to $1.5 million.
0 Daily delivery of all classes of mail over the Alaska Highway was
fought for successfully by our Democratic Congressional Delegation.
0 Legislation permitting sale of 31 parcels of land in the Matanuska
Valley at ARRC appraised prices was passed by a Democratic Congress at the
urging of the Alaska Delegation.
0 A federal grant of $420,000 for the new high school at Wasilla
came under Public Law 815, a Democratic program.
