ALASKAN SUPPORT
IN MARCH OF DIMES
Governor Mike Stepovich has
wged Alaska residents to join
the 1958 March of Dimes cam
paign now underway to raise
funds to continue the fight
against infantile paralysis.
“The generous contributions of
Alaskans to the March of Dimes
in the past has helped make pos
sible the securing of a preventive
heachead in the battle against
■disease. The world now recogniz
es the Salk vaccine as a landmark
in medical history and many
children and adults have obtained
Jls protection. The majority, how
ever, still remain unprotected.
■“Over 325,000 children and
adults have been helped by the
March of Dimes during the past
ISO years and many hundreds of
these cases occurred in Alaska.
For these disabled citizens the
fight against polio is far from
nver and one of the principal
jobs of the 1958 March of Dimes
os to bring hope and usefulness
to the tens of thousands of polio
stricken children and adults who
can benefit from modern care
and rehabilitation.
“By contributing to the March
pf Dimes we are safeguarding
our own chances for health and
happiness and helping restore the
opportunity which infantile par
alysis has robbed from thousands
•of our fellow citizens.”
Governor Stepovich added:
“The fight against polio has
really just begun. We now have
the opportunity to make some
really important gains in polio
prevention and in the rehabilita
tion of those who are stricken.
“The March of Dimes is dedi
cated to these goals and merits
«»ur best efforts and support ”

Tax Exemption
The Planning Commission,
recommended to the Palmer City
Council that the City reconsider
the request of the Matanuska
Valley Farmers Cooperating As
sociation for the full amount of
tax exemption, considering Hie
added incoma that the new grain
industry will mean in sales tax
revenue and the encouragement >
given by the City’s general atti
tude to new industry that might
consider settling in the Valley,
and public relations in general.
Up for consideration at the
Planning Commission’s February

sewers, and tennis courts.

Farmers and their families will
see many equipment advances
when they attend the forthcom
ing John Deere Day. Among the
many new machines to be shown
at work that day will be this new
6-row planter which enables row
crop farmers to increase their
daily work out-put by as much as
50% at planting time.
Farmers will get to see the new
John Deere 6-Row Bedder when
they attend the forthcoming John
Deere Day program. This is one
of many new. big-capacity ma
chines to be shown that day and
which are destined to cut huge
hunks out of farm production
costs in the future.
